PARIS, Jan. 20.—Over 2000 students | started a demonstration on the Boule- vard St. Michel. They tried to cross the river Seine, but the police prevented them. About sixty were arrested. From the Latin quarter 2000 stu- dents marched to the Hotel des Invali- des, some ralsing shouts of ‘“Vive I'Empereur.” They then crossed the bridges, where the police divided them into two bodies. One made a demon- stration in front of the Pepiniere bar- racks (Caserne de la Pepiniere) and the other, numbering 500, gathered in front of M. Zola's house with the usual cries. The police finally dispersed them, after making thirty arrests. There has been a small anti-Jewish demonstration at Rouen. Another stu- dent demonstration has taken place at Algiers. It was dispersed several times. Many arrests were made, and there were frequent fights in the Jewish mar- ket-place, where persons were slightly injured. Altogether there have been 115 arrests to-day, and many of those arrested are kept in custody. At Rouen the police charged the stu- dents, but failed to disperse them. The troops have been consigned to barracks and the police occupy the streets in force. Anti - Semitic disturbances have taken place throughout the day at Nancy. Newspapers supporting Drey- fus were burned on the staircase of the university. Despite the Government's prohibition the organizing committee of Monday’ anti-Semitic meeting at the Tivoli Vauxhall has decided to hold a public demonstration on Sunday afternoon. A dispatch from Epinal (capital of the Department of Voges, sit about 190 miles from here), says the first anti-Hebrew demonstration took place there to-day. Placards bearing the now popular cries, denouncing Zola and the Hebrews and upholding the army, were posted in front of the He- brew stores. The Minister of the Interfor, M. Bar- thou, at a Cabinet meeting to-day in- formed his colleagues of the measures taken to prevent demonstrations. He added that the proposed affair on Sun- day will be prohibited. The trial of Emile Zola will begin before the Assize Court February 1. CHARLES M. SHORTRIDGE CLINGING TO LIFE. At 1 0°Clock This Morning There Had Been No Change Reported in the Patient’s Condition.
