PEELED the Jesults in 1880 Demonstrations
In favor OF the nuns and the teaching fri

places in the provinces, where the pre-
fects themselves were at the schools and
ordered that the institutions be closed.
Up to the present, however, no serious IN.

leaders are in the forefront of the efer.
Iesceucc in Paris. Considerable antIpathy
has been worked up on behalf Of tine nuns
and Their schools have been made the par.
ticular objects Of demonstrations. The
clericals called upon their sympathizers to
meet outside of the school conducted by
the sisters Of st. Vincent de Paul, in the
northwest quarter OF Paris, which was
closed this evening and Il considerable
crowd gathered there, compelling large
bouy OF police and mounted municipal
guards to form a Gordon In the streets

counter demonstrators, VINO replied 20 the
clerlcals' cries OF Long live the good sis
tors aud "Nivc la liberte with Down
with the priests and Long live the re-
public.
While considerable sympathy is felt with
the sisters, personally, Prime Minister
Combes undoubtedly feels that he Is sup
ported by the mass of the country and Is
not likely to recede from the position he
has taken The trouble Is caused mainly
by the ambiguity Of the wording of the
law of associations which has led branches
OF the congregations such as the schools
now closed 10 suppose that their position
was lega'lzed by the request for authorize
ton made by headquarters. This was even
the Interpretation Of the matter accepted
by VI. Waldeck- Rousseau, the former
premier. but Prime Minister Combes takes
contrary view.
The Temps takes NJ Combes severely to
task The establishments now closed. says

enough lag schools to receive all the chill

The Temps asks what the government

to take the trouble to close them with such
great noise.
