' ' . f ;: TWO KILliED IN ALGIERS EI0TS. The Jewish Quarter Attacked and Stores IIllaiced-!-Muy 'Persons In-. Jnred In the Flehts Between the Mob and the Hebrews. Paris, Jan. 24. In anticipation of the prohibited aritl-Dreyf us demonstration yesterday, under the .direction of the organizing committee gf the anti-Drey-' fus meeting at the Tivoli Vauxhall last Monday night, stringent measures were taken by the authorities to preserve order. The Place de la Concorde . and the Harden of the Tuilleries was held by detachments of cavalry and infantry and iaree forces of Dolice. Nothinpr happened until 2 o'clock in the after noon, the time announced for the meet ing to protest against the pro-Dreyfus ' agitation, in the Salle des Milles Colon nes, iu.the Montpamasse quarter. The approaches to the hall were oc cupied tby police'and mounted Republi can guards, while the precaution was taken of "removing all chairs from the interior. The police refused admission to known anarchists, but many who were less prominent evaded the police vigilance, gained admission and created disturbance. , i 1 M. Thiebaud wfes elected to the chair, and the nosiest 'disturbers ofk the vpro ceedings . were expelled from, the hall. M. Thiebaud proposed f hat a wreath should be laid on the Strasbourg statue, and the proposal was greeted - with cries of "Vive l'armee" 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 car riage, but the police refused to allow the crowd to follow in a body, and di vided it into small groups. In the meantime, the anarchists tried in vain to organize a fresh meeting.. , The wreath was placed upon the stat ue'at 430 in the afternoon amid perfect order. Later in the evening the police dispersed large bodies of 1 anti-Jewish demonstrators in the Rue de la Fayette and at . the offices of Ther Aurore. But nothing serious occurred, and there were few arrests during the dayl. - 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 reichrath. Curiously enough, Count" 6adent, former Austrian premier, witnessed- it. He imist have felt quite .at home. . . - . . . After the chamber was cleared 125 xtorn off neckties were picked un, to gether with many coats that had been torn by deputies from each other's shouiderte. M. Clovis Hug'ues, -one of the deputies for the department of the Seine, had a dpor slammed on his fin- gers-which -were-so. mutilated that he is now in tie hands of a surgeon. 'I, "The scen; of the ifbjhting around the tribune w-us .unparalleled.' Comte de jBernis is a retired cavalry officer, ahd I lias the rough manners of the bull fighting town of Nimes, wtiere he will be a candidate at the next elections. M. Jaures is thick iset, florid, and hairy. M. Gerault Richard is mild looking. The latter was hustled and knocked about like a football j;irf his attempt to deal Comte 'd?! Bernis a blow. Some SO depu ties were in the fight. Coats were torn to. tatters and cravats were seized in the attempts to choke an. opponent. During a lull in the fight M. Gerault Richard was seen in tatters, his cravat torn off and his", vest front torn open, while his sympathizers were petting him on the back. . ; Suddenly Comte de Bernis bounded up the stairs bjf the tribune on all fours like an animal, dealt M. Jaures' a heavy blow on the back of the head,.- and -kicked him on the legs. M. Jaures was knocked over, and stumbled down the steps. Picking himself up, he saw Comte de .Bernis making off with a crowd of deputies, while the remainder of the house hooted him, crying "Cow ard" and "Traitor." M. Jaures threw a knotted - handkerchief after him. Comte de Bernis seemed paralyzed, and the house cheered M. Jaures, while a body of socialists made another rush at Comte de Bernis, and the"melee was renewed as furious as beforel M. Bnsson, president of the chamber, finding' it hopeless to restore order, de parted, and the military entered at the request, it is said, of; a, q.uestor; who feared less of life if the scenes were continued. . t DEADLY ANTI-Jfl WIS II RIOTS. The Jewish Quarter At tricked yind Two Christians Killed. ; Algiers, Jan. 24." Anti-Jewish riots were renewed here yesterday. The mob invaded the Jewish quarter and pillag ed the shops in the Rue Babazbunie, driving the Jewish merchants into the streets., A squadron of Chasseurs was ordered to the scene, and charged the mob with, drawn swords, "but the mob re-formed further on, cheering for the' army. .. . . -;f, , .. . .. r , . Revolvers and daggers Were freely used. Ohe man who was stabbed in the back and shot in the head died on the spot. 'and many were seriously stabbed, one, named Cayol, dying from his in juries at 4 o.'clock in-the afternoon. . The crowd, hearing of this, became danger ously, excited, shouted "They are mur dering us," "Death to the Jews," and resumed pillaging.

