The Audubon people have been max
ing such furry and such a stir in po-
lite society, both here and abroad, that
1t is rather surprising TO note the fact
that plumage is still fashionable. The
Audubon ladies set about barishing
bird wings from millinery this year
with a force and gusto quite unknown
in the history of their society. With
great worldly wisdom they set about
getting the patronage Of royalty. and
the success of their judgment is shown
by the fact that there were actually
fewer gulls shot this year than ever be-
fore. The Princess Louise. the duchess
OF Fife and even the pretty princess OF
Wales lent their encouragement TO this
movement, and it locked for short
time as if birds wings were TO adorn
members of the feathcred tribe only.
But American women have not that
great veneration and respect for royalty
which their foreign sisters have. and SO
they pooh-poohed the idea Of giving up
birds wings Just because the duchess OF
Fife approved Of it, and they saucily in
ouired what in the world Princess Lon
ise had 90 say about tho propriety Of the
wearing of murdered blackbirsis upon

A BANK BLOWN UP
It is Now a Reign of Terror
in Paris.
MORE EXPLOSIONS THREATENED
Judge Benoit Ordered to Leave His HOUSE
by the Owner

Rich Distiller warned that His House
viii be Blown Up on May Day II is
Thought that the Anarchists Guilty of
Recent Explosion Can be Punished with
Death-The Reds watched in London
All Baggage viii be Examined.
PARIS, March 30.--There was a dyna-
mite explosion late yesterday afternoon
in the building of the Credit Lyonnais
one Of the largest banking institutions
Of the city.
Police are in charge of the building
and refuse to let anybody approach Two
arresti have been made.
The bank building is one of the most
important in Paris architecturally. 1t is
a massive building in the heart of the
great business quarter. 1t is unlikely to
be more than wrecked in a room or two.
Probably the explosive was placed in
the courtyard.
The Anarchists have sent a warning to
a rich distiller named Premier, who
lives in Romans, in the Department Of
Drome. They threaten that mis- distillery
will be blown up with dynamite on May
Day. They have no grudge against him,
but will distroy his building because he
is the richest man in the place NJ. Bulot,
the public prosecutor, in answer to in
quiries about the dynamite outrage at
his residence, says:
cat the trial of the Anarchists in
August l demanded the heads of De-
camps and Dardare. The jury was timid
and only imposed three years imprison-
ment. Juries are so cowardly that l
doubt il any would convict Ravachol if
81 I
ist but reprobate Anarchism. 1t is ex-
tremely probable that there is a grudge
against me- Decamps, who is violent
fanatic and who is now in Poisey Prison,
is the real leader of his party. He is
beloved by his wife, who may be secretly
melting his friends"
Premier Louber has conferred with the
chief of the detective force. 1t was re-
solved that all who were arrested on
suspicion should be treated with the ut
most rigor. The landlords of buildings
in which officials believed to be obuox-
ious TO Aaalcllst- reside are getting anx-
ious about t-tU property, and Judge
Benoit has received notice to quit. His
landlord had received notices from his
tenants that they would quit if Benoit
did not.
The Royalist Gazette de France, is
| trying to make political capital out of
/ these attempts. 1t taunJs the Republi-
cans with having banished God, liberty
and honesty, with having set up statues
to insurgents and celebrated anniversa-
ries of rebellions. They are now reaping
what they have sown. The harvest is
not yet ripe, but will be so quickly.
1t is thought that the Anarchists
guilty of the recent explosions can be
punished with death under the law then
in force, This, however, is somewhat
/ doubtful.

THE STOLEN DYNAMITE.
London omoiaIs Fear that At is Stored In
that City.

London Oficials Fear that At is Stored In
that City.
LONDON, March 30.-The police here
have been ordered to watch Anarchists
who arrive here from the Continent. In
the last three weeks 200 of them are said
to have come over from Paris and Zurich
Their presence has been noticed at the
Socialists meetings on Sunday nights,
and the attention of Home Secretary
Matthews was called to the fact
1t is apprehended that many of the 800
dynamite cartridges stolen from the
Soisp- Sous -Etiolles quarry in February
have been brought over and stored here
for future use. Consequently the strin-
gent regulations made after the attempt
to blow up the Parliamentary buildings
have been revived, and the Custom
House officials have been ordered to en-
force them without exception or modif-
cation. All baggage will be examined,
and immense inconvenience will result
for all tourists in Europe this spring and
summer.
Several Paris detectives have arrived
here, it is said, with proof of the CO.
operation of the Paris and London
Anarchists The Socialists here deny
that they know more than the general
public about the outrages, and say that
no refugees have arrived from the Conti-
nent. They do not countenance the
methods Of the Paris dynamiters.
