Prevent Disorders.
Paris. Jan. 29.-In anticipation of the ex-
pected anti-Dreyfus demonstration to-day,
under the direction of the organizing COM
mittee of the anti-Dreyfus meeting at the
TiyoH Vauxhall last Monday night,
stringent measures were taken by the au-
thoriues to preserve order.
The Place de la Concorde and the Gar
den of the Tuilleries was held by detach-
ments OF cavalry and infantry and large
forces of police.
Nothing happened until o'clock this
afternoon, the time announced for the
meeting TO protest against the pro-Drey-
fus agitation in the Ceiles des Connoise.
The approaches to the hall were occupied
by mounted police and Republican Guards
and the extra precaution was taken of re-
moving all chairs from the interior. The
police refused admission to known an
archlsts, but many who were less promi-
nent eyaded the police vigilance, gained ad-
mission and created disturbance.
NJ. Thibaud was elected to the chair,
ana the noisiest disturbers of the proceed
lAgs were expelled from the hail. M. Tht-
baud proposed that wreath should be laid
on the Strasbourg statue and the proposal
was SItcIeQ WIN cries Oh NlNe i
ana 'NNe la France"
The disturbance continued, and NJ. Thi-
baud got a motion adopted to close the
meeting
Wreaths were placed on carriage, but
Inc police would not allow the crowd to
l9HoW it in body, and dispersed 1t into
small groups.
IN the mean time, anarchists tried in
VAN to organize a fresh meeting.
A wreath was placed on the statue at
. clock this afternoon in perfect order.
Later the police dispersed large bodies
oI anti-Jewish demonstrators in the Rue
ue Lafayette. and at the office of La Sol.
Nothing occurred further than few ar
rests during the day.
F1irols crowded the principal streets to-
mSht, but there were no further disorders.
4Ae troops of the garrison were confined
