Paris dispatches describing the street
scenes attending tho overthrow OF the
Brlsson ministry say:
First Of ali. the socialists arranged to
hold a demonstration on the Place de La
Concorie. Paul DE Roulede. who has
monopoly OF patriotism in France. took
this as a challenge. He accordingly gave
his particular believers a rendezvous at
the same place and at the same hour.
Seeing that hght was inevitable II the
two parties met. the prefect OF police
made his plans to disperse both groups.
Al every point were strong detachmen,s
Of police and municipal guards. and be-
fore the Automobile Club, the ministry Of
marine and the big gate OF the Tunieres
were stationed companies OF foot repub-
lican guards.
Large reserve forces were posted in
several parts in edition to bodies OF the
culrassiers and mounted municipal
guards pairolllng the square In every d.
rectlon As o'clock drew near people
began to gather. They were not inter-
fered with at first There were no fights
or disturbances for time. The people
seemed to have gathered more to see a
spectacle than anything else.
Tho FIRST manifestation was provoked
by the arrival Of Paul de Roulede In
carriage When the vehicle reached the
middle OF the Place de La Concorde, II
was surrounded by gestlculating crowd.
and cries OF "vive L'Armee." NJ. De
Roulede made a sort OF triumphal pro-
cession. standing up in the carriage and
waving his long arms and screaming hys-
terically "Viye LArmee" Inc police |

deputy, pronounced anti-semite NJ.
Mlllevoye was wearing his deputy's scarf,
not as mark OF ostentation TO the
crowd. or to attract attention, but simply
in order to pass unnoticed.
He was disappointed, No sooner was
his tall figure seen draped with the red,
white and blue sash than howl went
no. "Vive L'Armee," Vlve La France
'Vive La Repubhque" volleyed out along
his path
Again the police were overpowered and
out manouvred.
The prefect 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 those who might shout Long Live"
a particular thing they fancied, so the
agents were nonpussed.
Then a diversion was effected by the
approach of Eduard Drumont, editor OF
la Libre Parole, and probably the worst
sufferer from semitophodia in the world,
Nearer and nearer swept the roar OF
"A Bas Les Jufs," swelling in volume
as It rolled along.
1t was proud moment for NJ. Dru-
