POLICE HAVE THE MASTERY.

been repeatedly driven back by police
charges, the crowd crying "Vive
FArmee" and ''Vive la Republique."
The police also dispersed crowd of
gamins who were burning bundles of
newspapers About 10 o'clock disor-
ders occurred on the Boulevard De Ma
genta and Boulevard De Strasbourg.
Several revolver shots were fired, but
nobody was injured.
Two newspaper kiosks were burned
and several arrests were made in con-
nection Herewith.
There is no change in the situation
at the building in the Rue De Cha
brol, where NJ. Jules Guerin and his
anti-Semite companions are entrenched
in state of siege against the police,
who have orders for their arrest.
a. m. Shortly after midnight
noisy crowds began demonstrating in
the Rue de Chabrol. but they were
soon dispersed by the police.

THOUSANDS IN THE STREETS.
PARIS, August 81, a. m.-Besides st.
Josephs Church two cafes were wrecked.
At late hour twenty thousand people
were in the Boulevard de Magenta, which
runs past the end of the Rue de Chabrol.
They were kept constantly moving by the
Republican guards, who made remark
able display of force. Large bodies of po-
lice were constantly operating in and
around the Rue de Chabrol and large
force was held in readiness at the nearest
barracks. In the collision between the an
archists and Guerinists the scuffiing was
serious and three companies of the Repub-
lican guards charged the contestants, sew
eral persons being injured
Fifty or sixty policemen were seen strik-
ing wildly at every person within reach on
the Boulevard de Magenta. A lad was
knocked down, and while trying to rise
a policeman literally jumped over him.
According to some accounts paving
stones were torn up and used as missiles.
In the Avenue de Taillebourg there was
A FIERCE CONFLICT.
The police had to draw their swords
against the anarchists who assailed them
with stones. Four policemen were wound
ed, two so seriously that they had to be
taken to the hospital.
A lamentable feature of the affair is that
it will be regarded as a pro-Dreyfus DEM
onstration and react greatly to the detri-
ment to the chances of acquittal.
1t is much to be feared that yesterdays
scenes were due to the weakness the gov
eminent has displayed over the Guerin af-
fair. The governments liberation and de-
sires to avoid bloodshed has been misn-
terpreted with the worst results.
A leg of mutton and other provisions
having been thrown from house opposite
and having fallen into the street they were
seized by the police. NJ. Guerin, enraged
at the loss OF his Sunday dinner. flung the
window open and shook his fist, exclaim-
ing: IF a single one of my men should
complain of hunger / will blow Lepines
Prefect of Police head off the first time
he passes through the street.
"You policemen who have the misfortune
to serve a band of scoundrels ought to let
things GO You can't allow US to die of
hunger All bon dieu, but we shall resist.
Send us up what our friends have thrown
US, or fire on US at once. savages."
1t appears that an anarchist demonstra-
ton was decided upon at meeting held
Saturday night. The Journal du Peuple,
edited by Sebastian Faure, published
manifesto denouncing the military party,
the anti-Semites, the monarchists and the
priests, and urged It's supporters to meet
force with force.
SHOULD Dreyfus be convicted" said the
manifesto. sit will be the triumph of ban
dts Should he be acquis ted. the military
section will be open TO rebellion"
The paper called on all anarchists to
demonstrate against the priests and the
Jesuits Copies of the manifesto were
scattered broadcast and the result was that
the anarchists fiocked into the streets
singing the "Carmagnole" and crying "A
bas Rochefort," "A bias Drumont," and "A
has Guerin." The Guerin affair is becom-
ing a complete farce.
An attempt was made 70 fire the choir
of St. Joseph's with petroleum and the
firemen were called in to quench the flames.
Several parishioners were severely naUied
in their efforts to defend the church from
sacrilege. The church is situated In the
poorest quarter of the city. No disorders
of any kind occurred in the fashionable
districts
