RIOT IN ROME.
Troops Fire Upon a Large Assemblage OF
People.


ROME, Oct 12.-It Is estimated that
there were at least 10000 people in the
procession that escorted a deputation
to protest against a proposed income
tax to the offices of the minister of the
interior The authorities, it was quite
evident, had failed to make adequate
provision for maintaining order in such
a vast and crowded assembly.
The people were irritated at being ex-
cluded from the building by the car
abineers, and presently a second de-
tachment issued with fixed bayonets
and tried to clear the plaza. The
crowd then resisted, stone throwing be-
gan, and the conflict became general
until an infantry detachment appeared
on the scene and by repeated charges
drove the crowd into the adjoining
streets, the mob still showering stones.
Some Of the soldiers, becoming infuri-
ated, fired in the direction of the crowd,
and the streets were only cleared after
a severe struggle. a second resort to
firearms becoming necessary to dislodge
a particularly determined group.
1t is believed that nearly 40 were more
or less severely injured. Hints are
thrown out in some quarters that the
disorders were fomented by agents
provocateurs as until the sudden out
break the crowd had been quite peace

cAsrELLANE IN POLITICS.
Anna Gould's Husband May Contest 6
Parliamentary Seat.

Ehrhhmehtdry seat
PARIS, Oct. ia deputation from
the town of Castellana, in Basses Alpes.
On the Verdon, has invited Comte Boni
face de Castellane to contest its parlia-
mentary seat at the next election
against NJ. Francois Deloncle, the well
known deputy.
An election campaign between the
Count of Castellane and NJ. Deloncle
would probably develop some interest
Ing features.
That aggressive deputy is one of the
most active opponents of England's
colonial policy and has never hesitated
to criticise the government for any lack
of watchfulness over British encroach-
ments on French interests.
He scouts the idea of an entente cor
dale with Great Britain and has hith-
erto based his appeals to his constitu-
ents upon his uncompromising opposi-
tion to England's policy on the Nile and
the Niger.
During the discussion of the NADIA
gascar credits last December he assert
ed that Great Britain led France into
the siege of Antwerp, the Crimean war
and the loss of Syria. He predicted that
If England went to Khartum she would
not stay there, as the Dervishes, re-
pulsed by the Congo Free State. the
French and the English, would reform
between Lake Tchad and the upper
Nile and continue to cause trouble un-
til the khedive's authority was restored
by the naturalization of the entire Nile
basin. France" he said, must make
Great Britain respect her rights and
treaties and diplomacy can never bring
that about"
The Count of Castellane has not hith-
erto given evidence of special aptitude
for serious affairs. Prior to wedding
Miss Anna Gould he lived the life OF
frivolous young Frenchman, and II he
is now turning his attention to politics
his tastes and his habits must have un-
dergone radical transformation.

PUT UNDER A BAN.
Philadelphia Educationists on
Victor Hugo.
SAY LIES MTSERABLES" is IMMORAL.
And Consequently Enter a Decided Pro-
test Against Its Being Put on the
List OF French Books For

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 49, = Les
Miserables," generally acknowledged to
he the masterpiece of French litera-
ture, the most important product of
Victor Hugo's fertile brain and ranking
with the best classics in the literature
Of the world, has come under the ban
Of educational conservatism!
The committee of the board of edu-
cation on the Girls High school has
, declared against it, and henceforth the
story of unfortunate Fantine, her child
Cosette and Jean Vatican must be rel
sgated to dark closets, where the High
school students cannot find it.

High school, he did not anticipate the
sensation which the suggestion would
create.
Chairman Dr. Thomas G. Morton of
that committee cast a critical eye over
the list and spied Les Miserables" in
French. He at once declared that he
must object to at least one book asked
for, mentioning it. He had read it and
regarded it as decidedly improper to
put in the hands of girls in the High
school. He proposed that it be stricken
from the list.
Principal Rorer replied that he had
not read the edition to be used. but said
it was for the use of the French classes
and had been suggested by the head of
that department, Miss G. Dalcour.
Mr.. Rorer was seen afterward and
said: "I do not care to go deeply into
the matter until l can see Miss Dalcour.
