uproar, in declaring honest men were
| arrested yesterday. This was followed
by shouts of Down with Loubet," and
a scene of wild confusion ensued. The

was to address a respectful greeting to
zen who was, and now remains, the
guaranty of republican community
(Cheers.)
Continuing, the premier said that

of the reactionary party protested
against him and called for his resig
nation and proceeded to enlarge upon
the coarseness of such demonstration
against an invited guest" (Cheers)
The premier then said:
"The representatives of elegance and
good taste have given us an idea Of
what France may expect from their
dleness and Incidence We knew Sc
cret meetings had taken place and
that preparations We're made for DEM
onstrations. We took asures for the
presidents protection in driving to and
from the race course, and nothing oc-
CURED on the way" One of the depu-
ties cried

M. Dupuy retorted:
mo. but your friends hid behind the
women
Protests from the rightists followed,
and M. Lascie, anti-semte, cried:
''Loubet and Delcasse (the minister
of foreign affairs, hid behind police
men,
This statement was followed by an
uproar lasting several minutes. When
comparative quiet had been restored,
M. Dupuy said:
I'VE stationed police at the paddock
with orders to intervene Immediately
in case of a demonstration, and did so,
though they met with much opposi-
ton and protests
You have the evil eye" cried M
Lascie, remark which caused laugh
ter. M. Dupuy continued:
"All the police did their duty and
an individual threw himself at the pres
ytyb0 raI
calm. The proceedings at Auteil We're
all the more disgusting because they
occurred in the presence of foreign rep
resentatives The persons who have
been arrested will be examined by a
magistrate, who will decide whether
there was conspiracy. We are salts
fed the accused are members of clubs
which the government has decided to
close Yesterdays demonstrations pre-
tended to represent France in the |
army, but the public was against them. |
We are supporters of the republic and |
republicans do not mix with those who |
have only borrowed her name in order |
to better destroy her. They have given
us a countersign we intend to uphold. |
If you give us your confidence we shall |
know how to defend our institutions
from those who attack them.' CAP |
