PARIS RIOTING

A FRESH OUTBREAK POLICE FIRE ON MOB Press Association.— By Telegraph —Copyright. PARIS,. February 6. (Received February 7, at 1.10 p.ra.) Violent rioting broke out in the evening in the Place De La Concorde, the Rue De Rivoli, and other important streets. The crowd set fire to the Alinistry of Alarine, but firemen extinguished the flames within half an hour. Alobile police . fired several volleys and are reported to have killed two demonstrators, including a woman. Alany were injured. With the Chamber of Deputies surrounded by police and mounted guards, and with thousands of troops hidden at strategic points in courtyards and neighbouring public buildings, the Chamber began a sitting which was to end with Parliament buildings in a state of siege, the sounds of police volleys penetrating the walls. AI. Daladier faced one of the stormiest sessions in the history of the Chamber. The sitting was marked by a continual series of boos, catcalls, free fights, and disorders. They were so great that the sitting was twice suspended. AI. Daladier began reading a Ministerial declaration. Within ten minutes .pandemonium arose, necessitating suspension. When the sitting resumed AI- Daladier proposed that the debate should he shortened by limiting the Opposition interpellations to four, which was made a question of confidence, on which the Government was successful by 300 votes to 21 1. AI. Daladier, amid the hoping of the Right, recommenced the Ministerial declaration. He continued amid jeers and guffaws. When he declared that full light would be thrown on the Staviaky case the deputies of the Right and Left stood up, shouting at each other. When he referred to reform of the personnel he was greeted by shouts of “ Comedie Francaise,” while the Communists banged their desks and shouted “ Soviet.”
