PREMIER AND COLLEAGUES FACE
DEPUTIES.
(Australian-New Zealand Cable Assn.) LONDON, 28th July. The sitting of the French Ohambei opened very stormily. The spectacle of M. Herriot on the front bench between M. Poincare and M. Briand was more than the extreme members of the Left could stand. They cheered derisively, this bursting into an uproar when M. Raoul Poret, in a speech acknowledging his election to the Presidoncy of the Chamber, alluded to the brilliant qualities of his predecessor. The storm broke out afresh when M. Poineare mountod the rostrum. The Communists roso in a body and sang the "Internationale," which the rest of the members of the Chamber tried to drown with choors. M. Perct produced his tall hat as a signal of his intention to suspend the sitting, which thereafter calmed down, though M. Poincare was frequently interrupted.
