Chamber Of Deputies

St&UG8 III
Chamber Of Deputies
Brussels, June 30.-The rioting here
was continued Until 2 o'clock a. m, at
various points. The gendarmes charged
hercely several times on the Boulevard
Auspach and used ball cartridges on
the Grange Place. One rioter was
bayoneted and two reporters were Sc
riously injured. Sausepans and other
domestic implements were thrown
from windows, during the night at the
troops.
The Gazette says 100 persons have
been injured during the rioting, and
of this number eight were seriously
wounded.
At the opening of the chamber OF
deputies today a motion was introduce
ed amending The rules SO as to allow
expulsion Of any deputy causing a dis
turbance. ThN socialists vigorously
protested and NRlently mathematical
the mover NJ. Ae Lantshere, rightist,
defended the prol]osal, and delivered a
caustic indictment of the socialists,
who INTERRUPTED him by whistling,
hooting and banging their desks.
When quiet was restored the social
lists drew moving pictures of the vic
tins of the repression lying wounded
in the hospitals and demanded to know
who was responsible for such "~unjus-
tifiable horrors"
The premier replied: 1T is I who
caused the strength of the gendarmie
to be increased, or legal acquisitions
made before the repression COM
menced."
This statement drew forth a storm
Of invective and socialist cries Of
murderer"
Subsequently several of the deputies
appealed to the government to be con-
ciliatory, ~Whereupon the premier eX-
pressed the strongest desire for con-
Citation and said he was prepared to
seek means to that end The state
ment was greeted with applause, in
the midst Of which the session was
ended.
The socialists left the house together
and M. Van der Velde, after receiv-
ing the permission Of the police, ad-
dressed the crowd outside, informing
them of the ministerial statement and
exhorting the people to calmness. The
socialist deputies. were warmly cheer
ed by the crowd.
1t is believed the premier's declara-
ton will appease the public.
During the night bricks were hurled
at the windows of the premier's resi-
dence, the porter of which was hurt,
and blood was smeared on the pave
ment in front Of the house.
At a. meeting this evening convened
by M. Van der Velde, the Abbedaens,
Christian democrats, congratulated the
socialists on the success they had
achieved and predicted the advent of
universal suffrage. Two thousand per-
sons accompanied the speaker to a
train, singing the "Marseillaise." In
view of the pacific declarations in the
chamber that public meetings are now
permitted the liberal and socialist
papers declare that the government
has -c~apitulated.

Since 1893 the Lake Shore has been
going around with a chip on ats should

Gals have been smarting a little under
this banter, and it is now said that they

Another factor that will influence the
Pennsylvania to cut it's time is the mail
business. This road now has good
share of this business. but it wants
more of it; and the recent action of the
Lake Shore in eliminating two or three
hours from the time of its New York

Pennsylvania to action.
