hoisted umbrellas, and displayed fans bordered with
feathers. Thus armed for a pacific demonstration,
they promenaded the streets. When passing opposite
the house of M. Mayan°, who was Minister when the
obnoxious law was presented to the Cortes, they
uttered some cries. An anonymous letter had been
written to the Minister of Public Instruction, invit-
ing him to attend the funeral of the law in question.
In the course of their walk the law students called
upon the medical students, and invited their
fraternization, but, being ill received, they re-
tired. Of two students arrested one is the son of an ex-
Minister and Senator, and the other a student in his
fourth year. Both are in the Salader's prison, but the
first is in a room by bimpelf, while the other is compelled
to assoc!ate with ordinary criminals. On the 2d the
