VOTES CREDIT FOR HAGUE COURT.
French Chamber Declines to Consent to De-
lay in the Matter.

Paris. Jan 29.-The Chamber of Deputies to-
day discussed the budget of foreign affairs
Baron d d'Estournelles de Constant, Republican.
criticised the omission of a credit for the ex-
penses of The Hague international Court Of
Arbitration, and Foraign Minister Delcasse re-
piled that it the sincere desire of the gov
eminent not to permit that tribunal to lapse
from disuse. 1t already had given evidence of
its support of the principle of arbitration by
referring to it the controversy with Guatemala.
The minister pledged the government to bring in
credit later when the actual expenses of the
court were known.
Baron d dEstournelles insisted that a credit be
granted without delay and other Deputies sup
ported the motion, which finally accepted
by NJ. DeIcasse, and 81 600 was voted for the ex-
penses of the court.
a motion of NJ Sembat, Socialist, providing
Tor the suppression of the French Embassy TO
the Vatican, after being opposed by NJ. Del
casse as premature during the existence of the
concordat, was defeated by 325 to 215 votes,
NJ. Dejante, Socialist, proposed the suppress
sion Of the appropriations for the French edu-
catfonaI establishments in the East and Far
East, the ground that these institutions were
mainly in the hands of religious congregations
which were hostile to the republic. In the
course Of his remarks the speaker recalled the
report drawn up by General Voyron, dealing
with the conduct of the missionaries In China.
Minister Delcasse replied, urging the Cham
Der, in view of the interests at stake, not to ac-
cept the amendment. He had always done his
best, he said, in favor of lay educational work
in the East, but France was now subsidizing
three hundred schools which were the property
of the missions. and to replace these by lay
schools would cost millions of francs
The House then rejected NJ Dejeante's pro
posal and adopted resolution, which was &C
cepted by NJ. Delcasse, calling the govern
rnent to give a larger share than heretofore of
the credits for the Eastern missions to the lay
establishments.
The remaining clauses of the foreign budget
were then adopted, and the Chamber adjourned
