In the French Chamber of Deputies on Monday M. Clemenceau

was interpellated for the first. time during his two years of office on his domestic policy. M. Jaures complained that the Government did not make any serious progress with their programme, and M. Clemenceau very justly answered that they would have a better chance if M. Jaures would not put so many interpella- Hone. The Times correspondent remarks that out of two hundred and fifty-seven Parliamentary days, about seventy have been occupied by interpellations, to the detriment of business. M. Clemenceau's whole speech, as the Times correspondent says, was a development of the retort: Vous avez pane, nous awns agi.
