LABOR is at war with itself

LABOR is at war with itself,
competing, antagonizing, ex-
torting pennies from each
other, and capital walks away
with the earnings in glee. 1t
is unfortunate that labor is
not educated up to that point
where the industrial forces
will line up and present a
sold front against the com.
mon enemy.

M. Demange asked General Fabre
why he was SO positive about these
things when at the courtmartial OF
1894 he claimed to have no personal
knowledge of Dreyfus.
Fabre's previous evidence to this
effect was then read, and as the wide
discrepancy between that and his pres
ent testimony became evident the wit
ness grew red and stammered an ex-
planation.
Dreyfus then questioned the witness
and insisted that Fsbre was wrong in
his details.
Court adjourned at noon after the
solidest anti-Dreyfus day since Gener-
al Mercier testified.
All witnesses were stronger against
the accused than they had been before

expressed the opinion that the next

of greenbacks.

that includes this proviso. and thin ks

TORONTO, Ont, Aug .21.-No previous
contest for the Canada cup has ever
aroused such intense and widespread
interest on both sides of the bounda ry
line; as the races between the Geness ee
and the Beaver, which begin this af-
ternoon on Lake Ontario, at Toronto
harbor.
Hundreds of strangers are in town
from Chicago, Cleveland, Toledo, Mil
waukee, Buffalo, Detroit, New York,
Rochester and many other cities,
eager to witness the great struggle be-
tween the two speediest yachts on the
great lakes.
The Chicago delegation is especially
large, the unusual interest taken in
the contest by the Chicago yachtsmen
being due to the fact that the Amer
lean challenger will race under the
colors of the Chicago Yacht club
The Beaver, which defends the cur,
represents the Royal Yacht club of
Montreal.

Almost d Revolution Broke
Out in Paris
Sunday.
ANARCHY'S RED FLAG
Was FIapped in the Face of
the Authorities
People Injured and
Many Arrested

PARIS, Ang. 2I.-Paris is quiet to-
day after one of the most exciting per-
iods in its history since the bloody
days of the commune.
The police are out in force and any
gathering, however small, is at once
dispersed.
The authorities, for the moment,
have the situation at hand, but Paris
is fearful, now that the anarchists and
socialists have a taste OF bloodshed,
that further turmoil and riot will en-
sue.
General Gallifet, the minister of
war, who suppressed the commune in
1870 with an iron hand, is preparing
for an emergency.
Dreyfus and anti-Dreyfus papers are
denouncing the government for not
coping with the rioters yesterday. 1t
may be said that the government Of
fcers watched the situation keenly
Sunday and became convinced that the
police aud guards could cope with the
rioters.
Galiifet would not have hesitated to
send in the troops had he deemed that
the situation demanded such action.
Dreyfus sympathizers regret the de-
monstration and fear it will be regard
ed -as a pro-Dreyfus affair, thereby
hurting Dreyfus's chances of acquittal.
The riots were started by the re-
volutionary anarchists under the lead
ership ofiSebsstian Faure.
Nearly four hundred persons were In
jured, including so police agents.
The police have made $50 arrests.
COMMUNE DAYS RECALLED.
PARIS, Aug. 21.-The days of the
commune were recalled yesterday by
riots and disturbances.
The acts of the wild mob are not
thought to be due to the Dreyfus affair,
but may have been directed by the
prison er's opponents.
The mob was led by ranting social
lists.
Gouilliar, the commissary of police,
was stabbed twice and shot while lead
ing the police against the rioters.
This confused the police, who gave
way.
Maddened men attacked the various
buildings and finally brought up in
front of ST. Joseph's church, wher e
they pulled out seats and furnishings
and then set fire 20 the edifice, after
tearing out the cruci6x which was
thrown into the flames.
Many most shocking depred ations
and sacriligeous acts were commit
ted.
At2 O'Clock this morning twenty
thousand people assembled near the
wrecked church and other buildings.
