LYONS, October 27-The anarchist CON
spirsss has taken deeper root than suspected
and this morning the situation is very crltI-
csl. The citizens are panic stricken at the
revelations made Yesterday of the local
strength and far-reaching power OF the des-
perate men WHO constitute The organization,
and consider an outbreak almost inevitable.
A mob mas formed in he street, and, III addl-
lion TO threats against the Republican news
papers, now direct their venom against banks
and public buildings, which are being care
fully guarded, but by an inadequate force,
that would not be able to protect the proper
ty il the rioters made anything like deter
mined attempt to overpower them. The
condition OF affairs here adds new and I'M
ioreseen difficulties TO President Grsvy's po-
sition. 1t is not unlikely ministerial crisis
will be preeipitated, and that he resignation
of the President himself will be considered
advisable az soon as the Chambers assemble.
This feature of the case is being much dis
cussed here, and advices from Paris indicate
that the same view is held in many quarters
there.
