ANARCHISTS RULE IN PARIS
They Take Possession of the Streets In the
French Metropolis.
LOOT CHURCHES AND DESTROY THEIR CONTENTS
Desperate and Stubborn Battles With the Police
of Frequent Occurrence.
Sunday Paris was the scene of most
serious disturbances, recalling some
aspects of the commune. In response
to an appeal of The Journal du Pouple
and La Petit Repnblique, groups of
anarchists and socialists gathered
about 3 o’clock in the afternoon iu the
Place de la Repnblique. The police
had taken precautions and there seem¬
ed no danger of disorders.
Sebastion Fame and Faberot, well
known revolutionary anarchists, were
the ringleaders. Faure, standing on
the pedestal of tho statue which rises
iu the center of the Place de la Repub
lique, addressed the crowd. Among
other things he said that the anarchists
should be masters of the streets.
The police interfered and disloged
Faure and Faberot, making three ar¬
rests. The cron d at this point, dis¬
persed, but a column of demonstrators
headed by Faure and Henri d’Horr
made for the Place de la Nation. The
pioliee broke through the column and
a struggle for the mastery followed.
Shots were fired and H. Goullier, com¬
missary of police was twice stabbed
with a knife. This threw the police
into momentary confusion. The mob
reassembled and ran towards the Place
de la Nation.
The police, re-enforced by a squad
that hud 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 Repnblique, and the car
driver, on arriving there, gave a sig¬
nal to the police, who immediately ar¬
rested 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 fire¬
arms.
Houses ofWorsl.lt> Demo!i&Iied.
In the meantime the anarchist mob
retracted its course to the Place de la
Repnblique, smashing the windows of
religious edifices on the way.
Suddenly, either at the word of
command or in obediouce to impulse,
the column made a loop and curved
toward the church of St. Ambroise,
where the rioters smashed the win¬
dows.
Proceeding thence toward the Fau¬
bourg du Temple, which they reached
at the corner of the Rue Darboy and
the Rue St. Manr-Popincourt, they
formed up into a compact body.
Hatchets were suddenly produced,
with long knives stolen from the coun¬
ters of shops, -and a concerted rush
was made on the church of St. Joseph.
The aged sacristan, seeing the mob,
hastily closed the outer gates, but
these were soou foroed open with
hatchets and bars of iron. The mas¬
sive oaken doors wero then attacked.
According to the first account the
wild horde burst into tho church,
which instantly became a scene
pillage and sacrilege. Altars aud sta¬
tues were hurled to (he floor and
smashed; pictures woro rent;
STILL DRIVING FILIPINOS.
One American Lieutenant Killed and An¬
other Wounded In a Skirmish.
Advices from Manila state that one
lieutenant of the Twelfth infantry was
killed aud another seriously wounded
while reconnoiteriug Saturday evening
north of Angeles.
The Americans encountered a large
force of insurgents and drove them
from their positions. Lieuteuant Cole,
of the Sixth infantry, with eighty men
encountered 100 insurgents iutreuched
in the mountains of tho island of Ne¬
gros aud routed them after an hour
and a half of severe fighting.
The Americans had three men slight¬
ly hurt. Nineteen dead insurgents
were counted iu tho trenches.
FISHERMEN LOSE LIVES.
Fourteen Drowned During Storm Off the
North Carolina Coast.
Sixteen rishermeu were camping on
Swan Island, N. C., near the mouth of
the Neuse river, during the recent
storm. The island was overflowed,
compelling them to seek the mainland.
Iu the attempt, all of their boats were
■capsized except oue, drowning four¬
teen men, consisting of four Smith
and four Salter brothers and six others.
All were married and men of large
families.
The two survivors paved themselves
by cutting away their boat’s mast,
throwing their cargo overboard aud
drifting ashore.
sticks, ornaments and posts from high
altars were thrown down and trampled
under foot.
The crucifix above was made the
target for missiles and the figure of
the Savior was fractured in several
places.
