Lively scrimmages.
PARIS, August 21.-2 a. m.-Besides
St. Joseph's church, two cafes were
wrecked. AZ a late hour twenty thou
sand people were in the Boulevard de
Magenta, which runs past the enl Of
the Rue de chabroi. They were kept
constantly moving by the republican
guards, who made remarkable display
Of force. Large bodies Of police were
constantly operating In and around the
Rue de Chabrol, and a large force was
held in readiness at the nearest bar
racks. In the collision between the
anarchists and the GuerInists the
scufilng was serious, and three COM

injured.

monarchists and the priests, and urged
its supporters to meet force with

The paper called on all anarchists to
demonstrate against the priests and the
Jesuits. Copies OF the manifest were
scattered broadcast, and the result was
that the anarchists fiocked into the
streets singing "carmRgnole," and cry
ing: "a bas Rochefort," "A bas Bru-
mont" and "a bas Guerin." The
Guerln affair is becoming complete
farce.
At a. m. the prefecture Of police
gave the following statistics OF yester-
day's riots: Three hundred and eighty
persons were injured. Three hundred
