tho faults Of our predecessors. who for q
succession Of years allowed everything
to DO done and said under the guise Of
liberty OF speech and pom to prostitute
tho cause Of liberty, and this has result
cd in the recent outbreaks Of anarchism.
l am collecting every thread OF evidence
against tho agitators and their plots
and intend 10 continue to do So"
Mr.. Ioubet added: '.Thoro Is abso-
lutely no reason to fear that disturb

and every contingency has been pro-
vided for. Franco may honestly and
frankly be treasured"
a majority OF tho Ravachol jurymen
during their open discussion OF the case
declared they were opposed TO finding
extenunting circumstances, but or n So
cret ballot seven OF thom voted for lcni-
cncy and five against it.
Most OF the papers declare that the
verdict was an inoxcusable miscarriage
OF justice.
The anarchists Of this city have sue.
ccedcd in distributing violent manifes-
toes among the soldiers in various bar
racks, where, however, their tenets find
no acceptance.
"A WOMAN DID IT.
Very, the restaurant proprietor who
narrowly escaped death tho other day,
says he believes that a young woman
whom he is abln to describe Brought
the bomb by which his restaurant was
blown up. She carried a basket which
she asked permission to leave behind
his counter while she made a call else
whore. The explosion occurred a few
moments after she left. a cab man
testified he drove in his cab a woman of
the same description, together with
three men.
The recent dynamite outrages have
caused a feeling among the people that,
despite the reiterated assurances of the
authorities that no trouble will occur
on Mag Day, the first of May will wit
ness rioting and bloodshcd, not only in
Paris, but also in the various labor saw
ing appliances throughout the country.
Notwithstanding the assertions that the
anarchists have no organization, that
each individual acts on his own re-
sponsibility, the public generally point
out the recent explosions and the at
tempts to cause explosions as direct
proof to the contrary, claiming that tho
whole series OF outrages have been the
work of a regularly organized band OF
anarchists. )
Thoughbthc authorities have repeat
eddy saids,that no trouble was antici-
pated in, this city, they are nevertheless
taking the most extensive precautions
to repress any disorders on May day.
On that day the municipal elections
will take place throughout France, ex-
cept in Paris, and it feared that tho
crowds in, the towns where elections oc-
cur, excited by partisan feeling, may
perhaps fill an easy prey to the anarch.
lst agltators who are certain TO inveigh
against government and society if the
occasion offers.
TROOPS IN READINESS.
After tonight all the troops will be
confined in their barracks to await or
ders. Every man will be ready for in
slant service. Their arms will be piled

The managers of the large English
and American shops near the grand
opera house have received threatening
letters declaring that every house that
is not French will DO blown up.
The communist and revolutionary
groups condemn the May Day displays
rs tho work OF German socialists, de-
claring that the latter are pure reac-
~tionists.
Tho Echo dc Paris to-day publishes
what purports to be I'M interview with
the anarchist who caused the explosion
Mt NJ. Very's restaurant. In this inter
view the anarchists arc made to say
that explosions will begin again in a
fortnight.
Considerable excitement, not un-
mixed with indignation against the po-
lice, has been caused ut Dion, capital
ofthc Cote dor. by an attempt made
to blow up the town hall. Ii is con.
sidercd to DO q remarkable state of af-
fairs when anarchists can approach a
supposed-to-be carefully guarded public
building, arrange their explosives and
then make their escape without being
e by the guards ut any part of the
proceedings. Fortunately the explosion
did but little. damage and nobody was
injured.
Anarchists Fooled In Spain.
MADRID, April 20.-The secret plot
tinss o. the anarchists to make trouble
on May Day in Barcelona received a se-.
rere blow to-day. Proclamations
couched in the most violent language
had been stealthily distributed BY the

workshops OF that city, and they were
followed by an out and out anarchist
manifesto calling upon the w%orkingmen
