The Insults of the Royalists at Auteuii
Swept Away by the Tremendous Ove-
ton at Long Champs.

PARIS, June 11.-President Loubet
has had his revenge for last Sundays
outrage at Auteuil When he drove to
LongChamps today to attend the Grand
PriX he was the hero of a great popular
demonstration expressing itself in one
form or another along the whole route
from the Elysee Palace to the race
course. He remained only a quarter of
an hour, just long enouh to witness the
race and having congratulated the own
err of the winner, returned to the Elysee,
where he arrived at 4 o'clock without
special incident.
The revisionists and socialist organs
summoned their readers to assemble
along the thoroughfares to be traversed
by the President and his party, and
from the hour of noon thousands of
demonstrators set out from Montmar-
| ire, Belleville and other working class
quarters in big organized bands, all
wearing a small, artificial red flower in
the buttonhole, and marched across
Paris, taking up positions along the
avenue des Champs Elysees and the
avenue du Bots de Boulogne. They gave
NJ. Loubet a tremendous ovation, con-
filming their cries almost entirely to
"Vive Loubet!" and give la Republi-
que!' The President did not hear a
dscordant cry, although there were one
or two scuffles before and after he pass
| ed between the police and an occasional
| hot headed -Dreyfusard, who tried
to shout "A bas Loubet!" and was i'm
mediately bounced upon by a stalwart
| policeman.

The Diocesan Magazine for July,
just issued, says:
"If, as stated by the Hawaiian Star
of June 6, Bishop Thompson, of Mis-
sissippi mot Louisiana) intends pay
ing visit to the Islands, it is safe to
say that his visit will be wholly un-
official. 1t would be contrary to the
Constitution of the Church in the
United States for him to act here in
the manner indicated by the Star. Art
of the Constitution enacts as fol-
lows:
50 Every Bishop of this Church shall
confine the exercise of his Episcopal
office to his proper Diocese, unless re-
quested to ordain, or confirm. or per-
form any other act of the Episcopal
Office in another Diocese by the Ec-
clesiastical authority thereof
