The Police Get the Worst Of 1t in
Three Charges.

Several Combatants Injured on Each
Side The Students, After Repulsing
the Police, Riot in the Boulevard st,
Michel-A Call for Cavalry Sent Out
blythe Police.
Paris, July 3.-On Saturday last an af-
| fray occurred between police and num-
ber Of students in the Latin quarter.
The affair caused the greatest kind of ex-
citement among the students who lodge
in the quarter, and they determined to
lay the facts in the case before the gov
! ernment and to obtain satisfaction for
what they deemed the arbitrary and over
bearing conduct of the police. When the
chamber of deputies met to-day, students
to the number of 1000 proceeded to the
executive building and sought to gain ad-
mission. The officials of the chamber,
hearing riotous demonstration, gave or
ders to close the gates to prevent their
ingress. After considerable parleying,
! ten students were admitted to the cham
bers as spokesmen. They stated their
side of the case and urged the deputies to
support motion offered by Deputy Mil
lerand, eensuring the government.
NJ. Millerand charged the police
with brutality.
M. Dupuy, the prime minister, depre-
! Gated the decision as premature, adding
that stringent inquiry was proceeding
! into all the facts of the case. An order
of the day expressing trust that the gov
| ernment would do its best to punish the
guilty officers was finally adopted by
the chamber.
NJ. Loze, prefect of police, has resigned
on account Of the affair. He believed
the government disposed to make a scape-
goat of him. Efforts are being made to
! induce Prefect Loze to withdraw his
resignation. At 0:30 o'clock tonight
1000 students surrounded the prefecture
of Police jeered the officials and threw
tones through the windows. While the
police were preparing to charge, mob up
set all the booths in the neighborhood and
smashed the street lamps. The charge
of thepolice was resisted stubbornly.
The students fought back with clubs
and stones. In the first onset several
students were wounded and two police
men were stretched unconscious on the
pavement. A second charge resulted in
more injuries on both tsides, but the stu
| dents were driven back but fifty or sixty
yards. After third charge had been
| repulsed the students marched singing
and shouting to Place st. Michel. The
police retired and a call for cavalry was
sent out from the prefecture. At 1918
O'Clock the students were rioting in the
Boulevard ST. Michel
The immediate cause of the
riots to-day was the death Of a clerk
named Nuger, who was injured by the
police in their encounter with the stud
ents on Saturday. A disorderly demon
stration will probably be made by the
students at Nugers' funeral.
THE POLICE AGAIN woRsTED.
Paris, July 4, a. m.-After the cavalry
! had returned to their barracks the mob
! hurried back along the boulevard ST
Michel, smashed with clubs and heavy
sticks of timber, the massive doors of the
| Palais de Justice and knocked the glass
out of all the windows in reach. The
police returned and charged the mob
with drawn swords. The rioters over
came them, tore their swords from their
hands and drove them back to hotel Dieu.
Several policemen were cut badly with
swords which the rioters wrenched from
them Three of the policemen have been
taken to 1the hospitals. A dozen
other policeman are badly
bruised with stones and clubs.

clothes and carried to the river. He
begged the students on his knees not 10
throw him inand eventuallywas released.
The republican guards were called out
at midnight The students retreated to
the Boulevard St. Michel as the guards
approached and dispersed shortly before
l O'Clock. The guards remained stationed
at the bridge to prevent the return of any
rioters to the Palais de Justice, and the
Arefecture de Police. Prefect Loze denied
late last night that he had resigned.
