Explosions in Paris.
Paris still continues paralyzed
with fear over the outrages of the
anarchists and their threats to
destroy the city if their companions
who are now in the clutches of the
law are punished. On April 25th a
restaurant was blown up and the
proprietor killed. This was done
because Ravachol, the leader of the
anarchists, was arrested in the
restaurant at the instigation of the
proprietor The police have not
found a clew to the miscreants, and
there is a general feeling that the
police are powerless to prevent an
archist outrages. AS a consequence,
throngs of residents and many
foreign visitors are leaving the city
for safety. The press demands that
martial law be proclaimed, and if
things go on as at present it is pro-
bable that this will be done.
Ravachol and Simon who ex-
ploded the first bombs several
weeks ago, have been tried and
found guilty, but the jury were so
terrorlzed by threats Of the anar-
chists, that they made the punish
ment life imprisonment when the
crime was murder. Ravachol con-
fessed his crimes, and said that the
money found in his room at the
time of his arrest, was the proceeds
of one of his late murders.
Ravachol concluded his remarks
with an exposition of his theories.
He said: II wish to see anarchy
established and the whole people
as one great family, each member
ready to share what he has with
his brethren. / committed these
outrages in order to draw the at
tention of the public to the needs
of the anarchists"
In the conduct of the trial, great
precaution had to be taken, as it
was feared that an attempt would
be made to destroy the court in
case of conviction, but the anarch-
lists did not have the courage to
make the effort.
