Paris, Jan. 2s.-In anticipation of the
prohibited anti-Dreyfus demonstrat on to-
day under the directions of the organ
fzing committee of the aati-Dreyfus meet
ing at the Tivoli Naux hall last A.onday
night, stringent measures We're taken by
the authorities to preserve order. The
Place de la Concorde and the garden CT
the Tuiilerfes were held by detachments
OF cavalry and infantry and large forces
of police. Nothing happened until 2 this
afternoon, the time announced for fhs
meeting to protest against the pro-Lrey-
fus agitation in the Sale des Miles sec
ton and in the Montparnasse quarter.
The approaches to the hail were occupied
by police and mounted republican guards.
while the precaution was taken OF re-
moving all the chairs from the interior.
The police refused admission TO known
anarchists, but many who were less p m
inent evaded police vigilance, gained adj
mittance and created disturbances.
M. Thieband was elected to The chair
and the noisy disturbers of the proc e.
ings were expelled from the hall. M.
Thieband proposed that wreath should
be laid on the Strasbourg statue, and The
proposal was greeted with cries OF "Vive
fArmee" and ..yive France"
As the disturbance continued, NJ. THE
baud got a motion adopted TO close TIL
meeting. The wreath was then placed n
a carriage, but the police refused TO allow
the crowd to follow 1t in d body, ana d.
vided 1t into small groups. In the mean
time the anarchists tried in vain to or
ganize a fresh meeting. The wreath was
placed upon the statue at ABB o'clock
amid imperfect order. Late In the evening
the police dispersed large bodies OF anti-
Jewish demonstrators in the Rue de ia
Fayette and at the Office of the Aurore.
But nothing serious occurred and there
were few arrests during the day.
Ii is agreed on all sides that Saturdays
scene in the chamber of deputies was al
most without precedent, except the :
cent disturbances in the Austrian re chs
Tag. Curiously enough. Count Bad nj the
former Austrian premier witnessed IL.
He must have felt quite at home. After

neckties were picked up, together with
many coats that had been torn by depu-
ties from each others shoulders. Nj. 1io-

department of the Seine, had door

The scene or fighting around the tfihuna

Several of the M mbers have asked The
socialists To let the matter drop, on the
ground that comte De Bernls was not in

Opinions differ greatly rs TO the cut
