vOked the Trouble.

PARIS, Dec. 13.-In the chamber OF
deputies M. Grouset, Radicals Socialist
interpellated the government on the
status of the general staff in the Drey.
fus affair. He read abstracts from the
newspapers which purported to have
emanated from members of the general
staff, which provoked general uproar,
during which the deputies arose and
rushed at one another and engaged in q
series of fist fights.
M. Grouset continued his remarks in
the midst of the general uproar and re.
called letters from Emperor William
and an interview between Count Won
Munster, the German ambassador al
Paris, and M. Cassimir-Per the for.
mer president of the republic.
The premier, NJ. Dupuy, said that, as
the head of the government, he pro
tested with the utmost energy against
the language of the speaker, who, he
added, had not measured its possible eff
feet.
M. Grouset continued his speech amid
violent interruptions and its conclusion
was greeted with protests from all parts
of the chamber. The minister of wal
followed, repudiating M. Grouset's al.
legations.
M. Dupuy asked the chamber to close

assured them that he believed they were
safe, but the only recognized authority
in Havana was the Spanish executive.
Later a number of Spanish officers
called upon General Greene to ask if he
had any objection to having Sanguilly
and other Cubans, who were ''secreted''
in the hotel, taken away. General
Greene consented and General San.

Consent of the Governed, He
Says, Is the Basic Prin-
ciple Involved.
THE CANAL BILL DISCUSSED
Mr.. Morgan Opens the Fighter
the Measure in a Three
Hour Speech.
Whole Country, He Declares, Is
DESTROYS That Congress
Take Action.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-Discussion of
two questions, each of interest and inn
portance at this time, was begun by the
senate during the day. Territorial ex-
pansion and the construction of the
Nicaragua canal occupied the attention
of the body during the greater part Of
the afternoon.
AS soon as the routine business had
been disposed of Mr.. Vest Oem., Mo-
talled up his resolution offered last week
declaring it to be unconstitutional for
this government to acquire foreign ter
ritory, except for coaling stations or for
some like purpose unless its intention
was to confer statehood upon the terri
tory and citizenship upon its inhabi-
tants. Mr.. Vest declared that it was
Basic Principle of This Government
that the powers of the government were
derived from the consent of the gov
erned and maintained that the federal
government had no authority, either in
morals or in the constitution, to go be-
yond that principle. He held that the
principle had been sustained by the SUI
prerne court in various decisions and
that no public man of prominence and
no recognized tribunal had ever been
reckless enough to controvert it.
Mr.. Platt (Rep., Conn., took issue
with Mr.. Vest and announced that at
some convenient time in the near future
he would offer some remarks upon the
resolution, in the course of which he
would endeavor to show that the
Missouri Senator Was Wrong
in his Interpretation of the constitution
and inaccurate in his deductions from
the law.
Mr.. Morgan opened the debate on the
canal bill with 3-hour appeal for &C
ton at this session. The whole country,
he said, would be disappointed if con-
gross did not act. He was willing to
take any measure wnIcn wou1o result IN
the building of the canal. In the course
of his remarks he agreed to accept an
amendment specifically excepting the
canal from neutrality with regard to
any country with which the United
States might be at war.
