Terrible Paris Riots


pictures that can never be replaced
were ruined.
After the mob had been driven away,
Able K. Court, the incumbent, collect
ed the fragments of the sacrament and
replaced them in the ctborium. AS he
did so he was heard bitterly lamenting.
The people in the houses near by ex-
tinguished the fire.
Midnight-Since 8 O'Clock the de-
monstrators, 81 far as Care de lEste,
have been repeatedly driven back by
the police charges, the crowd crying,
''Vive I'Armee. )" and "Viqe Ia Repu-
blique."
The police also dispersed crowd OF
crowd OF gamins, who were burning
bundles of newspapers.
About 10 o'clock disorders occurred
on the Boulevard de Magnetic and Bou-
levard de Strasburg. Several shots
were exchanged but no one was 1pJur-
ed.
The newspaper kiasko were burned,
and several arrests we're made in con-
nection Herewith.
There is no change in the situation
at the building of the Rue de Chabrol,
where M. Jules Guerin and his anti
Semitic companions are intrenched In a
state of siege against the police, who
have orders for his arrest.
MANY PERSONS INJURED.
Shortly after midnight noisy crowds
began demonstrating In the Rue de
Chabron, but they were soon dispersed
by the police.
Up to the present hour ffty-six per-
sons have been reported injured, in
Guiding several policemen. No one as
far as known, was Injured by irearms.
Nearly all were hurt by being crushed
dnv~ mi z.
ers who had taken refuge In the court
yard of the Care de I'Este, was expel-
led by the police, who made twenty
five arrests. Qaiet has now been re
stored. =
The prefecture or police gives the
following statistics of yesterdays riots:
Three hundred and eighty persons
injured; three hundred and sixty
were taken to the hospitals; fifty
nine police agents were wounded, be-
sides Commissaries Gostier and Dolls
mine: one hundred and fifty persons
were arrested, of whom eighty are de
tanned in custody.
PRo-DREYFUS DEMONSTRATION.
Besides St. Joseph's church, two
cafes were wrecked.
At late hour 20, 600 people were in
the Boulevard de Magenta, which runs
past the end of Rue Chabrol. They
were kept constantly moving by the
republican guards, who made q re-
markable display of force.
Large bodies of police were con-
stantly operating in and around
the Rue de Chabrol, and q large force
was in readiness at the barracks. In
the collisions between the anarchists
and Guerinites. the scuffing was Sc
rious, and three companies OF the re-
publican guards charged the contest
ants, several persons being injured.
Fifty or sixty policemen literally jump
ed over them. According to accounts,
paving stones were torn up and used
as missiles. In the avenue de Talli-
bourg there was fierce conflict. The
police had to draw their swords against
the anarchists, who assaulted them with
stones. Four policeman were wounded
two 80 seriously thot that they had to
be taken to the hospital.
A lamentable feature of the affair is
that it will be regarded as q pro-Drey-
fus demonstration, and react greatly to
the detriment of the chances of acquit-
tai. 1t ia much feared that yesterday
scenes were due to the weakness the
has displayed over the
Guerin affair. The governments de-
sire to avoid bloodshed has been misin-
.erpreted with the worst people.
1u0 budrCHlSb QSuOuStI AUlOu w % oS-
,ided upon at a meeting held Saturday.
The Journal de Peuple, edited by Sc
oastisn Fsure, published q manifesto,
the military party, the
the monarchists and the
priests, and urged its supporters to
meet force with force.
"Should Drey fus be convicted" said !
he manifesto. sit will be triumph of !
bandits. Should he be acquitted, the |
section will be in open rebel I
ION"
The paper called upon all anarchists |
o demonstrate against the priest and |
esuits. Copies Of the manifesto were |
catered broadcast, and the. result |
vas that the anarchists 6ocked into
he streets singing the ''Carmagnole,
md crying "Abss Rochefort," ga has
)rumont," and "Abas Guerin."
The Guerin affair is becoming a COM
lete farce.
