Disorder In Paris.

Paris, April 2s.-With cuirassler'
and mounted police patroling the streets
Paris, the city Of pleasure, today pre-
scented the appearance OF being 10 state
of siege. StroDg attachments of Its pc.
lice occupied many squares and gen.
darmes, armed with heavy night sticks,
kept the crowds in many thoroughfares
moving, adding to the excitement.
The most serious labor riots Paris has
faced for many days we're responsible for
the calling out of the mounted soldiers
and extra police forces. Strikes OF the
walters, bakers and other food-produciug
trades unions who attempted demonstra.
tons in the streets, caused riots 10
various quarters of the city. The worst
outbreak occurred before the annex to
the Labor Exchange. There thousands
of strikers and their sympathizers gath

cuiriassiers to disperse the mob. The

The DragO Doctrine.

London, April 23.-Ths announce
ment from Buenos Ayres that DR.. Luis
Drago, who, as foreign minister of Ar
genlius, advanced the Drago doctrine,
has been selected as one of Argentina
delegates to the coming Hague confe-
renee, is regarded by British statesmen
as practically notice TO the other powers
which will be represented at the Hague
that the Drago doctrine will be advanced
for adoption as a principle of Internal
iOnsl law.
DR.. Rogue Saeng Pena and Carlos
Rodriguez, who have been named with
DIR. Drago, are both strong supporters
of the doctrine.
Fears have been entertained that any
effort to foist the Drago doctrine on the
Hague conference would lead 10 a &C.
rious disagreement. Brie6y!stated, this
doctrion sets out that no power shall
employ force to collect q monetary
claim due q citizen of that power.
European nations, in view ofthe large
claims held by their subjects in South
American countries, do not look with
great favor on the doctrine and 1t is not
believed they will accept IL as a part OF
International law.

Former Secretary of the Treasury
Shaw. now president of the Carnegie
Trust Company, of New York, still
holds pessimisiic views entertained By
him shortly before retiring from Official
life. His business experience at New
York has not convinced him that pros
perity is becoming top heavy. "There
is halt in prosperity" he emphatically
declared Saturday afternoon, while in
Washington. Continuing he said: I'll
am not a calamity bowler, and we are
not going to have panic. There is a
halt which will continue for time.
When the onward march will be re-
sumed cannot be forecasted. | think
the halt is morely temporary. We have
been going at fast pace for many
months, and it is only natural that
,bere should be a period of stock-taking,
an interval of dizziness during which we
may look around and ascertain just
where we stand. During this period OF
comparative dulIness there may be some
readiusting going on, but do not see
the slightest indication OF widespread de-
preston or panic. The conditions are
not at hand to cause a panic. The coun-
try is all right and the people are all
right and we are going to have great
prosperity. 1t is only proper that we
should stop long enough TO take stock,
and have no doubt that as soon ss we
find out where we are we will decide that
the prosperity we have tasted was good
