Paris is suffering from scare that appears

Paris is suffering from scare that appears
to paraiyze the people and perplex the au-
thorities. The dynamite plotters may only
be very small in number and deprayed and
stepped in crime like Rayachol, but they
work in secret. and outrage after outrage Is
perpetrated without detection and without
any certainty that the police will capture
the guilty rites. 1t was supposed that
with the arrest of RavachOl and the BAN
ishment of a score of anarchist leaders
Paris would be rid of the dynamitardS, but
there are still some of the fraternity left TO
werk mischief. The miScreants have been
as good as their word in wrecking the res
taurant where RayachoE was arrested. M.
Very. the proprietor. was evidently marked
out for vengeance, and he has lost
his life. Other persons are also in
is 10 terrorizs the jury in the tria
Of the anarchists. and it may be
concluded that a verdict Of conviction will
not be drawn from men whose faces bear
testimony 10 their fears and who have
some reason to regard the outrage at Very's
restaurant as an intimation that the an
arehists are determined and clever enough
to outwit the police The precautions taken
in court imply that there is some fear OF dy-
Mantle bombs even under the nose OF the
bench. 1t will be difficult for the jury to
avoid convlcting Rayachol, for he not only
eoDfesses his crimes but glorles in them as
deeds calculated TO advance civilization and
bring back the golden age. The conviction
and .condign punishment OF few OF the
corresponding miscreants would do much
TO restore the confidence OF the Quaking
bOurgosie IN the supremacy Of law
Tie announcement Of the death of WILL
lam Astor in Paris will awaken fresh inter

her millionaire father. whose fortune in real
estate is estimated at so or 60 million dol
lars. 1t is extremely probable that Mr..
Aston took precautions to secure absolutely
10 his daughters interest every dollar he
left her. The scandal which has been the
occasion of SO much tattle in the fashionable
world was no doubt very painful matter
to him, and il may well be that 1t is respOn-
sible to some extent for his death. A man
who has disease II the heart is in constant
danger If victim to worry.
The sealers in Bering Sea are indifferent
what complications arise provided they can
catch the seals and reap profit from the
skins. No sooner is mOdus yiveadi for the
present time arranged between the United
States and Great Britain. with reference
TO arbitration for permanent settlement,
than news comes from Victoria that the
owners Of vessels are not 10 be baked OF
their prey. II the British flag Will not suit
their purpose any other flag VIII do. Cana
dams who have gone 10 the expense OF lit
ting cut vessels are not averSe 10 sailing
under German or Italian colOrS, anu they
are hopeful that as Germany and Italy are
not partners 10 the arbitration agreement
and the arrangements to protect the seals,
they viii not be moleSied. The orders to
the war vessels are to seize Amer
lean or British sealeTs. and the queS-
tion is whether vessels flying other eolors
viii be seized. Should the arbitrator give
a decision in favor of the United States
Great Britain is bound to respect 1t. but
other nations are not parties TO the proceed
ing and might object TO give their assent
There is possibility, therefore, of internal
ti0nal issues again arising for decision
The probability lies, however, rather in
the direction Of acQaleseence IN what IS
decided, for no other power could hope to
make better ease against the L nlted States
than Great Britain, and would hardly go to
war to sustain its claim. In the event of
the award being in our favor the United
States would not hesitate 10 adopt the
strongest measures necessary TO uphold our
position against any country.
Mr.. EnIoe, chairman Of the pension In
Yestigation committee, clearly forgot him
self yesterday and made use Of language un-
becoming a public man acting in public
capacity. You are llar!" he said to Mr..
Raum in a moment of passion, and he
IuSNtu dL nun Will the luLbUtlOu OF lHulCl-
Ing summary personal castigstion. But for
the interference of friends in restraining
the belligeTeut chairman, there would have
been a conflict in which the descriptive
writer rather than the shorthand reporter
would have been of value in preserving the
record. Mr.. EnlOe Is probably sorry that
he Stgmatized the Commissioner in the
plain-spoken manner Of calling a spade
spade. he could have found some less
dramatic way of Estimating what he thought
of Raun's testimony.
The surnise that Queen Victoria's visit
to DarmStadt is partly for the purpose of
arranging royal marriages may be near the
truth. Ii is suggested that Prince George
of Wales is 10 wed the Princess A lice of
Hesse-his cousin. This is a much more
likely match than the one which was limited
al the other day, namely, that his Royal
Highness was TO espouse the Princess May.
But there is little positive knowledge Of
these august engagements until reports are
authorized. In the busy brain of the for
eign correspondent any movement OF royal
peTSOnages becomes theme for ingenious
speculation. A little pain may be caused
here and there by egregions blundering. but
in the main no harm comes from gossip
about court alliances.
