Paris was yesterday thu scene of most serious disturbances, recalling somu aspects of the commune. In response to an appeal of tho jour nals Lu Pouple and La Petite ltepub lique, groups of anarchists and social ists gathered about three o'clock in the afternoon in the Place de la Itepub liquo. The police had taken precau tions and thero seemed no danger of disorder. Sebastian Fauru and M. F.i- berot, well-known revolutionary an archists, were the ringleaders. Faurc, standing on the pedestal of thu statuo which rises in the center of tho Place du la Itcpublique, addressed the crowd. Among other things ho said that tho anarchists should be masters of tho streets. The police then interfered and dislodged Faurc and Faboret, mak ing threo arrests. Tho crowd at this point dispersed, but a column of demonstrators headed by Faurc and Henri d'Horr made for the Placo de la Nation. The polico broke through thu column, and a strug gle for the mastery followed. Shots weru fired, and M. Gollier, commissary of police, was twieu stabbed with a knife. This threw the police into mo men tary confusion. Tho mob reas sembled and ran toward thu Place du la Nation. Thu police, re-enforced by a snuad that had been held in reserve. made another attempt to stem the cur rent and fresh, fierce fighting oc curred, three constables being wound ed. In the meantime the anarchist mob retraced its course to the Place du la ltepubliqiie, smashing tho windows of religious edifices on the way. Sud donl', either at thu word of command or in obedience to impulse, thu column made a loop and curved toward tho Church of St. Ambroisu, where' tho rioters smashed thu windows. Pro ceeding thence toward thu Faubourg du Temple, at the corner of tho ltuu Darboy and thu ltuu Mauri-Popineourt, they formed up into a compact body. Hatchets were suddenly produced, with knives stolen from the counters of shops, and a concerted rush was made upon tlie ciiurcn ot 6t. .losepli. The aged sacristan, seeing the mob, hastily closed tlie outer gates, out tneso wero soon forced with hatchets and bars of iron. The massive oaken doors wero then attacked. Tho wild horde burst into the church, which instantly became a secnu of pillage and sacrilege. Altars and statues were hurled to the floor and smashed, pictures were rent, candle sticks and ornaments from high altars were thrown down and trampled under foot. The crucifix above was mado the target for missiles and the figure of the Savior was fractured in several places. Then, while rancorous voices sang the "Carmagnole" tho chairs were carried outside, piled up and set on fire in the center of thu square fronting tho church. When this stage was reached the crucifix was pulled down and thrown into the fiaines. Suddenly tho cry was raised that the statue of tho Virgin had been forgotten and tho crowd returned and toru this down also. Meanwhilu the sacristan, who had been captured by tho anarchists, es caped and called the polico and repub lican guards, who promptly arrived with many constables. They wero compelled to fall back in order to form into a line of defense, as thu anarchists attacked them fearfully with knives. At length the officers began to gain tho mastery. TWenty anarchists weru ar rested, taken to the police station, searched and found to be carrying re volvers, loaded sticks and knives, According to some accounts, paving ittones wero torn up anil used as mis siles. In the Avenue de Taillebourg there was a fierce conflict. Tlie polico I Jind to draw their swords against tho ' anarchists, who. assailed them with i stones. Four policemen were wound ed, two so seriously that they had to be taken to tho hospital. A lamentable feature of the affair is that it will be regarded as a pro-Dreyfus demonstration and react greatly to , the detriment of the chances of acquit- j tal. It is much to bu feared that yes- j tcrday's soencs were due to the weak- i ness the government has displayed I over the Guerin affair. The govern- j incut's desiru to avoid bloodshed has , been misinterpreted with the worst re bults. It appears that the anarahlst demon stration was decided upon at a moot? ing held Saturday night. The .Journal du Pouple, edit el by Sebastian Faurc, published a manifesto denouncing tho military party, thu anti-humites, thu monarchists and the priests, and urged its supporters to meet force with force. "Should Drevfuhjjo convicted," said the maiiifesto, "It will a triumph of bandits. . Should he bo acquitted, the military section will bu open to robol lion." Thu prefecture of polico gives tho following statistics of the riots in Paris on the'ttOth: Three hundred and eighty persojis, injured; V.00 taken, to the hos pitals; 60 polico agents 'wounded; 150 persons arrested, of1 whom bO.were de tained in custody. ' niinmnled when told that instead of the ecu- tunc kifcser they have a moth killer, a lace winged fly, or boincthiiig quite common and haiinlesH. A man caino from Vcazic to Hangor the other day with a ferocious-looking hug cotked up in a preserve jar and claimed the- credit ot having cutiturcd the first kissinc bug in that pint of the countiy. It was not. the famous kissing hug that he had, hut a na tive bug somewhat resembling a small lob ster with wings. "I don't care a hang, declared the vcnzic man, when told that he must try again. "These fellers kin lick the stufiin' out of Sunkhazers, and that's what none of your common hugs kin do." , Not nunv people living far away from Hangor know what a "Sunkhazer ' is like. It is a ferocious big fly that infcUs the Data and meadows about Sunkhar? dcadwater, a place in the Penobscot ner where the water is slack and where millions of logs, are rafted. The Sunkhazers aie the pest of the loggers, upon whom they feast to their heart's content, and nothing ran drive them away. Thcv are four times the eize of the famed mosquitoes of ,Tcrey, and any Maine man will hack one of them against a, dozen kissing hugs in a fair stand-up fight. Maine folks have, probably, no kissing bugs,, but so long as the Sunkh.wrs survive they will not feel lonesome. N. Y. Sun Dr. Doolnr ami I'ntlent. Prown Aren't you rather inconsist ent?
