knots of men gather and heatedly discuss

the effect of increasing public interest in
the battle between the opposing parties.

Anarchists Arrested.
BERNE, February Pin consequence
of the decision to expel Anarchists from
Switzerland the police raided suspected
houses this mo rning. Wholesale arrests
were made. Ten notorious Anarchists we're
arrested in this city.
The whole of Switzerland was thrown
into a state of semi.panic at 6 oclock-this
morning by the well.planned raids. Whole
sale arrests we're made in all sections Of the
country at the same moment, and the plans
of the police were so we'll laid and the secret
of the intended descent so closely kept that
nearly all the prisoners were taken from
their beds. Arrests were made in other
cities and towns where the anarchical propa.
garda had taken root. What course the
Government intends to pursue in the mat
ter of puniChment, further than the usual
expulsion, has not been made public, but
firm determination to stamp out Anarchlsm
has evidently teen reached.
