 Blue Jackets are Landed. @
 The fire drove the people from the, building and. aided by part of the local military force, they defended their lives with rifles. The rioters then, evidently with & view to plunder, threatened to burn the business portion of the town.

ARE REJECTED
 AS A WHOLE No Authorizations to
 Preaching Orders. FRENCH DEPUTIES VOTE - The Government Program Adopted by BOA to 246. Eloquent Defenses of Religious Bodies by M. Plichon and Abbe
 Gayrand-Premier combss
 Says They are Reactionary.

Paris, March <2.-The Chamber of Deputies, by vote of so4 to a4e. tonight rejected all the applications for authori- zation of the religious preaching orders.
 The entire session today was devoted to discussion of the Government bill. which opposes the application of the preaching orders for authorization, and the Chamber, by Its vote refusing to pass the discussion of the clauses of the hill, thereby declined to consider the applics- tions separately for authorization to re- main in France, but rejected them all by single vote.
 Among these orders who are thus ex- pelled from France is the English Pas sionist Order, which conducted church In the Tvenue Hoche for English and American Catholics. and in behalf of which British Ambassador Monson and United States Ambassador Porter recent ly interested themselves.
 M. Plichon Speaks.
 M. Pilchon, member of the Catholic Party which rallied to the Republic, opened the debate with an eloquent ap- peal in favor of the preaching orders arguing that these orders, especially the Capuchins, had been the pioneers of civ ilization in all parts of the world and had contributed toward 1preadins French influence thr )ughout the East where they had made France beloved had created French schools and had aid ed in the development of French inter. ests. If they are suppressed, SC said | hnw hxr
 M. Rabier, the reporter of the bill. ex' plained the considerations which decided the refusal of authorization to the preaching orders. The iatter's only aim declared M. Rabier, was to accomplish political move and make the lay SO ciety subservient to their designs ant they must not be allowed to continue thu fatal work e- s -s44ss-s-saas 4zsa--s4s aaaits
 After Abbe Gayraud. Catholic Republi can, had further argued the cause of thu orders, Premier Combes briefly summed up the Governments case. He urget that there was no place in modern so ciety for the religious congregations. The country had regular clergy to whom tht concordat reserved the work of preach ing and Ne exercises of public worship The tendency of the religious orders wa! to substitute themselves for the regular clergy.
 Has War in His Gown. It was not peace, but war, that thu preaching monk brought in the folds O his gown. The monks had conducted { | campaign against the conquests of thu l Republic and against all republican prog | Tess. Their aim seemed to be to stimu | late a hatred of republican laws and tC make appeals for reactionary revolts.
 We have right" concluded the Pre- mier. ito refuse legal existence to thes congregations who only attack our in stitutions. The hour is a decisive one If you do not follow the Government fl the work we have undertaken. you will be turning back twenty years. and tha would be a mistake, which I am con | vinced the Republicans in this Chambel will not commit"
 The vote on the bill was then taken.

 Emergency.

Emergency.

The river rose two tenths in the past twentyfour hours, reading 49.7 on the gauge. or one-tenth lower than the highest stage in 1897. This rise does not allay the feeling of uneasi- ness, and planters in many places are preparing for every emergency.
 Steamboats are required to exercise ev- cry precaution and to steer clear of new levee work. These instructions are ham, perinE them in their relief work as pro visions and fodder must be delivered and the only way to do 1t Is by liRhtering 1t on barges.
