A heavy fog settled over the city this
afternoon and made it difficult to as
certain until late exactly what had
happened. 1t seems that, fearing dis
orders, large body of police moved in
the direction of the Pantheon about 4
o'clock and barred the bridges across
the Seine. Half an hour later the SIN

hlled the Place du Pantheon. An agi

ties, were treated with unusual for
bearance by the police, who only kept
them within necessary bounds Ac-
cording to some accounts twenty peo-
pie were wounded in the cavalry
charge outside the Tivoli hall, which
the police eventually cleared. The i'm
prisoned committee in the tribune were
unable to make themselves heard, and
hung out placard announcing that
the proceedings were closed.
There is no doubt that the policy Of
the government is beginning to be
strongly assailed. Gen. Billot, minister
of war, is specially the object of at
tack, and the smallness of the major
ity in the chamber of deputies TODAY
indicates the waning of NJ. Meline's In
fluence. The cabinet was only saved
from defeat by the vote of Monarchists
and Boulangists. The Libre Parole ac-
cuses Gen. Billot of illegally spending
10000 francs of war office funds in
bribing the press during the present
crisis
A special service of police has been
organized around the residence of
Matthew Dreyfus. The Soir asserts
that NJ. Zola will call Count Munster
the German ambassador, and Count
Tornielli, the Italian ambassador as
witnesses to the innocence of Dreyfus.

but only three bills of local importance
were passed. The remainder of the
session was devoted to further consid-
GRAFTON of the army appropriation bill.
Ihe debate was particularly notable
for vigorous speech by Mr. McClel-
Ian On. ", son of Gen. George B.
Mcclellan, attacking the present army
organization as obsolete and inefficient.
He asserted that we were woefully un-
prepared for war should a crisis come.
and contended for modern methods in
organization, equipment and supplies,
which would enable the United States
TO meet an emergency. Mr.. Lewis,
(WaSh) also made a speech that at
tracted attention in denunciation Of
ening the liberties of the country. The
consideration of the army appropria-
ton bill was not completed today.
The army today, Mr.. Mcclellan de-
clared, in opening his address, is but
little better than a clumsily organized
national police force, top heavy with
the gold lace of staff officers, many of
whom had not seen more active serv-

of the police force. The army should.
he declared, be entirely reorganized. He
said this in no spirit Of jingoism, but
for the purpose of calling the attention
of the country to the fact that we were
paying a large price for a very ineffi-
cient army, utterly unprepared for war,
while a very small additional expendi-
ture, with proper organization, would
work wonders.
One of the gravest defects In the
present organization, he said, was the
lack of properly instructed and COM
petent staff. In the modern sense of
the word we had no staff. Our anu
milton plant was, he said, hopelessly
deficient. AT this present rate Of ac-
cumulated reserve, at the end of five
years we would only have enough
ammunition to supply the infantry for
two days at the firing rate of the bat
tie of Gettysburg.

PARIS, Jan. ia great anti-Drey-
fus and anti-Semitic meeting tonight
at the Tivoli VauXhall produced eX-
traordinary scenes. The neighborhood
was paraded by police, mounted and
on foot, and the rapidly growing crowd
increased the excitement. AT o'clock
on the opening of the meeting the hall
was a seething sea of humanity, crowd
ing every part, gesticulating, shouting
"a bas Zola," "Vive Parmee" and
"Vive la revolution sociale." The mem
bres Of the anti-Semite committee dis
played banners bearing the inscription
Death to the Jews" and other inscrip-
tions. 1t was soon seen that the 5000
present consisted largely of anarchists
and of others bent upon opposing the
students. On M Guerin, the president.
proposing that the honorary presidency
be conferred upon M. Rochefort and
M. Drumont, a great uproar ensued,
the anarchists trying to wrench the
banners from the anti-Semites. Scuf-
f1es took place, in which two of the Of
ficials were injured.

