as a Pretext For Disorders,
A HUNDRED PERSONS ARRESTED.


Though Accused OF Being "Dreyfus-
ard" the New Chief Magistrate Has
Retained the Dupuy Cabinet-Assail-
ed by Paris Newspapers.
Paris, Feb. 2O.-As might have been
expected, the election OF NJ. Loubet as
president Of the republic. to succeed
the late NJ. Faure, has resulted in
some riotlnR. This would have re-
suited regardless OF who had been
chosen for the monarchists have fol-
lowing enough to make trouble on the
slightest pretext. The election OF Mr..
Loubet. however, gives general salts
faction. Only one ballot was taken
there being Sl2 votes cast or these NJ.
Loubet received 4s3. NJ. Meline go, and
so were scattering. President Loubet
has shown his desire TO avoid radical
changes by retaining the Dupuy cabi-
net In office.
Police measures for the maintenance
of order have been taken on an eXten-
sive scale, and the city is quiet. NJ.
Loubet did not Quit his residence at the
Luxembourg until o'clock last even
ing.
Toward 7 o'clock demonstrations oc-

tian Faure's anarchist paper, the Jour
nal Du Peuple on the Boulevard Mont
martre. for and against Loubet. There
was a collision between the rival fac
tions and several persons were injured.
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
o'clock at the offices OF the Libre
Parole, and more serious disorders latcr
at the Brasserie MaXeville. on the
Boulevard Montmartre, where several
women were trampled and injured.
A fracas also took place at the Cafe
Des Panoramas, where blows were
freely exchanged. In both cases the
police intervened energetlcally, arrest
ing many.
In the course Of the demonstration
the Dreyfusards attempted to Invade
the offices Of the Petit Journal. Find
ing the doors barred against them
they smashed the windows.
At the Hall of a Thousand Columns
700 Bonapartlsts met to protest against
the election of NJ. Loubet. Speeches
were made by Baron lie Goux, NJ.
Lasies and NJ. Cuneo dOrnano. Sew
eral persons who interrupted the pro-
ceedings were elected. When the meet
ing broke up there were some slight dis
! orders. Altogether a hundred arrests
have been made.
At IL o'clock an enormous crowd
! demonstrated in favor of NJ. Zola- To-
ward midnight crowds broke the win
dows Of the Rothschilds offices, in the
Rue Lafitte. and another group wreck
! ed the offices of the Anti-Juif. Minor
| disturbances took place in various
| parts of the city. but the crowds grad
ually dispersed, and at midnight
quietude had been almost restored.
On the advice of the medical at
| tendants, the remains of NJ. Faure were
| placed in the coffin yesterday morning,
in the presence of NJ. Dupuy. In the
afternoon crowds fled past the bier.
Madame Faure continues to receive
kilograms of coincidence from rulers in
all parts Of the world.
NJ. Loubet is receiving a host Of con-
gratulatory kilograms. The Temps re-
| toices in his election as "the best pos
sible choice" The Journal Des Debats,
which is more guarded. will wait to see
a
horts him to remove the impression
that he was elected in the interests Of
Dreyfus,
Today NJ Dupuy, the premier, will
ask the chamber Of deputies to vote
s6 400 1882, ,O0O) for the obsequles to NJ
Faure. This was the amount voted for
President Carnot's funeral. President
Loubet, following the precedent set by
President Casimir-Perier, will attend
the obsequies.
NJ. Loubet will preside at the first
cabinet council of the new administra-
tion tomorrow.
There is every sign OF a campaign
against President Loubet similar to
that which drove M. CaslmIr- Perier to
resign. The La Patrie Franchise
will leave no stone unturned to achieve
this object, its chief ground Of object
| ing being that the president Is a Drey-
! fusard. The street demonstrations
which have occurred have not been
spontaneous but were evidently or
ganized, and so far they have been
easily suppressed.
1t is affirmed that the Dupuy cab
met will act energetlcally to maintain
public order
! The keynote Of NJ Loubefs policy
may probably be found in the follow
! ing conversation with NJ. Bourgeois,
| leader Of the Moderate Radicals, who
| came to offer the new president the
support of his party. Before accepting
| It NJ. Loubet said;
you are doubtless aware that one
| OF the first enactments OF any min
istry Of mine Will be a stringent law
! TO stem the current of insults, infamy
| and defamation which now befouls
! France. I fear that, perhaps, legisla-
tion Of this kind will scarcely tally with
| the radical Ideas"
NJ. Bourgeois answer was a cheer
| ful acqulesCence.
