hardly placed. but because he is so old

ready, has some chance. NJ. Casimir-
Perier would just now be dangerous
because he is repugnant to the ind US

cards that a large number of opportu-
nists may unite with the radicals and
socialists on NJ. Brisson or HI. Bour-
geois. Bourgeois is an outsider, but
SO was Carnot in 1887, under different
circumstances, however.
A presidential election is in the
nature Of a Vatican conclave, anu is the
object of endless bargaining and in
triguing. NJ. Casimir-P erier Is the
man for the wealthy bourgeoisie and
aristocratic society. He is wise in his
own conceit, but the responsibilities
involved in the presidency might cure
this. In America he might pass for an
old-fashioned Wing.
Madame Carnot has piles of letters

of Valiant and Henri. Not long ago

GRENoB LIE, June 26.-There has been
serious rioting here. The disturbance
commenced on Sunday night, and was
continued until early this morning. Late
Sunday night number of French and

mob of Frenchmen, headed by flags and
armed with sticks. invaded the yards of

and badly beat the Italians. Just as
the trouble was becoming more serious
the prefect arrived and induced the
Frenchmen to retire. at O'clock yes

attacked. A number OF Italians were
treated in the same manner. The mob
marched through the streets shouting:
"Down with the Italians"
Several Italians who were met in the
streets were beaten and kicked. Tie
mob was reinforced, and proceeded to
the Italian consulate.

The riotous crowds spread through

that they were to be expelled from the
city. The Italians were guarded by
the police until this morning, when the
disorder had temporarily subsidized.
Two leaders of the attack upon the
Italian consulate were arrested today,
and this caused renewal of the dis

CHICAGO, June 26.-The threatened
strike to enforce the boycott of Pullman
cars was inaugurated at 8. o'clock to-
night, when the American Railway
union ordered the Illinois Central men
cut. The switchmen were the first to
zobey. and quietly walked out. tying up
T the suburban as well as express train
service. The o'clock train for ST.
Louis was allowed to pull out, as it was
made up this morning. before the boy
colt went into effect. but that train. the
men asserted. was the last that would
be allowed to leave until the Pullman
strike is settled.
The union men were quiet and or
derly. but apparently determined to a
man to maintain the boycott. The
strike. it was asserted by an A. r. U.
official tonight. will extend Immediately
to five other roads-the Chicago, ST.

Illinois Central which were tied up at
Grand Crossing. south of the city, were
run out by Central enploye, who
under police protection, manipulated
the necessary switches. A crowd Of
about 1900 strikers and their friends
gathered about the station. and
an extra detail of police was
called TO protect the switchmen.
mo attempt was made to run
Suburban trains. and hundreds Of sub
turbanites were compelled to resort to
street cars and cabs to reach their
homes. A largely attended meeting Of
railroad men was held tonight, at which

to announce to their employers tomor-

Arthur. of the Brotherhood OF Locolno-

had no connection with the American
Railway union whatever, and would
therefore not be affected in any manner
by the same. All he knew about the
boycott was what he had read In the
newspapers. He believed, however,
that if the Pullman company had re-

as to the result of the boycott. Ii
the boycott is intended to affect the
