The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1898-10-27

Concorde was reached. however. the
cavalry succeeding in turning the
crowd and driving II back.
AT this NJ. Lucren MhleVoye'
editor OF the Patrie and n or the ioud-
est patriots in France, came up on foot,
with ladies N another deputy a pro-
nounced anti-Semite. NJ. Millevoye was
wearing his deputy's scarf. not as a
mark OF ostentation or to attract at
t~ention, but simply in order 10 pass I'M
noticed.
He was disappointed. No sooner was
his tall figure seen draped with the req,
white n blue sash. than a howl went
up. 'Vive rsrmee.' ''vive la France
"vive la republique." volleyed out along
his path. Again the police were over
powered n out-maneuvered.
The project had issued a proclamation
last night threatening with instant ar
rest any one who cried down with any
institution. No provision had been made
for them who might shout long live,
a particular thing they fancied. so the
agents were non-plussed.
Then a diversion was effected by the
approach OF Eduoard Drumont. editor
of La Libre Parole and probably. the
worst sufferer from Semitophobia in the
whole world. Nearer and nearer swept
the roar OF "A bas les Juifs," swelling

II was a proud moment for NJ. Dru-
mont. He could not contain his emo
tion while seated. In his passion for
law and order he forgot that the cry
"A has" or anything was forbidden.
standing up in his carriage he yelled
himself hoarse with "A has les Juifs.
vive farmee."
Finally all the deputies were inside
the Palais Bourbon, while the crowd on
the other side OF the Place de la Con-
corde was getting bigger as time went
on. All along the Rue Royale the side
walks and the middle OF the streets
were crowded with q surging mass or
people. good tempered enough as yet.
Still, with &c much vital nervous en-
ergy massed together. an outbreak was
possible II not even probable. Again
and again the Place de la Concorde was
swept clear by mounted troops. They
harassed and broke up the scattered
crowd and naturally enough more and
more people were driven into the Rue
Royale. The steps in front of the Mad
elelne were black with people and
sight-seers covered every inch OF the
terrace surrounding the church. Every
window along both sides Of the street
was filled with heads, every chair n
table in the cafes was occupied.
Thicker N thicker grew the crowd
and certain symptoms of irritation be-
gan to show themselves. Its good hui
NOR was evidently evaporating. A cab
nan who drove slowly by had the idea
to cry "Vive Brlsson." Immediately his
vehicle has stormed n himself rough
ly handled. Jules Guerin, of the Libre
Parole, and NJ. Marrat, another anti
Semitic. got up a sort of side manifesto
ton around one Of the fountains In
the Place de la Concorde. Cries OF

out. NJ. lie Proust, police commissary,
strobe forward to arrest one of the
crowd. who.iyelled Mort u Juifs."
The anti-Semites at once fell upon n
poor commissary n reined a shower
OF blows upon him with their sticks.

him down and kicked him in the face.

Jumped down and got the bleeding man
into his conveyance. The crowd Their
tried to upset II, when luckily NJ. Blanc,
project of police. arrived on the scene.
Several OF the aggressore seemed TO
think they had quite explained and
justified the matter when they told NJ.

The wounded man vas assisted TO an
improvised hospital In the Tuilleries
gardens. where the blood was washed
off his face. II was found that his In
juries were not serious. He insisted on
returning to HIS post. Shortly after
ward he recognized some of his assail-
ants in n group Of shouting manifestors
and had them arrested at once. Jules
Cuerin and 10 or so others were also ar
rested as they insisted on doing their
utmost to excite the crowd with theii
innammatory cries.
Orders had been given to keep the
Place de la Concorde perfectly clear
and all and streets leading into
Il were barred by lines OF police.
Their some humorist of the Rus
Royale began to make a funeral pyr'
of a bundle of obnoxious papers that h

Idea took Immensely. At a dozen points
papers were bundled from the window
OF the kiosks and set ablaze while
youths and excited patriots danced
around them, whooping "A has LEI
traitres," "Vive Farmee." Other
thrust single copies Of the paper int
the flames. When II was alight the,
ran along with II until the imprompt'
torch had burned itself out.
A of cuirassiers was sen
along the Rue Royale to drive bacl
the people out OF the foot path and int
the boulevards. The horses SHE'D at tn
bonfres, pranced round and coul'
only be got to advance by dint o
soothing and coaxing. Slowly the hu
man flood was driven sullenly into tn
wider channe of the b~oulevards.
