Club de France of which the Comte
de Dion. who was one OF the ring
leaders at Auteuil Sunday, Is presi-
dent. A police commissary thereupon
proceeded to the clubs premises, on
the Place de La Concorde, and cleared
the members out. after which he af
fixed seals to the doors.
Vigorous measures have been taken
to suppress demonstrations. Mounted
detachments Of Republican Guards
| have been stationed about the Place
de La Concorde, in the Rue de L'Elysee
and In the Rue des Tuileries.
The municipal council yesterday az
ternoon discussed the Auteuil affair,
and M. Blanc, prefect of police, an
nounced that 80 of those under arrest
would be prosecuted for insulting the
president. He animadverted severely
upon the cowardice of Count Chris

the president by accident in his at
tempt to escape from the melee. The

The Socialist and Radical deputies
in the lobbies of the chamber eagerly
discussed the measures adopted by the
cabinet and criticized them as made
quate. They demand the closure of all
Royalist clubs. The decision with
reference to General Mercier caused

their respectful esteem and of their
devotion to republican institutions.
The scenes at Auteuil on Sunday and
in the chamber of deputies yesterday
have only had the effect of increasing
the popularity of President Loubet and
of strengthening the hands of the gov
ernment. The promptitude of the pre-
mier, M. Dupuy, in carrying out his
promise to take measures to insure
justice as soon as the court of cassa-
tion had pronounced judgment is re-
garded as proving that he himself can
show a clean bill and that, though he
was premier at the time, General Mer-
cier kept him ignorant of the measures
adopted against Dreyfus.
Interviews with various high per-
sonages who witnessed the incident at
Auteuil are published, all testifying
to the savagery of the demonstration.

bet said to those who accompanied
him:
"All of my family opposed my be-
coming president, and l had no desire
to remain at the Elysee, but now that
it is dangerous to be the chief of state

enemies, if l have any, be convinced
that l shall accomplish my mission
