' EXCITING scenes III CHAMBER or DEPUTIES. Cavaignac Said to Have Higher~ Aims, PARIS, Feb. 9.-—It was rumored late last night that the Cabinet had resolved to resign and to recommend to President Carnot that he summon M. Cavaignac to form a Ministry. ‘ Inquiry at authoritative sources elicited neither confirmation or denial. Should Cavaign'ac‘ consent to form a Ministry he would probably select as colleagues men who are not in the present Ministry. It is believed, however, that Cavaignac’s ambition is to succeed Carnot end that he,would refuse the Premiership. An hour before the Chamber of Depu~ ties met yesterday the report was abroad that Emile Goussot, Boulangist Deputy for the Seine, would interpellate the Gov< ernment as to the acquittal by the Cham- ber of Indictments of Deputy Rouvier and Senators Doves, Grevy and Renault. As the time for opening approached mem- bers hurried to their seats and visitors packed the galleries. The session began amid an indescrib- able babel of shouts, jeers and cheers. Few knew what was happening until M. Goussot ascended the Speakers’ tribune. He directed his attack principally against M. Rouvier. As Rouvier admitted he had received money from the Panama Company, it was the Government’s plain duty to see that he suffered the penalty. It was time to ask who was stopping the wheels of justice. M. Bourgeois, Minister of Justice, rec plied that it was an insult to accuse the Government of hindering the exposure of the Panama Company’s affairs. 1 The combat of words continued at some length until finally an adjournment wae taken.
