Closing Of the Religious
Schools.
MANY WERE ARRESTED
Clerical and Anti.Demonstration Re-
suit DisastrousIy to Many-strong
cordons of Police Check the Crowds
and Avert General Disorder.

Paris, July 2S.-Many persons injur-
ed, ten seriously, and hundreds arrest
ed, are the net results of the street dis
turbance of yesterday in which both
the clerical and anti-clerical demon
strations brought about by closing un-
authorized religious schools, were
made.
Immense Crowds.
The crowd which gathered in the
Place de la Concorde numbered $4,000
persons, while as many more thronged
the Champs -Elysees. The clerical and
anti-clerical forces about equally di-
vided the gatherings. The former were
distinguishable by the red, white and
blue paper flowers which they wore,
while the latter sported red eglantines.
cordons of Police.
The clericals made several attempts
to reach the Place Beauveau, on which
the Elysee and the ministry of the in
terror are situated, but were prevented
from doing SO by strong cordons of po-
LICE and municipal guards, which were
stationed at all the approaches in order
to prevent demonstrations in front of
these buildings.
when group of thirty women, some in
carriages and some on foot, headed by
Mesdames Reille, de Nun, Cibiel and
de Pommerol, attempted to reach the
ministry of the interior in order to pre-
sent to Premier Combes petition on
behalf of the sisters. The police, how
ever, refused to allow them to pass,
Subsequently the clericals made an
angry rush on the Gordon guarding
the Avenue Gabrielle, and the soldiers
had to use the butts of their guns to
keep back the crowd.
| Crowd Throws Chairs.
| Another violent incident occurred
on the Champs Elysees, where the
crowd began throwing the small iron
chairs bordering the sidewalks among
the feet of the horses of the mounted
guards. One horse fell. injuring his
rider. A number of prominent nation
alists, including Deputies Milleveye
and Auffray, and several municipal
councillors were conspicuous in the
crowd and were much ovated by their
followers and hooted by the anti-cler-
icals.
By Z o'clock the crowd began to thin
out and an hour later the Place de la
Concorde and the Champs Elysees had
resumed their customary appearance,
/ A light shower fastened the dispersal
of the manifestants. About 100 arrests
were made.
The fact that throughout the day
vehicular traffic was not interrupted
shows how we'll the police handled the
great unruly crowd with which they
had to deal.
