Sebastion Faure and Faberot, we'll
known revolutionary anarchists, were
the ringleaders. Faure, standing on
the pedestal Of the statue which rises
in the center of the Place de 10 Ropub-
lique, addressed the crowd. Among
other things he said that the anarchists
should be masters Of the streets.
The police interfered and disloged
Faure and Faberot, making three ar
rests. The crowd at this point dis

another attempt to stem the current,
and fresh, fierce fighting occurred, three
constables being wounded.
Faure and d'Horr jumped into a

DID DEWEY SAY TIP
Admiral Is Credited With Favorlug
Autonomy For Philippines.

The Naples correspondent Of The
London Daily News telegraphs the
substance of an interview he had with
Admiral Dewey there during the ad-
miral's recent visit.
The admiral said in his Judgment
the FilipinOs were capable of self-gov-
eminent and the way to settle the in
surrection and to insure prosperity
was to concede it to them. He de-
olared that he never was in favor of
violence toward the Filipinos and re-
marked that after autonomy had been
conceded, annexation might be talk

NEW SECRETARY MAY RESIGN.
RumOr Current In Washington That
Mr.. Root Is Tired Of His job.

An interesting story is going the
rounds in Washington that Secretary
Root will resign his portfolio. In q
word it is rumored that the secretary
is already sick of his job and that he
will be forced to abandon his post in
humiliation if he does not protect
himself by an early resignation.
In view of the fact that the new
secretary Of war has had charge OF the
department but a few weeks, this is
certainly a remarkable story to find q
start anywhere. But it is going around
and comes from apparently good aU,
thoritY.

The suggestion to re-establish the

Entrenched In a State of Siege.

sticks, ornaments aud posts from high
affairs were thrown down and trampled
under foot.
The crucihX above was made the
target for missiles and the figure Of
the Savior was fractured in several
places.
Then, while raucous voices sang the
"CarmRgnole, the chairs were carried
outside, piled up and set on fire in
the center. Of the square fronting the
church. When this stage was reached
the crucihx was pulled down and
thrown into the flames. Suddenly the
cry was raised that the statue of the
Virgin had been forgotten, and the
crowd returned and tore this down
also.
Meanwhile the sacristaD, who had
been captured by the anarchists, es-
capped and called the police ard repub-
lican guards, who promptly arrived
with many constables. They were
compelled to fall back in order to form
up into line of defense, as the anar-
ohists attacked them fearlessly with
knives.
At length the officers began to gain
the mastery. A score of anarchists
took refuge in an adjacent house.
Others intrenched themselves in the
1elfry and fercely defended themselves
by showering missels on the republic

lodged. Twenty anarchists were ar
rested, taken to the police station,
searched and found to be carrying re-
volyers, loaded sticks and knives.
When the police entered the church
the anarchists had just set fire to the
pulpit. The interior of the ediHce was
complete wreck Several valuable
old pictures that can never be replaced
were ruined.
There is no change in the situation
at the building in the Rue de Chabrol,
M. Jules Guerin and his anti-Semite
companions are entrenched in a state
of seige against the police who have
orders for their arrest.
An attempt was made to fire the
choir Of st. Joseph's with petroleum,
and the iremen were called to quench
the. flames.
Several pensioners were severely
mauled 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 oc-
Cured in the fashionable districts.
It is much feared that Sundays
scenes were due to weakness the gov
eminent displayed over the Guerin af-
fair. The governments desire to avoid
bloodshed has been misinterpreted
with the worst result.
It appears that the anarchist de-
monstration was decided upon at @
meeting held Saturday night.
The Journal du Peuple, edited by

festo denouncing the military party,
the anti-Semites, the monarchists aud
the priests, and urged its supporters
to meet force with force.

Conversation is decaying and we
are degenerating into unsocial silence,
observes a writer in the Philadelphia
Saturday Evening Post This is not
a negligible danger. Mans chief
duty-his unending duty-the proper
aim of life is to talk. Soldiers fight,
statesmen plan, Artists paint poets
rhyme merely that they may talk ana
be talked about. Men live nobly in
order to have fine topics of CONVERSE
tion. Books are written not so much
to be read as to be talked over. The
decay of conversation is a ready -made
subject for the critically minded man.
The divergence between the written
aud spoken language is growing wider
every day. We talk in a sort Of tele-
graphic slang. No sane man would
think of Introducing into his CONVEX
sation the phrases and words of the
written language, Very little of the
spoken language gets into print. In
the end the books will beat the
tongues.

did not write. We have been expecting

other company in the regiment. None
of the bows are very sick-just simply
played out,
Our duty is not very hard-a little
fatigue work about every three days,
and outpost guard every days, is all we
do: but the least little work or march
will do us up.
1t is still dry, but the rainy season will
set in soon.
There seems to be no chance OF the war
being closed before then, and there will
