SCHOOL RIOTS IN PARIS.
Fighting and Disorder Mark the
Distribution of Prizes.

Paris, July 22.-After the distribu-
ton of prizes at a school belonging to
an unauthorized congregation in the
avenue Parmentier here to-day, vio-
lent speeches were made to the as
sembled crowds, denouncing the gov
ernment's action in closing the estab-
lishments of unauthorized congrega-
tons Fighting ensued, the crowds

who was the chief speaker, Deputy
Lerolle, CASTOR Merry and the Able
Partural were arrested.
Cope, Lerolle and Merry were later
released. Comte Urban de Maille,
who was among those taken into Gus
tody, was held for examination
Further disturbances and some ar
rests have occurred in other places.
The determined firmness with which
the government is carrying out the law
against unauthorized congregations is
flashing the Clericals to fury, which Gull
minated in to-day's disorderly demon
strations in Paris. Similar. though
less violent scenes accompanied the
closing of the schools and departure of
the teachers at other places AS a
matter of fact, however, the Clericals
are rnanifestly in a hopeless minority
throughout the country. Many munich
pal councils in ali sections of France,
including those of such important cities
as Lyons. Tours. Epernay and Beau
vais are voting resolutions approving
the governments action, congratulating
the ministry upon it's firmness, and
urging it to continue it's defense of
civil society against the encroachments
of the congregations.
The. government is certainly apply
ing the law with all possible modera-
ton and with the country behind 1t
will, it is believed, accomplish the
task undertaken before Parliament re-
assemblies. The Clericals will doubt
less continue their agitation, but the
movement is not likely to lead to any
practical result or cause serious dis
turbance of public order.
