PARIS March 10. 1t Is very evident
that the anarchists, or whoever II was
who stole the dynamite cartridges from
the Seine uuarries, are endeavoring TO
innuguratc reign of terror in this city,
and, to Judge from the CONSERVATION
that prevails in certain quarters, it is
also evident that they are succeeding,
II does not, of course, follow that all
the explosions that have recently oc-
cnrred were caused by these stolen
cartridges, but there is no doubt that
the anarchists have large quantity Of
dynamite that the police in their raids
have not succeeding In capturing.
At LES o'clock this morning a terrific
explosion occurred at the Lobau bar
racks, occupie by the "Repubican
guard adjoining the Hotel de Vile,
In moment scene OF the widest ex-
citement prevailed. The barracks are
occupied by 500 guards, but they were
not all in the building There We're,
however, large mum Der Of people in
the barracks. Suddenly awakened by
the tremendous roar aud shock that
seemed t. threaten the demolition Of
the structure, the men sprang through
the windows thinking that any mo-
ment the walls would come toppling
down upon them.
The people who were In the streets at
that early hour fastened TO the scene,
and the streets in the vicinity were
soon filed with an excited crowd The
police Mt once began an investigation
and soon learned that a dynamite car
fridge had been placed upon the ledge
OF window Of the mess room, which
is on the ground flour OF the barracks.
Pieces OF the copper casing OF the
cartridge and bits Of a fuse were found
and these explained the methods the
miscreants had employed. BY the
greatest good luck all the guards es-
capped without injury, and the only
harm done was to the barracks and the
buildings in the vicinity. Hundreds OF
windows were shattered and the walls
OF the barracks and other buildings
bear traces of the explosi IN.
Experts have been examining the
fragments OF copper found by the po-
lice and their investigation leads to the
belief that the she'll used was one Of
the melinite cartridges used by the
army, but that the melinite had been
removed and the she'll filed with
specially prepared powder
A cabinet council was held this after
noon at which President Carnot signed
a bill introducing a clause in the penal
code making the wilful destruction OF
property by means OF explosives pun
ishable with death This clause will
be introduced in the chamber OF depu-
ties this afternoon.
The frequency OF anarchistic out
RACES OF late has caused general feel
ing OF consterpation in Paris. 1t is be-
lieved that the anarchists will gain
courage from their immunity from ar
rest. for the police have not succeeded
in detecting the authors OF any of the
explosions. and serious apprehension is
felt regarding the action they may take
on May day.

INVESTIGATING TRUSTS.


Representative Of the Department Of
Justice Expresses Himself ON the sub
Ject.
CHICAGO, March "A. Charles NJ Hor-
ton, Of the department OF justice AZ
Washington. returned from Minneap-
oils, via Kansas City and 81 Louis.
where he has been investigating the
cordage trust lie went there to in
yestigate a compia aint that the state
officials OF Minnesota we're uua-
BILE by reason Of the cordnge
trust manipu ations TO procure ma
chlnery for making binding twine ia
the state penitentiary at saltwater.
He says he found the complaint well
founded; that John Good, the New
York manufactures Of binding twine
machines, was in the power of the
trust and could sell 10 no one outside
of IT, The state officials, balked in
this direction, consulted the cordage
trust and were informed that they
could have the machines II the state
would give a bond Of 5000, 900 to
indemnify the trust against loss
by reason of the manufacture
OF twlne in the penlten-
tiary. So the state has been COM
PEELED to use an inferior, old-style ma
chine, making the output so small that
II cannot affect the market Mr. Hor-
ton says he cannot even learn the price
charged for twine by the trust He de-
clnres it controls the entire output of
sisal and MANILA, but has so guarded
everything that he does not believe
that sufficient evidence can be got to
Justify an indictment
Mr., Horton says that certain facts in
regard TO the alleged dressed beef COM
bine and the so-called biscuit trust
have been laid before him and that he
proposes to investigate them. The
charge against the big Three" packers,
Armour, Swift and Morris, is that they
control the dressed business of
the country, fix the prices for cattle on
the hoof and compel wholesale butchers
to buy of them or go out of the busi-
ness by establishing competing houses
in their territory.

A BIG STRIKE.
Thousands OF English Coal Miners stopped
Work.

