VOTES FOR WOMEN

IN FRANCE.

CHAMBER AGREES.

Paris, Fob, 21.

Startling changes in the French olectoral laws have been passed in the French Chamber the follow. ing innovations being decided on:

Vates for women.

The eligibility of women Parliament.

for

Election of deputies by direct majority vote (as in Britain).

Compulsory voting.

The Bill is designed to prevaût the second ballots which now take place in elections for the Chamber when there are more than two candidates and no one of them ob- tains more than half the votea cant. It provides that any candi- date who at the first poll receiveh a majority of votes will be elected --thus following the English -

tatu

The final discussion of the Bill was to have begun at 9 o'clock last night, but owing to the con- tinuous demand for divisions and, the number of questions of order which were put the debate did not start until 6 am. to-day.

All last night the majority and the minority played a virtual hide- and-neck, When division by name which requires a quorum; instead of a card vote was pro- posed by the Socialista, nil the Centre and Right members went away to the refreshment bar and ordered hot drinks, leaving to their opponents a vote which would be declared invalid owing to the lack of a quorum.

A Record "Vote."

One of these "votes" created a record. Neither the Socialists nor The Centre remembered what phase of the complicated system) of parliamentary obstruction hus arisen, so no one dared to vote at all.

Altogether, 25 divisions were held during the sitting.

This farce continued with more or less heated incidenta until mid- day. when the Socialists and Radicals, infuriated by the failure of their stratagems, marched out of the Chamber.

Meanwhile, obeying the Radical Executive, M: Malvy resigned his presidency of the Chamber Fin- ance Commission, a step designed to hinder the Government fro proceeding with the normal voting of the Bulget. This is taken as a sign of a fierce onslaught by the Opposition on the Cabinet.

The possibility of the new Bill becoming law depends mainly on the Senate, and it is doubtful whether it will be accepted by that mainly Radical Judy withat a struggle.
