Paris, July 2S.-The demonstration
made yesterday in connection with the
decree of Premier Combes ordering the
closing of the congregationist schools
proved TO be quite as much of a mani
festation in support of the government
as in opposition to its anti-clerical
measures. The crowd which gathered
in the Place de Ia Concorde numbered
1900 persons. while as many more
thronged the Champs Elysee.
The clerical and anti-clerical forces
about equally divided the gatherings
The former were distinguishable by
the red, white and blue paper flowers
which they wore, while the latter
spOrted red eglantines.
Though many fights occurred, they
never became general, nor was any
person seriously injured. An impos-
ing force of police and mounted muni-
cipal guards had much trouble in keep
Ing the manifestations constantly NOV

charge to prevent the crowd becoming
too dense. On the whole. the crowds
were good natured and mainly confined
themselves to shouting Liberty, lib

want the sisters" To which the anti
clericals replied. "vive le Republique,"
and Down with the priests"
