TURBULENT SCENES. An Anarchist Mob Does Much Dam* age in Paris. tytqgeat Cliikn with the Police™ Many Persons Hart—A Church De•polled—Bonfire Made of Crn-. till, Altar aad Pulpit. Paris, Aug. 81.—Paris was An Sunday the scene of most serious disturbances, recalling some aspects of the commune. In response to an appeal of the Journal Le Peuple, add La Petite Republique, groups of anarchists and socialists gathered about three o’clock in the afternoon in the Place de la Republique. The police.had taken precautions, and there seemed no danger of disorders. Sebastion Faure and Faberot, well-known revolutionary anarchists, were the ringleaders. Faure, standing on the pedestal of the statue which rises in the center of the Place de la Republique, addressed the crowd. Amongotherthings.hesaid that the anarchists should be masters of the streets. Police Take a Hand. ’ The police then interfered and dislodged Faure and Faberot, making three arrests. The crowd at this point dispersed, but a column of demonstrators, headed by Faure and Henri D’Horr, made for the Place de la Nation. The police broke through the column and a struggle for the mastery followed. Shots were fired and M. Ooullier, commissary of police, was twice stabbed with a knife. This threw the police into momentary confusion. The mob reassembled and ran toward the Place de la Nation. The police, reenforced by a squad that bad been held in reserve, made another attempt to stem the current, and fresh fierce fighting occurred, three constables being wounded. Faure and D’Horr jumped into a passing street car that was going to the Place de la Republique and the car driver on arriving there gave a signnl to the police, who Immediately arrested them both, together with two other anarchists, Joseph Ferrier and Jean Perrin. All were conveyed to the Chateau d’Eau barracks. Only D’Horr was found in possession of firearms. Mob Attacks Churches. In the meantime the anarchist mob retraced its course to the Place de la Republique, smashing the windows of religious edifices, on the way. Suddenly, either at the word of command or In obedience to impulse, the column made a loop and curved toward the church Os St. Ambroise, where the rioters smashed the windows.. Proceeding thence toward the Faubourg dti Temple, which reached at the corner -of the Rue Darboy and the Rue St. Mauri-Popincourt, they formed tip into body. Hatchets were suddenly produced, with long knives stolen from the counters of shops, and n concerted rush was made upon the church of kt. Joseph. The aged Sacristan, seeing the mob, hastily closed the outer gateß, but these were soon forced with hatchets and bars of iron. The massive oaken doors were then attacked. | Cbarcb Rim sacked. According to the first account the wild horde burst into the church, which instantly became a Beene of pillage and sacrilege. Altars and statues were hurled to the floor and smushed, pictures were rent, candlesticks, oruahients nnd hosts from high altars were thrown down und trumpled underfoot. The crucifix above was made the target for missiles nnd the figure of the Huviour was fractured in several places. Then, while raucous voices sung the "Carmagnole,” the chairs were carried outside, piled up and set on tire iii the center of the square fronting the church. ! Police and Mob Fight. 1 Meanwhile the saeristun, who had been captured by the anarchists, escaped called the police and republican guards, who promptly arrived, with many constables. They were compelled to fall back in order to form up Into line of defense, as the anurchlsts attacked them fearfully with knives. At length the officers began togain the mastery. A score of anarchists took refuge in an adjacent house. Others intrenched themselves in the belfry and jßcrcely defended themselves by showering missiles on the republican‘guards, but finally these were dislodged. Twenty anarchists were arrested, taken to the police station, searched and found to be carrying revolvers, loaded sticks and knives. Polplt Fired, When the police entered the church the anarchists had just set lire to the pulpit. The interior of the edifice was u complete wreck. Several valuable old pictures that can never be replaced were ruined. After the mob had been driven away Abbe LaCour, the incumbent, collected the fragments of the sacrament and replaced them in the eiborlum. As he did So he was henrd bitterly lamenting. The people living in the bouses neur by extinguished the bonfire. Over 800 llort. Paris, Aug. 21, 0:30 a. in.—The prefecture of police gives the following statistics of yesterday's riots: Injured, 380; taken to hospitals. 300; police agents wounded, 61; arrests, 150; detained in custody, 80. A Fatal Error. Utica, N. Y., Aug. 21.—William Robbins, instructor of manual training in the schools of Passaic, N.

