CHAMPAGNE RIOTS.
TROOPS ASSEMBLING. By Telegraph - .Press Association—Copyright Received April 18th, 11.30 p.m. Paris, Last Nieht. Arrests in Aube district continue. Troops are pouring in. The rioters are using new tactics, which consist of descents in bands, numbering a few hundreds, on villages where the champagne depots are unguarded. The Cardinal Archbishop of Rheims, in a pastoral letter, acknowledges the widespread suffering due to the vintage failures of three years, and deplores the violence of vignerons restarted to draw attention to grievances. During the incendiarism on Wednesday, the wind drove the smoke into the cellars, where the rioters had smashed ten thousand bottles. Several rioters were asphyxiated.
