uties to-day another dsgraoeful scene WAS
witnessed. Proposals were made that the
Chamber should at once proceed to dis

MORE BLooDsHED.
Rioting was resumed at $50 o'clock to-
| night. A mob in the Boulevard st.
Michel assumed threatening attitude
and the police charged upon the. crowd,
| driving the rioters down the Rue DIES
Ecoles as far as the Place Maubert. There
| the mob made determined stand, shower
ing stones and every kind of missile on
| the police.
A hand to hand fight followed and the
struggle continued until the police were
reinforced by large force of Republican
| Guards. when the rioters were dispersed.
In the mean time body of police and
| Republican Guards had driven off the
turbulent crowds that had assembled in
the vicinity of the Labor Exchange, which
| is now occupied by troops.
At IL o'clock there was sauguinary en-
counter on the Rue des Ecoles. The exact
details are wanting, but it is known
| that the Republican Guards charged upon
the rioters with drawn swords, and that
the police opened fire with their revolvers
| upon the mob. One man was killed on
| the spot by cut from a sabre.
PARIS, July 6.-Quiet prevails through
out the city to-day, but there has been no
diminution of the extremely bitter feeling
entertained against the police.
The authorities, civil and military, are
| on the qui vive. and the districts of the
| city in which further rioting may occur
are closely patrolled.
| PARIS, July 6.--The rioting in Paris has
at last taken a political character. Cavalry
occupying the Place de la Republique has
/ come in contact with workmen. This
magnificent meeting place for rioters was
occupied all day by soldiers. The curious
| fiocked into it, but only the proprietor of
the Cafe Americana kept his place quite
open, and he was rewarded by doing the
finest business in Paris.
AT II O'Clock its occupants heard pistol
and rife shots, and, on investigating TIE
cause, found that barricade had been
formed in Avenue de la Republique, which
the mob defended with firearms. Thirty
were wounded in the conflict, and some
will probably die. but none were killed
outright. Ambulances soon began to pass
through the place, and police, some of
whom were wounded, came back bringing
prisoners by the dozen.
Chincholle. wcll-known writer for
Figaro, who got mixed up in the charge
when the police carried barricade, had
his arm broken in two places. The latest
of many reports that filled Paris at
O'Clock in the morning was that the peo-
pie were firing on the police from windows
in one quarter of the city, but this is not
confirmed.
THE TROUBLE AT THE HOSPITAL.
The action of the police in making the
arrests at the Charity Hospital yesterday,
which brought forth a letter of protest
from Professor Germain See, has caused
the most intense anti-police agitation in
professional and other circles.
The first dispatches stating that conval-
escent patients had Kissed the police from
the windows of the hospitals have been
arrested for so doing were incorrect. It
transpires that the police commissary,
who was ip charge of a body of gems
d'armes that had been struggling with the
rioters in the vicinity Of the hos
pital heard some body in the
hospital kissing the police. He ordered
the arrest of six house surgeons, but when
his subordinates attempted to carry out
the order the surgeons shut and locked the
hospital doors. They refused to open
them when ordered to do SO by the police,
and tine latter, determined to make arrests
and very angry because of the resistance
to them burst the doors in and assaulted
the surgeons who were standing in the
yestibule.

NJ. Loze, the project of police, ordered that
they be at once released. This further
angered the police and shortly afIerward
several officers returned to the hospital
! and selzed Professor Villeiean, noted
! physician and chemical analyst, and
struck him violently.
, Several surgeons witnessing this entirely
uncalled for assault attempted to defend
the professor, The police turned on them
and handled them Very roughly, infiictine
serious injuries on three or four of them,
The hospital was IN an nproar at this
brutal manifestation of police spite and
the hospital staff determined to drive the
police out of the building. Some of the
surgeons procured reviewers and at theiI
muzzles compelled the police to withdraw.
This morning anumber of high officials
deeply indignant at the police, interviewed
in the matter and demanded of the gov.
eminent that the hospital be protected
against further intrusion by police endeav.
oring to redress personal grievances.
PARIS, July 8-Aside from the wreckags
ON the streets in the sections in which the
rioters have fought the police, and the Re
publican guard and the extra number oil
troops on duty, the city this morning pre-
sented its usual appearance.
All the newspapers agree that the riots
Of last night were milder than those tha

day. and express the belief that the firm
| hand of the government will soon restore
order.
Two hundred arrests of rioters were
] made yesterday and last night.
