MAKING GAME OF THE POLICE.
Paris. March 1s.-The Anarchists seem 10
be playing with the authorities ana ENJOYING
the terror of tho public. While the police
search goes on cartridges Of dynamite
ara distributed IN places where least
suspected and where there could be
no nossible motive except to spread and in
flame the general feeling of fear among clti-
zens From this c. urse Of the unknown dis
turbers the police have got the impression
that the dynamite outrages have been and are
the work of mischef-makers rather than Of
any organized association Of extremists with
a political object in view. and the mischief
makers delight in the fear and Apprehension
which they excite Just as people with an IN
cendiary mania sometimes set fire TO buildings
from a similar motive.