Then, while raucous voices saug the
“Carmagnole,” the chairs were carried
outside, piled up and set on fire in
the center of the square fronting the
church. When this stage was reached
the crucifix was pulled down and
thrown into the flames. Suddenly the
cry was raised that the statue of the
Virgin had been forgotten, aud the
crowd returned and tore this down
also,
Meanwhile the sacristan, who had
been captured by the anarchists, es¬
caped and called the police and repub¬
lican guards, who promptly arrived
with many constables. They were
compelled to fall back iu order to form
up into line of defense, as the anar¬
chists attacked them fearlessly with
knives.
At length the officers began to gain
the e mastery. A score of anarchists
took refuge in au adjacent house.
Others intrenched themselves in the
belfry and fiercely defended themselves
by showering missels on the republi¬
can guards, but finally they were dis¬
lodged. Twenty anarchists were ar¬
rested, taken to the police station,
searched aud found to be carrying re¬
volvers, loaded sticks and knives.
When the police entered the church
the auarehists had just set fire to the
pulpit. The interior of the edifice was
a complete wreck. Several valuable
old pictures that can never be replaced
were ruined.
There is no change in the situation
at the building in the Rue de Chabrol,
M. Jules Gueriu and his anti-Semite
companions are entrenched in a state
of seige against the police who have
orders for their arrest.
An attempt was made to fire the
choir of St. Joseph’s with petroleum,
and the firemen were called to quench
the flames.
Several parishioners were
mauled in their efforts to defend the
church from sacrilege. The church is
situated in the poorest quarter of the
city. No disorders of any kind oc¬
curred in the fashionable districts.
It is much feared that Sunday’s
scenes were due to weakness the gov¬
ernment displayed over the Guerin af¬
fair. The government’s desire to avoid
bloodshed has been misinterpreted
with tho worst result.
It appears that the anarchist de¬
monstration was decided upon at a
meeting held Saturday night.
The Journal du Peuplo, edited by
Sebastian Faure, published a mani¬
festo denouncing the military parly,
the anti-Semites, the monarchists and
the priests, aud urged its supporters
to meet force with force.
“Should Dreyfus be convicted,” said
the manifesto, “it will be triumph of
the bandits. Should he be acquitted,
the military section will be in open re¬
bellion.”
WORK OF THE MORMONS.
President Rich Issues a Statement Show¬
ing: Progress In the South.
The report of President Rich of the
Mormon society issued last Saturday,
shows that 490 elders are laboring in
southern fields, and that during the
week these walked 9,2C0 miles; visited
3,500 families, and held 950 meetings.
The report says in the Georgia con¬
ference 67 elders are at work, and
during the week they walked 909 miles
and visited 169 families. They were
refused entertainment 37 times.
Three New Cases of Bubonic.
Advices from Madrid state that three
cases of the bubonic plague are re¬
ported from Oporto. They are said
to be of a mild character.
OLYMPIA SAILORS ATTACKED.
Men on Dewey’s Flagship Set Upon By a
Mob at Leghorn, Italy,
A special dispatch received at Lon¬
don Monday from Leghorn, Italy,says
that five men have been arrested there
on the charge of attacking and wound¬
ing some sailors who had gone ashore
from Olympia.
Sheriff Sella Cotton Mill.
The Selma, Ala., cotton mill, which
was erected about three years ago by
public subscription, was sold by Sheriff
Lumpkin at auction Monday. It was
purchased by the Cawthou Cotton Mill
Company, of Selma, for §62,100. The
originally cost §125,000.
CALL FOR TEN REGIMENTS.
President Is Determined To Send
Otis a Sufficient Force
of Fighters.
