officials, fearing that, sooner or later in
formation of whatever character concern
ing the Anarchists of Pittsburg and Allie
gheny would be of no value, have been
keeping close watch on all parties known
to be acquainted with the affairs of that
body.
BAUER SUCCEEDED HERR FRIcKE.
According to their statement, Bauer
succeeded to Herr Frickes position after
the latter committed suicide, and has heen
III charge of the literary bureau ever since.
Bauer's headquarters in Allegheny have
been at az Spring Garden avenue, In n
frame building, IL by 20 feet in dimensions,
and of dilapidated appearance. One side
of the room is occupied by the shoe shop
of Maxwell Albrecht, and Bauer has his
desk on the other. A greasy-lookihg cur
tam separates the front part of the room
from the sleeping quarters of Bauer and
Albreoht, in the rear. On the walls are
pictures of the Anarchists executed at
Chicago. The drawers of Bauers desk
were full of Anarchistic literature, and
this was brought to the central station.
Bauer was seen in company with Berg
man last week, and 1t was from descrip-
ton of him that he was traced and ar
rested.
When Detective McTighe pointed to him.
saying to the other officers that he was the
man, they could scarcely believe it.
Bauer is large, fine looking man, about
35 years Of age; he weighs over 200 pounds
and is six feet tall, lie is well proper
toned. full in the face, has heavy black
moltstache and eyebrows and black hair.
When arrested he wore neat black Alpaca
coat and vest, striped trousers, baseball
shoes and straw hat. He presented
very neat appearance, and it was for this
reason tho officers doubted whether he
was the man. Bauer had one shoe off
got cd tuh = h.. 1i..I
and he was not inclined at first to go. He
consented presently, and putting on his
shoe started off without making any dis
turbance. He was very cool and has little
to say regarding his arrest.
HE DISTRIBUTED AYARcHIsrTc LITERATURE.
He acknowledges having been engaged
in distributing anarchistic literature at
Homestead and that he was the man
whom the mill men wanted to leave town
for trying to scatter circulars of the kind.
When landed at Central Station he had a
subscription book in his pocket, which he
used in taking names of persons subscrib-
ing to different magazines and papers of
an anarchstic nature. lie had also gold
watch and chain, two keys and 81 cents in
change.
Bauer was known to have met Bergman
at Knobs house and when confronted
with the statement he acknowledged that he
became acquainted with Bergman there.
Bauer said Bergman was seeking employ
ment. Bauer told him it was bad time
to look for work while there was a strike
at Homestead Bauer also said he thought
that Bergman left the city last Friday.
1t is thought Bauer knows good deal
more than he is willing to tell. He is
looked upon as a leading Anarchist and as
having been connected with the plot to
murder Mr.. Frck. Anarchcts have been
tnu l. inn bnir
There are many of them in this part of
Allegheny, and it is thought some of them
may have known about the attempted as
| sassnation before last Saturday. Another
nest of Anarchists is located ON the South
Side and it is now under police sur
Vigilance.
A thorough examination of the contents
of Bauer's desk was made. 1t contained
| pictures of well-known Anarchists and
letters and circulars, breech-loading rifle,
a 44-calibre revolver. with cartridges of
| that size, lot of 22calibre cartridges,
roll of red ribbon for badges, quantity
of red neckties, II book OH Anarchlsm by
Parsons and other articles.
A small package was found which was
| quite mysterious, 1t was the shape of
small envelope, on the outsides of which
| was written ITO be drawn through"
The package contained about dozen
| grains or beads about the size of grain of
corn, to the end of each of which was
attached a short string. They are red in
| color and are supposed to be an explosive
of some kind to be used in committing
suicide. A list of seventy millionares was
also found in the drawer.
THE ARREST OF MALLAcK.

accessory to the assault on Mr.. Frck be-
fore and after the fact was made to-day
and he will be brought to Pittsburg for
trial. Other important arrests are expected.
THE CASE OF PRIVATE JAMS.
HOMESTEAD, July 26.-Yesterday General
| Snowden began all Otncial investigation of
| the Iams case, and Private Iains is ut
| Homestead to he given hearing. His
presence there gave rise to reports that he
would have an unfriendly meeting, il not
u deadly encounter, with Colonel Streator.
This is extremely unlikely. Colonel
| Streator has very few men who can match
| him physically in camp, He is tall, fine
looking man, probably not in his 4Os vet,
| and is the very best of company socially
He divides the honors with Colonel Case
of the Fourth Regiment, of being the best
looking soldier in camp
In connection with the Iams case Cen
ment to-day, which divides the response
bility for the punishmentinflicted on lams
General Snowden says that he did not
order lams to be strung up by the thumbs
nor to have his head shaved, but only gave
an order that lams should be drummed out
of camp i'll disgrace.
| The result of the investigation of the
case will go to Governor Pattison, and
nothing will be heard of it officially until
after the Homestead difficulty is settled,
| thereby defeating the object for which it
is being chiefly stirred up at this time.
1t is generally recognized here that, sur
rounded as Camp Black is and constantly
eXposen TO Influences intended to spread
| disaffection in the camp it was necessary
to make severe example of Iams. I'm
happily, there were too many outspoken
comments heard among the guardsmen in
one or two regiments which were un-
worthy of them and disgrace to the uni
form they Wore.
The commanding atficers were aware of
this dangerous sentiment, and severe dis
cipline was resorted to when the first OPP
portunity presented itself.
ENGLISH CRITICISM
LoNpoN, July 26.-All of to-day's papers
| print comments upon the punishment in
tiicted upon Private Iams at the orders of
Lieutenant-colonel Streator, commanding
the Tenth Pennsylvania Regiment, now
stationed at Homestead, for proposing
three cheers for the man who shot and
stabbed Mr.. il. G. Frick chairman Of the
Carnegie Steel Company, on Saturday last.
All assert that if the colonel of an Eng
lish regiment treated private in his COM
mand as Northumberland Streator
ordered lnms to be treated he would have
been court-martialed and dismissed from
the service
The 50. danes Gazette regards the incident
as an illustration of the ever widening
difference between the American and
| British chararIers and sama. ..rhn tA,,.,i.l.-
