 WITHOUT DISORDER
IN A FEW PLACES, HOWEVER, THE GENDARMES MET WITH ISTANcE-BRoKE DOWN A DOOR WITH AN AXE.

Paris, August 1.-The expulsion of the sisters from their schools were continued in the provinces today and in most cases were conducted without trouble but a few instances of disorder have been re- corded, mostly from Brittany and Savoie.

 At Ravoire, near Chambery, Savoie, the police found the school defended by a rampant of stones. Masons were sum moned to demolsh the wall. The assem- bled crowd threatened to kill them if they did so and the masons declined to work.
 There was some disorders at St. Alban, also near Chambery.
 At this city the sisters left the school on the arrival of the gendarmes and pre- ceded by two flags draped with crepe and followed by a group of school children, shouting Hong live the sisters" they marched into Chambery.
 Several companies of soldiers who were stationed at Brest have gone to protect the police commissioners who are expell- ing the sisters from the various locali- ties in Ministers where the peasants are still determined to resist the expulsions. Abbe Gayraud. Catholic republican mem- Der of the chamber of deputies from Fin isters wearing the tri-color deputy s sash, addressed a meeting at Ploudanel today He urged the sisters to compel the gendarmes to eXpel them one by one from the schools but not to use force.

While the trial was proceeding Colonel Vinson asked the judge If he would stop the trial for a moment and grant a private conversation between the union officers and officials of the company who were in the court room. The judge consented and after a conference lasting an hour the judge announced that the trial would not pro- ceed further and ordered both prisoners released, stating that both sides had reached a satisfactory agreement and that the strike was declared off
 All the men on the various divisions rat flied the agreement later and traffic on all the lines was resumed this evening.

PEASANT STRIKE SPREADING.
Districts Which Have Not Hitherto
 Been Affected Now Troubled.

Vienna, August 5.-The strike of Ga- lician peasants is spreading to districts which have heretofore not been affected, and there have been many conflicts be- tween the peasants and the military. A detachment of Uhlans attacked 800 peas ants at Potherings; many of the latter were wounded and the soldiers made 173 arrests. The prisoners were confined over night, densely crowded in stable, and were taken to jail the next day in a fainting condition. not having tasted food in twenty-four hours.
 Three Ruthenian members of the chamber of deputies have protested in this matter to Dr. von Koerber. the Aus trian premier, declaring the peasants to be indifferent whether they die at the hands of drunken gandarmes, brutal soi- diers or the legal executor. This pro- test alleges that officials are siding with the landlords instead of acting as media tors in the trouble.
