This action adds strength to the report
that the Government intends to dissolve
that body.
Fifty-fve of the rioters have been held
for prosecution. All the other persons
arrested have been released.
Though the district in the vicinity of
the Place de la Republique remained
quiet throughout the day several infantry
and cavalry regiments took possession of
the place to guard against recurrence of
the disorderly scenes that have taken
place there.
The evening opened with the police ap-
prehens1ve Of riots in the Latin quarter.
Street speakers were compelled to move
on whenever they tried to call a crowd.
Most of the agitators therefore retired to
the Seine, where they denounced the DO
lice and exhorted their hearers to clean
the streets of military round Place de la
Republique.
Signs OF trouble We're especially numer-
GUS on the Boulevard Voltaire and the
boulevard de Temple. The rioters. armed
with clubs and reyolvers, marched cheer
ing and singing toward the Place de la

body of dragons and lancers They
were ordered back, but pressed ahead.
The military charged but although many
rioters were knocked down and tram
pied, the mob did not yield. The soldiers
were received with showers of stones and
scattering shots. Several were struck
with clubs. The charge was repeated,
and the mob began retreating slowly.
The men backed off step by step, those in
front welding clubs right and left, and
those behind splitting up booths and
kiosks into weapons with which to fight
later in front.
After the charges of the military had
forced the mob back to the boulevard
Richard Lenoir, where the fighting was
suspended, the rioters set fire to the
booths which they did not split into
clubs, and for five blocks the boulevard
Noltaire 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 We're seriously wounded.
Two lancers are said to have been W wound-
ed by revolver shots.
In the boulevard De Tempe a similar
occurrence took place.
Throughout the evening the police
treated brutally Paris reporters who were
sent out TO describe the riots. Several
were assaulted aud beaten by the police.

GUILFoRD-M1LLER CASE.
Official Ruling Made by Secretary o
the Interior Smith.

Official Ruling Made by Secretary of
the Interior Smith.
WASHINGTON, July THE celebrated
Guilford- Miller case, which involves the
rights of so many settlers on railroad
grants, has received an official ruling.
Upon motion for a review of the case of
Charles Coles VS.. the Northern Pacific
Company, which involves the ruling of
the department in the case of the North
ern Pacific VS.. Guilford- Miller, and in
which counsel for the railroad company
asked that the decision in the Guilford-
Miller case be reversed, Secretary Hoke
Smith affirmed the decision of the depart
ment heretofore rendered.
In the last-named case, so far as it held
that the statutory withdrawal provided
Tor by the sixth section of the Act of
July 2, 1884, to the Northern Pacific Rail-
road Company, upon filing map of its
general route, became effective in Wash
lngton Territory when the map of July
30, 1870, was filed and approved, and said
withdrawal exercised thereby was ex-
hausted and could not be repeated. The
Secretary holds that this second filing,
made February q, 1872, in said Territory,
was without validity or sanction of law,
either as an executive or legislative with
drawal.
He further held that on May 30, 1870,
IN the then Territory of Washington,
was, as shown by the certificates of the
chief engineer of the company, the result
of surveys and explorations made for the
purpose of determining the proper Ioca-
ton of the road, and indicated with GER
tainty that it was the intention of the
company that the route thus designated
should be the general route contemplated
by the Act, upon which legislative
withdrawal should take effect. AS the
case of Coles was controlled by the
ruling upon the first proposition, it was
considered unnecessary to pass upon the
question as to the right Of the Secretary
to withdraw the lands within the in
demnity limits of this road after definite
location thereof, and hence no decision
was made upon this point.

WHITE HORSE OF LAMBouRNE.
The Strange Natural Formation to Be
Seen on an English Hillside.

seen OH Hi English I11liSiQe.
In Berkshire, England, is situated a
hill on the steep sides of which is the
figure of a gigantic horse whose dimen-
sions are almost an acre in extent. The
head, neck, body and tail of this wonder
full figure consists of wide white lines, as
does also each of its four legs. The out
lines of this monstrous specimen of the
genus equinus are formed by cutting
trenches in the chalk, of which the hill
is mainly composed, the bitches being
from two to three feet deep and about ten
fee: in width. The chalk of the trenches
being of beautiful white and the sur
roundings the greenest of the green,
makes the figure of the horse plainly dis
cernible, according to the PHILADELPHIA
Press, at distance Of about twelve miles,
This is the famous white Horse of Lam
bourne" The white horse is known to
have been the standard Of the Saxons and
some have supposed that this monster
emblematic figure was made by Hengist,
one of the Saxon Kings.
Mr.. Wise, an antiquarian who has
written much on the white horse Of Berk-
shire, brings in several arguments TO
prove that this figure was made by or
under orders from Alfred during the
reign of Ethelred, his brother, and that
1t is monument to victory over the
Danes in the year S7l. Other well-known
writers are of the opinion that the cele-
brated white horse is a natural freak
one of natures oldest oddities. Ash
adBurrton thinks that the early
tribes noticed that the outlines of the
freak resembled horse to a certain ex-
tent and that they worked it into its pres
ent shape, at least that they gave the
outlines their present graceful sym
metry. However this may be, it has
been the custom since time out Of mem
ory for the neighboriug peasants to as
semble on a certain day of each year,
usually about midsummer, to clear away
the weeds from around the white horse
and to trim the edges of the trenches SO
as to preserve the color and shape. This
task is known all over England las scour-
ing the white horse.n
