French Chamber of Deputies
Approves Declaration
CT Government.

| PARIS, Jan. 16.+Mueh excitement was
| caused in the Chamber OF Deputies this
afternoon by the fainting of NJ. de Bau-
dry d dAsson. While the member was
| speaking he fell from the tribune uncon-
scious. He was carried to an adjoining
room, where ne gradually recovered, and
later he returned to the chamber
The greater part of the sitting to-day
was devoted to the discussion of an in
terpellation on the Governments circular
forbidding the use of the Breton dialect
in preaching and catechis.ng in the
churches of Brittany. NJ. Lamy, Repub-
lican-Lfberal Deputy from Brittany, de-
| nounced the circular as vexatious and
tyrannicsL He said that more than 10000
inhabitants of Brittany could speak only
Breton.
ITO forbid the teaching of the cate
chism in Breton is to suppress the CathO-
lie religion in Brittany" ne said 1T is
also the suppression of the Breton dia-
lect, one of the most precious idioms OF
French which has place in the literary
history of the country"
Premier Combes defended the measure
as necessary. He said the priests ought
TO be auxiliaries to the teachers and aid
in the propa cation of the French Ian
guage. and that his circular only repro
duced a similar order issued by his pre-
decessor, Nj. Fallieres. In 1891, said NJ
| Combes, NJ. Waldeck-Rousseau forbade
the use of the Flemish language without
objection being raised to the measure
The Government could not allow the
priests Of Brittany to oppose the propaga-
ton of the national language.
1T would SEEM continued the Premier.
! according to certain Deputies. that the
inha btants Of Brittany were Bretons be-
/ fore they were Frenchmen"
This remark raised a storm of protests
a number OF Deputies shouting. You in.
suit us,'
! When order had been restored Premier
Combes concluded by asserting that he
would vigorously enforce the circular by
suppressing the salaries of priests who
disobeyed it.
| After some further discussion the
Chamber. by S49 TO 49, voted an order Of
| the day approving the declarations of the
| Government
That the Government is already enforc-
| ing its circular is proved by telegram
received from Brest this evening an
nouncing the suppression of the salaries
! OF thirty-one priests who persisted in the
! use of the Breton dialect. 1t Is said that
the Bishop of Quimper, Finisterre. has ad-
| vised the priests TO continue 10 preach in
