A Sensation.
PITTsBURG, February 3.-The publica-
ton OF lengthy article in the Chronicle
Telegraph this afternoon, in which it is
asserted that there was an organization
of dynamiters in this city, who were
armed and waiting for a pretext for an
outbreak, has created great excitement
among the timid, and consider
able alarm. The story, as pub |
lished. IS as follows: Within the past |
two weeks, information has been OBJ /
tanned, piece by piece which shows that |
here in Pittsburg there is a Smoldering |
volcano, ready to break forth at any !
propitious moment. This information |
is to the effect that here are dynamiters, |
armed, supplied with explosives and |
ready to cause an outbreak whenever n
favorable opportunity is presented. For
several months, Russian and two
English spies have been at work
in Pittsburg and vicinity. An
endeavor to learn who are in
sympathy here with the Irish dyna-
miters OF Pittsburg for long time has
been q source of large revenue to the
dynamiters. Men in the mills and
mines, who believe in the doctrine OF
humiliation, have been liberal donaters
for the cause. Not from these men
alone have donations TO the Socialist
cause been received. At least two men,
who are famous the country over, and
who are worth millions of dollars, have
furnished money in considerable sums.
One Pittsburg millionaire is referred to,
il is said. Not only has he furnished
money to English and French radicals,
but also German extreme liberals, who
used the funds OF the German Reichstag
election. He evidently did not intend
his money TO go into the dynamite
branch of politics, but 4 portion of it has
drifted there nevertheless, for it has
gone from the hands OF
tine other. 1t is not the poor men who
are feared. There are, at this moment,
/ however, several thousand men in this
country, who would not stop at any
thing which would carry out their
ideas of the rights OF poor men to the.
possessions of the rich. There has been
no hesitation on their part to talk
/ openly in meetings and the press. These
men have gathered kindred spirits from
/ Chicago, from Hooking Valley,
/ from the anthracite and bitumi-
nous coal mines of the western
part of the State. These men have been
drifting into the city, singly and by
pairs, for a month or more. They have
come here, they say, for work, but in
reality to take hand Ut any moment,
| in any plumber and revolt against Il e
law that may be organized. Within {
past three weeks, from 1000 10 1,50 J
! By men i'm this city. Some come

from western points, and some from
eastern cities. These arms have been
put into the hands of only those char
acterS known, and who can be relied
upon. In addition 10 these arms, i
large quantity of dynamite has been
/ obtained ny the rcvolatiouiSts. Some
OF this was brought from other points
and some here. by men who are not
doing this sort of work for the first
time. This dynamite is secreted in two
or three secret magazines, which are only
! known To the leaders of the movement.
This sounds eXtravagant. reads ike wild
sensation, perhaps, but IL is true, and
known To be true by the persons who
! have interests at stake. These men
complain that they cannot find work.
that they aresui1ering from hunger, and
| on this plea claim they are justified in
u
and other capitalists. Several OF
these men have been warned,
or have discovered the con-
di,ion of affairs in part, and have mott
fed the police that there is an uneasy,
restless feeling among them. This is so
true that it can be readily proven. The
police have not been idle, but they have
no results as yet. ASK for information,
and they viii tell you they know
nothing about this matter. Some OF
them do not. In this movement are
all sorts of elements, Germans. Russians.
Italians, Swedes, Swiss and French
socialists and revolutionist5, and Irish
dvnamiterS have joined the forces.
There are English interests 10 be reached
here by Irish dynamiters and English
representatives too, and they know it.
4 month ago, local socialists We're
pure and simple. Now they are
warm friends and allies, and
have met together at more than one
secret meeting. What has brought
them together, unless it may be com
munity interests? These men are
known, and so are their records and re-
cent movements known also on the
other side the Atlantic.
Johann Most, the Socialist leader.
was in Hooking Valley only a short
time ago, and in council with the revo-
lutionists. He went into Ma
honing Valley too, where many
thousand men will be thrown out
OF work by the shutting down of the
iron works in few days He was in
Pittsburg too; made no public speeches,
but was satisfied with quiet conferences.
There is no new grand scare on the head
OF all this
