 LOUbET WILL BE PROSECUTED
M Blanc, Peect of PoGe Charges Count Christian With COw
 ardce in Crushing the Presidents Hal,
HOW LOUBET WAS
 ATTACKED BY MOB

President Loubet. accompanied by the pren ed, M Dupuy, and the chief of the nIlfts.y household, General McBailereud, drove to the Auteuil races yesterday af- ternoon, closely followed by Madame Lou bet in a second landau. As they drave along the avenue des Champs Elysee the crowd bowed respectfully, but on arriving at Auteuil they were met by a violent demonstration, evidently organized, and directed against the president.
 There was a storm of hoots, calls and cries of Panama" "abas Loubet' and "vive rarmee." A few of "vive Loubet" were drowned in the clamor.
 A strong force of police kept order and arrested many of the disturbers, includ- ing man who tried to force his way to the presidents carriage.
 During the second race the c1amor in- creased to violence and was plainly di- rected by a committee of the League of Patriots, collected with their supporters, both before and behind the presidential stand, around which a formidable affray proceeded.
 During the grand steeplechase many blows were struck, and several policemen were injured in their endeavors to pre- vent an invasion of the presidential stand. AL the crisis of the excitement while shouts of "vive Parmee" and "vive De Rouede" were heard on all sides, Count Christiani rushed toward the president. brandishing stock and directed a blow against him, striking his hat.
 The crowd rushed upon Christiani, who only escaped severe handling by being taken under police protection.
 Loubet Was Calm
 President Loubet remained all the while quite unmoved, talking to the premier. while officers of his military household were defending him against violence Fi- nally, after thirty arrests had been made, the prefect of police ordered the republican guards to surround the presidential stand. The principal leaders of the demonstra- tion were M. Joseph Lasies, anti-Semte and nationalist, deputy for Geers and M Firmin. Faure, anti-Semite and nationalist, deputy for Gran, Algeria.
 Police Inspector Grilliere had his head seriously wounded in the melee, and Presi- dent Loubet has since decorated him with the cross of the Legion of Honor in recog- hilton of his devotion to duty On return ing to the Elysee palace, M Loubet re- ceived many sympathizing callers. It seems certain that the demonstration was organ ized by the Jiunesse Royalists the Lgue des Patrootes and the anti-Semites, the rallying sign being a carnation in the but ,tonhole.
 Count Chrstiani is a member of the Steeplechase Society, a very select body, and his conduct has produced the greatest indignation.
 A special cabinet council was summoned at o'clock last evening to consider the situation and important measures were concerted to be submitted to the president at another council today for the preserva- ton of order The ministers, who were in session until il o'clock, maintain strict re- serve, as to the nature of these measures, but a semi-official note has been issued, which says:
 "The government will act with the greatest energy and will impose respect for the president and for the state"
 It is reported that a number of fresh arrests will be made.
 Causes Discussion
 The event of the day will lead to an important discussion in the chamber of deputies when the government will de- mand a vote of confidence.
 There is some fear of a renewal of the disturbances, although the police precau- tions are of the most thorough character and at a late hour last evening more or less excitement was still observable on the boulevards.
 Further accounts show that the whole race course, particularly the enclosure, witnessed scenes of the widest excite ment.
 Comtesse Boni de Castellane, who was Miss Anna, Gould, of New York City, placed Herself at the head of the Jeunesse Royal ssts and marched up and down the lawn Shouting ''vive farmee." Comte Boni de Sastellane and his brother Jeane were ar rested, but soon liberated.
 Comte de Lion, when arrested, resisted and fought with his cane, smashing it on
