Wild Disorder Prevailed.

The minister of justice, who had taken the tribune, was unable to proceed against the tumult and quitting the tribune, re- sumed his plaes on the ministerial bench. The group of ministers now became the center or an angry demonstration. M. Syvton, a nationalist member, made his way towards the ministers and addressed them with angry imprecations Friends of the ministers and members of the left precipitated themselves into the space before the tribune towards M. Syvton, end the latter was soon seconded by scores of deputies fIom the right The two angry elements surged back and fcrth, exchanging blows with clenched fists, and for several minutes this scene of riotous confusion continued. Premier Combes at iast separated himself from his ministerial colleagues and mounted the tribune in the hope that he would be able to read decree of the government suspending the session, but Deputy Cout- ant already held the tribune and refused to vacate it. The premier applied to President Bourgeois, who ordered M Coutant to descend, but the latter again refused. M. Combes withdrew and four gusrds were summoned to conduct M Coutant from the tribune.
 In the meantime the disorderly scenes on the floor continued, many members of the chamber seeking to gain the tribune Finding 1t impossible to restore order President Bourgeois declared recess.
 Refused to Withdraw Word.
 After a recess of fifteen minutes the session was resumed and the president of the chambed called on M. Syvton and M. Coutant to apologize for their con- duct. M Coutant made the first re- sponse, declaring that he withdrew not a word of what he has said and the dis order again broke out, but was quickly quelled. President Bourgeois then asked the chamber to act, and an order of cen- sure was adopted with temporary expul- sion, all the members of the left and a portion of the center party voting for the order. As Deputy Coutant remained in his place, the usual formalities of ex- pulsion by force were adopted, and Col onel Teissyre. commandant of the mili- tary at the Palais Bourbon, with pla- toon of colonial infantry, was summoned. The soldiers marched Into the chamber and Deputy Coutant was escorted out amid derisive cries from the government supporters and the cheers of his friends.
 M. Syvton also declined to make a re- traction, declaring that Minister Valles was the aggresor and stating that he had sent his second to the minister President Bourgeois thereupon referred the depu- tvs case to the chamber. which voted censure, with temporary expulsion and the president requested M. Syvton to withdraw. This the latter refused to do, whereupon M. Bourgeois once more sus- pended the session temporarily, while the military contingent again marched into the chamber and escorted Deputy Syvton out amii cheers and groans.
 Order was now fairly re-established and the minister of justice mounted the tri- bune to finish his interrupted speech, in which he defended the governments course in the Humbert affair, declaring that all that was possible for the gov ernment to do in the matter had been done.
 Following this the chamber, by a de- cisiye majority of 336 votes to 136, adopt ed an order of the day, expressing conf- dence in the government. The decree closing the session for the recess was then read.
 The seconds of M. Syvton and M. valles will make final arrangements for a meet ing of their principals on Monday
