The Anarchists Trial,

PARIS, April 26 The TRIAL Of Ravachol
and other anarchists began to-day st the
Seine asaz,s court. So many threats have
been made that friends of the prisoners
would attempt some desperate act to either
free the accused or to prevent The trial that
admission 10 the court room was severely
restricted. O3y those personally known to
the court officials aud the twenty-five Wit
naases were admitted. The p,isoners are
charged with causing the explosions at The
residence OF Judge Benois and at the resi-
depoe OF Public Prosecutor BuIot. They
are also charged with attempting to blow
up the police oommlssarat at Olichy. Tn.
most elaborate precautions were taken by
the authorities to guard sgalnst any at

When Judge Cues entered the court room
he at once summoned the jary, who PIE.
sented greatly disturbed appearance. The
thrsa.s of the friends Of the prisoners have
evidently greatly frightened the Jurors and
the journalist present expressed the opinion
that 1t would require very strong evidence
to convince the Jurors OF the guilt of the
accused. The explosion last night no doubt
had much to do with the very apparent
un8illingness OF the jarora to serve in this
case. After the jurors had taken their
places the prisoners, headed By Ravschol,

immense number CT police. The proceed

PARIs. Apl. 26.-To state that the explo-
sion last night at the cafe OF M. Very hes
caused a feeling OF CONSERVATION in THE
city is to put 1t very mildly. The truth is
thet the people of Paris are panic stricken
at the audacisy of the anarchists. The feel
Ing OF fear lie heightened by the apparent
inposency OF the police t, prevent the en-
archists from committing outrages when
end where they please. So strong Is the
feeling of fear that many resideL and for.
eign viaiors are leaving the city. The
scene 10 the vicinity o! the explosian sur
passes description. Throughout the night
and morning excited crowds, come times
numbering twenty Thousand, filed the
street, and surrounded the wrecked rastsu-
rant. There we're signs among the crowd
that BODIED III for the murderous Williams
who. to gain revenge upon some one who
has offended them, do not hesitate to MAIN
and kill innocent women AID children. It
was urged that unless the government
speedily took some action to put down the
anarchists the people would themselves
take the matter Ia hand, lynch the leader
and drive the smaller fry from the country.
They are particularly bitter in their denun-
clalion of the ipeficieroy Of the police. The
report that NJ Very had died from the eff
fects of his Injuries was incorrect. Il Is
said ct the hospital to-day that 1t is thought

II killed Freda," said she, because

she consented. We were gong to marry here
and go to ST. Louis"

An Aluminium Boat.

The first boat ever built entirely of
aluminium was recently launcae oa
Lake Zurich, Switzerland. 1t resembles
in appearance and size the small naptha
launches, and, il fact, its motive power
is an engine of this kind, which has an
improved device whereby the flames eau
be maintained while the boat is not in
motion. Ac distance the boat has no un-
usual appearance. 1t is oaly on near ap-
proach and close examination that per-
son would notice that the boat was not
painted gray, but was made of white,
shining metal. Inside everything has
this silver-white color, Cor even the seats,
gunwales and handrails are made of this
beautiful and untarnishabIe metal.
Whenever polish is given the surface
looks like pure silver. mot only are
the ribs and plates made of aluminium,
but the castings of the engine, the rud-
der, and even the tiller ropes are made of
the same metal. The entire amount Of
aluminium used is little less than 600
pounds, while the total weight of the
boat, including the wood, iron and cop
per parts, is go pounds. The launch
will hold from eight to twelve people.
One of equal size built of wood and iron
would weigh from 400 to 100 pounds.
The plates forming the shell of the
launch are only half as thick as the iron
plates used on other launches. The
speed developed was also greater than
in other boats of the same class.-Pica-

ferences between the two Governments:
DEPARTMENT OF STATE,

Egdn, Minister Santiago:
| am directed by the President to acknowl.
edge the receipt of Senior Pereira's despatch
OF the 18th inst. 1t has been communicated
TO Congress and has given great pleasure to
the people of the United States and TO the
Executive Department, es il restores the cor.
respondence between the two republics to a
basis of cordially and makes, as he believes
fuil ana honorable adjustment Of all un-
settled matters easily attainable.
The President notes with qualification the
expressions Of regret for and condemnation OF
the assault upon the sailors of the Baltimore
offered by Senior Perera, and congratulates
the Gillian Government upon the frank and
ample withdrawal OF the Malta circular and
upon the spirit of justice displayed towards
Minister Egan. You will assure the CHILEAN
Government that the President will be glad
to meet, IN the most generous spirit, these
friends oVertures.
Believing that the subject of reparation for
the assault upon the seamen of the Baltimore
is now capable OF adjustment between the two
Governments by the usual diplomatic methods
the President postpones for the present any
discussion of the suggestions made by Senior
Perelra as to the use of other methods. not
doubling that the sense of Justice of Chilli
will enable the two Governments to speedily
and honorably make full end of the whole
matter. BLAINE

The United States supreme Court Says IL

The United States Supreme Court upheld

act Of the last Congress. affirming the decision
in the case Of Deyne and Rapier, the pub
fishers Of the New Orleans States and Mobile
Register. who we're indicted on the charge OF
sending through the mails newspapers con
tanning lottery advertisements. BY common
consent the cases we're made test suits as to
the constitutionality Of the law. Chief JUS
tice Fuller announced that owing 10 the death
Of Justice Bradley, to whom the writing Of
the opinion ia The ant-loitery eases had been
gwen, the court would postpone any eIabora-.
lion Of Its views, and confne itself 70 the ex-
preston OF the general ground on which the
decision proceeds. The court then said that
the opinion in ex parte jackson held that the
power vested in Congress TO establish post
Offices and p1sfroads embraced the regulation
Of the entire postal system Of the country.
and designated what may aud what may not
be excluded. The power granted Congress
was complete, and carried with it power to
forbid the use Of the mails ia all the perpetra-
ton OF crime or immortality. The court says
there Is no distinction between mala prohibit
ton and mala in So, and that il must be left
TO Congress IN tile exercise of sound discfe-
ton to determine what shall be excluded.
There Is no abriiigment Of the freedom Of the
press for the reason that the government does
not prohibit communication by other means,
but simply through the governments agencies
which it controls.
