PARIS, Aug. 21.-The papers of this
city, in commenting on the riots which
took place here yesterday, are unani-
nous in pronouEcing the situation to
be of the most serious character. The
Conservative and Nationalist organs
accuse the Government of provoking
yesterdays bloodshed by unjustifiable
arrests.
The "Gaulois'' reproaches the Cabinet
for not having measures taken to pre-
vent the occurrences.
The Radical revisionists and Repub-
lican papers insist on the necessity of a
firmness on the part of the Ministry
and declare the Ministers must defend
the republic against secret machina.
tions and attempts at an uprising.
The Radical press protests against
the disorder, and hopes the police will
prevent recurrence of them.
The Figaro" expresses the belief
that the troubles are over, and says
the Government has decided to act
with the utmost vigor against NJ
Guerin, the President of the Anti
Semitic League, who with companions
has been barricaded in the headquar-
ters of the league since August 18th.
1t is also said the Premier, M. Wal
Rousseau, thinks there will be no
further disturbance in the streets Of
Paris.
The "Rapper' blames Sebastian
Faure, the anarchist orator, for pro-
voking troubles at a time when it is
the duty of everybody to urge calm
ness.
The "Petit Bleu" and other papers
urge the Government, in view of the
serioI sness of the situation, to reassure
the provinces by Fastening the pro-
.ceedings in the prosecution of the cases
of those who have been charged with
conspiring against the republic.
The Rue de Charbout. in which is
located the building in which NJ. Guerin
and his companions are intrenched, and
it's neighborhood to-day presented an
everyday aspect The investment OF
the besteged anti-Semites is heing
closely maintained, and the windows
of the house have been closed. A doctor
who visited a sick inmate of the head
quarters reports that the morale of
the besieged party is excellent, but that
they are worn out by the prolonged
loss of sleep.
From to-day on all the churches will
be guarded by pickets of Republican
Guards. and detachments of infantry
and cavalry will be held in readiness
for eventualities.
The damage done by the rioters to
the church of st. Joseph is estimated
at 5000 francs. The church is sur
rounded by a Gordon Of police, and
no one is allowed to approach the
building it is pointed out that the
rioting persons are from 10 to 20 years
old. The Rue de Chabrot is occupied
by the Seventy and One Hun
dred and Thirty-first Infantry, with
fixed bayonets. All the approaches are
guarded, and it was impossible to
traverse the crowds which are every
where increasing.
In consequence of yesterdays events
judicial proceedings have been insti-
tuted against Sebastian Faure and four
others for rebellion, acts of violence
and attempts to murder, and against
divers persons for robbing a building
and burning it's furniture. Also for
breaking windows and melting to RI
otous assemblage. A judicial investi-
cation will be had before Magistrate
de Wales.
A member of the Anti-Semite League
says that M. Guerin has three days
more provisions.

GOVERNOR AND CoMMITTEE.
Disagreement Over Arrangements
for Reception.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2l.-Goy-
ernor Gage will not be aboard the Gov
ernor Markham when that tug goes
out to meet the returning California
Volunteers. The cause of this is dis
agreement between the Citizens Exc
cutive Committee and the Governor
over the details of the reception. On
Sunday Adjutant General Seamans ap-
peared before the committee to enter
protest against certain features of the
program for the marine parade, which
he evidently regarded as calculated to
belittle the gubernatorial dignity. One
of these was the proposal to have the
yacht Aggie towed by the Markham. In
the controversy that ensued the Cen
era1 and Messrs. Lawrence and Martin
exchanged language, and the parting OF
the gentlemen was anything but
amicable
An outcome of this unpleasantness
developed this morning shortly after
the committee had resumed it's sitting.
Mayor Phelan, who was in the chair,
responded to a telephone call, and was
informed over the wire that the caller
was Adjutant General Seamans.
"All right, General, this is Phelan,
responded the Mayor
"Well,'' said the General, 'I desired
to inform you and the other members
of the Citizens Executive Committee
that I recollect having stated at yes
terday's meeting that Governor Gage
would take part in the boat parade ar
ranged by you
Yes
"Well, the Governor this morning de-
cided that he will not take part
Eyes; is that all?"
''That is ALL
The message did not evoke much
comment. 1t was decided to return the
Markham to Commodore Spreckels, and
the matter was then allowed to drop.
The Bulletin this evening prints the
following order from Governor Gage to
Adjutant General Seamans:
Adjutant General w. H. Seamans-
Sir: Everything has been arranged.

of the State may in some respects be
modified if the committees making ar

regard known to me in season to permit
of such modification.
I shall be at the Palace Hotel until
after the reception is over and will be
glad to grant any assistance possible.

The Lafayette Gazette says
that holders of insurance poll
cies in that town have petitioned
the Secretary Of the Southwest
ern Tariff Association at Atlanta,
GA, asking u reduction Of rates.
The petition shows clearly that
this town is being Disseminated
against. 1t is shown that other
towns, with the same system of
fire protection are given the ben
eft Of rates much lower than
those paid by Lafayette. This
town has a we'll equipped fire
system and there is no justice in
the action Of the Southwestern
Tariff Association in retaining
the rates at the present high fig
ures. The Gazette understands
that several other towns will join
Lafayette in demanding fair
treatment at the hands of the AS