Work.
LONDON, March IA The great coal
miners strike was begun to-day in ac-
cordance with the plan of the miners
federation, which. in its manifesto
issucl few days ago declared
that the holiday the men pro-
posed to take was for the pur.
pose of clearing the markets of the
surplus coal and for restricting the
output, in order to prevent the masters
from using the low prices as an excuse
for lowering wages
At o'clock this afternoon the men
employed in the mines in Lancashire,
Cheshire and Yorkshire stopped work,
and the ponies were removed from the
pits The only men now at work are
the surface men, bumpers AMI ventila
tor attendants, whom the federation
has not called out Mining has COM
pletely stopped. 1t was hoped until
to-day that some sort OF a compro-
mise would lie arrived at but
no agreement could be reache !,
and the strange spectacle presents
itself of the employees quitting work in
the masters interests, for it cannot be
denied that il any advantage is to be
derived from higher prices the mine
owners as compared with the miners
will reap the greater portion.
The 10000 miners in Nottingham
quit work at noon to-day. When they
came out of the pits they brought their
tools with them.
The coal outputin the Bristol district
already mined is nearly exhausted.
n result the price OF coal has gone up
four shillings. Many manufacturers
refuse to pay the price demanded and
have closed their factories In this re-
spect the action OF the miners is work.

LAND sHARPERs.

sharks Reaping Harvest nt the Expense
OF Old Soldiers The hwlndling scheme
Coming 20 Light
WASHINGTON, March IS. ~ Letters
from old soldiers In regard TO the Chey-
enne and Arapahoe lands are pouring
In upon Missouri and Kansas Congress-
men. They show that unserupulous
persons are reapng a great harvest at
the expense Of The veterans The lat
ter are being led to believe that by
giving a power OF attorney and fee
Of $50, or thereabouts, they can
have fled for them a declaratory
statement which will entitle them
to enter 100 acres OF this Chey-
enne and Arapahoc land any time
within six months. From the mum Der
of letters received here by congress-
men within the past few weeks IL looks
as II this new trick had been Played
upon hundreds II not thousands Of old
soldiers in the southwestern states,
Said Missouri congressman: ''No
such declaratory statements can DO
filed now The Cheyenne and Arapa-
hoe lands have not been allotted, much
less thrown open to settlement The
acceptance of these fees on the under
standing that the statements can be
filed now is a great fraud
Many of the letters which have como
are evidently inspired from a common
source They are ia identically the
same form, and call attention to the
following clause in the Harvey b IL
pending for the opening Of the Chey-
enne and Arapahoe reservations: "And
personal settlement on said Cheyenne
and Arapahoe reservations shall be a
condition precedent TO entry thereon
at the proper land Office, and each set
tier upon any of said reservations shall
be allowed period of six months after
the settlement thereon in which to
make such fling"
The writer's then go on to say that
this will practically repeal the United
States statute which allows old soldiers
TO file declaratory statements through
an agent and have six months TO make
entry upon the land. In other words,
the Harvey bill stands in the way of
the persons who are gathering in the
$50 bills right and left in Missouri and
Kansas and promising to file declara-
tory statements Us agents for the old
soldiers.

CHARGED TO oARzA.

Two Bodies Found Hanging Near the Mcx-
lean Line-Supposed to Have Been the
Work OF GarEa's Men.
LAREDO, Tex, March IS. A McNican
came into Laredo and reported ghast-
ly find to the authorities lie says at
on last Monday while engaged in cut
ting grass not far from El Patio ranch,
in Ensinal county, he came suddenly
upon the body OF a man hang
ing to the limb OF mesquite.
The body was that OF a MeXi an,
about 80 years old, and apparently
had not been hanging more than
twenty hours The rope used was a
small grass rope, which was well Sc
cured 10 the limb On the ground not
far from the body were several empty
Winchester cartridges. The locality is
a wild and unsettled stretch OF country
and several miles from the nearest
ranch. The reason given by the Mexi-
can why he had not reported the mat
ter was that his master was absent
from the ranch and he could not leave.
The relation Of this find had hardly v
been made when another reported the
finding Of another body hanging not
many miles from where the first one
was located sheriff Benavides sent
out Immediately a deputy sheriff to in-
vestigate the affair. There is no clew
vet as to whom these lawless acts are
to be attributed, though there is an
opinion expressed that these hangings
are the deeds Of Garza's men. who thus
seek revenge upon those Mexicans
whom they suspect OF having aided and
abetted the United States troops in
hunting down Garza's revolutionists.
