HUNTING ANARCHISTS.
French Police Round up Several
Dozens.

PARIS, April %. = Notwithstanding
the fact that a number OF leading an
archsts are in Jail and other have been
driven from the country, those at lib
erty are still active and holding secret
meetings. While the subjects
of their deliberations are not
known, the general belief is they have
reference to the May day celebration.
Oftentlmes the fact that the meeting
has been held comes to the knowledge
OF The authorities too late TO be of any
service 10 them, but the police are ex-
traOrdinarlly vigilant and anyone
known to be an anarchist or TO
have anarchistic tendencies is liza
bic U find himself in the clutches Of
the law at any time. The police learned
yesterday OF a number of lodgings occu-
pied by anarchists, and a raid was at
once planned. This morning a number
OF gendarmes detailed for the purpose
made descent upon the houses where
the anarchists lived, and captured forty
fye men, VINO were at once taken 10 the
prefecture. and afterwards locked up.
The police of this city have not been
the only ones who have been on an
auarcnist hunt today. Similar hunts
have been conducted in other places,
and the result is that large number of
men who are considered dangerous are
now safely in jail. At st. Etienne 80
anarchists were arrested. at Dion s. at
Amiens s, and ut Lyons 4.
IL he's transpired that the combined
action of the Paris and provincial po-
lice in their search for anarchists today
was arranged at special meeting sum
moEed last night by NJ. Loze. perfect of
the Paris police. AT this meeting the
commissioners of all the police districts
were handed warrants empowering
them 10 arrest all suspects ia their sew
eral Jurisdictions.
The chief aim of the authorities was
10 obtain a thorough knowledge of the
anarchist organization and 10 learn if
possible the manner in which the d ma
mite cartridges were recently stolen
from Soissy and how they had been dis
tributed. The papers found included
no Important documents. but numerous
reVolvers and daggrrs were found and
seized. TWenty-four anarchists have
been arrested in LYONS.
Nj. POusa, edter of the anarchist
paper Pere Ponard, was arrested today
and his paper was seized. The police
also searched the offices of Prince Kra-
