Floquet of using seoret service money in order to defeat General Boulanger, who is a candidate for the Department of the Seine. The Premier indignantly denied the accusation, declaring it to be an infamous calumny: thereupon M. Laur challenged M. Floquet to fight a duel, but the Premier declined, insisting that M. Laur should substantiate the charge he had preferred against the Government.
