 PARIS, July 7.-This evening opened with the police apprehensive of riots in many parts of the Latin quarter. Traffic was stopped in the principal streets. Every open space had been occupied by mounted police ard all the side streets were pa trolled. The street speakers were com pelled to move on whenever they tried to call a crowd. Most of the agitators there fore retired to the cafes, where they de- nounced the police and exhorted their hearers to clear the streets of military. Round the Place de Ia Republique the signs of trouble were especially numerous.
 All the cafes in the Boulevard du Tem- pie and the Boulevard Voitaire were filled at 8 o'clock with workingmen and row dies, who were expected shortly to follow the chief agitstors into the street and begin the attack on police and military. Shortly before o'clock the cafes were cupty ouu buc ILLUS were hkolu III luo streets. h the Boulevard Voltaire and the Boulevard de Temple the rioters were armed with clubs and & few revolvers. They marched towards the Place de la Republique.
 At the corner of the Rue d'Angouleme the rioters in the Boulevarde Voltaire were met by a body of dragons and laneers. They were ordered back, but pressed ahead. The military charged, but although many rioters were knocked down and trsmpled the mob did not yield. The sol diers were received with showers of stones and scattering shots. Several were struck with clubs.
 Tho charge was repeated and the mob began retreatinz slowly. There was no scattering or signs of panic. The men backed off step by step, those in front welding their clubs right and left and those behind splitting up booths and kiosks into weapons with which to fight later in the front. After six charges the military had forced the mob back to the Boulevard Richard Lenoir, where the fight ing was suspended.
 In their retreat the rioters set fire to the booths which they did not split into clubs. For five blocks the Boulevard Voltair is strewn with broken timbers, charred boards and torn and bloody clothing. Most of the windows were smashed during the conflict. Thirty or forty rioters are known to have been seriously wounded. Many others received injuries of a slight character.
 In the Boulevard Du Temple similar. en- counters took place. The mob was driven back, but only after hard fighting. In the Avenue de la Republique and on the Qusf desValmy along the canal St. Martin the fighting between the rioters and the republican guards was almost uninter- rupted from 9:45 to 10 o'clock. Booths and carts were dragged to the middle of the streets and set afrs. Brands were was pushed by the military from the Ave nus de Ia Republiqus allies of the rioters began firing from the windows.
 The feeling of the workipgmen against the students who refused to participate in the riots is very bitter. M. Carrere, the chairman of the studepts' committee which sent out the proclamation against the riot CTS. was attacked on his way home last night by two rowdies and three laborers. They stabbed him, beat him, and left him for dead. Although severely wounded, he probably will recover. The municipal council held 8 stormy meeting last night.
 NJ. Humbsrt, president, made bitter speech against the governments action in closing the labor exchange. The cabinet, he said, was trying to strengthen itself by pandering to the reactionsries. It had not scrupled 10 trample on the liberties of the people for the sake of gaining temporary advantage.
 The law of 1884, compelling trades unions to register was an arbitrary and un- just measure and the workipgmen were right when they resisted its execution. The people were not ready to see liberty x1aI 6or, av,kx or,1I I reconsider its rash action in shutting up the labor exchange the protest of the people of Paris would be strengthened by the protests of lsboring millions through out the republic. Other members of the council spoke still more strongly against the government. All were applauded. The prefect of police replied briefly The law must be obeyed, he said. The government had merely done its duty in closing the exchange and it's action WAS in every way justifsble. As soon as the trades unions showed a disposition to obey the laws the government would meet them more than half way and allow the exchange to be reopened. Much uneasiness has been caused by the announcement that on Tuesday the an- archists will celebJ ate the anniversary of Rsyachol's execution.
 OF THE LOWEST CLASS
 LONDON, July The Standards Paris correspondent says that the mobs In the Avenue de Ia Republique, Quai de Valmy,
 Boulevard du Temple and Boulevard Vol,
 taire were of the very lowest class. They uttered insulting and seditious cries ss the military appeared and get fire to the kisosks. In the Boulevard des Files du
 CaIvaire they seized cabs and carts and be
 gan building barricades. The police and cavalry drove the rioters back and scatter ! ed the obstructions. At the corner of tht
 Avenue de Ia Republique and the Bouls
 yard Richard Lenoir the gas pipe was cu
 and the gas was lighted: A tremendoul
 explosion followed. This is supposed tt
 have been the work of anarchists.
