! republican idea, but, he added. tho
electors OF the provinces had acclaim
cd the republic. Where the Republi-
cans had been beaten, he asserted.
their defeat was due to the alliance Of
a certain section of the Republicans
with the opposition. He concluded
by saying the government would ask
the chamber to vote a law providing
protection against caluminators of the
chief OF state and a law dealing with
religious associations, whose vested
properties could not be allowed to
swell in order TO furnish the adver-
saries Of the republic with their war
funds. The governments program, he
further announced, included laws for
education, direct taxation and work.
insmen's pensions, adding that If the
program did not secure a majority he
would leave to his successor the work
OF seeking its realization.
M. Ribot, Republican, former pre-
mier, replied to NJ. Waldeck-Roussea
declaring the municipal elections were
a success for the Republicans. but not
for the government. He then proposed
the simple order Of the day. which
NJ. Waldeck-Rousseau refused to ac-
cept and which the chamber rejected
by POS to 249 votes.
The premier then announced that he
would accept the order of the day pro-
posed by M. Gouzy, couched as fol-
lows:
"The chamber is resolved to ener-
getioally pursue a policy of reforms
and the defense of the republic and
laity and approves of the dacIa raffons
OF the government"
The first portion, up to "laity." was
adopted by a vote of 439 to Sc and the
second and crucial portion was adopt-
ed by 271 to 226 votes.
Several resolutions dealing with the
threatened revival Of the Dreyfus AZ
fair were submitted. One, introduced
by M. Gustave Chapuis. Radical. in
vited the government vigorously to op-
pose a renewal Of the Dreyfus agita-
ton. This gave rise to some debate.
NJ. Waldeck-Rousseau then repeated
his declaration that the government
was determined to end a campaign that
was disastrous to the country and to
republican government. He said the
ministerial amnesty law now before
the senate was destined to bring about
appeasement, but that there was no

ing that the government had been IAN
accompllce in the miserable work
which consists in playing the game OF
the enemies of France"
The president Of the chamber an
pealed TO deputies to be calm. saving
that NJ. Humbert could not have meant
literally what he said.
NJ. Waldeck-Rousseau interviewed
declaring that the government wished
20 record a formal indignant protest
against the allegation of M. Humbert.
When order was restored the presi-
dent OF the chamber submitted the
resolution Of NJ Chapuis. with an ad-
dition proposed by Camille Krantz. Re-
publican in these words:
And no longer allow detectives To
place themselves at the service OF
private interests"
M. Waldeck-Rousseau Indignantly
refused to accept the addition. saving
that he refused not merely because the
addition implied mistrust, but because
It was a personal insult, as It implied
that he allowed his subordinates to be-
tray their duty.
The motion Of NJ. Chapuis, without
the proposed addition, was adopted BY

THE DEPUTIES SUSTAIN
THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT

Paris, May 2S.-The chamber OF
deputies, by three successive votes,
yesterday declared its confidence in the
government. The chamber was crowd
ed and ak the cabinet ministers were
present. Paul Couzy, Radical Socialist
interpellated the government on its
general policy. The premier, NJ. Wal
deck-Rousseau, accepted the interpret
lation and asked for it's immediate dis
cussion.
M. Gouzy pointed out the overwhelm-
Ing majority recently cast for the gov
ernment throughout France, except in
Paris, at the municipal elections, and
said the present was an opportune mo-
ment for the chamber to endorse this
support Of the ministry, who should
inform the chamber what they intend
ed to do in response to this republic
can demonstration.
Paul de Cassagnac, Conservative,
followed, with a speech strongly at
tacking the government, but he said
he did not desire the ministry's fall be-
cause its policy was having the result
Of disgusting the country with the re-
public. The latter statement evoked
a protest from the Nationalist benches.
