PATE OP A PARIS APACHE. CROWD FIRE AT THE POLICE. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. Paris, July 1. Liebeuf,- tho Paris apacho who killed a policeman in January last, was guillotined at dawn to-day. A hostile crowd hissed tho police and fired revolver shots. One polico inspector was wounded, a bullet lodging in his neck. The police drew their swords, and charged the crowd.

A GRAVE QUESTION. One policeman was killed and three other members of the force wore more or less seriously wounded in the Rue Aubry le Boucher in January last, while attempting to arrest a man who had been threatening in a public place to murder every policeman who should cross his path. "The Times" Paris correspondent, in recording the tragedy, stated that "this affair, #which has followed so hard upon the outrageous murder of an elderly lady by two soldiers in the first-class compartment of a railway carriage of a train running between Fountuinbleau and Paris, has revived in its most pressing and poignant form the question of the security of the Paris population, and has drawn attention to a much graver question still, that of the moral atmosphere prevailing in certain French regiments. The two questions, it is held, cannot bo separated. The same hooligan types composing the little army of crime which is quartered in the cheap lodging-houses that surround the central markets in Paris are to bo found in the army." A large and representative gathering of tho official world was present at the funeral of tho policeman who was .tilled.
