Paris, June 4.-r-0Sunday.) President . Lu'betf accompanied by the premier, M. Dupuy, and the chief of the military household, drove to the AuteuM races this afternoon. .kjA.s they drove along the avenue dea Champs Elysees, the crowd behaved respectfully; but, on arriving: at Autueil they were met by violent demonstration evidently orga nized and directed against the presi dent. . . ! - There was a storm of hoots, yells and cries of "Panama," "A bas Lou bef and "Vive LArmee." A few shouts of "Vive Loubet" were drowned in. the clamor. The whole race course, particularly the enclosure, witnessed a scene of the wildest excitement. JAY GOULD'S DAUGHTER LEADER OF THE RIOTERS. Comitesse Bon I de CasteHane, who was Miss Anna Gould, of -New York city, placed he,rself at the head of the Jeunesse Royaliste and marched up and down the lawn" shouting "Vive Li'Armee." ' Comte Boni de Oastellane and his brother i Jean, were arrested, but soon liberated!. - Comte di Dion; when arrested, re sisted and fought with his cane. He was detained in custody Demonstrations; and counter demon strations continued until - M. Jlioubet left the race course at 4:30 o'clock p. m. The mounted guards with difficulty opened a passage through the crowd, the president being pursued to the last with hoots and yells. Even eggs were 'thrown. ;' ' i It was noteworthy,' however, that the people generally cheered him loudly. During the second race the. clamor increased to violence and was plainly directed by a committee of the League of Patriots, collected with their sup . porters both before and behind the presidential stand, around which a ; formidable affray proceeded. During the grand steeplechase many , blows were struck, 'and several police men "were injured .In their endeavors to prevent an invasion-of the president tial stand. At the crisis of the excitement, while shouts of "Vive L'Armee" and "Vive Deroulede" were heard on all- sides. Count Christianf s rushed toward the . president, brandished a stick and di rected a blow against him, striking hi3 hat. The orowyd rushed upon . Christianl who only escaped severe handling by being taken under police protection. - LOUBET'S COOL BEARING. President' Loubet remained all the 'while quite unmoved, talking to the premier, while the officers of his mili tary -household were defending him against" violence.

The principal leaders of the demon . stration ivere two anti-Semite and na tionalist deputies.) Police Inspector Griiliere had his head seriously wounded in the melee, and President Loubet has since decor ated him. with' the cross of the Legion of Honor in recognition of his devotion ;to duty. . . j - A ROYALIST .DEMONSTRATION. It seems certain! that the demonstra tion was organized by the Jeunesse - Royaliste, the Ligue des Patriotes and the" anti-Semites, -the rallying sign be ing a carnation in the buttonhole. Count Christian! is a member of the Steeplechase Society, a very select body, and his conduct has caused the greatest indignation. Most of the persons arrested repre sent some of ithe best families in France. Comte' Christiani is held on charge of attempting to strike the pres ident. Comte D'Aubigny D'Assy is charged with wounding Police Inspec torGrilliere and another policeman. At a late hour this evening many in fluential persons sought to obtain the release of these aristocratic prisoners, but the prefect of police refused all such requests and removed all the prisoners to cells.! VIOLENT SCENES IN THE CHAM BER OF; DEPUTIES. Paris, June 5. There were violent scenes in the chamber of deputies this afternoon, owing to royalist denuncia tions of President Loubet, and the sol diers on duty had to eject the chief an-iti-Loubet speaker, M. Rious de Largen taye. ... i The chamber of deputies met at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The public gal leries were crowded with 'fashionable people, including many ladies in pretty toilettes. The-gaUeries of senators and diplomats were also full. ; There was a large and early attendance of depu ' . ties, who animatedly discussed, the in- cidents of yesterday. Premier Dupuy and the minister of justice, M. Lebret, sat on the ministerial bench! 31. Laloge, who imoved the interpella tion, said the - hour of -action had Struck. .(Cheers from. the leftists and murmurs from the rightists, and a ' babel of; cries in which M. Cassagnac and M. Laslies, !anti-Semite, partici- ' " pated.) 