MANILA , Juno 4. 8:35 : p. m. General
Hall's column In the movement upon the
Morong peninsula , completed a circuit of
twenty miles over rough and mountainous
country , having two engagements with the
Insurgents , ono of them severe , and keep
ing up an almost constant fire against scat
tered bands of rebels for nearly twenty-four
"hours " from 4 o'clock Saturday morning ,
when the column left the pumping station.
The Filipinos were driven In every direction
and the country through which General Hall
passed was pretty thoroughly cleared. At
10 o'clock this morning the cofumn reached
a point a few miles from Tay Tay , where
General Hall was met by General Law ton ,
who had already entered the town and found
It deserted. General Hall's obpectlve point
was Antlpolo , ten miles off , and there was
desultory firing all along the line of march.
The gunboats could be heard sheiring the
Iillls In advance of the column.
The column , after driving the rebels from
the foothills ntar Maruqulno about noon
jesterday. with a loss of but two or three
slightly wounded , proceeded with all possible
haste toward Laguna do Bay , the Fourih
cavalry In the lead , the Oregon regiment
next and the Fourth Infantry last. At 5
o'clock these three reglmont fought their
eccond battro of the day and It resulted like
the first In the complete rout of a large
Filipino force located in the mountains and
liavlng every advantage of position.
Four AiiiurlciuiH Killed.
The American loss was four killed , three
of the Fourth cavalry and ono Oregonlan ,
nnd about fifteen wounded. The Filipino loss
could not be ascertained , but the lerrlble
flro the Americans poured Into them for half
an hour must have Inflicted severe punish
ment. In this engagement our troops made
ono of the most gallant charges cf the war
and the enemy was forced to flee In the
greatest disorder.
It was the Intention to press on to Anti-
polo lafat night , but this was found Impos
sible , owing to the two fights and the
constant marching for more than twelve
Jiours , with nothing to eat since morning
and no supply train in sight. The troops ,
moreover , suffered from the Intense heat ,
many being prostrated and all greatly ex
hausted. Consequently they bivouacked
for the night on the second battlefield.
The cavalry , the Oregonlans and two
companies of the Fourth Infantry had just
crossed a smalt creek about 5 o'clock yes
terday afternoon and entered upon a sunken
road , from which they were emerging upon
n small valley surrounded on all sides by
high and heavily-wooded hills , when the
rebels , concealed In the mountains on the
three sides of the plain , opened a hot flro
and sent bhowers of bullets into thoranks
of the Americans. The latter deployed Im
mediately In three directions.
PoHltlon Cnrrlcil ! > Storm.
Then followed a charge across thu rice
fields nnd ditches nnd up the hillsides ,
fron } which the shots came all the time ,
pouring In a terrific hall , while the air reBounded -
Bounded with the constant rattle of inus-
Jtetry.
"The Fourth cavalry , being In front , suf
fered the severest loss when the attack
opened , two of their killed being sergeants
and the other a private. The Oregonlan
JUlled was a private.
The natives were unable to stand the
vigorous firing of the Americans long nnd
at the first sign of their wavering the cav-
nlry , Oregonlans and Fourth infantomen
broke Into wild cheers nnd charged still
faster up the hillsides , pouring in volley
after volley until the men left the places
where they were partially concealed by the
thicket , fled over the summit In the wild
est confusion nnd disappeared In the surrounding -
rounding valleys. After the fight was over
the firing was continued by the Ameri
cans for moro than nn hour In clearing out
the bush and driving avvny stinggllng Fil
ipinos.
The troops , after camping for the night on
the battlefield , started at 5 o'clock this
niorninfj for Antlpolo , where It was expected
a strong resistance would bo made. Antl-
jiolo is a placa far up in the mountains
which the Spaniards had said the Americans
could never capture. It has cost Spain the
lives of 300 troops.
Fnll of Antlpolo.
The progress of the column was consider
ably delayed while passing up the steep
mountain grade by a small band of Inmir-
pcnts , but thcao were effectually routed by
the Fourth cavalry , which was In advance ,
nnd the troops reached Antlpolo in a few
hours.
