PARIS, June l2.-President Loubet has
had his revenge for last Sundays out
rage at Auteuil When he drove to
Iongchamps yesterday to attend the
grand prix he was the hero OF grand
demonstration expressing i.self in one
form or another ;llon. the whole route
from the Elysee palaca to the race
course. He re,nn:.sad only a quarter OF
an hour, jusg long enough to witness
the race, ;.nd having congratulated the
owner OF the winner, rtstllel to the
Elysee, where he arrived ut O'Clock
without So seiGl insi ient.
The rsvls list ;.slS socialist organs
summoned their readers to assemble
along the thor y sares to be traversed
by the president and his party and from
noon thousands OF people set out from
Montmartre, Balleville aud other work
ing class districts i'll small bands, Wear
ing small artificial red flower in the
buttonhole and marched across Paris,
taking up positions along the route.
Salused on Every Side.
They gave M. Loubet a tremendous
ovation, combining their cries almost en-
tirely to "Vive Loubet' and give La
Republique. The president did not
hear discordant cry, although there
were one or two scuffles before and after
he passed between the police and an oc-
casional hotheaded Dreyfusard, who
tried to shout "Abas Loubet," and was
Immediately pounced upon by a swarm
of policemen. Although the visit passed
off quietly, the government was pre-
pared for every eventuality, the whole
district between the Elysee and Long
champs literally teeming with troops
and police. A policeman was stationed
every dozen yards along the whole
route and there were squadrons of dra-
goons, armed with lances, and mounted
republican guards at all important
points.
Longchamps resembled military
camp. Battalions of infantry, squad
rons of dragons and republican guards
were distributed all around the course.
1t is estimated that there were $1,000
soldiers and police under arms. NJ.
Loubet practically drove through q
double hedge Of steel.
Journalists Roughly Handled.
Later in the evening disorderly scenes
occurred outside the office of the Intran-
sigente, M. Rochetort's paper. Several
journalists were roughly handled and
eventually arrested.
At late hour last evening there was
considerable effervescence along the
boulevards, where the traffic was much
impeded. A few police charges were
necessary in the vicinity Of the Office Of
the Libre Parole. Several persons were
injured.
The only grave incident of the day oc-
CURED after the president had returned
to the Elysee, at one Of the garden res
taurants, the Pavilion d 'Armenonville.
About quarter past five, when the estab-
lishment was full of customers, some
body made an Objectionable remark
concerning the president. The people
took sides and regular fight ensued.
Bottles, glasses, decanters, tables and
chairs were hurled about.
The throng quickly swelled to several
thousands. The windows Of the cafe
We're smashed and the struggle was con-
tinued within. Finally the mounted
police arrived, cleared the neighborhood
and closed the cafe Several persons
We're injured, including number Of
| policemen.
Socialists Uphold the President.
Several of the chamber Of deputies
who attended the races are unanimous
in praising the wise and calm attitude
of the populace there. The socialist
leaders were the first to exhort their
friends to display moderation. NJ.
Jaures more than once INTERVIEWED to
prevent the enthusiasm of his followers
developing into disorder. "We forget
our differences here,'' he said, ITO as
serlble around the president Of the re-
public.
| One OF the features of the day was an
unusually large gathering Of deputies
and municipal functionaries at Long
champs, less to witness the races than to
attest their adherence to the existing
regime. ALI the ministers were loudly
cheered when going and returning. OF
| the 40 persons arrested only a. small
number have been retained in custody.
NJ. Loubet expressed a wish that all
who had been arrested merely because
| of seditious cries should, SO far as pos
sible, be liberated. Two policemen
were injured by demonstrators who
were trying to rescue friends from ar
rest. One, detective, was very rough
| ~ used.
