THE RIOTS CONTINUE.

Bave Taken Charge--The Police Enable
to do Anything.
PARIS, July 5.-The body Of Niger,
the young man who was killed during
the fighting between the police and the
students in the Latin quarter, was sent
TO the home Of his parents in Lyons to-
day. The authorities feared that the
rioters would take advantage of the
shipment of the body to cause further
troubles, and considerable secrecy was
observed 10 transferring the body from
the morgue to the Lyons railway sta
ton.
At all early hour this morning the
coffin containing the remains was placed
in hearse and taken to the station,
the route followed being through un-
freQueuted streets. The early risers
who saw the hearse paid little attention
to it beyond lifting their hats, in ae--
cordance with the custom Of saluting
the dead that prevails here. The stu
dents and their abettors in the rioting
did not know of the transfer, and there
fore no riotous demonstration occurred.
As the dawn broke, the rioters, hun
dreds of whom have no connection with
the students, gathered In the vicinity OF
the markets and restaurants and re-
newed the disturbances. Several con-
flicts occurred between the rioters on
one side and the police and soldiers on
the other. The crowd was composed Of
the riff-raff of the city, a majority being
men out of work and men who
never work. The fighting was
quite severe, and numbers on both
sides were injured. The affair has as
sumed such a serious aspect that the
authorities who at first imagined that 1t
was due entirely TO the efferVescence of
the more mischievous of the students,
have determined to restore order at any
cost The dIsorderly element in all
parts of the city took advantage Of the
demonstration of the students TO join in
and create disorder, and now as mat
ter Of fact they and not the students as
body are responsible for the rioting.
To-day almost the whole OF Paris Is
occupied by the troops. who are under
orders TO repress disorder with a strong
hand. The government has not yet
carried out its threat to close the La
Dor Exchange II was decided this
morning to allow the building to re-
main open for little while longer.
Another disgraceful scene was wit
messed in the Chamber of Deputies TO-
day, the occasion being the riots that
have occurred in the ciSy since Satur-
day last. Proposals were made that
the Chamber should at once proceed to
discuss the subject of the riots, but NJ.
Dupuy, the Prime Minister, opposed
such action. His opposition was seized
upon by the extremists to make a dem
oustraton. They howled andy elled and
a general uproar followed. For time
nothing could be heard but cries and
counter cries, and the utmost disorder
prevailed. When order was finally re-
stored the Chamber, by vote Of 377 to
1913, postponed consideration Of the
question until Monday.
At this hour % D. NJ quietness pre-
walls In the district south of the Seine,
where the trouble has been most pro-
nounced. The prompt action to-day Of
the military and the knowledge that
they have orders to use any amount OF
force TO dispense rioters has had the ef-
feet of cowlng the mob, When night
falls, however, further trouble may oc
cur, but the authorities declare that
they will put down disorder, even II 1t
becomes necessary to order the soldiers
to fire volleys into the crowds.
The startling suddenness with which
the scufle between the students and the
police has developed into bloody rioting
has caused the government anxiety.
The original cause of the trouble has
been quite lost sight Of in the general
rioting in which all the scum Of South
ern Paris, reinforced by the laWless vag
abonds from Monmartre Velieville aud
other thieves rookeres north Of the
Seine, are taking the part Of the stu
dents. The agitation was solely direct
ed against the manager OF the students
ball being fined for allowing girls to ap-
pear In a state little removed from
nudity. The students, however, have
generally withdrawn from the disorders,
aud the issue is now between the Paris
Canaille and the police.
A delegation OF students has waited
upon M. Dupuy, and protested against
being further associated with the riots.
NJ. Dupuy declared himself as satisfied,
and the students have agreed to assist
the police with every means in their
power. They have pIacarded a mani
festo on the trees OF the Boulevard st.
Michel, calling upon students to with
draw from all manifestations, and de-
clariug that the trouble is mainly due
to agents provocstors." The govern
ment's anxiety chiefly arises from the
belief that Bouauglsts are fostering the
riots for political ends.
