Paris, Dec. iS.--In the chamber OF
deputies Monday NJ, GrouSset, radical
socialist, interpellated the government
on the DreyfuS affair. He read extracts
from newspaper articles alleged TO
have emananted from members of the
general staff, which caused an uproar
during which the deputies rose, rushed
at one another, and engaged in a series
Of fist fights. Grousset continued his
remarks in the middle of the tumult,
Premier Dupuy protested with the ut
most energy against the language of
the speaker, who, he added, had not
measured its possible effect. Derousle
revisionist, shouted, Come off the
tribune" This caused REIMBURSEMENT
of the uproar. When semi-Quiet was
restored, GrouSset said the center of
resistance to revision of the Dreyfus
case was no longer the ministry of
war. Il was elsewhere. As to the Sc
CVet documents in the case, he poin ted
out that they had been ridiculed by
Emperor William himself. (Loud pro-
teStS.)
Deschanel (rep) advised him not to
mix foreign sovereigns in
the debate any more than he would
mix the president of the republic in II,
Grousset continuing, spoke OF articles
in newspapers in which it was pointed
out that Russia and the czar were
mixed up in the Dreyfus affair, He
also alluded to the recent semi-ofiicial
note relative to the miaister of foreign
affairs, Decasse, being obliged to eX
plain certain statements to the Ger
man ambassador (interruptionsl rela-
tive to the latter's daughter, (Uproar
and hootsl. Austria, Grousset said,
was next mixed up in the affair. The
speaker said he pointed out these
matters to show that press campaign
had been inaugurated by certain in
terested persons to prevent the discov-
cry OF the truth. Grousset concluded
with demanding If the government was
disposed to allow the law to pass from
the ministry to the military govern
ment of Paris; if it would govern for

pretensionS it will be necessary for
the older organization to take action
in the matter. The western unions are
much more progressive" than are
those of the east, and this was one IF
the reasons for the new movement
The leaders claim, however, that the
new movement being sectional, can
not succeed.
A novel proposition submitted by
one of the local unions provides for
doing awav With the boycott, and in
its place to nave all local unions levy
fine on members purchasing uon-
union made goods. 1t is claimed that
in many eases the boycott is illegally
used, and used against those whom It
should not be, and that this indiscrim-
mate use has had tendency to
weaken the cause of organized labor,
1t is contended that the same eods
could be reached by buying nothing
but label goods, which would be a
guaranty that they were the produce
of union labor.

Perhaps General Garcia had always
intended to ask the United States to
give-or to loan-$l0.000, 900 for pay
ment of the Cuban allies for services
while they were our allies, but the
idea may have been strengthened
greatly by our offer of paying $780,,
900, 900 for the Philippines. 1t doesn't
seem any more queer to he average
Cuban that we should pay the people
in whose behalf we went to war than
that we should pay the people whom
we defeated.
