THE EXCITEMENT IN PARIS.
Riots Between the Revisionists and the
Antt-Revtstonfsts.

Paris, June S.-Slight riots occurred
this evening between the revslonists and
anti-revisionists at a meeting addressed
by M. Francis De Prossenso, a Temps
in the Clichy district of Paris. There
We're several fights between the rioters
and the police, who charged the popu-
lace. Finally the revisionists made a
move toward the residence of M. Iola,
with the object of demonstrating, but
the police interfered. Several revolver
shots Were fired during the disturbances,
and twenty persons We're placed under
arrest.
In the lobbies of the chamber of depu-
ties to-day there was much talk of the
possibility of the overthrow of the Du-
puy ministry The refusal of the gov
ernment to allow M. Joseph Lasies, an
ti-semite and anti-revisionist deputy for
Gers, to interpelate on the Dreyfus af-
fair, led to riots this morning. The
motion was finally shelved by an over
whelming majority.
There are increasing indications that
there will be violent scenes at Long
thdilip NHot FitSuiil oH touAuoy' % va
rious parties are expressing determin-
alton to demonstrate. The cabinets have
decided to take very decided measures to
prevent disorders. All the available po-
lice forces will be rnobilized and the
police will be ordered to arrest every
one utterng cries against the president
and government in the streets of Paris,
The Echo De Paris says fifteen police
vans will be sent there in readiness to
convey arrested persons The papers
announce that the prefect of police has
authorized the reopening Of the Auto
mobile club.

WNED IN MILL RIVER.
Eight Year Old Otto Tietjen Got Beyond
Hts Depth.

Otto Tletjen, the eight year-old-son Of
William Tietjen of No. Ridge street,
was drowned about 4:90 yesterday af-
ternoon while bathing in Mill river near
the corner Of Blatchley avenue and
View street. The boy, with two COM
panions about his own age, Raymond
Stewart and Otto Kiessett, was in
swimming and got beyond his depth
and sank. His two companions were
two small to render any assistance, but
they gave the alarm and Elliott Clark,
a young man who lives at 121 View
street, happened to be near by and
hearing their cries hurried to the scene.
He was too late to save young Tietjen,
as he had sunk and did not reappear.
Clark, however, dove and brought up
the body.
The remains were taken to the boys
home on Ridge street. Medical Exam
iner White was notified and after an
investigation decided that the death
was due to accidental drowning. The
police are expecting other drowning ac-
cidents within the next few days, as
they say that drownings in Mill river
usually go in threes, and that two more
are now due. The banks of the river
at this time Of the year are lined with
boys in swimming, most of them very
small boys, and it is to be wondered at
that more are not drowned The father
of young Tietjen is a cigar maker en-
ployed by John Writ.

McGOyern Whips barrett.

New York, June S.--Terry McGovern,
the irresistible Brooklyn bantam weight
boxer, added another scalp to his belt
tonight at the Broadway Athletic club
by forcing Billy Barrett of this city to
quit in the middle of the tenth round,
which was to have been a twenty-five
round fight at catch weights. Barrett
had the advantage of weight by a cou-
pie of pounds but was in splendid shape.
McGovern kept pouring on the body, ad-
minstering severe punishment at close
quarters in the tenth round and sent
right and left to the head with telling
effect Terry's work was so fast and
heavy that Barrett had not a ghost of a
show and after he had lasted about half
way through the tenth round Barrett
received a smash on the left jaw that
proved the fatal blow, and measuring
his length Of the flor Of the ring. He
refused to get UP until the referee had
counted him out.

GRIDLEY y. r. BRYANT DEAD.
At One Time One of the Best Known
Architects In the COuntrv

Boston, June 8.-Gridley James Fox
Bryant died to-day at the home for
aged men, this city, aged eighty-three
years. In his day he was probably the
best known architect in the country
having designed and supervised various
public buildings throughout the coun-
try. He was born in Boston in 1915, a
year that was the coldest on record and
on the night of August 20, which goes
down In history as unprecedentedly cold
which may account for Mr.. Bryant's as
sertion that he was never thoroughly
warm in his life. His father Gridley
Bryant, was also one of the most re-
markable men of his generation. He
was an ardent mechanic and inventor.
He built the first railroad in America
in 1881, at the Quincy quarries, made to
transport stone for the Bunker Hill
monument. The elder Bryant was the
inventor of the two wheel and four
wheel truck, which has been on cars
since, and invented and built the first
turnabout In this country.

Washington, Jan. S.-Of11cials here are
in doubt as to whether Aguinaldo in de-
claring his dictatorship is animated by
q desire to rid himself of the refractory
generals, Pillar and Luna, or whether he
intends to consolidate in his own hands
the power to make terms of peace. 1t
is known from the reports from Presi-
dent Schurman Of the American Philip
pine commission that these two gener-
ais owe their allegiance to Aguinaldo,
but their attitude towards the peace ne
gotiations have made these negotiations
Intellectual, the civilian members of the
Filipino joint commission are dominated
by the military element controlled
by these generals. 1t is believed
that if Aguinaldo can bend these men to
his will and assume supreme control he
will at once make for peace being able
to secure better terms for himself than
he would otherwise.

INVESTIGATING THE TRUSTS
METHODS OF THE STdND1RD OIL
COMPANY EXPOSED.

Testimony of Former Employee Before
the Industrial lCommission-Compet
Differ rent Grades OF OIL Drawn from
the Same Tank-DoceptiOn Practicrd.
Washington, June S.-The Industrial
commission to-day resumed it's investi-
cation of trusts, the Standard Oil COM
pany receiving especial attention. w.
H. Clark of Ohio, who on last February
was employed by the Standard Oil COM
pany in various towns in that state, but
was then suspended, testified that while
employed at Marietta the Standard had
ousted old firms from the business by
its competition and then put up the
price of oil. He said that eight nominal
grades of oil We're sold, the faucet be-
ing turned in different directions for diff
ferent grades This was done, he said,
under instructions from the managers of
the Standard company.
At Columbus Mr.. Clark was the cash
Ter of the Standard company and at that
point he said much oil was adulterated.
At Springfield Mr.. Clark said he was
wagon salesman and instructions there
were to get the trade, regardless of the
price. Some refined oil was sold as low
as four cents and here as many as four
nominal grades of oil was drawn from
one tank. He had spoken to the man.
agement Of the dishonesty of these prac-
tices and he had been told that it was
none of his business about such matters,
but to do what he was told At Urbana
he said he was manager for the STAN
dard company. Here a competitor was
driven out by a threat to let the price
down to one cent a gallon.
The competitor afterward went to the
poorhouse. Witness said he was man
ager at Newark. There the work was
very hard because Of the great range
of prices. One man would get oil for
several cents while his next door neigh
Dor would pay nine cents. The witness
testified that at Newark the company
bought building from over a leaser's
head who was doing competitive bus
mess, and Mr. Clark with other men
went into the building in the absence Of
the competitor loaded the building on
carts and carried it away. For this he
(Mr Clark was complimented and was
to have been rewarded with a two
weeks vacation, while the competitor
was so frightened that he went out of
the business This was not accomplish
ed, however, until all his customers had
been located by boy employed to fol-
low his wagon on bicycle. At Newark
a customer wanted oil from Cleveland.
He was satisfied by supplying him out
of barrel painted red and marked it as
if from Cleveland. He said the same oil,
however, that other people got was given
to him. He said there was often diff
ference of two cents a gallon in the
prices of oil between places where there
was competition and places where there
was none.
