MOB HELD IN CHECK. Police of Paris* With the Greatest Dif- Acuity* Preserve«! Order. Paris, Jan. 25.—Toddav. Paris has tho appearace of being in a state of Biege, and 4,000 police and soldiers hold the Place de la Concord. Iu anticipation of the ^prohibited anti-Dreyfus demonstration today, un­ der the direction of the organizing com­ mittee appointed by the anti-Dreyfus meeting at the Tivoli Vauxhall last Monday night, stringent measures were taken by the authorities to preserve order. The Place de la Concord and the garden of the Tuilleries were held by detachments of cavalry and infan­ try and large forces of police. Nothing happened until 2 o'clock this afternoon, the time announced for the meeting to protest against the pro­ Drefytis agitation in the Salle des Milles section and in the Mont Parnesse quarter. The approaches to the hall were occupied by police and mounted republican guards, while the precau­ tion was taken of removing all chairs from the interior. The police refused admission to known anarchists, but many who were less prominent evaded ]>olice vigilance, gained admittance and created disturbances. M. Thiebaud was elected to the chair, and the noise- iest disturbers of the proceedings were expelled from the hall. M. Thiebaud proposed that a wreath should be laid on the Strasbourg statue, and the pro­ posal was greeted with cries of "Vite 1’armie” and "Vive la France!” As the disturbance continued, M. Thiebaud got a motion adopted to close the meeting. The wreath was then placed in a carriage, but the police re­ fused to allow the crowd to follow it in a body, and divided it into small groups. In the meantime, the anar­ chists tried in vain to organize a fresh meeting. The wreath was placed on the statue at half past 4 o’clock this afternoon, amid perfect order. Later in the evening the police dis­ persed large bodies of anti-Jewish dem­ onstrators in the Rue de la Fayette and at the office of the Aurore, but nothing serious occurred, and there were few arrests during the day. It is agreed on all sides that Satur­ day’s scene in the chamber of deputies was almost without precedent, except the recent disturbances in the Austrian reichsrath. Curiously enough. Count Badeni, the ex-Austrian premier, wit­ nessed it. He must have felt quite at home. After the chamber was cleared 125 torn-off neckties were picked up, to­ gether with many coats that had been torn by deputies from each other’s shoulders. M. Clovis Hughes, one of the deputies for the department ot the Seine, had a door slammed on his fin­ gers, which were so mutilated that he is now in the hands of a surgeon. The scene of fighting around the tri­ bune was unparalleled. VICTORY FOR BARRETT. VOTED FOR M'KENNA. Decision of Arbitrators in the Case of Dverwlielmlng Majority Favored Vice-Consul Kellett. Confirmation. San Francisco, Jan. 24.—A special press correspondent at Bangkok writes as follows, under date of November 15, 1897: "The long-awaited and much del ated decision of the arbitrators in the mat- ter of the assault U|xm E. V. Kellett, United States vice-consul, by Siamese soldiers at Chi.mggai November 19, 1896, was published yesterday in the Gazette for the first time, ami this morning an English translation was posted in the American legation. Shortly after the announcement of the assault, John Barrett, United States minister resident and consul-general, opened negotiations by demanding an investigation by a mixed commission, which Siam promptly refused, The ar­ rival of the gunboat Machias ili Feb- ruary, 1897, however, opened the eyes of the Siamese und hastened negotia- tions, for when Minister Barrett pro­ posed to call the commission, a board of arbitration was appointed. The Ma­ chias then left the river, and the board of arbitration, composed of Mr. Barrett and Mr. Orts, who represented the Siamese government, soon proceeded to investigate the matter, Bitting both at Bangkok and Chienggai. After a 20 days’ session, the commission agreed upon a decision without an umpire, and the result is a t’-ycided victory for Mr. Barrett. While the commission decitied that the conduct of the officers who committed the assault was to a certain extent excusable, from the ex­ citement resulting from the unusual and imprudent steps taken by Kellett in releasing his servant from the cus­ tody of the authorities, after he had been arrested, it was agreed that tlie Siamese government should apologize and punish the offenders. The officers in command of tho troops are to be publicly reprimanded and degraded in rank, while the men are to be deprived of pay for three months. ALTERNATIVE TO ANNEXATION Ilia Washington, Jan. 2 4.—The senate I'olav, in executive session, confirmed the nomination of Joseph McKenna, to be associate justice of the supreme court of the United States. In the open session an agreement was reached by the senate today that a final vote on the Teller resolution, providing that the bonds of tho United States may be paid in silver dollars, and all pending amendments thereto should be taken next Thursday before adjourn­ ment. Vest, in charge of the resolu­ tion, first announced that an agreement had been made for the final vote Wed­ nesday at 4 P. M., but readily agreed to a postponement of the vote until Thursday, at the suggestion of Ttirpie. Allison made the significant state­ ment that an amendment to the resolu­ tion that would cause some debate would be offered late in the discussion, but gave no intimation of the nature, scope or intent of the amendmetA. During the greater part of the after­ noon the senate was in executive ses­ sion. We Must Take Hawaii or I.eave It to Some Other Nation. WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
