NEAR CIVIL WAR.
GRAVE PARIS SITUATION. BLOODSHED ROUSES UGLY TEMPER. EX-SOLDIERS SHOT DOWN BY POLICE. GOVERNMENT FORCED TO RESIGN. FORMER PRESIDENT ASSUMES OFFICE. The rioting in Paris yesterday developed to a situation of the utmost gravily, and in the evening and till the early hours of the morning conditions equivalent to civil war prevailed. Infuriated by the shooting down of their comrades, ex-soldiers dashed to their homes for their rifles, and the temper of the populace is said to have been as infuriated as at the third revolution of the Republic. Under the strongest pressure from many quarters, the Prime Minister, M. Qaladier, has resigned, stating in a manifesto that the Government declined to adopt emergency measures that, would have assured the restoration of peace. ' Early in the afternoon rioting recommenced in the Boulevard Hausmann, when the police were dispersing a mob in pursuance of the prohibition of street assemblies.
