spoRdent of a Paris newspaper tele-
graphs that the internal machines sent
to NJ. Labori have been opened in the
military laboratory at that place and
have been found to be filled with gun
cotton.
Paris, Aug. 22.-Anticipating an at
tack today from the gendarmes occupying
an adjacent house. NJ. Guerin, president
of the Auti-Semite league, and his com
panions, who are barricaded in the head
quarters of the league, poured petroleum
in a room near the point from which the
attack was expected, preparatory to set
ting it on fire. The anticipated move On
the part of the officers, however, did I
materialiZe.
The streets in the neighborhood of the
Rue de Chabrol, in which the building
occupied by tie AntiSemites is located,
are quiet today, but strong force of
troops is remaining on guard there.
The government has stopped all tele-
grams on the rioting since the early dis
patches were sent. 1t is impossible to
learn when the embargo will be raised.
a magistrate today interrogated Sc
bastian Faure, the Anarchist orator, who
denied the slightest participation i'll the
attempt to murder Police Commissary
Coulter.
Ten of the men arrested for taking part
in Sundays demonstration, were CON
demned today to undergo from a week
to two months imprisonment.
1t is said that the government will de-
stroy the house in which Guerin, the
anti-Semite leader, has barricaded him
self, if sucn action is necessary. Large
bodies of troops are stationed along the
boulevardS of Paris.
Gucrin gives no sign of yielding. He
appeared on the balcony when Il fresh
troop arrived to guard the street. He
looked contemptuouSly on the maneuvers
of the cavalry, bowed to someone who
chcered him from the opposite house, and
then retired. He has not appeared since
Those who saw him say he looked des-
perateiy haggard and worn. The sensa-
tonal papers appear as usual with fam
ing headlines, praislng Guerin for his
valiant resistance to governmental tyr
amy, but the end must come before
many hours. Guerin and his followers
are entirely out of food and cannot es-
cape, because every possible means of
egress is guarded night and day.
The rumor that NJ. Deschanel, presi-
dent of the chamber, has returned to
fariS for the purpose of comforting with
the heads of the political groups as to
whether or not he ought to call together
the chamber probably is without founda-
ton. NJ. Dcschanel is in Paris. but he
has not yet considered this question. and
his friends say he thinks nothing would
be more dangerous than to summon the
chamber, because this would be a virtual
acknowledgment that things are in too
bad way TO be left to the cabinet alone.
The government has charged Maitre
Wallet to proceed against SefyHstian n
Faure and his friends for the part they
took in yesterdays disorders. and also
against those who pillased St Joseph's
church
