ANY WAY REVOLUTIONARY
VOTE SUPPORTS GOVERNMENT

Duel.


bate in the chamber of deputies to-
day NJ. Bedouce denounced as a mere
pretext NJ. Clemenceau' intimation
that the wine growers movement was
inspired by the reactionists, or was
in any way revolutionary. He in
sisted it was a peaceful effort to OBJ
tain redress for wrongs and avoid
starvation until the premier mobi-
lized four army corps to suppress it.
Amid jeers from one side of the
chamber and applause from the other
NJ. Bedouce continued, growing more
and more violent as he proceeded.
Turning to M. Clemenceau he shout
ed:
You have turned the republican
cathedral you promised into a char
nal house.
In conclusion he appealed to the
chamber to do something to console
and heal the south, adding:
IF you do so the socialists will
follow you in the march of progress
under a surer guide than Clemen-
ceau
M. Meunier. socialist, who fol-
lowed, promised to continue to sup
port the government if Clemenceau
satisfactorily explained the mutiny
of the battalion of the Seventeenth
regiment of infantry at Agde, and
his interview with Marcelin Albert,
leader of the wine growers. M. Meu-
nier complained of the governments
postponement of the bill providing
for the abolition of courts martial in
time of peace.
M. Aldy, radical socialist, who
made a personal investigation of the
rioting, charged that the gendarmes
and cuirassiers fired first and with
out warning upon the people. He
then read detailed accounts of how
men, women and children were shot,
denying that the crowds had used
firearms.
When Clemenceau defed him to
prove several of his statements, M.
Aldy caused a sensation by declar-
ing he held reports from officers to
prove that what he said was true,
and if challenged to do so he would
produce them, adding:
I'VE must decide whether we shall
longer submit to the fantasies of
those who govern us. The statement
called forth applause from the
right When M. Aldy had finished,
vi. Clell6HCGdu Sdlu'
'"rhese statements render an in
vestigation imperative. Throughout
| have been animated by the spirit
of conciliation, but when the munich
palities adopt I'm illegal attitude, the
government has no alternative eX-
ccpt to use force.
THE laws were made for every
body. Everybody must pay taxes.
The poor peasants of the north, east,
and center are ready to pay more
for their sugar in order to help the
population of the south, where mis-
cry is not general, as was proved
by the accounts in the savings banks.
The truth is that we face revolt.
M. Clemenceau recalled the warn
ings he had issued to the soldiers not
to fire except at the last extreme, and
concluded to thunders of applause:
Our fathers amid convulsions to
which the present incidents are most
trifling, built upon foundation of
rock and at the same time gave lib
erty to mankind, and the French ma
tion will uphold them"
During the vote M. Bedouce and
another deputy came to blows. They
were pulled apart by ushers. The
alteration may result in duel.
Paris, June 28.-The government
received a majority of 21 on vote
