The shock that Chicago received from
the Haymarket affair is not allowed to
subside, for new developments are cons
tantly being brought to light Of the
strength and determination of the An.
archists, and of the large amount of ma.
terial possessed by them for destructive
warfare. The revelations before the
Chicago grand jury have been startling
and sensational. The Anarchist conspir.
acy in Chicago is no new thing, il seems.
but has existed for years. Money has
been collected for it, and an armed organ
ization founded IL carry out its purposes.
Men were drilled and trained in the use
OF explosives, and the manufacture of
dynamite taught and encouraged. Plans
were regularly prepared for the firing and
sacking OF portions of the city; and these
plans would have been carried out but
for the premature exposure Of the aims
| OF the Anarchists
The Anarchists are, according TO Meze.
roff, the great Russian Nihilist, whose
treatise on the manufacture of explosives
is circulated so widely in this country,
much stronger here than we have imag.
ined, as strong indeed as in European
countries. He estimates the number in
Chicago at 5000, half of all in this conn.
try, $500 in New York and $500 in 9th.
or cities, principally Milwaukee, Pitts.
burgh. Philadelphia. Cincinnati, St.
Louis and Buffalo. His estimates for
Europe Is $1,000, of whom $1,000 are in
Germany. 1900 in Switzerland, 10000
each In Russia, Austria. Bohemia, Hun
gary, and 5000 In France. The ficrcest
Anarchists, says Mezcroff. are the Rus,
sian Poles, Bohemians and Hungarians.

Some changes have been made in the
rulings conceroing unmailable matter.
The rule has been. for long time, that
candy and cake could not be sent by mail
unless enclosed In tin or wooden box.
These articles are very troublesome in the
mail, If candy can go by, any kind of
candy can go, and candies are sent that
melt and run, and de6lc and glue togeth.
er all the other mail matter In tho same
pouch with It, Cake is worse still, and,
strange as II may seem, gives the depart.
ment more trouble than any other kind Of
mail matter. II Is always wedding cake,
and very rich. II not only breaks up,
| gets scattered through the pouch and
leaves great grease spots on 1.-THE other
mail matter, but attracts the rats, so that
they eat through the pouches and through
the other mail matter to get to H. Expe.
perlence has proved. now that even en-.
closing cake and candy in tin or wood
does not remedy these evils; and consc.
quently a late ruling declares cake, candy
ana @ all sorts OF confectionery unmailablc.
