Fight at Might.
Paris, July g. --Quietness prevails
throughout the city to-day, but there has
been no diminution of the bitter feeling
entertained against the police. The OFF,
GERS, civil and military, are on the qul
vive and the districts of the city in which
further trouble may occur, are closely
patroled.
The action of the police in making ar
rests at the Charity hospital yesterday,
which brought forth a letter of protest
from Prof. German See, has caused q
most intense anti-police agitation in pro-
fessional and other circles The first dis
patch, stating that conyalescent patients
had hissed the police from the windows
of the hospital and had been arrested for
so doing was Incorrect.
Police Commissioner Dhers, who was in
charge of a body of gcndarmes, heard
somebody in the hospital kissing the
police He ordered the arrest of six sur
geOns, but the surgeons shut and locked
the hospital doors. The police burst in
the doors and assaulted the surgeons,
who were standing in the vestibule, and
carried two of them TO the prefecture of
police, where they were released by Pre-
feet LOze. This aggravated the police, and
several of them returned to the
hospital and assaulted Prof Vile
joau. Other surgeons took his part,
and were in turn assaulted and four SER
iOusly injured BY this time the hospital
and the nnI1pn
driven out at the muzzle of pistols. This
morning number of high officials, sdeeply
indignant at the police, interviewed in the
matter and demanded of the government
that the hospital be protected againsbk
further intrusion by police endeavoring
to redress personal grievances
Gangs of rowdies gathered this evenings
around the labor exchange, and the police
have not been able to disperse them.
Very few students were in the mob. Sew
eral fights occurred, and several were in4
jured.
CHARGES BY POLICE.
Paris, July Z, . a. ma mob took pos
session Of the Boulevard du Temple at
1890 o'clock last night, and began b1elk-
ing windows. The police charged twice
before they could force the rioters back.
The police used revOlvers, and several
rioters were shot. The rioters fired back,
but only wounded one policeman.
The Figaro says this morning that om-
nibusses were overturned and set afire by
rioters in Rue St Maur and Rue Ober-
kampf The Republican guards charged
mobs in both streets. The mohs fought
stubbornly but were routed. Thirty rio-
ters were arrested. Many who were
wounded were carried off by their friends.
The number is estimated at 30 or40.

CLEARING OF THE LABOR EXCHANGE.
Paris, July z, 3 u. m.-The Figaro gives
a graphic account of the clearing of the
labor exchange yesterday. Seven hum
dred policemen, under instruction from
the ministry of justice, marched to the
building about the middle of
the afternoon and drove everybody
out. The doors were then closed.
Three hundred policemen were left on
guard The exchange was closed because
the syndcates using it refused 10 comply
with the law of 1884 requiring them to
register themselves. The syndi-
Gates Of the exchange gave warning
to the government through the municipal
council that unless this attempt TO compel
them TO register was abandoned they
would proclaim a general strike. Never
theless M. Guerln, minister of justice,
told the senate that all the labor syndi-
Gates which had been constituted ille-
gally or were proceeding illegally would
be prosecuted. The labor exchange he
said, had become the hot-bed of revolu-
tionary propaganda and had defied the
laws, hence the government had closed it.
The government would not be deferred
from enforcing the law.
The Auxiliary Labor Exchange iu Rue
Jean Jacques Rousseau has been closed
also, and is held by troops. Labor leader
Allemane, in speaking at the exchange
yesterday morning, warned his hearers
against resOrting to open fighting with
the government. He said that more than
5000 troops had been brought from the
provinces to ParisIwithin the last days.
If the worklngmen should go into the
streets to obtain their rights they would
be moved down by the military. Their
fight would be futile, as the country was
not yet ripe for revolution. Alleman's
statement concerning the concentration
of troops in Paris is acknowledged gener-
ally to be correct.