Our lines were Immediately thrown around
on three sides of tbo town and then the
final advance was made. But It was found
unnecessary to flro n shot. Notu rebel vvws
\lalbla and the town was entirely abandoned.
Two hours later , after a conference be
tween General Law ton and General Hall ,
the column proceeded toward Morons to
drive away any rebels found In that quar
ter.
ter.When
When the start was mnde for Antlpolo In
the morning the Oregon regiment and the
Ninth Infantry were left behind js a rear
guard , and there was considerable firing
along their lines In clearing the enemy from
the high bill between their position and the
lake.
Mnvciiipitt of ( ho Troopx ,
8 p. m. The position of the American
troops tonight Indicates that they will to
morrow sweep the peninsula of Morons ,
the land projecting to the south Into La
guna de Bay , where the Insurgents tire
supposed to have a largo force , near the
town of Morong , as well as the battery on
the western short of the peninsula , which
recently smashed tbo propeller of the gun-
be at Napldan.
General Hall Is marching from Antlpolo ,
about elx and a halt miles west of Morang ,
toward the peninsula , with his forces spread
out to cover a largo section. Colonel Truman -
man , with the First North Dakota regi
ment and the Twelfth Infantry , Is advanc
ing along the coast cf the lake from Tay-
tay , incidentally clearing eevcrul small
towns. Colonel Whalley , with the First
Washington regiment , has landed on the
peninsula above the town of Morong. The
army gunboats Nnpldan , Codovonga and
' to nro In position to co-operate.
The original plan was to surround the
forces of General Plo Del Pllar , so that he
must retreat to the Morons peninsula ,
whcro capture would have been inevitable.
This was not n. complete success , because
General Hall's column found the country
full of handicaps to marching. Theto were
several streams to bo bridged or forded
and f the troops frequently floundered
through morasses , waist deep In mud , an
experience which , under the terrific sun ,
exhausted the Americans qulto bejond en
durance.
Most of General Plo Del Pllnr's followers
are supposed to have escaped northward ,
probably reaching Bosoboso , a stronghold
In the mountains.
\Vhnllr > 'M Coiiiiunnil HiuhnrkM.
Colonel Whalley , having successfully com
pleted his share of the movement , brought
the Washington regiment to the river Paslg ,
where last night about midnight the men
embarked upon cascoco and started for tholr
destination under the convoy of the , gun
boats They encountered a repetition of
the experience undergone by almost every
expedition on attempting to enter Laguna dc
Bay , as the boats went aground In the shal
lows at the mouth of the river and were de
tained there several hours.
Major General Law ton. In the meantime
vvaa Indefatigable , riding from ono force to
the other and supervising the loading of tho' '
cascocs , without wlecp for two nights.
General Hall's column , which assembled
at the waterworks or pumping station , late
Friday night , under cover of a moonless
sky , consists of the Second Oregon \olun-
tcers , who marched to the point of rendez
vous from the city barracks ; a battalion of
the Second Wyoming regiment , four troopi
of the Fourth cavalry one mounted on the
ilg American horses which so Impressed the
latlvcs , the others unmounted two bat- !
tallons of the Fourth Infantry , ono battalion
of the Ninth infantry , the first six com-
lanles of the First Colorado regiment and
two mountain guns. The men rolled them-
felvcs in their blankets nnd lay upon the
wet grass for a few hours under a drizzling
rain. '
Ilnll'N Column Taken rirlcl.
At 4 o'clock yesterday morning ( Saturday )
they began to cross the San Matco river and
about noon easily repulsed a largo band ot
Filipinos , about twelve miles east of Manila ,
between Marlqulna and Antlpolo.
The Oregon regiment , the cavalry , the
artillery and the Fourth infantry accom
plished this task , driving the insurgents
From the hills , the other troops being held
In reserve , but afterward Joining the main
column In the pursuit toward the sea.
A running flght was In progress all the
afternoon. A Filipino outpost first attacked
a few American scouts , whereupon the
Fourth cavalry formed a long skirmish line
and easily drove the Insurgents Into the
hills. Then the Oregon regiment moved
across a wet , soggy rice field , in extended
order , toward the hills , where It was be
lieved a large force ot the enemy had con
centrated. When the Oregonlans were
within about a mile of the position the
Filipinos opened a heavy flre , the Ameri
cans replying and pressing forward moro
rapidly.
