Especial credit is due Mr.. Jordan for
the class of music presented by

Restoring Order in the
City of Paris.
SKIRMISH AT NIOHTFALL
Promoters of the Demonstrations
Manifestly of the Reactionary
and Criminal Classes.
special to The MORNING CALL.

PARIS. July 6-Two hundred persons
were arrested last night for participating
in the disturbance.
The withdrawal of students from the
unruly proceedings here removed all ex-
cuse for demonstrations and fully exposed
the purely misrhievous aims of the rioters.
The promoters of yesterdays disorders
were entirely Of the reactiOnary and sans
culotte class. eager to upset any regular
form of government, and the respectable
element was altogether missing.
The cowardly ruffianism of the mob can
be judged by the fact that the priceless
stained glass windows OF st. German des
Pres were wl!fully smashed.
The 1ntTansigeant. seeking to incite
popular feeling against the police, and
through them against the Government. de-
clares that 1000 civilians were wounded
more probable. is between 400 and 500, and
the Intransigeants estimate of the dead is
palpably absurd.
The students showed sincerity In their
promise to assist the authorities by their
action last evening. When the mob erected
a small barricade in Rue Cujas. near the
S0rbonne, and pslted the geudarmes with
stones, pieces of iron, ETC.. the students
went to the aid of the police and :nenl-
selves arrested several r0ughS and helped
clear the barricade.
Everything is quiet throughout the city,
but the authorities, civil and military, are
extremely vigilant, and the districts in
which further trouble may occur are
closely patrOlled.
Gangs of rowdes made disturbances
early this evening around the Labor Ex-
change and in the side streets. They upset
and smashed FIVE tramcars and broke many
windows. The police were finally able to
hold them in check. but not to disDerse
them. In the fights several rowdies and
two policemen were injured
Ir another encounter later the police
charged twice before they could force the
rioters back. They used revolvers and
several were shot. The rioters fired back
and wounded a few policemen.
The closing of the Labor Exchange by
the Government caused intense excitement
among the workingmen. Thousands Of
workmeD came to the building and were
only restrained from violence by several
companies of military and police. The
auxiliary labor exchange has been closed
also. and is held by troops.
More than $4,000 troops have been
brought from the provinces to Paris within
the last five days.

like a train Of lgnited powder. and in ten
minutes after the alarm was given the en-

bers and hot ashes.
The workmen were not able to save their
dinner buckets or clothes. The fire was
first seen by man eating lunch on the
cooling floor. 1t had then reached the
building over the reverberator, which had
been lying idle for two days, and the re-
Spouse to the first cry of fire was instan-
taneOus, and the pumps were all in motion
thirty seconds after the alarm, and before
the whistle sounded everything at the
engine-room was under perfect control.
The fire is supposed TO have started by
sparks falling in the wood pile at the east
end of the building. The mill had just
been improved at an expense of $4,000.
making the total cost $3.50, 900, and was
a perfect modern teaching plant. The
burning of this mill is severely felt in

THE NEVADA SOUTHERN.
Contracts to Be Let for Further
Extension

SAN BERNARDINo. July 6.-Advices

state that contractors who are laying track
for the Nevada Southern from that point
to Good Springs are rushing matters. The
road is now running within five miles of
Vanderbilt.
The latest and most important informa-
tien concerning the new road is that con-
tract for building fifty-one miles between
Vanderbilt and Good Springs will be let
on the Goth inst. This indicates that the
line is not to be branch of the Santa Fe
system, but an Independent transconii-
mental line, connecting Denver with South
ern California by way of San Bernardino.
Some hold the opinion. however. that the
road is TO connect at Glover Valley juno
ton, south of Phoebe, New. to which point
road from Salt Lake now runs. The
gap is less than $50 miles. and the grade is
easy 10 construct.

tilted he knew the De Gaetanos, witnesses

Witness did not slap Heath on the back

poor appearance. He denied seeing Heath
with two bottles of beer that night at the
saloon.

that Heath came to him and gave his San
