FRENCH AMNESTY BiLL BEATEN.
Ioubet Grants Pardon to All Who Would
Have Benefteti.

Special Gable Dsspafch TO THE SUN.
PARIS July lS.-The amnesty bill failed
OF passage In the Chamber Of Deputies to-
day. The measure had been eagerly an
ticipated by the NationRlists, and several
OF them who are now In exile, including
Paul Ddroulede. would under Its provisions
have been enabled to return to France but
II was wrecked owing to the violent language
OF one Of themselves.
1t had already passed the Senate and
was only awaiting the Chambers approval
to become law. The final debate on the
bill was proceeding when NJ. Lasies objected
to the reptiles employed. by ex-Minister
Andre to spy upon their comrades" bene-
fting under 1t on the same footing az politi-
cal offenders, who had done nothing dis.
honorable.
He added that the marks left by Gen.
Andre on the history Of his time would
be traceable as a reptile ia traceable, by
venomous slime.
This caused the members OF the Left
to create an uproar. while the members Of
the Right cheered. Amid the hubbub
NJ. Berteaux. Minister OF War, cried that
after the odious words OF NJ Iasies he
would no longer support the bill. He
thereupon left the chamber. Many Of the
Ministerialists followed him into the lobby
cheering their approval Of his course.
Finally the sitting was suspended. Prime
Minister Rouvier consulted with the other
Ministers and their supporters and found
that the words OF NJ. Lasies had stung 30
deeply that ma jority Of the Republicans
refused to support the bill. Accordingly
when the sitting was resumed NJ Rouvier
went to the tribune and, without referring
to the incident, read Presidential decree
declaring the session closed This auto
matically postponed the bill indefinitely
and greatly incensed the Nationalist and
Royalists. who had been preparing demon
stration to welcome Deroulede and his fell
low exiles.
Later the Cabinet was summoned and de-
cided upon a compromise. 1t was resolved
to ask President Loubet to pardon those
who would have benefited from the bill.
This was done, but although this course
will have practically the same effect "a the
bill IL IL doubtful whether the Nattonalists
will accept q pardon, because under It their
convictions remain on record instead OF
being effaced.
Senators Delpache and Prevet fought
duel to-day to settle quarrel arising from
the Amnesty bill when that measure was
before the Senate. M. Prevet was slightly
wounded in the wrist.

Whatever the Household CustOn


City Court Justice Delehanty denied
yesterday the application made by counsel
for Stuyvesant Fish for a new trial Of the
suit brought against him by A. Jaeckel
4 Co., in which verdict for 81 500 was
rendered against Mr.. Fish, representing
the value Of four sable skins furnished to
Mrs. Fish.
Mr.. Fish set up that no was not responsible
for the debts incurred by his wife, as she had
a private income and he did not pay for
anything that she bought for her personal
use. Justice Delehanty says that this de-
tense is untenable, as 1t is elementary in
law that a husband Is bound to furnish
his wife with clothing suitable to his and
her station in life, and the mere fact that he
does not do 30 does not relieve him OF the
legal obligation to pay any debts incurred
by his wife for the purpose Of clothing
herself suitably.
To offset such liability. Justice Dele
hanty says, it would have been necessary
that in the agreement to buy the furs there
should have been Incorporated an express
clause that the transaction was made solely
upon tho wife's credit, and that Mr.. Fish
was expressly exoneratcd from any liability.