After a few volleys the insurgents -ncro
seen scattering over the crest ot the hills
In every direction and their panic was in
creased tthenth , .arJlejxopQned | ! on them
and the shells began to explode all around
them , undoubtedly causing great loss of
Hfo. The bombardment by the batteries
and the musketry was maintained for nearly
half an hour , after which not a Filipino
could bo seen on the hills and not a shot
came from the position. The heat was Intense -
tense nnd the troops suffered greatly , but
they continued on the trail taken by the
fleeing enemy in the hope of driving them
toward the lake.
Cup to re of Cnliitn.
Colonel Whalloy , with two battalions of
the First Washington regiment , a bittallon
of the Twelfth Infantry , two guns of Scott's
battery and a party of scouts under Major
Jeisenberger , left San Pedro Macati yes
terday morning and after fording the river
Paslg advanced northeast upon Calnta ,
while General Hall approached the town
from the opposite direction , the gunboats
Napldan , Codovonga and Ccste co-opcratlng
In the river.
This Important movement was kept so
secret that the public thought the plan - waste
to send General Ovenshlne's lines forward
against the Insui gents who are entrenched
south of the city.
The signal corps displayed admirable en
terprise in laying wires with the troops ,
but the native sympathizers cut thorn be
hind the army , even within the American
lines.

Word came to Chicago today that James
S. Sherman and Serene E. Payne , Now
York's rival aspirants for the speakershlp ,
will withdraw from the contest In n feu-
dais , thus making Colonel Henderson's elec
tion unanimous. ,
When Colonel Henderson's mall and tele
grams showe < l he had passed the majority ,
with \otes to spare , he sent word to his
colleagues on the Iowa delegation , telling
them there was no nee < l to hold the caucus
In DCS Molnes , which hud boon called for
tomorrow to lay out plans for a vigorous
campaign. Ho < was assured of his election
and was In a position to take his ease and
receive congratulations. These were show
ered on him. They came in the malls and
over the wires and were accompanied by
extended hands at the Union League club
and In his rooms at the Auditorium annex.
Today all the Illinois republican congress
men who arc In the city or near It are ex
pected to call on the prospective speaker
and tell him how glad they are.
Hovi Hemlernon's Ilooin Started.
The Henderson campaign for the speaker-
ship of the national house Is a record
breaker. It really began in Atlantic City ,
where the. house committee of fifteen rn-
publlcans named In caucus to frame n
monetary bill met a few weeks ago.
Thomas B. Reed at that tlmo permitted
some of his intimate friends to disclose the
fact that ho was to retire from the house
and go into the law business In New York.
Colonel Henderson was chairman of the
monetary commission , and when it was
learned that a new speaker would have to
bo clouted , It was suggested that Colonel
Henderson would bo the right man to put
in the speaker's chair. On May 7 half a
dozen republican congressmen gathered In
Washington. Some of them were Oeneral
Grosvenor of Ohio , Cains P. Glllett of Mas
sachusetts , James A. Tawnoy of Minnesota
and Joseph W. Babcock of Wisconsin and
the other two were men west of the Mis
sissippi river.
Colonel Henderson said today : "I am
elected beyond doubt , for I have moro than
the required number of votes now , and I
sit hero in this chair with the knowledge
that I have not made a single pledge , have
net made a single promlso of a committee-
ship and what Is moro have not teen asked
to. I Know there has been more or less
said about promlso to this man and that ,
but such talk was based upon a dense ig
norance of the situation. 1 do not care to
talk policy or politics. If I started In on
that sort of thing I might make a mistake.
My policy will bo to do wht is right , my
politics to bo fair to everjone. It is emi
nently proper to have the speaker como
from the west and I think my eastern
friends recognized the Justice of our claims.
U certainly looks that way to me. "
Charles E. Littlefleld , republican candi
date to succeed the late Nelson Dlngley of
Maine , has telegraphed that ho will give his
vote to Mr. Henderson. Congressman Bou-
tello of Maine has telegraphed similar as
surances.