1M. Laloge asked the premier if he had been warned before hand of yesterday's demonstration. He then eulogized- President- Loubet, who, he said, undertook the presidency in a time of stress. (Loud applause.) THE PRESIDENT' DENOUNCED. - M. Ribs de Largentaye, conservative representing the Second division of Di nan, Cotes-du-Nord, shouted: "Loubet is not honest!" "He is a Panamist!" A These statements called forth violent -I protests and shouts of "order," but M. ,j de Largentaye' persisted in spite of the uproar and hooting, in declaring honest men were arrested yesterday. This was followed with shouts of "Down with . . Loubet!" and a scene of wild excite f f ment ensued. The leftists shouted at -V-ir the top of their voices: "Censure with ' temporary exclusion!" A MEMBER EJECTED BY TROOPS. President de Schanel ordered .M. Lar " gentaye to withdraw, but the latter re- fused and the session was suspended, the deputies being requested to with draw In ord r that M. de ' Largentaye be expeaied. , ."- ' The commanding officer on duty at . the Palais Bourbon then entered the chamber of deputies with a squad of soldiers and requested M. . de Largen taye to withdraw. The latter waited "until many of his colleagues had left the house and then rose and walked out, escorted by the soldiers. There was cheering and counter-cheering when M. de, Largentaye appeared, in the - corridors. The sitting was then resumed ,and M. Laloge asked what measures the government intended o . take in the m future, and the premier replied that after yesterday's incidents;,, his flrst step was to address a respectful greet ing to the nation's elect and to "the firm citizen, who was and "who remains, the guaranty of republican comnfun;' Ion." (Cheers.1 Continuing, the premier said that yesterday at Auteuil the "advance guard of the reactionary party protested against him and calU ed for his resignation," and he proceed- ATTACKED by Royalists Against of France. eki to enlarge ipon the coarseness of euch a demonstration against an invit ed guest. - The premier then said: "The repre sentatives of elegance and good taste have given us an, idea of what France may expect from their idleness and in dolence. We knew secret meetings had taken place and that preparations were made, for demonstrations. We took measures for the president's protection in driving to and from the race course and not having occurred on the way " Here a royalist deputy cried: "You hid him!" M. Dupuy retorted: "No, but your friends hid behind the women!" Protests from the rightists fallowed and M. i,asioS, anti-Semite cried: "Loubet and del Casse (the minister of foreign affairs) hid behind policemen!" This statement . was followed by ah uproar, lasting several minutes. When comparative quiet had been restored M. Dupuy said: "We stationed poliee at the paddock with orders to Intervene immediately in case of a demonstra tion and they did so, though theymet with much opposition and protests. I assume all Tesponsibilitiy." "You have the evil eye," cried M. Lasios, a remark which caused laugh ter. - M. Dupuy continued: "All the police did their duty and an individual threw jhimself on the president of the re public, who remained, calm. The pro ceedings at Autueil were all the more disgusting, because they occurred in the presence of foreign representatives. The , persons who have been arrested will be examined by a magistrate who will decide" whether there was a con spiracy. We are satisfied the accused are members of clubs which the gov eminent has decided to close. Yester day's demonstrations pretend to repre- "sent France in the army, but the pub- lie was against them. We are support ers of the republic and republicans who ' do not mix' with those who are only borrowed in name in order to better de stroy her. You have given us a coun tersign to uphold. If you' give us your confidence we shall know how to de fend our institutions from- those ' who attack them". (Applause.) i Here M. de Cassagnac, cbn3ervative, interjected: "The country is sick of the republic. As to the affiair which has divided the nation and families, it wUl yet weigh heavily against you. The stories' current in regard to measures you propose against the generals " "A afertain amount, of courage," ex claimed the premier, "is required to do what we propose." THE ROYALIST CRY. "To drag you before a high court," retorted M. Cavaagnac (the former min ister of war) "by your former colleague. You have cause to close the clubs. The nation is awakening and is only await ing the right man." (Applause.) After further debate, M. MeHne and his supporters moved the order of the day, approving of the government's ac tion. It was carried without a division after the first part had been adopted by a vote of 513 to 32, and the second part had- been voted by 326 to 173. The chamber by 299 to 238 votes de cided to adjourn the appointment of a commission to. inquire into the conduct of General Mercier, the former minis ter of war, until after the court-martial at Rennes, which is to try Dreyfus, as a result of the decision of the court of cassation.