A Washington special says: An order
has been issued directing that ten addi¬
tional regiments of infantry volunteers
be organized for service in the Philip¬
pines. The regiments will bo numbered
from thirty-eight to forty-seven and
w'ill be organized at the following
places, in the order named:
Fort Snelling, Minn.; Fort Crook,
Neb.; Fort Riley, Has.; Camp Meade,
Pa.; Fort Niagara, N. Y.; Fort Leaven¬
worth, Ivas.; Jefferson barracks, Mis¬
souri; South Framingham, Mass.
“The policy of the war department,”
said Secretary Root, “is to furnish
General Otis with all the troops and
supplies that he can use and which are
necessary to wind up the insurrection
iu the Philippines in the shortest pos¬
sible time.”
The secretary in speaking of the call
said that no delay would be allowed in
enlisting, equipping and supplying
the new regiments nor in transporting
them, as well as the other regiments
already organized, to the Philippines
as soon as they were needed for active
operations. If the present number of
transports are insufficient more will
be procured.
The men already enlisted for the
Philippine service will be sent at once
ind the new regiments will be for¬
warded as fast as they are organized
and needed. While these has been
some suggestion that the new regi¬
ments will be used as a reserve force,
it may be stated positively that these
regiments, as well as more, if they
can be secured, will be sent to re¬
enforce General Otis.
Secretary Root sent a copy of the
order to the various departments of
the army and they at once began pre¬
parations for supplying the new or¬
ganizations.
Within half an hour the ordnance
bureau had sent orders to the different
arsenals directing that complete outfits
of arms and ordnance supplies for
each regiment be sent to the rendez¬
vous where they are to be organized.
The quartermaster’s department gave
orders for supplying tents, clothing
and other equipments furnished by
that department, while the commissary
dep^rtment ordered a sufficient supply
of rations to be on hand to feed the
troops as fast as they arrive. The
medical department was also directed
to see that supplies were sent to the
regiments to be recruited with the
same care exercised in enlisting the
first ten regiments.
CHARRED WITH ARSON.
Fire Negroes In Jail at Newnan, G»., Ac¬
cused of Serious Ctime.
Coweta county, Ga., officers arrested
three negroes Thursday morning and
carried them to jail at Newnan on the
charge of burning the splendid barn
with all its contents, forty-seven head
of fine cattle, one horse and mule,
hogs, etc., belonging to Mr. R. L.
Hardy, near Senoia.
Two negroes were arrested last week
on the same charge and subsequent
developments and a strict watch has
linked little by little of important evi¬
dence, so that the whole gang is now
behind the bars.
After the arrest of Andrew Herndon,
one of the gang, he feared lest the
others might tell the whole story and
put the largest part of the blame on
him, he made a free and voluntary
coufession. He states that Lewis
Brandenburg, George Eliot, Lint
Lightner, Simon Jackson and himself
suspected that Mr. Hardy had a large
sum of money, as he was dealing
largely in cattle and selling large
quantities of brick, and between them
had arranged to rob Mr. Hardy, even
if they bad to kill him to accomplish
their purpose.
They knew Mr. Hardy kept a pistol
and winchester close by him at uight
aud they planned to fire the barn in
order to decoy him from his house,
when they expected to pounce upon
him, kill him and then rob his house.
Evil designs of a more serious nature
may have been seriously contemplated
also by these demons.
Two negroes set the barn on fire
while three were in hiding to waylay
Mr. Hardy aud kill him, as he came
out to see about the burning barn.
Fate decreed differently, however,
and Mr. Hardy was not so easy to
wake and the fire was discovered by
the small son of a tenant on the Hardy
farm,and who lived near the residence.

The Erin towed the Shamrock about
2,000 miles, and the latter sailed
something more tbau 1,200 miles.
Her best day’s run under canvas was
286 knots. Most of the towing was

ELECTION SURE
SAYS MORGAN
Alabama Senator Makes Predic*
tion For W. J. Bryan.
IF NOMINATED HE WILL WIN
In Another Interview Alabama
Statesman Prophecies Vic¬
tory For Silver.
