PARIS, July 3.-On Saturday last al
ARRAY occurred between the police and
a number of students in the Latin quar-
ter. The students who lodge In the
Quarter determined to lay the facts In
the case before the government and TO
obtain satisfaction for the arbitrary
and oyerbearing conduct OF the police.
When the Chamber OF Deputies met
to-day, students TO the number OF
one thousand proceeded TO the
legislative building and sought 10 gain
admission. The officials OF the cham
Der, fearing riotous demonstration,
gave orders 10 close the gates 10 pre-
vent their ingress. After considerable
parleying, during which the students
expressed themselves very freely, ten
of the number were admitted 10 the
chamber. The spokesman OF the
students was accorded a hearing by tho
chamber. He stated the facts In
the case as they appeared TO him and
declared that the students only object
in coming 10 the chamber was 10 urge
the deputies TO support a measure CEN
surlng the government, which was
offered by M. Milleraud. He Submitted
his motion asking the House TO censure
the government for its connection with
the ARRAY and the debate Is sttil pro-
ceeding.
M.Loze, prefect Of police has resigned
his Office, because as he believes the
government is disposed 10 make ascape-
goat OF him Ia the matter.
In speaking OF his motion NJ. Miller
aud maintained that the police had
brutally assaulted innocent persons
who we're simply looking At the strug-
gle between the gendarmes aud the stu
dents.
NJ. Dupuy, the Prime Minister, depre-
Gated the discussion as premature, add
ing that a stringent inquiry was preced-
ing into all tho facts OF the case. The
order OF the day expressing the trust
that the government would do It's best
to punish the guilty officers, was finally
adopted by tho Chamber. Efforts are
now being made To induce nj. Loze 10
reconsider his resignation.
At 9:30 o'clock this evening 1000 stu
dents surrounded the prefecture OF
police, jeered the police aud threw
stones through the windows. Wbi\
the police were preparing TO chNfge, the
mob upset oil the booths In theneig hbor-
hood and smashed the street lamps.
The charge OF the police was resisted
stubbornly. The students fonght back
with clubs and stones. In the nrst
| onset several studentsl were wounded
and two policemen were stretched un-
conscious on the pavement. The ssc-
ond charge resulted In more injuries on
| both sides but the students were driven
| back but so or 90 yards. After the
third charge had been repulsed the stu
dents marched, singing and shouting 70
the place ST. Michel. The police re-
| tired and a call for cavalry was sent out
| from the prefecture. AZ 1918 the stu
dents were rioting In the boulevard OK
| st. Michel.

was the death OF NJ. Muger, clerk who
was injured mortslly by the police IN their
encounter with the students on Saturday.