rouncing the Jews and urging the

continued with shouting, whistling
and singing of the 'Marseillaise" and
the "Carmagnole,' while M Thiebaud
proceeded, in a violent speech declar-
ing that the Dreyfus scandal was the
commencement of a social revolution
by band of scoundrels desiring to
overthrow everything in order to raise
q traitor" The scene now became a
saturnalia. The anarchists removed
the iron staircase giving access to the
tribune, so that the committee was un-
able to descend. Free fights began
around the flags. Finally the students
chased the anarchists out Of the hail.
The organizers of the meeting then
seized the flags decorating the hall and
arranged a rendezvous at the military
club, crying "Vive Parmee."
ANARCHISTS RETURNED.
The hall partially emptied, but soon
the anarchists returned and, breaking
open the great doors. began further
fighting. 1t is alleged that several were
injured. Finally the students were
vanquished and the anarchists mas
ters of the situation. The meeting
broke up, and the anarchists replaced
the ladder and invaded the tribune,
led by M. Curtois, fourishing a red
flag and all shouting "Conspuez Roche
fort" ("Spit upon Rochefort') and
Long live Zola." The disturbances
continued, the anarchists declaiming
from the tribune against the army and
acclaiming Dreyfus. Some of the in
jured people were carried out with
their faces covered with blood.
The interest was now transferred to
the streets, where the police had been
reinforced by the Republican guards.

INDUSTRIAL
BATTLE IS ON

BOSTON, Mass, Jan. 1.-THE fight
between employer and empIoye in the
New England cotton mills is on, ani
what it will lead up to cannot be fore
told. The great corporations in New
Bedford are silent, and thousands of
operatives are idle, while here and
there discomfort cropped out all day the
most serious being at Biddeford, Me-,
where $500 persons refused to work,
thus closing two mills at Lewiston,
where one mill was crippled by 400
weavers staying out. The general
wage reduction is estimated to affect
$4,000 persons in about $50 mills. All
these mills had previously adopted. the
new schedule, and several others have
given notice of immediate reductions.
Here and there dissatisfaction was
brought to the notice Of agents and
overseers over minor grievances, and
in most cases these were either RENE
died or an inquiry promised. Tonight
finds the textile operatives everywhere
intently interested in the New Bedford
struggle, for here the test of strength
and endurance will come, and upon the
outcome will depend an industrial bat
tie the entire length and breadth of
the New England states. The chief
point in this battle will be discipline
and the first command of organized
labor brought well nigh perfect obedi-
ence. The day passed quite peaceful
ly but incidents in some quarters are
feared as a forerunner of the stand
the strikers will take if driven to des-
peration. From the point Of view of
the mill owner, the New Bedford situa-
ton is now a lockout. Intervention by
the state board of arbitration this week
is hardly likely to be allowed, and no
overt act on the part Of the strikers
and no attempt to open a mill is eX-
pected for number of days. The
New Bedford strikers will receive
strike money from operatives else
where, but the sum total will be re-
served until a protracted battle brings
on want and hardship, which the
unions will then try to relieve.
All the New Bedford mills opened at
bell time as usual. When no help
came in, lights went out, speed stop
ped, overseers and second hands pre-
pared to make everything snug, and
mill gates were closed Indefinitely. The
labor unions did little work today, ex-
cept to carry out plans of campaign,
which will be developed only as faint
hearted weavers seek to return to work.
OF the other strikes little has develop
ed in them as yet to forecast the fu-
ture. The Laconia and Pepperel mill
workers in Biddeford struck because
they were anxious to-. while the weav-
ers in the Androscoggan mill. Lewis

Stormy Scenes Witnessed at the
Diet Session.

PRAGUE, Bohemia, Jan. 17.-Stormy
scenes were witnessed at the session
of the diet today. Gov. Codenhove
made statement on both the German
and Czech languages as having equal
rights and had prepared to introduce
measures dividing the country into dis
tricts where the official language should
be the predominant one, and where,
when nationalities were equally divid-
ed, both languages would be employed
in the conduct Of business. Therefore,
he declared, all officials should be able
to speak both, and legislation will be
directed to teaching both in the in
termediate schools. This statement
gave rise to angry protests. Further
conflicts have occurred in the streets.
