Show FRENCH PRINCES MAY STAY. j Clemeiiccnu's motion to Expel Them from Their Country is 'Lost. Pabis, March 5. Amid great excitement the Chamber of Deputies this afternoon rejected re-jected the motion for the immediate expulsion expul-sion of the French Princes from France, the vote against the measure being 345 to 176. The motion had been favored by an almost unani-nous vote at the conference party of j the Extreme Left, 1 j FOSTERED BY M. CLEMEN CEAU, j And by him advocated with great eloquence, j M. De Freycinet, Prime Minister, led the opposition. His argument was a cogent statement of reasons why such an extreme expedient was unnecessary at the present time. The proposed expulsions, declared M. De Freycinet, were needless after the elec- toral victories gained by the Republic. France, in the midst of a commercial and ; industrial depression in trade, will not be j remedied by the expulsion of the Princes, j Let us grapple with more pressing questions. ! FRANCE REQUIRES TO BE CALM NOW. M. Clemenceau, after this, hotly main- ' tained that the Princes were conspiring j against the Republic, and the Republic ; should expel them as a legitimate means of i defense. . j The House simply overwhelmed mm witn i its majority of 169. ' - ! M. Rivet's proposal to leave to the govern- , ment the initiative of the expulsion of the Princes, was rejected, 333 to 188. - An order of the day, exprcssins.confidence in the capacity of the government to deal with the question, was adopted, 353 to 112. |
