with Attack on Lnborf.

PARIS. August 1.-THE Office Of the
Anti-Semite League In which NM.
Cuern, president Of the league, and Max
Regis. the noted Jew-baiter and ex-
Mayor OF Algiers, sought refuge from ar
rest on Saturday, were still besieged to-
day They We're guarded throughout the
night by force Of police, armed with
revolvers.
NJ. Guerin, his friends declared, would
fire on the troops II attacked. After at
tempting to gaiu the besiegers over TO
their side, the besieged men threatened
to pour boiling oil upon those outside.
This afternoon fresh warrant was
Issued for the arrest OF VI. Guerin. Ac-
cording 10 a French statute, his Efforts
punishable with penal servitude.
Sugnt denonstruuOns occurred here THIS
evening, but there WAS no disorder.
ATTACK ON LABORL.
With reference to the report that the
attack upon NJ. Labori covered an at
tempt TO steal documents, it Is said that
the last anonymous letter ne receiver
contained the following sentence: we
are going TO burn your box ana your
Dreyfus dossier.
The immediate cause of Saturdays ar
rests was a police discovery or treason
able correspondence in French and Bel
gian, revealing an intention TO call n
great meeting OF Royalists. Nationalist,
and Anu-Semites 20 plan measures for
the overthrow OF the republic. The idea
was 10 create disturbances that would
necessitate tho calling out OF the troops,
who would have fraternized-so the
scheme contemplated-wth the conspira-
tors. Then rushes were TO be made on
the Elysee Palace and the government
Offices. Finally. Minister Of War, named
by the Duke OF Orleans was to have re-
placed the Marquis de Gallifet.
IL Is impossible TO verify these details,
but IL is believed that matters were on
the eve OF becoming serious. and that the
attempt upon the life Of Labor was con-
nected with the plot.
