Shopkeepers' Riots and Order Restored in Madrid

TROUBLE IN MADRID, OCT. 8.—After the shopkeepers’ manifestations yesterday, which temporarily subsided on the promise of the Alcalde that the tax on shop bills shall be reconsidered, crowds again collected on the streets, hissed the members of the city government who were trying to allay the excitement, and assailed the police with clubs and stones. The civil force being unable to suppress the disorder, and the rioters becoming more violent, a battalion of National Guards was called out and cleared the streets. Several persons were injured, but none killed. Order was restored, and the city to-day has been quiet.
