president, brandishing a stick, and di-
rected blow against him, striking his
hat. The crowd rushed upon Chris
tiano, 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 mill
tary household were defending him
against violence. Finally, after 30 ar
rests had been made, the project of po-
lice ordered the republican guards to
surround the presidential stand.
Police Inspector Grilliere had his
head seriously wounded in the melee,
and President Loubet has since deco
rated him with the cross of the Legion
of Honor in recognition of his devotion
to duty. On returning to the Elysee
palace NJ. Loubet received many sym
pathiZing callers.
