evidence of suppressed excitement on
all sides here, there has been 10 dis
turbance of public order today. The
police and municipal guards are out i'll
strong force, and they will not permit
the crowds to assume dangerous
strength. But the situation was eagerly
discussed by excited groups in the main
streets. 1t is the intention of NJ Faure
to form new cabinet as rapidly as pos
sible, and the names of NM Ribot and
De Freycinet are the most prominently
mentioned in connection with the pre-
miership. During the afternoon NJ
Faure consulted with M. Leygues, vice
president Of the chamber of deputies,
who advised the formation of a cabi-
net to include among its members MN.
Ribot and Dupuy as the principal min
listers.
In the lobbies of the chamber of dep
uties today all shades of opinion ex-
pressed the conviction that M. Delcasse
should remain at the head of the for
eign office, in order to assure the con-
tinuity of the Fashoda negotiations.
New YORK, Oct. 26.-The Herald 8
Paris dispatch, describing the street
scenes attending the overthrow of the
Brisson ministry, says: First of all
the socialists arranged to hold demon
stration on the Place de la Concorde.
Paul Deroulede, who has monopoly Of
patriotism in France, took this as a
challenge. He accordingly gave his
particular believers rendezvous at the
same place and the same hour. Seeing
fight was inevitable if the two parties
met, the prefect of police made his
plans to disperse both groups. At every
point were strong detachments of po-
lice and municipal guards. Large re-
serve forces were posted in several
parts in addition to bodies of cuirassiers
and mounted municipal guards patroled
the square in every direction. AS 2
O'Clock drew near groups of people be-
gan to gather. The first manifestation
was provoked by the arrival of Paul
Deroulede in q carriage. When the ve-
hicle reached the middle of the Place
de La Concorde it was surrounded by a
shrieking, gesticulating crowd, and
cries of "Vi l'armee." M. Deroulede
made sort of triumphal procession
standing up on the carriage and waving
his long arms and screaming, give le
armee." The police We're powerless to
keep back the crowd. When the en-.
trance to the Pont de Ia Concorde was
reached, however, the cavalry sue
ceeded i'll turning the crowd and driy-
ing it back.
Then q diversion was effected bv the
approach of Edouard Drumont, editor
Of La Libre Parole, and probably the
worst sufferer from semitophobia in the
world. Nearer and nearer swept the
roar of "a bas les juifs," swelling in
volume as it rolled along. It was a
proud moment for M. Drumont. He
could not contain his emotion while
seated. In his passion for law and Or
der, he forgot that the cry 'sa bas" any
thing was forbidden. Standing up in
his carriage, he yelled himself hoarse
with "a bas les juifs; vive L armee." !"
Again and again the Place de la Con-
corde was swept clear by mounted
troops. Thicker and more compact
grew the crowd, and symptoms of irri-
tation began to show themselves. Its
good humor was evidently evaporating.
A cabman who drove slowly by had the
idea to cry "Vive Brisson." Immedi-
ately his vehicle was stormed and him
self roughly handled. M. LIE Proast,
police commissary, strobe forward to
arrest one of the crowd who yelled
"Mort aux juifs. - The anti -Semites
at once fell upon the poor commissary
and rained a shower of blows upon him
with their sticks. They even threw him
down and kicked him in the face. A
gentleman in an open carriage Jumped
down and got the bleeding man into his
conveyance. Shortly afterward he rec
ognized some of his assailants in group
OF shouting manifesters and had them ar
rested at once. Jules Guerren and a
dozen others We're also arrested, as thev
insisted upon doing their utmost to ex.
cite the crowd with their inhammatory
cries.
