THE RED SPECTRE.
Fears Of a COmmunistic Rising In
France.
Precautions of an Extreme Character
Being Taken for the Preservation
of Life and Property.

PARIS, Nov. lit is an open secret that NJ.
Fallieres, minister of the interior, and M.
Camescasse, project of police, have held sew
eral interviews for the purpose of taking more
efectul measures for the protection of life
and property NJ Camescasse complains OF
the lnsuficiency of the police force, and says
that the army of criminals is being daily swelled
in number by fresh recruits, while Social
istic and anarchic agitation materially adds to
its ranks and fully iustifes the authorities in
taking precautions of most extreme charac-
ter. He states that crimes against persons and
property have never been 50 numerous in
Paris as at present, but acknowledges that
there have been no outrages which could be
identified as being Of Socialistic or political
character. The widespread discomfort among
workingmen, and growing agitation of the
rent question adds to the difficulties Of
the government The strikes are spread
ing, and not less than $4,000 men are
now out Some attempts to harmonic
the differences between the employers
and workmen have been made, but the con-
ferences thus far held have terminated with
out satisfactory results. The question of rents
is still more serious and difficult to deal with.
Through the opening of new streets, of the
erection of costly buildings in quarters hither-
to occupied by workingmen, it has become al
most impossible for them to find house-rOom
for themselves and families Rents have
been raised to rates which are practically pro-
hibitory On the last rent day nearly five
thousand families moved, and of this number
some fifteen hundred migrated to the suburbs.
There were many cases of eviction, and most
painful scenes of distress occurred. The ter
ror created by the Outrages of the 'black
band" in the neighborhood of Mont
ceau-les-M Mines showing no signs of abatement.
The troubles in that section are not of recent
origin, but have been in progress for the past
two years, eliminating in the late dynamite
outrages which have intensified the fears pre-
viously created and rendered it almost impos-
sible to obtain any evidence against the con-
spirators. Those arrested for crime are all
young men who have evidently acted under
the direction of the heads of a secret society
which has for its object the transfer of the
mines and manufactures from the hands of
the owners to those of the workingmen. 1t is
openly asserted by their sympathizers that the
men arrested for completely in the out
RACES will escape punishment The revela-
tions Just made showing the extent of the
anarchist movement have caused universal
alarm. Packages of incendiary proclamations
and quantities of dynamite, all apparently Of
Swiss Crigin, have been discovered in many
places throughout the country, and the papers
seized show that the organization has been
directed from Geneva
The Socialist workmen held meeting
yesterday at Montmare, which heard speeches
and adopted resolutions violently denouncing
NJ CIemenceau for deserving the cause of the
people. A resolution was also passed CEN
surfing and admonishing him to change his
course in the future,
