 Paris, June 5.-Scenes of almost un-
 paralleed disorder and violence char
 aeterized the session of the chamber of
 deputies to-day. The session commence
 ed at ? D. m. and M. Laloge, independ
 ent socialist, quickly moved an interpel- lation of the government regarding the disturbances Sunday at the Auteuil
 races. The trouble in the chamber
 started when M. Rious de Largentaye,
 conservative, representing the seventh
 division of Dinan, Cotes Du Nord,
 shouted, "Loubet Is not honest; he Is a
 Panamist." These statements called l forth violent protests and shouts of "Order!" but M. de Largentaye per
 sisted, in spite of the uproar and boot
 ing, in declaring that honest men were
 arrested yesterday. This was followed with shouts of Down with Loubet!"
 and a wild excitement ensued. The Leftists shouted at the top of their
 voices, 'Censure with temporary eXclu-
 sion' President Deschanel ordered M.
 de Largentaye to withdraw, but the lat ter refused and the session was suspend
 ed, the deputies being requested to withdraw in order that M. de Largen-
 taye be expelled. The commanding offi- cer on duty at the Palais Bourbon then
 entered the chamber of deputies with a
 squad of soldiers and requested M. de Largentaye to withdraw. The latter waited until many of his colleagues had left the house and then rose and walked out escorted by the soldiers There was cheering and counter-cheering when M. de Largentaye appeared In the cor rdors The sitting was then resumed.
 NJ. Laloge asked what measures the government intended to take in the fu- ture, and the premier replied that after yesterdays incidents his first step was to address a respectful greeting to the 1 nations elect and to the firm citizen who was and who remains the guaran- | ty of republican communion" (Cheers) | Continuing, the premier said that yes terday at Auteuil "the advance guard l of the reactonary party protested | against him and called for his resigna- tion," and proceeded to enlarge upon ! "the coarseness of such demonstration | against an invited guest" (Cheers)
 The premier then said: The repre- sentatives of elegance and good taste have given us an idea of what France may expect from their likeness and in dolence. We know secret meetings had taken place and that preparations were made for demonstrations. We took measures for the presidents protection in driving to and from the race course, and nothing occurred on the way--
 Here a royalist deputy cried You hid him" M Dupuy retorted; NO, but your friends hid behind the wo- men," Protests from the Rightists fol- lowed and M. Lasies, ant-Semite, cried "Loubet and Delcasse (the minister or foreign affairs) hid behind policemen This statement was followed by an up- roar lasting several minutes.
 When comparative quiet had been re- stored M Dupuy said: We stationed police at the paddock with orders to in- tervene immediately in case of dem onstration, and they did so, though they met with much opposition and protests, l assume all responsibility,
 You have the evil eye," cried M. TIasies, a remark which caused laugh- ter
 M Dupuy continued: "All the po- ice did their duty An individual threw himself on the president of the republic who remained quite calm. The pro- ,eedings at Auteuil were all the more disgusting because they occurred in the of foreign representatives. The persons who have been arrested will oe examined by magistrate, who will decide whether there was conspiracy. We are satisfied the accused are mem- oers of clubs which the government las decided to close. Yesterdays dem- , ,nstrators pretend to represent France n the army, but the public was against , hem We are supporters of the re- , public and republicans who do not mix I with those who only borrowed the name f II order to better destroy her. You lave given us countersgn we intend 0 uphold. If you give us your conti- Ience we shall know how to defend our institutions from those who attack hem" (Applause) Here M Decassagnac, conservative, q "The country is sick of the epublic. As to the affair which has ivided the nation and the families it will yet weigh heavily against you. The tories current in regard to the meas Il res you propose against the gener- Is are outrageous"
 "A certain amount of courage" ex- laimed the premier, lis required to do A that we propose"
 ITO drag before high court" re- ! lrted M Cavaignac (he former minis U ar of war) your former colleagues. ou have cause to close the clubs, for ne action is awakening and is only the right man." (Applause) tt After further debate M. Moline, and T is supporters moved the order of the l u ay. approving of the governments 8 &C., W OH. O.