; \ew York's I'oMlHon.
NEW YORK , Juno 4. When Now York's
republican congressional delegation meets in
caucus here Tuesday it will take up the
spcakershlp question. It is almost certain
that at the meeting the New York delegation
will declare for General Henderson of Iowa.
Congressman Serene E. Payne of Auburn
was In the city today to see Senator Plntt.
Congressman Payne Is looked upon as ono
of Senator Platt'a closest political and per
sonal friends and would have been his per
sonal choice for speaker. Ho la now chair
man of the wajs and means committee and
expects to hold the place. After a talk with
Mr. Platt today Congressman Payne said tonight
night-
"Reports from delegations that have pub
licly avowed themselves In favor of Colonel
Henderson for speaker Indicate that hta
nomination i assured. I have been In
touch with the members of the different
delegations who have been reported to bo for
him and all my information confirms the
published reports. "
"I believe Colonel Henderson will bo the
next speaker. U has reached the point
where if 'wo were to go Into caucus I should
have no hesitation In rising and moving to
make Colonel Henderson's nomination
unanimous. I belieo that Is what tbo Now
York delegation ought to do when It meets
next Tuesday. "
Congressman Payne had made arrange
ments before Mr. Reed's retirement was
announced to visit Alaska thla summer In
company with Congressmen Dalzcll , Steele ,
Hale and Heatwojo and their families. When
It was learned that Mr. Reed would not bo
a candidate for the speakershlp again , Mr.
Payne called the jaunt off and started In
to land the speakershlp for himself Now
ho has decided to go to Alaska and will
Join the other members of the party Tues
day morning and consequently will not be
present at the meeting.
Connecticut 1'nrorn HenderNon ,
WATERRURY , Conn. , Juno 4. Congress
man N. D Sperry of New Ha\en when asked
tonight by a representative of the Repub
lican as to whom the Connecticut delegation
would probably support for the speakersblp
eaid that the Connecticut representatives
have not had a meeting yet to confer on the
question and that personally he would not
commit himself until after they had a meet-
Ing. Ho said , however :
"The Indications at the present time
pfrongly favor Colonel Henderson at lows.
Many think that Inlew of the fact that
Speaker Reed Is from New England and
President McKlnley from the easternmost of
the central group of states It would bo a
wise geographical choice to select the
speaker from the northwest. Colonel Hen
derson Is a man of ability and Is very pop
ular In the house , where ho has wrved six
teen years. If ho should bo elected ho
would make o creditable speaker. "

CHRISTIAN SCIENTISTS MEET
Mother Church of the OrKiiiilratlon in
Throiiitcil In Four SUCCCN-
Scr\lccn.
BOSTON , Juno 4. The followers of Chris
tian Science today observed communion day
with four largely attended services at the
mother church , the First Church of Christ ,
In this city. Thousands flocked into the
edifice , merely for the privilege of kneeling
in silent communion , of listening to the
reading of a brief message nnd the ex
change of kindly greetings with fellow
1 members. As soon ns the services were
concluded and the congregation hud de
parted another great concourse streamed
Into the church , and the simple service was I
repeated. |
Each gathering was a representative ono , i
for all sorts and conditions of men nnd i
women were present. Even tbo knowledge
that the leader , Mrs. Eddy , would not be
present had little effect on those who Joined
in the services and her message was at
tentively received.
t
Septimus J. Hanna Invited those present
to join In the communion. His words of
Invitation wore1 "I now invite all present ,
whether members of this church or not ,
and communicants of other churches , if
there be any present , to enter with us into
the Inner sanctuary of. Saul for n brief mo
ment , Into the holy of holies , into the
secret places of the Most High , for there
Is nothing as near as Infinite love. "
After the silent prayer the annual mes
sage of the pastor emeritus , Mary Baker
Eddy , to the mother church , was read by
John Recder , and listened to with great In
terest.
GRAY ARM ABOVE THE BLUE
Grnnil Army lU-funes to Accept Em-
hlem Gl\liiff Prominence to Confederate -
federate Colors.
