PARIs, Sept. 16, via London, Sept. o.
Cable special to the Sun: 1t is impossi-
bic to separate now the political from the
military question, for, understanding one,
you must understand the other.
There are two different powers in Paris,
one official, the Provisional Government
which satisfies nobody, but is accepted
and tolerated by everybody; the second is
the Central Republican Committee COM
posed of four delegates from each arron-
dissment, or eighty delegates in all.
These four delegates are selected from
twenty-five delegates elected by the peO-
pie in every ACCOMPLISHMENT. They are in
constant communication with the popula-
ton during the day through the twenty
one delegates remaining in the arrondiss-
ments, and at night by public meetings.
A special committee of five remain in
session day and night. At the sitting of
Assembly these eighty delegates consti-
ute the Communes of Paris.
The International Association of Work
ingmen have been the cradle of that pow
erful organization which is Objectionable
to the boIlrgoisie, and source of fear to
the government, but has tho deepest root
in the hearts of the people.
They sent yesterday a message
to the Government, asking immediate
measures
l. To transfer police from the Central
Government to the municipalities; the
election of the ministry; the abrogation
7. Iaoroa intorfnrircr with
the absolute freedom of speech, of the
press, and of the meeting of associations.
2. The appropriation of the necessaTlts
of life wherever to be found, and their
distribution among the families OF the
national guards, and those in need, proper
tionally to the amount of provisions, the
probable duration of the siege and num-
Der of persons TO be fed.
8. The immediate appropriation of all
empty apartments or public buildings, for
the accommodation of the defenders of
the city. ....
4. A levy to be made of all French
men, without exception.
). The immediate dispatch of general
commissioners to the departments to u
the population and send them to the de-
tense of Paris.
The Government refused yesterday to
Weld to these demands. To-day dele
CATION of 100 members, comprising the
so members of the Central Committee
and two special delegates from each ar
rondissement will again present them. If
the Government persists in its refusal the
people themselves will come peacefully,
but en- masse, TO demand them.
The Lyons workmen have constituted
an independent government for defense
and offense. AS am going there | will
be able to tell you more in couple OF
days.
The first success of the PrussiaDs will
overthrow the provisional government, as
Sedan overthrow the Imperial govern
ment. Then the people will certainly
take better care of themselves than their
traditional masters have.
