THE ASSAULT ON THE PREFECTURE.
By O'Clock in tho evening the Latin Quarter
was all upturned and tho students boiling with
wild Indignation: They had been deceived
and baffled. BY the evening newspapers they
learned that the reported resignation OF Loze
Dupuy was still! at the head OF the Govern
ment, and nothing had boon accomplished.
The Prime Minister had answered the inter-
pelation BY saying that the GOVERNMENT was
the policeman who had thrown the murderous
match safe. He sincerely regretted tho scenes
that had taken place, and sympathized with
the Indignation Of tho students. Tho Govern
ment. would take all possible measures to see
that justice was Done.
That was too much for tho students and
their rage burst forth in tumult
