ON VERGE OF REVOLUTION
Wild Scene In the French Chamber OF
Deputies During Debate on Recent
Railroad Strike.

Paris.-The debate on the railway
been bitterly attacked In the chamber
Of deputies, by the Socialists. took a
new and dramatic turn Saturday
night. During the session, which was
not only the most violent in the his
tory of the French parliament, but
rivaled in disorder and turbulence the
sessions of the national convention
under the French revolution. Premier
BRAND himself was the pivot on
which the drama turned, and the
general verdict is that certain govern
ment victory has been changed into
possible defeat.
Smarting under the repeated at.
lacks of NJ. Juares, the leader of the
Socialists, and others, the premier
leaped to his feet and. defending the
cabinets suppression of the strike as
a revolutionary outbreak, exclaimed :
IF the actual laws had been insult
ficient. we would not have hesitated
to resort even to illegality for the pur.
pose of preserving the fatherland.'
An uproar followed these words
The Socialists jumped up and were
joined by a number of Radicals. With
shouts of anger they moved toward
the tribune, crying, Resign! Dictator
resign!"
Desks were banked and the cham
Der was a perfect bedlam with the
noise of shouts and cheers. One SO
cialist tried to fight his way to the
tribune to strike BRAND.
Throughout 1t all the premier stood
calm and dignified, and for three-quar
ters of an hour waited patiently, but
vainly, to make himself heard. Final
! ly. NJ. Brisson, president of the cham
Der. amid cries and imprecations from
the Socialists, adjourned the debate.
