PARIS, May 2S.--As many a. eight
thousand people went to the cemetery
Of Pere La Chsise 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 interfere with
them. Then the police tried to cap
ture the red flag and to dispense the
mob. In the melee which ensued a
sergeant was wounded with some long,
pointed steel instrument. The police
were not equal to the demands Of the
situation, and had to summon the Re-
publican Guard to their assistance. IL
is asserted that the project Of police
will to-day publish decree prohibit
ing the use Of flags in public demon
STATIONS. The changed attitude Of the
Government toward the Communists
causes serious uneasiness, and q gen.
eral apprehension that dangerous out
break is imminent prevails. The preya-
lent opinion is that the Anarchists must
be repressed with firm hand. The
rioting on Sunday WAS the most serious
that has occurred since the days Of the
Commune.
PARIS, May 26.-The triumphant
attitude assumed by the Revolutionists
since the withdrawal Of the military
and the police opposition to the Com
munist demonstration on Monday has
provoked such bitter feeling among the
law-snd-order classes that the affair, it
is believed, will now lead to an impor-
tant debate in the Chamber Of Depu-
ties. Many suppose that one result Of
this debate will be an attempt to over
throw the present Ministry.
THE FRENCH CHAMBER VOTES CON-
FIDENCE IN THE GOVERNMENT.
PARIS, May 26.-The Chamber Of
Deputies this evening, after long and
stormy debate concerning the Pere La
Chaise riots Sunday and the Govern
ment's leniency towards the Commun-
lists yesterday, voted confidence in the
Government by a tally Of 1888 to 10.
The Ministry to-day discussed yester-
days Communist riots, and approved
the police projects ordinance forbidding
hereafter the public display in the De-
partment Of the Seine Of any emblems
except the national tri-color and proper
flags of foreign nations.
Four thousand men, including men,
bers of the Municipal Council, to-day
followed the coffin bearing the body OF
Charles A. Monsoux, the Communist
leader, to his grave in Pere La Chaise
cemetery. There were 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 "Vive La Com
mune.'
THE FRENCH PRESS CONDEMN THE
THE GOVERNMENT.
PARIS, May 26.-The Journal Des
DeJdts blames the Government for al
lowing the Communists to parade with
red flags yesterday, and urges the en-
actment of law against the public use
Of all emblems Of sedition. The French
press generally condemn the INDIGESTION
Of the Government in its conduct du-
ring the past few days towards the
Communists. The Revolutionist or
gans are jubilant over what they term
the triumph of the Communists over
the authorities.
THE POLICE CHARGED WITH PRO-
vOKING THE DISORDERS.
PARIS, May 26.-In the Chamber of
Deputies to-day VI. La Croix interpret
lated the Government with reference to
the occurrence at Pere La Chaise GENE
terry Sunday. He accused the police of
provoking disorders. He denied the
right of the Government to interfere
with the display of red flags on the
ground that the law relating to sedi-
tious emblems has not been passed.
Allan Fargo, the Minister Of the In
terror, replied, accepting all response
bility for the action of the police. lie
said that even though some uncertainty
might exist regarding the definition Of
the seditious emblem, it was the duty
Of the Government to preserve order
and to prevent display Of emblcms
calculated to incite civil war. He did
not confound the Democracy OF Paris
with the minority of the Anarchist
agitators who provoked the disorder
and attacked the police, who were
compelled to defend themselves. The
police, he declared, had acted as yerita-
bic defenders Of the law.
NJ. lie Lievre urged the Government
to redouble its efforts to prevent the
display Of red flags and banners.
NJ. La Croix's motion declaring that
no law existed preventing the display
Of flags and emblems and condemning
the action of the police on Sunday was
rejected by vote Of 432 to a..
Cassimer Periere then offered a mo-
ton expressing confidence in the firm
ness of tho Government in enforcing re-
spect for the national flag.
The motion, as already stated, was
adopted by . vote Of 3S8 to 10.
