Paris, Dec. 30.--In the chamber of
deputies Monday during the debate on
the amendment to the budget pro-
posals adopted in the senate. Premier
Combes raised the question of conti-
dence In the government and obtained
a majority of 100.
The point at issue was the appro-
priation for the special service mag
istrates which was suppressed by the
chamber and restored by the senate.
Several deputies insisted that the
senate in restoring the appropriation.
had acted unconstitutionally as 1t had
not the authority under the constitu-
ton to propose fiscal expenditure.
Premier Combes cut short the debate
by declaring that he would not discuss
the constitutional question involve |.
He said that the appropriation was
essential and that If 1t We're not voted
he would tender his resignation.
The chamber then restored several
of the appropriations suppressed by
the senate and consequently the bua-
get Will go to the senate again.
