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. ENGLISH YACHT ARRIVES. Shamrock. Challenger For America’s Chp, Iu l’ort at New York. Sir Thomas Lipton’s yacht, the Shamrock, challenger for America’s cup, reached port at New York Friday, accompanied by her tender, tho steam yacht Erin. The Shamrock sailed from Failee on the Clyde August 3, and made the voyage over in much quicker time than was anticipated. 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 done after passing the Azores, August 9 th. 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.
