arrests had been made. The crowds were
continually augmented until the vicinity OF
the chamber of deputies was black with
neople cheering General Chanoine and the
army.
The cuirassiers had the greatest difficulty
in clearing a way around the Madeline and
the Rue Royae. There were many encoun
ters between the people and the police.

guards, cuirassiers and police are massed

colleagues, knowing that he was unaccus-

! as NJ DE Roulede INDUCED in, tried vanly
to prevent his ascending the tribunal. He
spoke briefly, with painful ineoherence and
then literally bolted from the chamber. The
scenes that followed wer almost ndescrlba-
