Paris, Aug. 15.-The warrant for the ar
rest of NJ. Guerin, president of the Anti
Semitic League. who with sympathizers,
has been barricaded since Saturday last
in the offices of the league. has been
placed In the hands of Magistrate Fabre
Guerin is now regarded as an outlaw in
a state of rebellion since his notification
of the issue of the warrant. He cannot
claim the right Of citizen of exemption
from arrest from sunset to sunrise, and
the persons garrisoning the headquarters
of the league, numbering about forty, are
in the same box. Strict orders have been
given to arrest every one attempting to
enter or leave the building. Three of
Guerins friends who attempted to leave
the place this morning were arrested They
all carried siX-chambered revolvers, hatch
cts and what Frenchmen designate as
American knuck3e-dusters," otherwise
brass knuckles. The project of police
is still awaiting orders from the govern
ment in regard to what action is to be
taken against Guerin.
NJ. Guerin this evening displayed an anti
Semitic tri-colored flag on the roof of the
anti-Semite headquarters. On the flag
was a motto reading France for French
men,"
NJ Waldeck- Rosseau conferred several
times during the day with M. Lopine, the
project OF police, and in consideration Of
the fact that recourse to force in the ar
rest of NJ. Guerin might lead to a useless
sacrifice of life, entailing still graver dem
onstrations at the obsequies of the victims,
the premier decided not TO expose the life
of any man, soldier, policemen or fireman.
but 10 leave NJ. Guerin a choice between
self-imprisonment and arrest.
Meanwhile il looks as though this affair
would have a rather tame ending. The
friends of NJ. Guerin are busying them
selves TO rescue him from an impossible
and foolish position.
Mr. Stevens, son of the weu-known ar
fist, obtained from the government a per
nit to enter NJ. Guerin's house and ad-
wise him to surrender at discretion, as
surfing him that no one doubted his cour-
age but that he ought not TO compromise
his friends and be the cause of placing
human life at stake.
Joseph Lasies, anti-Semite, deputy for
Gers, who was furnished with a similar
permit visited NJ. Guerin at O'Clock this
evening and conferred with him for three
quarters of an hour. making every effort
to persuade him and his associates that
further resistance was vain and danger
GUS AT about 1880 NJ. Lasies went to
| see NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau. In the pre-
miers absence he was received by his
chief of cabinet. In the course of an in
terview afterward NJ. Lasies denied that
he was in charge of any negotiations or
represented either side He said he was
| simply acting on his own responsibility,
| because he was anxious to avoid strife,
Il believe" Nj. Lasies continued that
| the matter will be arranged tomorrow.
| Nj. Guerin and his friends are over-eX-
| cited. They are exhausted by sleepless
nights, and also the mOmentary eXpecta-
| ton of a police coup. l have succeeded
! in obtaining an assurance from NJ Wal
| deck-Itousseau that they will not be dis
| turbed tonight, and may get needful re-
pose. Tomorrow 1 shall see the premier
and arrange terms by which NJ. Guerin
and his. associates shall constitute them
! selves prisoners. The premier Is not in
| tractable, and will doubtless grant their
wish TO be treated with indulgence, and
| Guerin's request TO be allowed TO sur
render at the police depot instead of be
| ing arrested in the Rue Chabrol. l may
| say that l have spoken not only in my
own name, but also in that of NJ Dru-
mont"
There was considerable excitement ac-
companed by demonstrations and scuhles
| in the Rue Chabrol, in the course of the
evening and the police made several ar
| rests.
AS an anti-Semitic group was standing
| at the corner of the Faubourg Saint Denis
| and the Rue de Valencennes this evening,
some passers by were greeted with cries

they were surrounded and threatened by

ing three men. One of them, a man named
Camille, was taken to a hospital seriously
| wounded. The alleged anarchist was ar

At the annual banquet Of Bonapartists
to-day, NJ. Mignol, presiding, a telegram
from Prince Victor Napoleon was read
