THE ANARCHISTS
OF Paris are stin Quite Safe From the
Police.


PARIS, March 2s.-The excitement
caused by the explosion yesterday at
the residence OF M. Bulot. at No. SO
Rue Clichy, has in no way abated. The
affair is discussed everywhere, and the
opinion gains strength that the au-
thorities have been to certain extent
lax in their watchfulness.
Parisians ask each other how long
this thing is going to be allowed to go
on unchecked. Some persons say that
the time is rapidly approaching when
the people will depend no longer upon
the police for protection, but will take
the law into their own hands and rid
the city of anarchists by hanging them
to the most convenient tree or pole that
presents itself.
Stringent orders have been given TO
the chiefs Of police TO take into Gus
tody any one whose actions or language
show that they are in sympathy with
the men who delight in calling them
selves "terrorists." 1t is the general
opinion that instead OF exciting terror,
the anarchists will arouse such wave
of Indignation that they will be them
selves the greatest sufferers
The author Of these dynamite ex-
plosions is said TO be a man named Ra-
vachol. Several OF his alleged accom-
plices have been arrested, but the police,
though 1t is claimed they are making
almost superhuman efforts TO capture
him, have not been able TO catch him.
Taking lesson from their American
contemporaries, the newspapers OF Paris
sent reporters to find him. One OF these
papers, the GdulOis, to-day publishes
an interview with Ravachol. who seems
to have been found without great diff
Guilty by the newspaper men. The In
terview was presumably obtained under
pledge not TO reveal the whereabouts
of the Anarchist leader to the police.
The only inkling given by the re-
porter was that he met Ravachol In a
cafe yesterday and had long conver-
sation with him. Ravachol declares
that the object OF the Anarchists was
to terrorize the judicial authorities, and
TO so work upon their fears as to pre-
vent them from condemnipg the men,
bers of the party who fall into the
clutches of the law. He said the An
archists had in their possession suiii-
Client quantity OF dynamite to blow up
the house of every French official.
The Figaro says that NJ. Glrard, an
expert in explosives, declares that mel
mite is the only article that would have
caused such destruction as is witnessed
in Rue Clnchy. This statement has
opened up wide field Of conjecture as
TO how the Anarchists, II they used mel
mite, learned the secret OF its compost
tiOn.
Several radical organs print sarcastic
articles concerning the outrages, de
claring that the police are utterly dis
organized.

Her Majesty's Government Replies After
n Consultation With the ottawa Govern
ment.
LONDON. March 2s.-Relative to the
! correspondence on tho Bering sea mat
/ ter, Lord Salisbury wrote to Sir Julian
| Pauncefote on March IS, as follows:-
Her Majesty's Government having con-
| suited with the Governor General of
| Canada with regard to the arguments in
| favor of the modus vivendi contained in
! Mr. Wharton's note of the eighth. The
necessity of referring the arguments TO
! Ottawa has caused the delay in returning
an answer. The information which has
| reached Her Maiesty's Government does
not lead them to believe that in order to
prevent the undue dimunition in the
number Of fur seals any necessity
| exists for the suspension of sealing for an
other year. Beyond this question, Iunder-
| stand that the government of the United
| States considers that should free sealing be
permitted this year and the United States
claim to jurisdiction in Bering Sea be up
held by the arbitrators, they have right
to be projected from the loss they suffer
by sealing operations.
| Her Majesty's government does not dis
| pute that there will be some foundation for
| this contention when the arbitration agree
in the prohibition of all sealing as RENE
DIV, that If the British contention be upheld
| by the arbitrators there may be ground for
| complaint on the part Of British sealers,
who will have been excluded from Bering
! Sea.
Further, no security exists that the ar
! bitratOrs will give their decision before the
/ sealing season of 1898 arrives. There has
! been arbitration pending for four years be-
! tween Great Britain and the United States
and Portugal and it is not yet approaching
| conclusion Serious damage will be
caused to the sealing industry by the sus-
! pension of hunting for long period. AS
/ more equitable arcangem: mt might it rot
/ be agreed that scaling vessels shall have
/ liberty 20 hunt in Bering Sea on condition
| that security be given by the owner of
! each vessel for a satisfactory award of the
! damages, if any, which the arbitrators may
] eventually pronounce.

