Paris, October 20. M. Driaiid, tho Premier, in a brilliant speech, vindicating his action during tho recent strike, said tho Government was confronted by the peril of civil war. It did its duty, and continued to respect raihvaymen's interests as far as was compatible with tho public safety.

M. Briand declared that ho was determined to enlighten them regarding the anarchist methods by which, although unknown to the vast majority, tho men's cause was degraded.

Proceeding, the Prime Minister claimed that he possessed written proofs of an anarchical and insurrectionary engineering of the strike. The danger might recur, and therefore tho Government was considering measures to protect the country against such nefarious enterprises without impairing the essential liberties of tho people. Almost the whole House, cheered tho speech for several minutes. : The debate was adjourned until Thursday. ; ASSASSINATIONS THREATENED. 1 CHIE4? OF POLICE ATTACKED. Paris, October 25.
