* MOB RIOTS EN PARIS.
ScrlouH DlitnrlmnccH Sunday in Which
Much DiimiiRC "Wan Done.
PARIS , Aug. 21. Paris was yester
day the scene of most serious disturb
ances , recalling some aspects of the
commune. In response to an appeal of
the journals Le Peuple and La Petite
Republique , groups of anarchists and
socialists gathered about 3 o'clock in
the afternoon in the Place de la Re
publique. The police had taken pre
cautions and there seemed no danger
of disorders.
Sebastian Faure and Baberot , 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 Repub
lique , addressed the crowd. Among
other things he said that the anarchists
should be masters of the streets. The
police then Interfered and dislodged
Faure and Faberot , making three ar
rests. The crowd 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 police broke through the column
and a struggle for the mastery
followed. Shots were fired and M.
Goulller , commisary of police , was
twice stabbed with a knife.
This threw the police Into momen
tary confusion. The mob reassembled
and ran toward the Place de la Na
tion. The police , reinforced by a squad
that had 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 pasing street
car that was going to the Place de la
Republique and the car driver on ar
riving there gave a signal to the police ,
who immediately arrested them both ,
together with two other anarchists ,
Joseph Ferrler and Jeon P rrin.
All were conveyed to the Chateau
d'Eau barracks. Only d'Horr wag
found in possession of firearms.

gro named Alex Johnson last Sunday
and when Johnson met a couple of vol
unteers near the Fort Leavenworth
reservation yesterday he renewed hos
tilities by knocking a soldier down.

In force and clubs , stones and guns
were brought into play. The soldiers
outnumbered the negroes and ran

ILL WITH YEILOW FEVER.
Russell B. Harrison Attacked With the
Dread Disease.
SANTIAGO DE CUBA , Aug. 21.
Major Russell B. Harrison , inspector
general , is critically ill with yellow
fever. The disease has progressed for
three days , although not pronounced
yellow fever until this afternoon.
The case is the first to occur at
Cristo , whither headquarters was re
moved last month to escape infection.

been relaxed , owing to the fact that
there have been no new cases in the
city and officers from headquarters
have been in the habit of coming to

ters at night.
Late From the Klondike.
SEATTLE , Wash. , Aug. 21. The
steamer Roanoke arrived tonight from
St. Michaels , Alaska , with 350 miners
and gold dust estimated at $250,000.
Most of this was brought out of the
Cape Nome district. G. Price had the
largest individual amount , about $60-
000. The failure of the Roanoke to
bring a large amount of gold dust
from Dawson is explained by the fact
that she failed to make connections
with the Yukon river boats at St. M'i-
chaels.
The Roanoke brings further partic
ulars of the foundering of the river
steamer Louise , July 31 , with three
barges , two of which caried United
States government supplies , near the
mouth of the Yukon , during a storm.
The Louise has been raised and taken
to St. Michaels for repairs. Her hull
is badly damaged and her upper works
are badly twisted. The loss on the
steamers is estimated at $35,000.

pears conspicuously before the word
"discharged. "

H. H. Y. , of Omaha , Neb , asks : "U
Ihere any method of establishes
priority of invention except by a ca
veat ? " Answer : We commenced filing
Incomplete applications in lieu of ca
veats twenty years ago anil such prac
tice has been followed by other attor

found a caveat benefit any of his
clients. There is a strong probability
that congress will abolish the caveat
Bystem.
The caveat fees are an unnecessary ,
expense. An application puch as wej
prepare and file at Washington upon-
the receipt of the first fee , $20 , will fce :
legal protection for one year. Any :
Dther way of fixing date cf priority of !
