UNEAsINEss AT PARIS.


PARIS, May 25.-As many as 5000 PEG.
pie went to the cemetery of Pere la Chaise
yesterday to attend the interment of the
revOlutionist Cournit. Not until the
throng were leaving the cemetery was
any attempt made by the police to inter-
fere with them. Then the police tried to
capture the red flag and TO dispense the
mob. In the melee which ensued Ser
geant was wounded with some long
pointed steel instrument.
sUMMONING THE GUARD.
The police were not equal to the de-
mands of the situation and had to
summon the Republican Guard to their
assistance. 1t is asserted that the Project
Of Police will publish a decree pro-
hibiting the use OF flags in public demon
stTations. The changed attitude Of the
government toward the Communists
causes serious uneasjness, and general ap-
prehension that a dangerous outbreak is
imminent prevails. The prevalent opin-
ion is that the Anarchists must he re-
pressed with a firm hand. The riOting on
Sunday was the most serious that has ocss
Cured since the days of the Commune.
The triumphant attitude assumed by
the revolutiOnists since the withdrawal
OF military and police opposition to
the Communist demonstration on Mon
day has provoked such a feeling among
the law and order classes that the affair,
1t is believed, will now lead to an import
ant debate in the Chambers. Many sup
pose that one result of this debate Will be
an attempt to overthrow the present Min
istry.
DEBATED BY THE DEPUTIES.
The Chamber of Deputies this evening,
after a long and stormy debate concern
a ha 10 h,|.r -fr>4~ Iarr I'D
the governments leniency towards the
Communists yesterday, voted confidence
in the government by tally of 3SS to 10.
The Ministry to-day discussed yesterdays
Communist riots and approved the Police
Projects ordinance forbidding hereafter a
public display in the Department of the
Seine of any emblems except the national
tri-c0lOr and the proper flags of foreign
nations. Four thousand men, including
members of the Municipal Council to-day
followed the coffin bearing the body of
Charles A. Mouroux, tue Communist
leader, to the grave in Pere la Chaise
Cemetery. There We're twelve oratiOns
delivered over the grave. The Revolu
zionist committees attending the funeral
displayed the red flag of the Commune in
the cemetery, and this emblem was
greeted with cries Of give la Commune"
La Journal deS DebntS blames the
to parade with red flags yesterday. and
urges the enactment of a law against the
public use of all emblemS of seditlon.
The French press generally condemn the
lndeclslOn OF the government in its con-
duct during the past few DAYS towards
the Communists. The Rev0lutionist Or
gans are jubilant over what they term the
triumph of the Communists over the au-
thOrities.
THE POLICE BLAMED.
In the Chamber of Deputies to-day NJ.
LacroiX interpellated the government with
reference to the occurrence at Pere la
Chaise cemetery Sunday. He accused
the police of provoking the disorders. He
denied the right of the government to in
terfere with the display of red flags on the
ground that the law relating to seditiOus
emblems has not been passed.
Allan large, Minister of the Interior,
replied, accepting all responsibility for
the action of the police. He said that
even though some uncertainty might ex-
ist regarding the definition of seditiOus
emblems it was the duty OF the govern
mentt To preserve order and 10 prevent dis,
play of emblems calculated to incite civil
war; He did not cOntound the democracy
of Paris with the minority of Anarchist
agltators who provoked disorder and at
tackled the police, who were compelled to
defend themselves. The police, he de-
clared, had acted as veritable defenders
of the law.
NJ. lie Ltevre urged the government to
redouble its efforts to prevent display
of red flags and banners.
NJ. LacroiX's motion declaring that no
law existed preventing the display of
flags and emblems, and condemning the
action Of the police on Sunday was re-
jected by vote of 432 to A.
NJ. Casimir Periere then offered the mo-
tion expressing confidence in the frmness
of the government in enforcing respect
for the national flag. The motion, as
already stated, was adopted by vote of
3SS to 10.
NJ. TARGE FAINTS.
After the announcement of the vote of
confidence Allan large tainted away
and had to be carried out Of the Chamber.
La France, referring to the communistic
disturbance, says that it has been disa-
greeable event, but Will speedily blow
over. 1t declares that the Anarchists are
neither strong nor numerous enough to
gain anything by the movement, and that
neither the property nor security of
peaceable citizens is threatened by a con-
flict.
