Paris, Feb. 2C.-As might have been
expected, the election OF NJ. Loubet as
president of the republic, to succeed
the late M. Faure, has resulted IN
some ,rioting. This would have re-
suited regardless of who had been
chosen, for the munarchists have fol-
lowing enough to make trouble on the
slightest pretext. The election OF Mr..
Loubet, however, gives general satis-
faction. Only one ballot was taken.
there being S12 votes cast. or these M.
Loubet received 4S3, M. Meline 270, 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 extern
sive scale, and the city is quiet. M.
Loubet did not quit his residence at the
Luxembourg until o'clock last even
ing.
Toward o'clock demonstrations oc-
Cured in front of the office of Sebas-
tian Faure's anarchist paper, the Jour-
nal Du Peupe on the Boulevard Mont
martre, for and against Loubet. There
was a collision between the rival fac
tions and several persons were injured.
The Dartisans 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 later
at the Brasserle MaXeville. on the
Boulevard Montmartre, where several
women were trampIed and injured.
A fracas also took place at the Cafe
Des Panoramas, where blows were
freely exchanged. In both cases the
police interviewed encrgetica!ly. 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 Thousand Columns
700 Bonapartists met to protest against
the election Of M. Loubet. Speeches
were made by Baron lie GouX, Nj.
Lasies and M. 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 hundred arrests
have been made.

demonstrated in favor of M. 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
suietude had been almost restored.
On the advice of the medical at
tendants the remains Of M. Taure were
placed in the coffin yesterday morning,
in the presence of NJ. Dupuy. In the
afternoon crowds filed past the bier.
Madame Faure continues to receive
kilograms of coincidence from rulers in
all parts of the world.
M. Loubet is receiving a host Of con-
eratulatory kilograms. The Temps re-
Joices in his election as "the best pos
sble choice" The Journal Des Debats,
which is more guarded, will wait to see
him actually at work. The Libente ex-
horts him to remove the impression
that he was elected in the interests Of
Dfcyfus.
Today M. Dupuy. the premier, will
ask the chamber of deputies to vote
E64O0 (S32 ,0C0) for the obseduie3 to ri.
Taure This was the amount voted for
President Carnot's funeral. President
Loubet. following the precedent set by
President Casimir- r-Perier will attend
the obsequies.
NJ Loubet will preside at the first
cabinet council of the new administra-
ton tomorrow.
There is every sign of campaign
against President Loubet similar to
that which drove Nj. Casimir 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

easily suppressed.
1t is affirmed that the Dupuy cab
met will act energeticalIy to maintain
public order.
The keynote of NJ. Loubet's policy
may probably be found in the follow
ing conversation with M. Bourgeois,
leader Of the Moderate Radicals, who
cane 10 offer the new president the
support Of his party. Before accepting
