O'Clock this evening large bodies of stu

The events of the past few days are be-
ginning to produce feeling of panic in
Jewish circles. Both the business and pri-
| vate houses of the Rothschiids and other
wealthy Jews are guarded by special detec-
tives and gendarmes for fear lest the Dru-
mont crusade produce sudden popular
outbreak. A heavy fog settled over the city
this afternoon and made it difficult to as
certain until late exactly what had hap
pened. 1t seems that, fearing disorders, a
large body of police moved in the direction
of the Pantheon about o'clock and barred
the bridges across the Seine Half an hour
later the students, issuing from their lee
ture rooms, filled the Place du Pantheon.
An agitated crowd, shouting "Conspuez
Zola," and raising other cries moved in the
direction of the bridges. Several attempts
to cross the river was frus-

in front of shop that bore the name

at the rear, ignorant of the cause of delay,
pushed on; and the mass continued it's on
ward course, after attempts in various di-
rections to reach the principal boulevards,
always frustrated by the police Many
were arrested. The students were now
joined by the riff-raff of the city, but finally
desisted till the evening meeting. The stu
dents, having the sympathy of the autbori-
ties, were treated with unusual forbearance
by the police, who only kept them within
necessary bounds. According to some ac-
counts, twenty people were wounded in the
cavalary charge outside the Tivoli Hall,
which the police eventually cleared. The
imprisoned committe in the tribune were
unable to make themselves heard and hung
out placard announcing that the proceed
ings were closed.

drove away the students. AT Marseilles a
