POLICEMAN TRIEA TO ARRIsT His CHtET.
The police showed needless ro,ighness
in dealing with the crowds which gradually
formed at the corners of he streets leading
into the Place de Ia Republiqus. The
crowds were mostly composed OF curious
persons. In several cases the correspond
dent Of The Sun saw police kick boys Of
about rs years in order to make them move
faster.
An amusing incident occurred when
Project Of Police L.epine, wearing a frock
coat and derby hat, who was surrounded
by a group Of reporters az he was proceed
ing from the Labor Exchange, reached the
Place de la Republique. He was met
by a rush OF policemen, one of whom seized

is probable that the head Of the police force
would have been dragged to the station
had not a sergeant arrived who recognized
him, ~whereupon he was Immediately re-
leased.
The correspondent Of The SUN remarked;

There was comparative quiet from s 20 Q

MANY HURT IN CAVALRY CHARoE,
The mob became FESTIVE again opposite
the Labor Exchange at 8:15 o'clock and
the police made several charges, which the
crowd took good natureily. even cheering
the policemen. Then cavalry were sent for
and they cam with a rush. They were
received with angry groans and Kisses.

GROWS WORSE IN EVENING.
A workman in u blue blouse attempted
to address the mob. This was the signal
for another charge. The mob greeted 1t
with a deafening clamor Of groans and
derisive shouts. The mood Of the crowd
changed in a twinkling, and they burst
out sin ging in a great chorus the "lnter-
rationale"
This brought upon them the ugliest
charge of both police and cavalry that had
yet been seen. The police are beginning TO
lose their temper, and they pummelled all
within,resc oh numerically. The crowd re-
turned Immediately, despite the rough
treatment, and at the time of writing there
is a wild, surging mob beneath the window
Of THE SUN correspondent.
1t must be said in justice to the populace
that they show no tendency to ward VIC
lence, but the repeated attacks Of the troops
and police are rapidly developing an ugly
spirit,
At Z O'Clock the most violent scenes Of
the day we're being ena oted in oil directions.
There are fully 10000 persons in view from
the correspondents standpoint, and their
numbers are being rapidly augmented.
CROWD DISAPPEARING AT MIDNIGHT.
Later the troops cleared the oongested
districts, and at midnight the crowds on
the streets and boulevards are rapidly
disappearing. The danger Of further vio-
ience seems to be at an end, The police
and troops are exhausted. hut are still at
their posts.
The authorities look forward to the next
few days with the greatest anxiety fearing
individual outrages. which it will be i'm
possible to avert even by the most careful
precautions, ..I

omnibus and a oable car 10 the Belleville

they were able to establish themselves

THE PRISONERS.
The Chateau d'Eau barracks are the
centre Of military authority, There also
all prisoners were taken. The magistrates
sat in a big room, where they were busy
all day interrogating the olptives. Most
OF these we're ~dishevelled, their clothing
being torn and their faces bleeding.

question in every case, and upon. the pris-
oner's demeanor and reply summary judg-
ment to free or detain was given. Those
who were detained were hustled protesting
to cells. Many women we're thus arraigned,
but few, il any. Of them were detained,
The magistrates sternly reproyed them
for lack Of sense in going upon the streets
on such a day instead Of staying at home.