The Washington Times of Friday’s
issue contained the following author¬
ized interview with Senator Morgan
from its special correspondent in An¬
niston, Ala.:
<ir 1 ., . k at the democratic .. party .
• a ike Chicago platform, said Senator
m
iloigan, gave a free, full and clear
expression of the democratic creed
governing a number of subjects. I
think we ought, to abide by that plat
form without any amendment or mod
incation. I shall be entirely satisfied
with any nominee who will sincerely
accept that platform as the basis of his
political administration. Mr. Bryan
is the leader of the party on the silver
plank and he will be the logical leader
on the issue that will be formed, if the
republicans succeed, as I suppose they
will, iu passing their currency bill.
“If the republicans insist upon the
legal enactment of the single gold
standard, silver will bo the predomi¬
nating issue of the next campaign.
The republicans will attempt to dis¬
guise the purpose and effect of their
legislation, but the real question will
be this: Shall the coinage of the silver
dollar he prohibited and the legal ten¬
der power limited to §10 iu one pay¬
ment? On that question I have little
doubt that every democrat and every
bimetallist in the United States will
vote for the democratic nominee. I
think a silver man will be elected pres¬
ident.
“I think the United States govern
mentis doing everything that isre
quisite to crush out Aguinaldo’s in
surrection. There can bo no doubt
that Aguinaldo’s munitions of war are
supplied by some combination sorue
where on the coast of Asia. That
combination is fighting the United
States for a mercenary and malignant
purpose. They are counting upon
popular sentiment in the United States
to recall the American troops and make
terms with Aguinaldo. That expecta¬
tion is utterly vain and without any
foundation, iu fact.
“The people in this country are sat¬
isfied with the results already accom¬
plished, and to be accomplished, by
this war. They are determined to
press it to a successful conclusion. We
deplore the revolting fcatuies. We
regret that innocent men are being led
to their death by Aguinaldo and his
selfish advisors, but that is only an
incident in the suppression of any in¬
surrection.
“I am of the opinion that Mr. Root
is going to make an admirable secre¬
tary of war. He is a very able man
and a very fine lawyer, aud he seems
not to be involved in any of the compli¬
cations that have caused disturbance
in army circles.
“There will be no difference of
opinion among the American people
in regard to the war. Both leaders of
the two great political parties—Mr.
McKinley, of the republicans, and
Mr. Bryan, of the democrats—coucur
that the war must be prosecuted to a
successful conclusion. No political
party that opposes the United States
government in its earnest attempt to
suppress the insurrection in the Phil¬
ippines will be sustained by the Amer¬
ican people, and I«am satisfied that
the democratic party cannot be led
into that attitude.”
PRINTERS INCREASE DUES.
Typographical Union Adds Ten Cents Per
Month For Defense Fund.
By an almost unauimous vote the
delegates to the International Typo¬
graphical Union convention, in session
at Detroit, adopted a constitutional
amendment increasing the union’s reg¬
ular monthly dues 10 cents per capita,
the increase of revenue to go to the
defense fund. The action must be
ratified by the general membership.
SEPTEMBER TWENTY-NINTH
Is Date Named By Dewey For His Ar¬
rival at New York.
At Thursday’s meeting of the com¬
mittee on plan and scope of the Dewey
celebration at New York General
Butterfield read a cablegram from Ad¬
miral Dewey which effectually seta at
rest all reports that the admiral would
first go to Washington before the cele¬
bration in his honor in New York.
The message was as follows:
“Leghorn, August 16.—To General
Butterfield, New York: Yours of Au
gust 1st received. Will reach the
lower bay without fail Friday, Septem
her 29th. Ready for parade Saturday
morning. Dewey.”
JIMINEZ UNDER ARREST.
Candidate For Dominican Throne
Is Experiencing Great
Trouble,
A special from Havana says; j a
view of the fact that Colonel Baeallao,
chief of the secret police, persisted in
his declaration that General Juan
Isidro Jiminez, the aspirant to the
presidency of Santo Domingo, wa3 j n
Havana, either not having lef^ or
having returned, the military authori¬
ties telegraphed to Cienfuegos in¬
structing Capt. Stamper, collector of
customs, to ascertain whether Jimi¬
nez was on the Meuedez steamer and
to take him under arrest if that should
be the case.
