Deputies Pass Strong Resolution on
ChGrtreuSe Case.

Paris. July 12.-The Chamber of Deputies to-
day held runultuous session over the report
of the committee which has been investigating
the Chartreuse charges. The report said that
the charges Of attempted bribery were not sus-
tanned. and expressed regret that the Premier.
N Combes, had made such charges. This decla-
ration aroused violent opposition the part of
the friends of the Premier
a noisy debate ensued in which the President
Of the Chamber censured a number Of deputies
for disorderly conduct. NJ. de Baudry d'Asson
Conservative, sought to place a mock crown of
laurel upon NJ Combes as the Premier was
Withdrawing from the Chamber.
The Chamber adopted by a large majority a
resolution declaring that the Premier and gov
eminent were above suspicion, and unanimously
adopted a clause of resolution denouncing the
calunniators. The effect OF the votes is the re-
lection of the report OF the investigating COM
mtttee.
The large Con1bes majority terminates the
rumOrs that the investigation might lead TO his
retirement from the premiership.

NO GREAT DELIGHT IN ENGLAND.
News of Treaty a Disappointment in Many
Quarters

London July 13--The announcement that an
arbitration treaty between Germany and CIrea
Britain vas signed yesterday comes as a com
plete and not altogether pleasant surprise TO the
English press and public. 1t was against Just
such agreement that The Spectator" and
other powerful organs urged the government
prior TO King Edwards visit to Emperor Will
lam at Kiel- BY the papers which echoed that
warning the news OF the signing OF the arbItra-
ton treaty Is swallowed either with palpable
dislike or with unconceaIed disappointment
The only whole souled appreciation comes.
curiously enough. from Opposition papers The
Daily News the governments most bitter op-
pouent. warmly congratulates King Edward
upon his latest achievement. The Daily Chrou-
icIe," Liberal and The Morning Leader" follow
suit while such Stauch rnouthplece OF the gov
eminent as The Daily Telegraph" devotes half
or its editorial this subject to expression OF
the belief that the Anglo-German treaty cannot
compare in Importance with the convention con-
cluded with France.
A similar method of evading criticism is pur-
sued by The Standard" but The Morning
Post" frankly deserts the government. charac-
terizing Lord Transformers latest diplomatic
stroke "a policy OF unsettled convictions and
Of promiscuous amlablity."
The Daily MaiP' and other papers accentuate
the fact that the agreement is very limited in
scope. and deals with minor matters. The Daily
Mali declares that there unhappiIy is no ind-
cation whatever on the part of Germany Of such
amicabe disposition S exhibited by France. -
and adds that only il the German naval pro-
gramme was reduced could both governments he
congratulated upon the latest arrangement
An especial point is given 10 the editorial
stress upon the priority Of the Anglo-French
agreement, by the fact that at almost the mo-
ment when Lord Lansdowne and Count Wolff
AetJernlch We're signing the document at the
Foreign Office, NJ. CamDOn. the French AulbaS-
sador to Great Britain, was laying the last stone
Of the pier at FOlkestone There the French

OF the two nations created by the Anglo French
Treaty. These expressions used with much
effect IN the editorials Of the government or
gans, in order 10 Offset the fear-not expressed
except by The Morning Post"-that the French
public may entertain, in view Of the present
development. grave doubts OF British sincerity
