strewn with debris of every description.
The left side of the River Rhone was the
scene of the worst acts of violence. Here
the troops We're summoned TO aid the po-
lice and the utmost difficulty in restoring

Threats Against Italian.
Were it not for the presence Of the
overwhelming force of troops stationed
in and about the city, there is little doubt
that the mob would attack the palais of
justice and wreak vengeance upon the
murderer. Mourning emblems are worn
by nearly every man, woman and child
in the city and no dwelling seems tco
poor to display the emblems OF grief.
During Monday a mob, including a
number of members of the various gym
nastic societies, who had arrived in this
city to take part III the fetes, began to
gather about the cafes Casati. Mattosi
and Maderni and about the Italian quar-
tiers. Another large crow gathered
about the hall where the well known
Italian Harmonic club meets and most
serious disorder was apprehended.
Threats We're heard on all sides against
Italians and anarchists.
Several of the Italian wine shops were
attacked and partly wrecked and the
Italian cafes mentioned were stoned and
otherwise damaged i'll spite of the efforts
of the police and military. The side
walks in front of the Italian cafes were
strewn with wreckage. The troops are
held in reserve under arms at their bar
racks. A company of infantry is also
held in reserve i'll a house adjoining the
Italian consulate to be ready to support
the police in case of an attack. At the
request Of the local authorities the Italian
consul has removed the italian flag from
outside the consulate.
Forced to Flee For Their Lives
Some of the more hotheaded men
proposed an attack upon the Italian
quarter and the proposition was received
with wild cries of applause. and in a
moment an enormous mob, at the head
of which was carried a French flag, was
enroute to that part Of the city given
over to the Italians. Before the police
could intervene to prevent the trouble
the mob had attacked all the shops be-
longing to the foreigners and sacked
them. The proprietors and their fami-
lies We're forced TO flee for their lives.
In the meantime another large band
marched through other streets and by
threats compelled every Italian who kept
q cafe 20 close his place.
The crowds in the Rue de la Repub-
lique became threatening and refused TO
disperse and it WAS finally necessary TO
command the curaissers to charge the
crowd.
