RFAY USED HIS LEFT A CYCLONE OF PASSION
TURNED LOOSE IN THE STREETS
OF PARIS
Bloody Noses Give Good
Promise of the More Serious
Rioting to Come

NEW YORK. Oct. S.-A dispatch to the
Herald from Paris says:
Rev!sionists and ant.-rev.sion.sts seem
to be spelling for fight. Captain Dreyfus'
whether guilty or innocent, has certainly
caused a veritable cyclone Of passion to be
let loose.
Paris was in a turmoil all Sunday. Crowds,
scuffie, uproar and arrests were the pro-
gram for the last twelve hours. At this
moment the mounted republican guards are
patroll!ng certain parts Of the city, and all
the police were on the alert About
score Of people are said to have been Sc
riously wounded N the various free lights
which have broken the monotony OF the
Pans!au Sunday. In one quarter alone over
forty arrests have been made. or these
thirteen have been kept and the others lib
Grated
Among the latter Is Francis de Presence,
one Of the leading authorities on foreign
politics in France and leading writer OF
the Temps. With him were ar
rested NJ. Ernest Vaughn, director Of
the Aurore, and NJ. Morhardt, another OF
the Temps editorial staff. All three were
to have addressed a meeting in favor OF
revision in the Dreyfus case. This mani
festation was announced to be held in the
Sale Wagram.
Paul de Roulede, the French patriotic
special!st. however, declared he was going
to turn up at the meeting with strong
contingent of true Frenchmen," and nat
urally at this the ant.-revisionist proprietor
ala rned and
called on the police to keep both camps out
Of the hall.
When NJ. de Presence and his colleagues
arrived at the meeting place they found it
shut ard surrounded by strong Gordon Of
police, busly engaged in keeping back
crowd var.ously estimated as numbering
from 1900 to 20 600 persons.
In spite of the protests Of NJ de Presenze's
party, who had paid the rent of the hall,
the police refused admission to any one
Arguments and expostulation were both
uuava.ling, as the brigad.er Of the police
remained .nexorable.
The crowd, however, had grown impa-
tent or bolder for it finally broke through
the ring of police From crushing to deliv-
erng blows was but step and many took
It, The police agents returned them with
interest in the shape Of arrests. At once
the fight became great. The police made a
charge and drove the crowd back to the
Place des Ternes.
Blood flowed in abundance from roses and
in the middle Of the rot the three organiz-
ers of the projected meeting at Sale Wag-
ram were arrested by order OF M.
Boulanger. the police division commissary,
and led off to the station. They there found
company enough and to spare, almost all
bearing the marks Of having been handled
with anything but care.
