At Paris tho government was defeated, Tuesday, in the Chamber of Deputies, on the question as to whether th > Minister of Public Works had the authority to allow the employes wf the state railroads to attend the congress of railroad men. Tho Premier, M. Casimer-Perier, demanded the adoption of the order of the day, pure and simple. The Premier's motion was rejected by a vote of 275 to 215, M. Casi-mer-Perier thereupon left the the Palais Bourbon, and tho Ministers subsequently proceeded to the Elysce Palace and handed in their resignations to President Carnot. Previous to the defeat the Socialist Deputy, M. Jules Guesde, moved that eight hours be constituted a legal day’s work for all working people throughout France and demanded urgency for the motion, amid loud cheers and encouraging cries from the Socialists. M. Guesde declared that the time was ripe for the reform urgently demanded bv the workingmen. These remarks called forth violent interruption* from the members of the Center, wbp abused the Socialists. The latter replied in warm terms, and the disturbance becamo so great that the President of the Chamber was compelled to intervene and with difficulty he succeeded in restoring order.
