Algiers, Jan. 23.-Anti-Jewish riots
were renewed here to-day. The mob in
vaded the Jewish quarter and pillaged
the shops, driving the Jewish mer-
chants into the streets. A squadron of
Chasseurs was ordered to the scene and
charged the mob with drawn swords,
but the mob reformed further on, cheer
ing for the army. Revolvers and dag
gers We're freely used. One man who
was stabbed in the back and shot in
the head died on the spot, many being
stabbed, one named C. A. Cayol dying
from his wounds this evening. The
crowd hearing of this became danger
ously excited, and resumed pillaging.
The fronts of six shops were destroyed
and the loot was burned. The police
charged the rioters, but were stubborn
ly resisted and We're powerless to re-
store order until the troops arrived.
Several policemen We're severely mall
treated. Many arrests for theft have
been made. The Jewish authorities
recommend their co-religionists to re-
main in DOORS Both the men killed are
Christians and their companions have
sworn to avenge them.

evening despite the efforts of the troops
to quell the riots. At 10 o'clock this
evening some Jewish flour stores were

the streets. The Zouaves then charged
the crowd with fixed bayonets and dis
persed it, many persons being injured.
At the moment this dispatch Is sent, IL

Paris, Jan. 23.-In anticipation of the
prohibited anti-Dreyfus demonstration
to-day, under the direction of the organ
izing committee of the anti-Dreyfus
meeting at the TovoH Vaux hall, last
Monday night, stringent measures were
taken by the authorities to preserve or
der The Place de Ia Concorde and the
Gardens of the Tuileries were held by
detachments of cavalry and infantry
and large forces of police. Nothing
happened until 2 o'clock this afternoon,
the time for the meeting to protest
against the pro-Dreyfus agitation in
the Sale Des Miles COLONIES in the
Montparnasse quarter.
The approaches to the hall were oc-
cupied by police and mounted republi-
can guards while the precaution was
taken of removing all chairs from the
interior. The police refused admission
to known anarchist, but many who
| Were less prominent evaded police vigil
ance, gained admission and created dis
turbances. MrThiegaud was elected to
| the chair and the noisiest disturbers
of the proceedings were expelled from
| the hall. M. Thiebaud proposed that a
wreath should be laid on the Strasburg
statue and the proposal was greeted
with cries of "Vive L Armee'' and "Vive
| l. France" AS the disturbance contin-
| ued M. Thiebaud got motion adopted
| to close the meeting.
| The wreath was then placed in car
rfage, but the police refused to allow
| the crowd to follow in a body and
| divided it into small groups In the
| meantime the anarchists had tried in
vain to organize a fresh meeting. The
| wreath was placed on the statue at 4:30
| this afternoon amid perfect order.
| Later in the evening the police dis
| persed large bodies of anti-Jewish dem
| onstrators in the Rue de la Fayette and
| at the office Of Aurora. But nothing
| serious occurred and there were but few
| arrests during the day.
