is an original attempt to revive the customs of the Middle Ages in modern Paris. M. Jules Guérin, " prominent unti-Semite, a man of adventurous temperament and great admirer of that modern conguistador the Marquis de Mords, was one of the persons suspected of complicity in the alleged Royalist plot—of which, by the by, we know a3 little now as we did when the arrests were made neatly a fortnight ago. M. Guérin, instead of surrendering or taking to flight, shut himself up with a number of kindred spirits in a house used as the headquarters of the anti-Semitic propaganda, and threatened to fire on anyone who attempted to capture him. The authorities evidently take him at his own valuation, for they have made no attempt to make him comply with the law beyond Dlockading the house, stopping up the sewer outlet sand cutting off the gas, water, and telephone—a somewhat bourgeois and prosaic style of proceedings. The Govern. ment is, of course, commendably anxious not to risk the lives of the police or troops attack on M. Jules Guérin and his fellow fanatics, but the situation is becoming intolerable and must create very bad impression abroad.