MERCIER IS CONFIDENT. Feels Certain That Dreyfas Will Be Convicted—Verdict Is Said to Be Predetermined. Ghicago, Aug. 21.—The Tribune’s special from Rennes says: According to statements communicated from such an exceptional source as to carry unusual presumption of truth, the sentence of Dreyfus is already decided upon. He will be found guilty of disciplinary indiscretions, for which he will be sentenced to five years’ imprisonment. As he has served this term of sentence the practical result will be* that he will be set free and take his position in the army as a'captain en reforme, without pay or emoluments, and any career in the active army will be closed to him. Rennes, Aug. 21.—Gen. Mercier, who was minister of war when Capt. Dreyfus was condenmned, and who in the present trial is the virtual prosecutor, was called upon Sunday afternoon by a correspondent of the Associated Press, who invited him to make a statement of the position of the anti-Dreyfusardß. Although unable to receive the correspondent in person, Gen. Mercier sent his oldest son to convey the following expression of his views: "Gen. Mercier considers tt useless to attempt to convert foreign opinion regarding the Dreyfus question, in which, moreover, foreigners have no right to Intervene. Foreign peoples have been misled by their press, which is violently Dreyfusard, for the very good reason that a majority of the foreign newspapers have been bribed by the Jewish syndicate. Gen' Mercier considers anything he might say explaining his position, which Is that of a majority of the French people, would be useless. The best reply to Dreyfusard statements abroad will be condemnation of Dreyfus. This condemnation Is only a matter of ten days or a fortnight, for condemned Dreyfus certainly will be. I'toreigners will then see that their Journals have deceived them, for they will recognize that the muss of tbe French nation, who will receive the news of the conviction of Dreyfus as Joyful tidings, is not composed of officials and that the majority of the French applaud the condemnation, it will be because it is Just and merited/] Rennes, Aug. 21.—At the court-mar-tial session Saturday tbe-firstTvrtneSs was Maj. Cuignet, the officer who some weeks ago was dismissed from the army for communicating to the Petit Journel confidential correspondence exchanged between the minister of war and the minister of foreign affairs regarding the I’anizzardi dispatch. Maj. Cuignet declared, like the preceding military witnesses, his conviction of the guilt of Dreyfus, based on the alleged confession to Lebrun-Kenault, technical explaxation of the bordereau and the secret dossier. The major added a fourth reason in his confidence in the graphological demonstration made by M. Bertillon.. This demonstration was so remarkable as to raise doubts as to the sanity of M. Bertillon, and caused the municipal council to pass a resolution to deprive him of his functions at the prefecture of police. Maj. Cuignet’s declaration caused a great,sen in court. That officer then embarked in discussion of the case, which, however, added nothing new to the arguments before the court of cassation. Dreyfus listened for some time with evident impatience and then suddenly rose nnd, addressing the president of the court-martial, exclaimed: ‘‘Mon colonel, I can’t nit still and listen all the time, to such lies.” Maj. Cuignet, continuing, came to the question of the alleged letter of Col. Schneider, quoted by Gen. Mercier in his deposition. His attention was drawn to the fact that Col. Schneider denounces the letter as a forgery. “1 am told that this denial is dated from Kms,” replied Maj. Cuignet, “We know that the dispatches dated at that place are not always truthful,” This reference was to the famous Bismarck dispatch, which precipitated the war of 1870. The remark caused loud murmurs in the court and led the commissary of the government to protest against such references to a foreign officer accredited to the French government. The next witness should have been Col. Du I’aty de ('lain, but when lie was culled there was no reply. Maitre Damange re quested that he be again summoned. The next witness was Gen. de BoisdeiTre, who, like his predecessor, entered into a history of the bordereau Uifll alleged confessions. His deposition was-entirely laeldn'g fit What had been expected from him. lie confirmed the statement of Gen, Mercier that there were fears of war on January 0,1895. When the general finished Dreyfus was asked if lie desired to put any questions. lie replied that he had nothing to say to Gen, de UoisdclTre, (Sensation in court). The next witness was Gen. Gonse, who talked in a very indistinct tone of voice. He spoke at length regarding his differences with Col. I’icquart about Esterhazy. Dreyfus entered into a long argument with Gen, Gonse regarding the possibility of introducing strangers into the ministry of war. Gen. Gonse maintained that this was possible, but Dreyfus finally forcid the general to admit that without a written permit it could not be done. The sitting closed with the deposition of Gym. Billot regarding the expenditures of the seortt service fund, which entirely confirmed the statements,, of Col. l’iequart, a statement w hich caused epplanse in the court. Baris, Aug. 81.—It is stated that CoL •ehneider, Austrian military attache nt Paris, will come here from Enw next Wednesday to prosecute Gen. Mercier. The latter produced a document in ths Rennes court purporting to be a report from Schneider to his government on Dreyfus. Schneider will prosecute Mercier for forgery before the Paris court of assizes. This will be the severest blow the army bus yet received. It w ill also sinush the veracity of the anti-Dreyfus uewspapers, which have been boasting that Schneider lied in the interest of the triple alliance.

