Were Thrown-Comtesse CasteIlanc Takes Part-13O Arrests Made. Paris, June 4.-President Loubet, &C., companied by the premier, M. Dupuy,
 and the chief of the military house.
 hold, General M. c. Halloud, drove to
 the Nuteuil races this afternoon, close
 ly followed by Mme Loubet in Q sec-
 ond landau. As they drove along the
 Avenue Des Champes-Elysees the
 crowd bowed respectfully, but on ar
 irving at the Auteuil track they were
 met by a violent demonstration, evil
 dently organized and directed against
 the president. There was a storm of
 hoots, yells and cries of Panama" "A
 Bas Loubet,' and "vive rArmee" A
 few shouts of "Vive Loubet' were
 drowned in the clamor. A strong force
 of the disturbers including man who
 tried to force his way to the presi-
 dents carriage.
 During the second race the clamor in-
 creased to violence and was plainly di-
 rected by a committee of the League
 of Patriots, collected with their sup
 porters both before and behind the
 presidential stand, around which a for
 midable affray proceeded. During the grand steeplechase many blows were struck and several policemen were in- jured in their endeavors to prevent an invasion of the presidential stand At the crisis of the excitement, while shouts of 'Vive l'Armee" and. "Vive Deroulede" were heard on all sides Count .Chrlstiani rushed toward the president brandishing a stick and di- rected blow against him, striking his hat. The crowd rushed upon Christi- ami, who only escaped severe handling by being taken under police protection. President Loubet remained all the while quite unmoved talking to the premier, while the officers of his military house. hold were defending him against vio- lence.
 Finally after thirty arrests had been made the prefect of police ordered the Republican guard to surround the pres idential stand. The principal leaders of the demonstration were M. Joseph Lasies, anu-Semite and nationalist dep uty for Giers and NJ. Firmin Faure. anti-Semite and nationalist deputy for Gran, Algeria.
 Police Inspector Grllliere had his head seriously wounded in the melee and President Loubet has since decorated him with the cross of the Legion of Honor in recognition of his devotion to duty.
 On returning to the Elysee Palace, M. Loubet received many symrathizing callers. It seems certain that the dem- onstration was organized by the Jeun- esse Royaliste the Ligu Des Patriotes and the anti-Semites, the rallying sign being a carnation in the button hole Count Christian is a member of the Steeplechase society, a very select body, and his conduct has produced the great est indignation.
 A special cabinet council was sum- moned at 9 o'clock this evening to con- slider the situation and important meas ures were concerted to be submitted to the president at another council to-mor- row for the preservation of order The who were in session until ii o'clock, maintain strict reserve 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 re- FNx, lao nt,I &i,. state"
 The events of the day will lead to an important discussion In the chamber of deputies, where the government will de- mand a vote of confidence. There is some fear of a renewal of the disturb ances, although the police precautions are of the most thorough character and at late hour this evening, more or less excitement is still observable on the Further accounts show that the whole race corse, particularly | the enclosure, witnessed scenes of the widest excitement. Comtesse Boni De Castelane, who was Miss Anna Gould | If New York city, placed herself at the | head of the Jeunesse Royaliste and l up and down the lawn shout ng "Vive L'Armee" Comte Boni De | Castellane and his brother Jean were but soon liberated. Comte De Dion when arrested, resisted and ought with his cane. smashing it on policeman's head and causing the jew alled top to fly off, striking a journalist. He was detained in custody. Altogether about 130 arrests were made, one being hat of M. Dansette, deputy mayor of 
 Demonstrations and counter-demon- trations continued until M. Loubet left he race course at 4:20 D. m., the arrival f his carriage being the signal for an tumut. The mounted ,uards with difficulty opened passage trough the crowd, the president being pursued to the last with hoots and yels 1ven eggs were thrown. It was notc- worthy, however, that the people gener- lily cheered him loudly, the cheers in- reasing as he drove toward the Elysee, which he reached safely at 445 D. m. During the demonstrations number f hats labelled resignation" were licked up.
 Comte Christiani was thrown, tram Jed upon and severely bruised in the nelee. He is a grandson of general ,ho was well known during the empire. t seems that it was intended to give he Marchand mission a big ovation. The government got wind of the affair ,,d Japt Tarnhand oI1t of the way aI-
