many as six. But, as DR.. Won Schulze-
Gaevernitz tells MS. Notwithstanding that
the continental manufacturers run their
looms from 20 to 30 per cent slower than
ours are worked, in Mulhouse and in
Switzerland each weaver can only tend
three. and in Germany you will seldom
see a weaver able to tend more than two

A Riot Over Riots

PARIS, July 6.-Another d~isgraceful
scene was witnessed in the chamber of
deputies dnring the day, the occasion
being the riots that have occurred here
since Saturday last. The proposal was
made that the chamber should at once
proceed to discuss the subject of riots,
but M. Dupuy. the prime minister. op-
posed such action. His opposition was
seized upon by the Extremists to MAKE
a demonstration. A general uproar fol-
lowed: For an hour nothing could be
heard but cries and counter cries, and
the utmost disorder prevailed. When
order was finally restored the chamber,
by a a vote Of BIT to 1873, postponed ron
sideration of the question till Monday.