LABOBI AT HIS POST. The Wounded Attorney Appeare in Court Again. Receives the Coscrstokllaai of His Frleads aad His Opponents—CoL Joaaast Is Hissed for HU Partiality. Rennes, Aug. 22—The second day of the third week of the second trial by court-martial of Capt. Alfred Dreyfus on the charge of treason began at 6:30 o'clock this (Tuesday) morning. Maitre Labori was present. He drove to the court in a carriage and entered the hall at 6:30 o’clock. The audience greeted him by standing up and by a general clapping of hands. Maitre Labori walked quite briskly, but holding his left arm closely to his side, in order not to disturb the wound. He met Gen. Mercier and Gen. Billot in the middle of the court-room, stopped, chatted and smiled. Labori looked very well. He was given a cushioned armchair. Mme-iLabori, looking well, was also in courts. Labori was warmly congratulated by friends. Capt. Dreyfus on entering smilingly shook hands with Labori. Col. Jouaust addressed a few words of congratulation to Labori, and expressed the profound indignation of the tribunal at the attempt to assassinate the counsel. Labori was much moved, and thanked Col. Jouaust in an eloquent speech. - All of the witnesses Monday were hostile to Dreyfus, but as none of the evidence was fresli and mostly reiteration of old statements, the audience followed the depositions with comparatively little interest, a reference by M. Gribelln to the relations of Dreyfus with demimondaines proving the most appetizing portion of the morning’s procceedings. A subdued titter went round wherr M. Gribelin even professed to know the exact amount ‘Dreyfus spent upon his various amours. Defense Makes Good Points. Maitre Dcmange, of counsel for the defense, was more successful than Usual in cross-examining him and visibly disconcerted M. Gribelin. Counsel scored a distinct hit when he got M. Gribelin to admit that he mixed the intrigues of Paty de Clam and Henry to shield Esterliazy and when iif. Gribelin was finally disposed of his evidence had suffered badly. Dreyfus Creates Better Impression* Dreyfus created a better impression Monday. He entered the court with a more confident bearing and replied to the witnesses in a ealnt voice, without any theatrical gestqres, and his remarks were put so lucidly that he appeared to make aw impression on all the judges, all of whom are reputed to be bitterly opposed to him. It nlmost seems as if, despairing at the absence of LaWli', he took his defense in his own hands and acted as his own counsel. Under oath Capt. Junck; had attacked not only Dreyfus’ moral character but his honor us an. officer. Everybody expected one of those pnssioriate outbursts thnt characterized the prisoner’s protests when gooded to despair in the early days of the session. But he was cool as ice itself. In a manly voice, perfectly nt ense, he said: “If Capt. .Tunck’s ideas of honor permit him to divulge private conversation, mine do not. I have clean hands. I will keep them clean.” Then Drcyfuw, in an incisive manner, going directly to the point, denied, one by one, the statements just made by Capt. Junck. Capt. Junek had asserted that Dreyfus had revealed eertnin information ha bad reeeived at the leetures in theoffict of the headquarters staff in December, 1893. The prisoner showed that at the time he was with his father, and eonsequently had not attended the leetures. Again nnd again Dreyfus took up the points of Junek’s testimony, proving them false und unfounded. lie was no longer the prisoner—he became transformed into the uttoi-ney for the defense, reviewing to the jury the evidence in favor of the prisoner. Dreyfus made a telling point for himself when he took up the mutter of his attendance upon the maneuvers, showing that.in August, 1894, the second' year probationers knew definitely that they were to go to their regiments in October, November nnd December, nnd that consequently they would not attend the maneuvers. Partiality Causes a Sector. The session wound up with a scene, on account of the extraordinary conduct of Col. Jouaust, president of the court, who permitted himself to make an unwarrantable display of partiality. M. Bert ulus had been confronted with the last witness, Capt. Junck, and (Jett, Gonse had defended the latter, when Cot. Picquart rose and asked to be allowed to refute some of Juuck’s remarks. Col. Jouaust made a gesture of impatience and shouted: “What, again?” An outburst of booing and hissing came from the audience at such a display of unfairness from.the president. Judges and gendarmes quickly suppressed the noise, but Col. Jouaust-un-derstood the well-merited rebuke administered hip, turned red and adjourned the court ten minutes later. ■■—A. • • 4 Thirty years ago the sardines and young herring iu Canadian waters were sold mostly as fertilizers.

