Denounce Government.
PARIS, Aug. 15.-As an enti-san,i+a
group was standing at the corner of the
Faubourg St. Denis and the Rue de
Valencienpes, this morning, some pass
ers-by were greeted with cries of Down
with the Jews, whereupon they we-e
surrounded and threatened by the demon
strators. A supposed anarchist then fred
several revolver shots, wounding three
men. One of the men, a man na,nad
Camille, was taken to tbs hospital scrf-
ously wounded. The alleged anarchist
was arrested.
At the annual banquet of Bonapartists,
today NJ. Mignot presiding, a telegram
from Prince Victor Napoleon was read.
saying he relied on the various committees
to act energetically under the present
grave circumstances The reading of the
telegram was greeted with shouts of
''Vive rempereur!' "V1ve Guerinr'
The Young Royalists also assembled at
banquet at ST. Maur, today, in honor
of the name day Of the Duchess of Or
leans. Violent attacks Were made on the
recent measures of the government
M. Waldeck-Rosseau conferred several
times during the day with NJ Lepine the
prefect of police, and in consideration of
the fact that a recourse to force in the
arrest Of M. Guerin might lead to a use
less sacrifice of life, entailing still erayer
demonstrations at the obseQuies of the
victims, the premier decided not to expose
the life of any man, soldier policeman or
fireman, but to leave M. Guerin a choice
between elf-imprisonment and arrest.
Meanwhile it looks as though this affair
would have rather tame ending The
friends of M. Guerin are busying them
selves to rescue him from an impossible
and foolish position.
M. Chevins, son Of the well known
artist, obtained from the government a
permit to enter M. Guerin's house and
advise him to surrender with discretion,
assuring him that no one doubted his
courage, but that he ought not to COM
promise his friends and be the cause of
placing human life at stake.
Joseph Lasces, anti-Semitic 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 Guerin and his associates
that further resistance was vain and dan
gerous. At about half past 10 M. Lasces
went to see NJ Waldeck- -Rosseau. In the
premier's absence he was received by his
chief of cabinet. In the course of an in
terview afterward RI. Lasces denied that
ne 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.
II believe NJ. Lasces continued, that
the matter will be arranged tomorrow
M. Guerin and his friends are over
excited They are exhausted by Sleep
less nights and tbs momentary expecta-
tion of police coup, have succeeded
in obtaining an assurance from M. Wal
deck-Rosseau that they will not be dis
turbed tonight and may get needful re-
pose Tomorrow I shall see the premier
and arrange terms by which M Guerin
and his associates shall constitute them
selves prisoners. The premier Is not in
tractable, and viii doubtlessly grant
their wish to be treated with indulgence
and M. Guerin's wish to be allowed to
surrender at the police department in
stead of being arrested in the Rue Cha
brote. / may say ths.v have spoken, not
only in my own name, but also in that of
M. Drumont."
There was considerable excitement, not
accompanied by disturbances, in the Rue
de Chabrote this evening, and the no.
lice made several arrests
