Special to The MORNING CALI.

PARIS. July s.-Everything was quiet in
the city this morning. 1t is believed the
strong measures of the Government are
having their proper effect in the restora-
tion of order. Two hundred rioters were
arrested last night.
1t Is a significant fact that the disorders
are now onfned to the north side of the
Seine and no trouble is occurring in the
Latin quarter. Not a single stud de Mt
and but few genuine workmen wer e
to be seen In the crowd last evening,
which was composed almost solely of the
dregs Of society from Lavile. Belleville
and Montmartre. which are so conveniently
near the Place de la Republique. This was
strikingly shown when two ruffians stopped
a cab and attem pied to overturn it in order
to form the nucleus of a barricade across
the boulevard Richard Lenoir. A mum Der
of workmen seized them and handed the
ringleader over to the police after severe ly
thrashing him.
The anarchists have issued a manifesto
summoning a meeting in honor Of the
anniversary of R,vachops execution for
to morrow in front of the monument 10
Diderot. whom they describe as the illns-
tIlOuS precursor OF RnVacn0l
The authorities. however. are fully pre-
pared, and the meeting will be dispersed
with rigorous hand.
The damage to trees, kiosks. vehicles,
etc., amounts to about 150 900 francs, with
out counting the loss in business to shOps
nd1cafes compelled to close.
The Government was violently attacked
In the Cham ber o t Deputies to-day, but the
chamber voted confidence in the Ministry,
343 10 134. The attack grew out of the
course OF the Government in withdraw wing
trOops from the provinces for the suppress
sion of riots in Paris, the closing of the
Labor Exchange. etc.
The Municipal Council held stormy
meeting. M. Humbert. the president,
made bitter Ieech against the Govern
ment's action in closing the Labor Ex-
change. The Cabinet. he said, vas trying
to strengthen itself by pandering to reac-
tionaries. The people are not ready, he
declared, to see liberty throttled, and un-
less the Government reconslders its rash
action in shutting up the Labor Exchange
the protest of the people of Paris will be
strengthened by the laboring millions
throughout the republic.
Other mem bers Of the Council spoke
still more strongly against the Govern
ment. The Prefect Of Police replied
briefly that as soon as the trades unions
showed disposition to obey the laws the
Government would meet them more than
halfway and allow the exchange to be re.
opened.
Among the siRners of the Municipal
Councils protest against the closing of the
Labor Exchange is NJ. Fioquet, ex-Presi-
dent OF the Chamber Of Deputies.
NEW YORK. July 8.-Smalley ca ables the
following to the Tribune from London:
A good deal has been said about rioting
Ia Paris, but for Paris IL has not really
been very serious. 1t sounds rather like the
prelude to something to come. as in 1S48 the
18th of May was the prelude to the days of
June. But there are interesting points.
M. Dupuy has shown more courage and
character than he has heretofore had credit
for.
1t was a bold act. as we'll as wise one,
to close the Labor Exchange, which has
become mere center Of socialist and an
archst intrigue and disorder. 1t was q
bold act to tell the Chamber he would not
discuss the riots till order had been restored.
1t was bold to call out the troops, since the
mob and their friends In the Chamber all
ways say they are going to be massacred.
It will be weak act il he sacrifices Lozs.
