PARIS, March 18. The appearance o
Armed detachments ot Republican guards,
posted at strategic points of Paris today,
lidded to tho tense excitement aroused
among tho various political factions by
the assassination of Gaston Calmette,
editor of the Figaro.
At every point where there was likeli
hood of trouble the police were supported
by soldiers.
The offices of the Figaro, the Chamber
of Deputies, the residence ot M. Caillaux,
and the St. Lazaro prison, whero Mmo.
Caillaux has occupied a cell slnco she
killed the editor, to clear her husband's
name, she. said, were magnets which at
tracted the populace today.

Joined by dozens ot others, the police
.tcept zealous watch. Several times they
cleared away noisy groups, which re
assembled as soon as -the police had
passed.
Mmo. Caillaux seems today to have be
come a herolno amid all the turmoil.
Among the crowds of excited, gestulatlng
people, her name- Is heard constantly. She
Is talked ot as tho victim ot her love for
ar. Caillaux and as his Instrument In
committing the crime which has robbed 4,
the press of a prominent writer and the
French cabinet of Its leading spirit. The
crowds have adopted as their own tho
assertion of cDputy Dclehayc, in tho
chamber last night, that "cabinet minis

those obstructing their path."
Vellotr. Jcmrnnln Arc Active.
The excitement among the populace Is
worked on by .the many yellow, news
papers among tho 113 tfalfy publications of
Paris. These exaggerate, Invent and hint
at things, and the paper vendors yell the
Insinuations among tho crowd, exciting
tho people still further.

narrow iron bedstead In the prison of
Saint Lazare. Her hitherto remarkably
calm attitude was today said to be break

ways under observation.
Slid is never for a moment left alone.
Relays of nuns, two at a time, sit in the
email cell with her, whether she is
sleeping or waking. Besides these con
stant companions prison wardens fre
quently looked into the cell through the
finely meshed wire partition in order
to see that no breach of the prison legis
lations Is committed.
The wardens in the prison talk among
themselves of tho firmness with which
this woman, accustomed to luxury, en
dures the restraint.
Free Fight Among; Students.
Twenty University of Parts students
belonging to a revolutionary group be
gan to chant in one of the lecture rooms
"today "Vivo Caillaux," whereupon the
other students attacked them. The
Caillaux adherents were armed with
Ftout canes and fought desperately, but
they were finally overpowered and
thrown into the street.
Numerous Incidents In which the police
were forced td intervene occurred today
in the university quarter of the city.
There was much disorder In the class
rooms.

tloned Censorship is
'A'enrly Complete.
ED PASO, Tex., March IS. The thou
sands of persons In this section whose
fortunes are locked up in the military
and political developments in Mexico,
today awaited authentic information of
tho reported battle north of Torreon. In
the last twenty-four hours exactly fifteen
words of a press dispatch seeped through
the censor and over the single telegraph
lino connecting J u area with the present
war zone. It was so restricted as to be
scarcely moro than an Index ot what It
Is assumed tho censor removed.
Meanwhile federal agents here asserted
that Villa, moving confidently in tho di
rection of Torreon, camo suddenly upon
the enemy a hundred miles' north of
where he had expected them, and was de
feated at Kscalon. on the main lino of the
railway, and at Rosarlo.

Federals assert, and there were rumors
to tho same effect in the rebel camp at
Juarez, that tho first federal detachment
moved out of Torreon west of a range of
mountains, beyond which lies Escalon and
the railroad. This column, proceeding in
the direction of Parral, Is said to have
come upon the rebel general, Urbanla, at
Rosarlo, and tho latter was forced to re
treat, pending the arrival ot reinforce
ments. Rosarlo Is 110 miles west of
Jlmlnez, and the latter city is directly in
the rear of Escalon.
Tho federal attack at Escalon appar
ently was delayed until the western col
umn, on the other side of the mountains,
had engaged Urblna. Exact Information
as to tho fortunes of this general were
eagerly, though nof confidently, awaited
today. Federals here claim that not only
was the rebel western column defeated
at Rosarlo, but that It was unable to

Kacnped Decision.
Although suit was brought to break up

two years ago, has escaped tho supremo
court decision under the commodities
clause of tho Interstate rate act, whloh
forbids the railroad to transport coal be
longing to a corporation whoso stock It
owns and whose affairs have been com

was made that the Lehigh has violated

from engaging In mining or other business
other than transportation. The usual In
junction 'and decree of dissolution were
asked.

Tho deputies responded with a will, but