WESTERN CITY BURNED. The Haslaesa Seetlou of Victor, CoL, Swept kg Fire—Loss Is Estimated at f 8,000,000. Cripple Creek, CoL, Aug. 22.—Fire has utterly destroyed the business portion of the city of Victor, causing a loss estimated a* $2,000,000. Beginning shortly after noon, the fire raged until evening, consuming everything in its way. It had its origin, it is thought, in the Merchants’ case, adjoining the Bank of Victor, on the corner of Third street and Victor avenue. A strong wind from the south fanned the flames and in a few minutes all the surround ing bouses were afire. v Help was summoned from Cripple Creek, but the town had been built in the early days of the camp and was of pine timber, for the fc most part, and burned like paper. Efforts were made to stop the progress of the flames by blowing up buildings in their path by means of dynamite, and all afternoon the hills have roared with the explosions, but the effort was in vain. „ The fire claimed the Bank of Victor, the post office, on the corner opposite, crossed Third street and followed the row of blocks between Third and Fourth streets to the north, taking the Victor Banking company, Western Union Telegraph company’s office and the office of the Colorado Telephone company, the Hotel Victor, on the opposite side of Fourth street, and the three great shaft houses of the Gold Mining company, and its ore bins, among the largest in the Cripple Creek district. From there the flames were swept northward by the half hurricane which was blowing, and never stopped until they’ had taken the Florence & Cripple Creek depot and the fine nciy depot of the Midland Terfhinal road, at the head of Fourth street. „ All the buildings between these are a total loss, with poetically their contents, for the flames were so rapid in their progress that nothing eonld be saved. Thescenesofthe great Cripple Creek Are were duplicated. Hurrying before the roaring flames went men, women and children, carrying what they could snatch from the flames, racing for their lives. The crash of buildings torn asunder by dynamite and the crackle of the flames as they consumed the dry buildings hastened their flight, and the pall of smoke added a terror to the spectacle. A special train was placed at the command of this city by the Florence & Cripple Creek railroad, and three companies of firemen, with apparatus, were rvshed to the scene. They worked all afternoon in a vain endeavor to stay the march of the frames. The residence portion of the city has suffered comparatively little, but the business portion is paralyze* and suffering is bonnd to follow. The burned area may be thoroughly designated as the space between the head of North street and Victor avenue, extending from the Gold Coin mine buildings on the west to a point near , Second street, and down Third street ■ almost to Diamond avenue. The loss has now reached $2,000,000. The first house was built in Victor in October; 1893. In July of the following year the city was incorporated, and six years later it contained 10,000 people. That is- about tho population now. OF SERIOUS CHARACTER. Paris Papers VSanlmoni In. Psonsnnclng Sunday’s Riots, a* Reins Mast Ominous. Paris, Aug. 22. —The papers of this city, in commenting on the riots which took place here Sunday, are unanimous in pronouncing the situation, to be of the most seriows character. The conservative and nationalist organs accuse the government of provoking Sunday’s bloodshed by unjustifiable arrests. The Gaulols reproaches the cabinet | fosr not having taken measures to prevent the excesses. The radical, revisionist and republican papers insist on the necessity of more firmness on the part of the ministry and declare the ministers must defend the republic against secret machinations and attempts at an uprising. The press protests against the disorders and hopes the police will prevent a recurrence of them. In consequence of Sunday’s, events judicial proceedings have byen instituted against Sebastian Faure and fourothersfor rebellion.acts of violence nnd attempt to murder, and against divers persons for robbing concecrated buildings and burning its furniture. Also for breaking windows and inciting to riotous assemblage. A judicial Investigation will be bad before Magistrate Devalles. BICYCLISTS KILLED.

