Paris, Feb. 26.â€"The famous catheâ€" dral of Notre Dame was the centre of much excitement Saturday, which later took the form of a disorderly manifesâ€" tation against former President Louâ€" bet. Crowds assembled in the Place Notre Dame expecting the Aaq@pqn;lt}!. to come and take an inventory of the chapter house and a force of 150 poâ€" licemen patrolled the surrounding streets expecting trouble within the edifice; but as the authorities did not atteript an inventory this did not 0¢â€" cur, ‘The crawds outside gradually inâ€" creased in numbers, however, and finâ€" ally several hundred persons marched to the Rue Dante, where M. Loubet has taken up his residence. The mantâ€" festants passed before the house of the former president uttering insulting eries against him. The police then drove off the crowd, which, however, reassembled and returned only to be dispersed again. A slight ofln!‘ oc curred between the police and the manifestants as the latter sought to turn once more, and a dozen arrests were made. The explanation of the movement against M. Loubet is that the bill for the separation of the church and state became a law during his adâ€" ministration. 5 Inventories were made at several churches yesterday. At the aristocratic church of St. Thomas Aquinas, the prefect of police with a strong body of men had to force his way through a long passage into the sacristy owing to the resistance offered by a number of the parishioners. The priests then refused to hand over the keys and the prefect caused the safes to be broken open. An inventory of the property then was made. e .