COLUMBUS , O. , Juno 4. The Grand Army
of the RcpubHc posts of Columbus received
considerable notoriety last week on account
of having refused to reot' ' vv a floral tribute
from ex-confederates of'the couth to place
on union graves hero. The floral committee
which rejected the emblem has prepared a
statement explaining the matter. The re
port says :
"The committee feels that it Is duo the
members of the Grand Army of Columbus
that they give their reason for rejecting
the emblem. The person in whose mind the
design of the emblem originated has by his
statements placed the committee In a false
attitude ns far as rejecting the emblem is
concerned. The chairman of the committee
In accepting the wreath did not know what
entered into the formation of the emblem.
When it was learned that the design con
tained the emblem of an American flag
supported by an arm clothed in the confed
erate gray above nnd an arm clothed In
blue beneath , many members of the Grand
Army of the Republic entered their protests
against the placing1 of the emblem upon the
mound In language that could not bo mis
understood. The gray arm being placed not
only above the bFue , but on tha emblem at
all , was the only objection to accepting the
emblem. "

DEPEW ON THE SITUATION
Senator from ACM ork Telia
What Hi * Thliikt of I In- Po
litical Outlook.
( Copyright , 1SD9 , by Prc s Publishing Co )
LONDON , June 4 ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram ) Senator
, Ohauncoy M. Depow arrived In London early
this morning on his annual European trip.
I Tuesday ho ROCS to Paris and utter a fortnight -
| night he returns to London to spend the re
mainder of his five weeks' rrot.
I To jour coirespondent ho declared the
democratic leadera are seeking n popular
Issue. They are haunted by the ghost of
free silver , yet they know the It ? to 1 ory
now has no attraction for the people outside
of party ranks.
"America Is prosperous , " eild he. "Our
ppoplo want no remedies for financial dis
tress. The leadens are smoothing the way
for a gigantic doil. Some of them are now
stronger advocates for a strong army and a
mighty navy and for expansion along their
own lines than the republicans At the
democratic national convention they will
agree to elnk their advocacy of expansion If
i the free sllverltcs consent temporarily to put
in the background their monctarj proposals.
They will seek to move the country on the
[ cry of anti-expansion , antl-lmperlallam ,
anti-trusts , nntl-wcalth in corporate form
and will proMbly propose extensive state
socialistic legislation. It they capture thu
platform on this plan the free silver men
i will remain with them and vote the ticket.
Unless we have some qulto unlooked-for oc
currence the republicans will win. If , how
ever , the Philippine campaign Is long-drawn
or we have a serious financial crisis the
[ issue will be more doubtful.
[ "I do not agree with Carnegie that the
I republican party Is being unwillingly led
by the president along the p.ith of cxpan-
slon. The republican party deliberately
| adopted 'it ' and will not look back. Wo
began the Spanish war without a thought
of increasing our territory or national gain.
But nations learn new lessons rapidly and
we have learned that the good government
of the world compels ua to assume re
sponsibility over and fit for self-Eovcrn-
nient the races the Spanish war left de
pendent on us. Wo need , tco , the trade
among these people to find markets for the
Increased output resulting from our In
dustrial expansion. The people we are
educating and civilizing will want the ap
pliances of civilization , the tools of in
dustry , the goods -wo manufacture. America
must go further In the far cast. Our In
terests and England's arc Identical. Wo
both want open markets. America will ex
ercise her Influence alongside England to
secure this great potential field which la
net to be closed to commerce. " The outdnfo"
cordlalo between the two nations Is so
firmly established now that wo can work
side by side for a common aim without a
formal alliance.
"While I mvself am opposed to trusts ,
because thpv lead to the excessive con
trol of wealth and the work of the people
being centered in a few hands , I do not
think the trust Issue Is likely to play n
very largo part In the next presidential
election , because trusts are reducing prices
and distributing a large part of their profits
among employes by Increased wages. If ,
however , trusts wereto rniso prices and
lower wages the sentiment against them
would quickly take practical shape , If free
silver were relegated to a back sent by
the democratic convention. Bryan Is not
likely to secure the party nomination. The
leaders will look out for a safe man , such
as Senator Gorman , a man who does not
alarm , the solid , sober sections of the com
munity. AVhlle Brvan Is brilliant and pos
sessed of more than ordinary gifts most
of our people have no confidence In hla
stability. "
SCHLEY IS HOMEWARD BOUND
A < 1 in trill I.CIIICN for Ken- York After
IliithiiHliiNtlc Itcceplloii from
People Of CIllcilKO.
