CHICAGO, ILL.,, Nov. ia formidable
and deliberately planned raid was made
upon the Anarchists of this city last night
by Inpector Lewis and big army of his
bluecoats. Three meetings were broken
M, and Is of the reds We're led away to
prison while they shouted their threats to
demolish the mayor, the city and the
government.
Resistance was made to the arrest in
some cases. but so suddenly had the raiders
come down upon them that the Anarchists
were taken completely by surprise. Every
policeman carried cleaning revolver in
one hand, and there was bulge in the
pstol-pocket of almost every Red. The
raids last night were the beginning of a
systematic plan to root out all the warlike
Anarchists of Chicago. The officials have
begun the fight heroically, and il will be
pushed until not an anti-government meet
ing can be held in the city.
THE LEAvEN IN THE LOAF.
The raids were made upon meetings
held in tirief's Hall. Grief became the
bondsman of almost every one Of the men
arrested, the bond in each case being 5000.
When the inspector was seen after the
trouble last night he said that Grief the
'eader, was largely responsible for the up
rising OF May attn, 1856. Since the great
liaymarket riot on that day the Anarch-
lists have been nursing their wrath in
secret, and the police say they have ample
proof that riot of more serious proper
tons was contemplated at an early date.

New York Anarchists were to be present
and the local Anarchists were to turn out
in full force. lncendiary speeches were
to be made and trouble with the police to
be deliberately invited.
Then bombs were to be thrown, and the
result would have been repetition of the
Haymarket affair, only the reds would
have tried to make better showing than
they did on the other occasion.
MIGHTtER TODAY THAN EVER.
Policeman Schu testified that one of the
speakers announced that the Anarchists
were nightier to-day than at any previous
time IN their glorious existence, and that
they were prepared to give the police a big
dose of the medicine administed five wears
ago. Policeman Wesslcr reports that the
speeches We're Of the most incendiary
character, and that it would have been
made very uncomfortable for him had his
identity been known.
The meetings were held on the three
floors Of the building, and large squads Of
policemen simultaneously attacked each
one. On the first floor there was but little
resistance. Not so on the floor above Grief
