FRENCH POLITICS.
M. FLOQUET CHALLENGED
[by electric telegraph.—copyright]
Paris, January 15. A scene occurred to-day in the lobby of the Chamber, when M. Laur, a Deputy, accused M. Floquet of using secret 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.