CHICAGO , Juno 4. Hear Admiral Schley
left for Now Yoik over the Pennsylvania nt
3 o'clock this afternoon accompanied by
Mrs. Schley. A crowd assembled at the
station In anticipation of his departure and
committees from the Hamilton club , Union
league and Loyal Legion were on hand to
say goodbye.
The last public function In the program
prepared for the admiral's entertainment In
Chicago was a luncheon at the Union leaguu
at neon today. John S. Miller , piesldent of
the club , presided and among those present
were Congressman David I ) . Henderson of
Iowa , General M. V , Sheridan , Congressman
James II. Mann , Postmaster Chailcs U.
Gordon , Colonel Henry L Turner , Colonel
G. II. D. Koch , General John T. McNulta ,
Judge Tuthlll , Judge Freeman and Henry
Barrett Chamberlain , President Miller's In
troduction of Admiral Schloy was eulogistic.
The admiral's response was remlnlbcent of
the late war and In opening ho made a
remark commendatory of the administra
tion's conduct of the war :
"Tho man who makes no mistakes makes
no war , "
It was the signal for much cheering on the
part of his hearers.
His speech was substantially along the
oamo lines as that delivered at the Hamil
ton club last night. The admiral said the
personal attention presented to himself was
accepted ao a tribute to that service which
Is always ready and which ha < never failed
when the country's honor was assailed. Ho
believed that the results of July 3 were HO
grand for the country that there was glory
and honor enough for everybody , no mat
ter whether It was the commander In chief
or the humble messenger boy , all were
links in the chain that tore the enemy to
pieces , ,
Referring to Ccrvcra's predicament while
In the harbor of Santiago , Admiral Schley
said-
said"No
"No admiral In history faced u harder
proposition. If be deserted General Linares
and came out lie would be hanged ivhen
ho reached Spain. If ho waited In the har
bor and was captured ho would likewise
be hanged when he returned to his own
countr/ and If he came out ho know bis
ships were bound to bo dcstro > cd. "
Admiral Schley gave a graceful tribute )
to Chicago hospitality as ho said farewell
to his hosts just before the train which waste
to bear him eabt was to leave the station.
"I shall ulwaye remember my visit to Chicago
cage and the people I have , met here with
affection 4)ml ) love , " ho eald. "I have been
rojally entertained and every moment of
ray stay has been enjoyable "
As the train pulled out ho was given
cheer after theer and hundreds of handker
chiefs waved adieu.

PARIS , Juno 4. President Loubct , ac
companied iby the premier , M. Uupuv , and
the chief of the military household , Gcncrul
Mcllullloudi drove to the Autcull races thla
afleinuon , closely followed by Madnmo
Loubct lu a second liinduu. As they diovo
along the Avenue DCS Champs Elysscs the
crowd bowed respectful ! } , but arriving at
Autoull , they were met by n violent demon
stration , evidently organized and dhocted
against the piosldent. There was n storm
of hoots and > ells and cries of "Panama , "
"Abas Loubot" and "Vivo L'Armeo. " A
few shouts of "Vivo Loubet" were drowned
Jn the clamor. A strong force of pollco
kept order and arrested many of the dis
turbers , including a man who tried to fores
his way to the president's carriage. During
the second race the clamor Increased to
violence and was plainly directed by a com
mittee of the League of Patriots collected
with tholr supporters both before and be
hind the presidential stand.
Dining the grand steeplechase ninny blovv
were struck and several policemen were In
jured In tholr endeavors to pi event an In
vasion of the presidential stand.
