including several policemen. No one. so far as
known was injured by firearms. Nearly all were
hurt by being crushed or trodden under foot

At a late hour twenty thousand people wers
in the Boulevard de Magenta. which runs past
the end OF the Rue de Chabro They were
kept constantly moving by the Republican
Guards who made a remarkable display OF
force.
| Large bodies OF police were constantly oper~
! ating in and around the Rue de Chabro and
| large force was held in readiness at the nearest
| barracks.
In the collisions between the Anarchists and
Guerinites the scuffng was serious. and three
companies OF the Republican Guards charged
the contestants. several persons being injured
| Fifty or sixty policemen were seen striking
wildly at every person within reach in the

| SWORDS AGAINST PAVING STONES.
| In the Avenue de Taillebourg there was
| fierce conflict The police had to draw their
swords against the Anarchists who assailed
them with stones. Four policemen were
wounded. two so seriously that they had to b
| taken to the hospital.
A lamentable feature Of the affair is that Il
will be regarded as a pro-Dreyfus demonstra-
ton, and react greatly to the detriment OF the
chances Of acquittal.
II is much TO be feared that yesterdays
scenes were due to the weakness the Govern
ment has displayed over the Guerin affair. The
| Governments toleration and desire to avoid
| bloodshed has been misinterpreted. with the
| worst results.
! II appears that the Anarchist demonstration
was decided upon at a meeting held Saturday
| night The journal du Peuple" edited by Sc
bast,an Faure published a manifesto denounc-
ing the military party, the Anti-Semites. mo
Monarchists and the priests. and urging its sup
porters to meet force with force.
Should Dreyfus be convicted" said the mani-
I festo. ut will be the triumph OF bandits. Should
he he acquitted the military section will be In
open rebellion"
The paper called on all Anarchists to demon
| strate against the priests and Jesuits.
SINGING THE "CARMAGNOLE"
Copies OF the manifesto were scattered broad
| cast, and the result that the Anarchists
| focked into the streets. singing the "Carma'
| enoe, and crying "A bas Rochefort" "A bas
| Drumont," and "A bas Guerin!'
| The Guerin affair is becoming a complete
| farce.
| Quiet has now been restored.
