gram-special Teegram.)-Paris was today
in state of siege. The anti -Loubet demon
strations are being resumed with greater
spirit and with better organization than
last night. Traffic along the boulevards is
stopped.
Cavalry with drawn swords was engaged
this evening in clearing the streets and
trply- augmented bodies of police are cap
turing all the stragglers from wandering
mobs.

Already the poorly lighted side streets pre-
sent scenes of greatest hubbub and confu-
sion. / have seen half a dozen Engishmen
with their ladies driven to the shelter OF
private houses. One pair was pursued with
shouts of "Scelerats Anglais' as the door
closed behind them Cries of Panama,
"Vive Loubet," "Conspuez Loubet revision,
"Vive lArmee bas les juifes,' fill the air
There is a hum of voices from the opera
corner to near Porte St. Denis and every
where animation and terror.
Want Loubet to Resign.
Investigation proves the Sorel story orig
mated in the fact that M. Faure passed
Ash Wednesday at the house of the young
and beautiful French duchess whom he
greatly admired AS to the events of Thurs
day 1t is true that Nine. Faure and Mile
Lucie were both informed early OF the III
ness, but Lockroy says they had to be put
out of the room they were crying so loudly
1t was specially noticeable today that the
head of the deceased is greatly dishgured
by marks of the cupping and bleeding re-

by the Associated Press.
Police measures for the maintenance Of
order have been taken on an extensive
scale M Loubet did not quit his residence
at the Luxembourg until 6 o'clock this
evening,
Toward o'clock demonstrations occurred
in front of the office of Sebastian Faure's
anarchist paper, the Journal du Peuple, on
the Boulevard Montmare, for and against
Loubet. There a collision between the
rival factions and several persons were in
jured The partisans Of the newly elected
president were worsted in the conflict and
moved off to the Cafe Brebant, where they
were again attacked and dispersed by their
opponents Many arrests were made
Similar encounters occurred at about 8
O'Clock at the offices of the Libre Parole.
In the course of the demonstrations the
Dreyfusites attempted to invade the office
of the Petit Journal. Finding the doors
barred against them they smashed the win
dows.
At the hall of Thousand Columns 700
Bonapartsts met to protest against the
election of NJ. Loubet. Speeches were made
by Baron lie GouX, NJ. Lasies and M. Cuneo
d'Ornano. Several persons who interrupted
the proceedings were elected. When the
meeting broke up there were some slight
disorders and several arrests were made.
MODS Throughout the City.
There were more serious disorders late in
the night at the Brasserie MaXeville, on the
Boulevard Montmare, where several
women were tramped upon and injured. A
fracas also took place at the Cafe des Pan
Dramas, where blows were freely exchanged.
In both cases the police intervened energet-
ically, arresting many.
At IL o'clock an enormous crowd demon
stratng In favor of M. Zola toward mid
night broke the windows of the Rothschilds
Office in the Rue Lafeitte, and another group
wrecked the offices of the Anti-Juif. Minor
disturbances took place in various parts Of
the city but the crowds gradually dispersed
and at midnight quiet had been almost re-
stored
Tomorrow NJ. Dupuy, the premier, will
ask the Chamber OF Deputies to vote $6 400
for the obsequies TO NJ. Faure. This was
the amount voted for President Carnot's
funeral
President Loubet. following the precedent
set by President Casimr Perer, will at
tend the obseques.
M. Loubet will preside at the first cabinet
council of the new administration on Tues
day.
Crowds View the Remains.
The remains OF M. Faure were placed in
the coffin this morning in the presence Of
NJ. Dupuy. This afternoon crowds filed past
tho bier.
Nine, Faure continues to receive tele-
grams of coincidence from rulers in all parts
of the world
NJ. Loubet is receiving a host OF congratu-
latory kilograms The Temps rejoces in
his election las the best possible choice"
Tho Journal des Debats, which is more
guarded. will wait to see him actually at
work.
The Liberte exhorts him to relieve the
impression that he was elected in the inter
ests of Dreyfus.
Altogether 100 arrests have been made in
connection with today's disturbances. There
is every sign of campaign against Presi-
dent Loubet similar to that which drove NJ.
Casimir- Perler to resign.
Clearly La Patrie Franchise will leave no
stone unturned to achieve this object its
chief ground of objection being that the
president is Dreyfusard. 1t is affirmed that
tho Dupuy cabinet will act energetically to
maintain public order The keynote OF M.
Loubets policy may be found in the follow
ing conversation with NJ Bourgeois. leader
of the moderate radicals, who came TO offer
90 the new president the support OF his
party. Before accepting it NJ. Loubet said :
You are doubtless aware that one OF the