At the crls's ' of the excitement , whllo
shouts of "Vivo L'Armeo" and "Vivo Do-
rouledo" were hoard on nil sides Comto
Chrlstianl rushed toward the piesldent ,
brandishing a stick and directed n blow
against him , striking his hat. The crowd
rushed upon Chrlstlunl , who only escaped
severe handling by holng taken under pollco
protection. President Loubet remained all
the while qulto unmoved , talking to the
premier , while the officers of his military
household weio defending him against vie
lence.
Thirty llloicrn Arrcntcil.
Finally , after thirty arrests had been
made , the prefect of pollco ordered the Re
publican guards to surround the presidential
stand The main demonstrators were Jose
Lasles , deputy for Oers , and M. Flrmlu
raurc , antl-Semlto and nationalist , deputy
for Oran , Algeria.
Pollco Inspector Orllllerle bad his head
serloimfy wounded In the melee and President
Loubet has since , decorated him with tha
cross nf the Legion of Honor.
On returning to the ElysBM palace M.
Loubct received many sympathizing callers.
It seems certain that the demonstration was
organized by the Jueinnesseo royalists , the
Llgucs des Patrlotes and the anti-Semites ,
the rallying sign being a carnation In the
buttonhole .
Comto Chrlstianl Is a member of the
Steeplechase society , a very select body , and
his conduct has produced the greatest In
dignation.
A special cabinet council was summoned
at D o'clock this evening to consider the sit
uation and important measures were consid
ered to bo submitted to the president at an
other council meeting tomorrow for tha
preservation of order. The ministers , who
weio in session until 11 o'clock , maintain
strict reserve as to the nature of these mat
ters. The government will , however , o t
with the greatest energy and vvifl Impose re
spect for the president and for the statfc.
H Is reported that a number of fresh ar
rests will bo made tomorrow. The events ol
the day will lend to an Important discussion
In the Chamber of Deputies , where the gov
ernment will demand a vote of confidence.
There Is some fear of a renewal of the dis
turbance , although the pollco precautions are
nf tbo most thorough character and at a late
hour this evening moro or less excitement
Is still observable on the boulevards.
buciir nt llnpiCourse - .
Further accounts show that the whole
race course , particularly the enclosure ,
witnessed scenes of wildest excitement.
Comtesso Bonl Castellanowho was Mlsa
Anna. Gould of New York , place/1 / liersclf
nt the head of the JeunesfiO Royallsto and
marched up and down the lawn shouting
"Vive L'Armee. "
Oomto Bonl Castellano and his brother ,
Jeano , were arrest d , but soon liberated.
Comto Do Dion , when arrested , resisted nnd
fought with bin cane , smashing it on n
policeman's head and causing the Jeweled
top to lly off , striking a Journalist. Ha
was detained In custody.
Altogether al > out 130 arrests were made ,
ono being that of M. Dapsetto , deputy mayof
of Armentleres ,
Demonstrations and counter demonstra
tions continued until M. Loubot loft tha
race course at 1 20 p m. , rtho arrival of his
carrlqgo being the signal for on Indescrib
able tumult. The mounted fiiiards with
difficulty opened a passage through ths
crowd , the president being pursued to the
last with hoots and yells. Even eggs were
thrown.
It was noteworthy , however , that the pen-
plo generally cheered him loudly , the cheers
Increasing as ho drove toward the Ulysses ,
which ho reached safely at 4 45 p m. Dur-
In ? the demonstrations a number of hats
labeled "reitlgnatlon" were picked up ,
Comto Chrlstianl was thrown , trampled upon
and hcvcrely bruised In the melee Ho Is
a grandson of a general who was well known
during the empire.
CIIIIHI * of C'ninnioUon ,
It seems that U was Intended to give
the Marchand mission a big ovation. The
governmert got wind of the affair and kept
Marchand out of the way , although Captain
Baratler and ethers of the mJRSIon were
there. The Deroulcdlsts , balked of tholr
opportunity , evidently vented their eplta
upon the president.
The race couno committee npologli-ed to
M. Loubet , who replied that ho could riot
think of holding them responsible Ho re
marked to an Important personage that he
did not Intend being Intimidated Into resig
nation.
Durlas the demonstrations M. Rorhcfort ,
editor of Intranslgeant , was seen and on at
tempt V.IIH made to Induce him to lead the
