What n Prominent Detective Has to
Say About the Situation.
Developments ola More Sensational
Nature Will Soon Occur.
Tho Groups Are Organized Under
Plans of Johann Most.
Each Group Is Composed OF Only Few
Members and Its Actions Are I'm
tirely Independent, Thus the
Great Body is Safe.

CmcAGo, M, July 2l,-A local paper
says This is only prelude" said a
Central station detective, speaking OF tho
arrest OF the Bohemian dynamitcrs. "pe.
rclopments far more important and scnsa-
tlonal will follow, and at least six more
anarchists, all Germans and prominently
identified with thc.llaymarkct riot, will DO
placed under arrest"
II appears that since the North side
group, Of which Fischer and Engcl were
members, was disbandcd about wear and
u half ago, a number OF small anarchist
groups have been formed in various parts
Of the city. The groups are organized on
plan suggested by Johann Most and his
associates In New York. Each group il
composed ol but three or four members.
and Is entirely independent in lis actions.
Whatever group undertakes IL does On
lis own responsibility. II case It's exist
cncc is discovered, only It's own Tow menu
beers arr affected, and these can furnish the
police information but about themselves.
The members OF one group know nothing
about those OF another, aud the only way
they communicate is through Johann
Mosts New York paper, the Fcihsi.