CRISIS IN GERMANY. ■ 1 i Diet Deflea the Emperor and Defeat! Canal BUl—Entire Cabinet Agrees to Beilfs* Berlin, Aug. 22.—Germany finds itself facing a cabinet crisis. As an outcome of the rejection pf the Midland canal bill last Saturday, the ministers met late Monday afternoon at the residence of the imperial chancellor, Prince von Hohenlohe, and decided to resign. There was a rumor afloat that the resignations had already been accepted, but this probably is incorrect, as it is not generally believed the resignations have yet been presented. There is excited discussion on all sides, but it is difficult to sift the facts from many rumors in circulation. Although it is announced in one of the Berlin papers that Emperor William has accepted the resignation of the whole cabinet, it is not likely the truth will be known until after the arrival of the emperor. His majesty is expected to afid p 7" at i cabinet council on Wednesday, and may then be able to turn events to suit himself. Should the fall of Dr. von Miquel prove inevitable it is generally believed that Prince von Hohenlohe would be carried down with him. Berlin, Aug. 22—The newspapers of this city recognize the fact that the rejection by the Diet lof the Canal bill marks an epoch in the political history of the country and point out that the conservatives, for the first time since the formation of the empire, have openly defied a mandate of their sovereign. One of the results of tho present political situation is that the socialists are applauding the firmness of the agrarian junkers in upholding the principles of Constitutional right. * W r hat makes the present situation most critical is the attitude of op<:n defiance of the conservatives toward the kaiser. Bat the kaiser has resolved to build the canals, even at the peril of losing the support of the conservatives. He is now planning to coerce them into Complying with his will. The diplomatic career of Dr. Miquel, the ministeiVof finance, who was intrusted with engineering the passing of the by the diet, is acknowledged to be ended. Count Marshal von Bieberstein, former minister of foreign affairs, is prominently mentioned as the next imperial chancellor. He was summoned by the kaiser on Saturday immediately after the rejection of the canal bills, and it is believed was instracted*to begin a vigorous anti-agrarian compaign. THE BOER'S REPLY. Has Bee* Forwarded V* British High I'onmiMlon.r-Believed Britain’s SasKMtloa Has Ream Rejected. Capetown, Aug. 22.r—The report that the Transvaal government had handed its reply to the British agent at Pretoria, to be forwarded to Sir Alfred Milner, British high commissioner for South Africa and governor of Cape Colony, is confirmed. It is believed, however, that the proposition of Great Britain for a joint commission to investigate the effect which the franchise reform legislation would have on the uitilanders, has not been accepted, bqt that fresh proposals have been advanced. London. Aug. 22. —There is no longer any doubt that President Kruger has refused to submit to the demand of Mr. Chamberlain for the appointment of a court of inquiry. He may have done so diplomatically or hedgjngly. But that his answer is regarded by the British government as tantamount to positive refusal is now an established fact. The colonial office is normally noncommittal, but there are other evidences which amply justify the statement. The report that President Kruger has proposed new' terms is somewhat verified by the guarded comment of the colonial office officials and the irritability displayed there. There is not tbe slightest doubt that they now believe war is the only way to settle the controversy. They would far rather have had a curt, defiant answer than the temporizing answer which the Boer president has sent. With the former Great Britain would have plain ground for a quick commencemcnt of hostilities. Under the ciroumstances which .if is.believed now exist aggressive action needs considerable explanation to justify it in the eyes of the world and the English minority who still declare that war would be an outrage. However, if Mr. Chnmberlain has his way, it is believed President Kruger’s counter proposals will meet with scant attention and unless the Boers completely back down, which is not likely, the crisis w ill quickly develop into war. It has developed that the war office has been aware of the nature of the Transvaal government's answer for several days and that it was communicated to the war office, hence it is probable that Great Britain will delay the denouement as little as possible. The Plague Spreads. London, Aug. 22.—The Rome correspondent of the Daily Mail asserts that there has been several cases of bubonic plague recently at Palermo and Naples, three or four ending fatally. All possible precautions are being taken, but the newspapers do not mention the presence of the disease in order to prevent public alarm. Blind fish were recently drawn from the bottom of an artesian well 188 feet down at San Marcus, Tex. They were colorless and square-snouted. Their heads are large* and they have legs with four tiny fingers front and five toes on the hind foot. Down deep in the Bowels of the earth, completely shut off from al) communication with the upper world, these blind animals have hunted other blind animals for uncounted cycles.
