His Offices.

Is Confidently Expected by the OFF,
cialS--HiS Friends Have Urged Him
to Submit to ArreSt--Armed Men
Placed Under Arrest.

Paris. Aug. 15.-M. Guerin, president of
the ~anti-Semite league, who, with sympa-
thizers, has been barricaded since Sat
urday in the offices of the league, and
still holds the fort this morning, is now
regarded as an outlaw in a state of rebel
lion. Three inmates attempted to leave
the house this morning and were prompt
ly arrested. They were all armed to the
teeth. carrying loaded six-shooters and
hatchets and wearing brass knuckles.
Leading Jews of Europe are e%ndeavor-
ing to form an international association
for their defense against the crusade ex-
pected again the Jews after the Dreyfus
trial is ended.
M. Guerin this evening displayed an
antl-Semite tri-color flag on the roof of
the anti-Semite headquarters. On the
flag was a motto reading: France for
~Frenchmen."
NJ. Rousseau conferred several
times during the day with NJ. Lepine. the
project OF police. In consideration of the
fact that a recourse to force in the ar
rest of Guerin might lead to a useless
sacrifice of life, entailing still graver
oNAOAANs CT lS oDotlulGS VI he
victims. the project decided not to ex-
pose the life of any man. soldier, police
man or fireman, but to leave NJ. Guerin a
choice between self-iimprisonment and ar
rest. it looks as if the affair
would have a rather tame ending. The
friends of M. Guerin are busying them
selves to save him from an impossible
and foolish position. Mr.. Stevens, son of
the W~ell-knoWn artist. obtained from the

house and advise him to surrender at dis
erection, assuring him that no one doubted
his courage, but that he ought not to
compromise his friends and be the cause
of placing human life at stake.
Joseph L.asces, anti-Selnite deputy for
Geers. who was furnished with a similar
permit. visited NJ. Guerin at Q 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 NJ. Lasces
went to see M. Rousseau. In
the premier's absence he was received by
his chief of cabinet. In the course of an
interview afterward M. Lasces denied
that he was in charge of any negotia-
tons or represented either side. He said
he was simply acting IN his own respon-
sibility because he was anxious to avoid
strife.
Il believe" NJ. Lasces continued, chat
the matter may be arranged tomorrow.
NJ. Guerin and his friends are over-ex-
cited. They are exhausted by sleepless
nights II the momentary expectation of
a police coup. | AVE succeeded in OBJ
tanning an assurance from M. Waldeck-
Rousseau that they will not be disturbed
tonight n may get needful repose. To-
morrow l shall see the premier and ar
range terms by which M. Guerin and his
associates shall constitute themselves
prisoners. The prisoner is not intractable
and will doubtless grant their wish to be
treated with Indulgence, and NJ. Guer-
ms request will be allowed to surrender
at the police depot instead of being ar
rested in the Rue Chabrol. I may say
that l have spoken. not only in my own
name. but also in that of M. Drumont."
There was considerable excitement, ac-
companied by demonstrations and scuf-
files, in the Rue Chabrol in the course of
the evening, and the police made several
arrests.
The ~anti-Semite group was standing at
the corner of Foulborg ST. Denis and Rue
de Valenciennes this evening. Some pass
with the Jews" whereupon they were
surrounded and threatened by the DEM
Onstrators. A supposed anarchist then
fired several revolver shots, Wounding
three men. One of them, a man named
Camille, was taken to a hospital serious
ly wounded. The alleged anarchist was
arrested.