' In the open session of the senate Tues day the urgent deficiency bill, carrying 51,913,810, was passed, -and the Teller bill providing for the payment of govern ment bonds in silver coin was favorably reported.

' Wednesday's session of, the house was enlivened by a further debate on Cuba, resulting from an unsuccessful effort to direct the foreign affairs eornxnittee to report the Cuban resolution adopted by , the senate last session. Mr. Hitt, chair man of the committee, made an impas sioned appeal against action . at this time, declaring that the Cuban insur gents urged recognition only with a de sire to plunge thisr country into war with Spain.

After three unsuccessful attempts, to break jail, William Douglas, colored, on the fourth trial, succeeded today. At 8 o'clock Jailer Jackson .entered the cell where he and his mate, Dempster Saulsbery. 'were .confined, to fix the stove. ' Sup posing that they were securely held-by iron shackles which had been placed on them in order to prevent any further" attempts on their part to escape, the jailer left the door' open, and while his -back was turned Douglas left.

There is no change in the strike situation. No attempt vas made to start the striking cloth mils today, and no excitement is expected at any of the mills. Secretary Ross is n receipt of offers to aid the strikers from Lowell and yother places. At Lowejll a subscription paper has been started by the Lowell Sun, and the amoint subscribed is. already con siderablei From a shop in this city, not -connected with the textile industry, Mr. Ross hasi been informed that the work men employed there will contribute $50 to the strike fund weekly as long as it lasts. j ; j . The committee of the general strike committee, composed of representatives of the various associations, began to day, to solicit funds for the strike. Cre dentials, stamped with the official, mark of the utiion, have been supplied to the member of the committee.

' The center of the Interesting scenes in the textile troubles temporarily shift-, ed fromf New Bedford to Boston yes terday to the meeting ofthe executive council f the Rational Spinners union. This meeting was called to consider the strike sStuationin New Bedford, and also thel matter of the Fall River mills and other mills in. New England where strikes for lockouts are imminent or have already taken place. The meeting was ont of discussion rather than of action, although it was resolved to con centrate all the efforts of the organiza tion oni the New Bed.ford situation. leaving the Fall River trouble and the difficulties, in other cities for local unions o handle and adjust if possible. . The principal feature of the discus siori was the denunciation of the Ark Wright j club, .and the charge that that organization of mill treasurers and agents conspired with Agent Chase, of the King Philip mill, of Fall River, to substitute ring for mule spinners. There seemed! to be some difference of opinion as to whether Agent Chase was a w'll- ing paty to what was called the con spiracy or had been forced into u -oy the Arkwright club, 'it was, however, generally accented as a fact by the meeting that the attempt to put in the ring frames was merely an entering' wedge! to nut them In every mill in Fall River. . . The fepinnerss that the machines do Inferior work, and that their in troduction in other mills In 'New Bed ford has not been profitable to the mill owners.' In tnills where the ring frames have been - placed no ' dividends have been said. 'An instance was cited of one mill that had been shut down for ten years simply because there' was no demand for its product after machinery took the place of men. The New Bedford strike situation was fully discussed, and the general opinion seemed to be that the settlement of the trouble would be a long time in coming. In fact. Secretary Ross said that he did not lok lor its solution until far into the summer, if, indeed, it came then..

Depositors lleeomliia Jlestless' Over the Delay .of the AIiriieej. r -Philadelphia, Jan. 21. The managers of the brokeriGhestnut Street National bank have not yet decTarecTthelr plan of voluntary liquidation operative, ' though they claim that they are wait ing only for the assent of .the state of Pennsylvania, amounting to $250,000. Individual non-assenting depositors are becoming restless. It is one' month since the doprs of this bank were closed. Though the institution has been' tech nically in the charge of a. banlt exam iner, its affairs appear to jbe in the bands of Messrs. Earle and Cooke, who are the assignees for the Chestnut Street Trust and Saving ' Fund com pany andithe Lennon dry goods store. and who have charge of Mr. Slngerly's other liabilities. In as much as former Comptroller -of the Currency Eckles has stated that the bank was in a bad con dition forf more than a year before it was .closep", many of the depositors think that a full rnonth is as much time as the government should extend for the perfection of a plan for volun tary liquidation. "In financial circles it. is belevedj that the plan of liquidation will be adopted within a few days or a receiver Appointed, and the greatest failure thjat Philadelphia has known wiH-,pass into history before the . close of another week.