Just as the steamer was about leav¬
ing Cieufuegos, Captain Stamper lo¬
cated Jiminez and arrested him. Jim
iuez denounced the arrest fts an out
rage. He said that he had broken no
law and would not yield exeent to
force. Captain Stamper replied that
was rea( ] y to use force if necessary
an( j Jiminez then yielded, remarking
that he did so only because he could
not help himself,
Senor Frias, mayor of Cienfuegos,
re f uge( i to make the arrest, claiming
t hat General Jiminez was an old per¬
sonal friend whom he had known in¬
timately for years. When Jeminez
was taken into custody, Senor Frias
was found with a police inspector, in
close conversation with Jiminez and
the latter’s secretary. It is believed
the mayor was urging him to leave the
steamer, to conceal himself and wait
for a better opportunity. Captain
Stamper iuformed Jiminez that he
would make him as comfortable as
possible, and after Jiminez and his
secretary had packed their trunks
they were accompanied by the chief
of police and Captain Stamper to the
Union hotel, where two bedrooms and
a dining room were placed at their dis¬
posal.
General Jiminez will be kept under
police charge until further advices are
received from the governor general.
There is much excitement among the
people of Ceinfuogos over the affair.
The sentiment is generally expressed
that the authorities bad no right to ar¬
rest Jiminez, an unarmed citizen, go¬
ing apparently to Santiago de Cuba,
and the point is even made that, even
if he were going to San Domingo, he
would only be returning to his native
country.
FAVORABLE TO DREYFUS.
Colonel Fiequart’a K-viilence Showed That
Prisoner Was Innocent.
Advices from Rennes state that
when the Dreyfus courtmartial was re¬
sumed Friday morning Colonel Pic
quart, former chief of the intelligence
department of the war office, was
called, continuing his deposition, which
was interrupted by the adjournment
of Thursday.
Colonel Picquart discussed the secret
dossier as being the mainspring of the
condemnation of Dreyfus. His evi¬
dence tends to show the prisoner’s in¬
nocence. He took up the documents
successively, referring to the writers
and addressees of the letters as “A”
and “B.” Among those present in
court were Generals Zurlinden aud
Billot, former ministers of war.
Maitre Mornard, who argued the
case in behalf of the Dreyfus family
for the revision of the prisoner’s sen¬
tence, before the court of cassation,
was present to assist M. Demange, of
counsel for the defense.
NO OFFICE AT LAKE CITY.
Mail Facilities Not Yet Resumed In Little
South Carolina Town.
The disposition of the Lake City,
S. C., postoffice controversy is still
undecided, despite contrary reports.
The suggestion to re-establish the
office and appoint a white woman as
postmistress was a tentative one, and
while that course may be pursued, no
decision has been reached.
A new factor in the case is an ad¬
verse report of an inspector on re-es¬
tablishing the office.
The case has been under discussion
at Champlain between President Mc¬
Kinley and Postmaster General Smith.
Tobacco Stemmcrs Quit Work.
About 100 tobacco stemmers, in the
employ of W. F. Smith & Co., export¬
ers of leaf tobacco, at Winston, N. C.,
went out on a strike Friday. They
demanded an increase in wages, ■which
was refused.
KRUGER SENDS ANSWER.
Hands Reply to Brltinh Agent at Pretoria
Hut (on ten in Are Unknown.
A cable dispatch from Cape Town,
South Africa, states that the Transvaal
government, it is reported, has hand¬
ed 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.
Conflicting accounts are given as to
its contents and it is possible that the
report is premature and that the reply
will be delayed owing to the trouble
with 1 ortugal about the transport of
ammunition consigned to the Trans¬
vaal.
