PARIS OCCUPIED BY TROOPS.
THE AUTHORITIES SAY THEY WILL RE
STORE ORDER AT THE FRENCH CAPT.
TAI AT ANY COST.

PARIS, July 5.-The body of Nuger,
the young man who was killed during
the fighting between the police and
students in the Latin quarter was sent
to the home of his parents, in Lyons,
to-day. The authorities feared that
the rioters would take advantage Of
the shipment of the body to cause
further trouble, and considerable Sc
crecy was observed in transferring the
body from the morgue to the Lyons
railway station.
As the day wore on the rioters, hun
dreds Of whom have no connections
with the students, gathered in the vi
entity of the markets and restarted the
disturbances. Several conflicts oc.
Cured between the rioters on one side
and police and soldiers on the other.
The crowd was composed of the riff
raft Of the city, majority being out
of work and men who never work.
The fighting was quite severe and
numbers on both sides were injured
The affair has assumed such a serious
aspect that the authorities, who at
FIRST imagined that it was due entirely
s0 the effervescence of the more mis-
chievious Of the students, have deter
mined to restore order at any cost
The disorderly elements in all parts Of
the city took advantage Of the demons
tration of students to join in to create
disorder, and now as matter of fact.
they and not the students as a body
are responsible for the rioting.
TO day almost the whole of Paris is
occupied by troops who are under
orders to repress disorder with strong
hand. The government has not yet
carried out its threat to close the labor
exchange. 1t was decided this morn
ing to allow the building to remain
open for little while longer. At FIVE
o'clock this evening quietness prevails
in the district. Prompt action to-day
of the military and the knowledge that
they had orders to use any amount of
force to disPerse the rioters has had
the effect of cowing the mob. There
was disgraceful scene in the cham
ber Of deputies to-day. The proposal
was made that the body discuss the
riots. The extremists howled and for
a time the utmost disorder prevailed.
The matter was postponed until Mon
day.
Rioting was resumed at 9. 80 o'clock
tonight. A mob in the Boulevard St.
Michael assumed threatening attitude
and the police charged upon the crowd,
driving the rioters down the Rue Des
Ecoles as far as the place Maubert.
There the mob made a determined
stand, showering stones and every kind
of missiles on the police. A hand to
hand fight followed, and the struggle
continued until the police were rein
forced by large force of guards, when
the rioters dispersed. In the mean
time body of police and Republican
guards had driven off the turbulent
crowds that had assembled in the vi
cinity OF the labor exchange, which is
now occupied by troops
At eleven o'clock there was a san
culinary encounter on the Rue DIES
Ecoles. The exact details are want
Ing, but it is known that the Republi.
can guards charged the rioters with
drawn swords and that the police open
ed fire with revolvers upon the mob.
One man was killed on the spot by a
sabre cut Others were taken to the
nelghboring drug stores and their
wounds were dressed.