BERLIN, March es.-Before the regu-
lar business OF the day was considered
in the lower house OF the Prussian Diet
to-day, Count Won Eulenburg, the new
iy appointed President OF the Prussian
Council, made statement In which bo
justified the separation OF the Imperial
Chancellorship from the Presidency Of
the Prussiau Ministry. He pointed out
that the burden OF work involved by tho
union OF the two posts was beyond the
powers OF one man.
Count Won Eulenburg said that In
view OF tho fact that the discussion OF
the Primay Education Bill had created
serious and hitherto unreconciled DIFF
ferences IN the Diet, and In committee.
and also in the country at large, aud as
not satisfactory result could be ex-
pected at present, the Government re-
Trained from insisting upon the further
consideration OF the bill, but the Gov
ernment reserved the right TO decide
when aud In what form the matter
would again be taken up without over
stepping the limits OF the constitution.
Count Won Eulenburg's statement
was received with mingled cheers and
hisscs by the members. Nearly all the
Ministers with the exception OF Chan.
cellor Won CaprIvi were present.

THE BERING SRA CASE.
Another Of Lord SaliSbury'S Notes
Has Been Made Public.
PRESIDENT HARRISON DISCUSSING
The Correspondence With Secretary Blaine and
Other Advisors With a View to Answering
Salisb1rys Latest COmmunieatOn-All the
Matter Laid Before Parliament.

WAsHINGroN, d. c., March 2s.-The
President devoted the entire morning TO
the consideration OF the Bering Sea
with view to forming an answer to
Lord SaliSbury's note 'of the Goth inst.
He had the benefit OF the advice of Sec
retary Blaine, Senator Sherman and
General Foster, who were in conference
with him on the subject for some time.
IL is understood the President is pleased
with Lord Salisbury's present attitude
and will accept his conditions for a
mOdus viendi.
1t is said on good authority that the
President and his Cabinet are well
pleased with the conciliatory tone OF
Lord Salisbury's note of the Goth inst,
especially as IL is held TO concede the
point that has been the principal cause
of contention; that is, u renewal OF
modus vivendi OF last year for the pro-
lection of seal fisheries.
This alleged concession is believed to
be implied in his proposition to agree
to modus in case the treaty OF arbitra-
tion is ratified under the condition that
each Government shall guarantee the
other for damages incurred through the
suspension of sealing operations.
One official, who has been consulted
by the President in regard to the nego-
tiations, said he was especially pleased
with Lord Salisbury's admission that
Great Britain would hold itself liable
for damages resulting to the United
States because Of the modus vivendi in
the event that the verdict OF the arbi-
traitors is adverse to its contention.
He said that taking it altogether,
Lord SalSbury's note is satisfactory as
indicating a good prospect for an AMIGA
BILE settlement Of the questions at issue.
Further correspondence will be neces-
sary to settle the method of determining
the character OF damage claims.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 2S.-In
the last Democratic caucus in which
the silver question was discussed,
Speaker Crisp announced that he as one
of the members OF the Committee on
Rules, would vote for no cloture reSolu-
tiOn unless requested to do so by ma
jority OF the Democratic members. That
decision has been reiterated privately
and to-day petition asking for the re-
port OF such a resolution has been in
circulation, but already thirty-6ve
known silver men have declined to affix
their signatures TO IL, and the anti-silver
men are jubilant.
Speaker Crisp was asked this morning
II the reports were true that the order
would not be brought in unless the ma
jority Of the Democrats signed the pc
tition.
He replied: THAT is my inclina-
ton"
''Then the silver bill will never be
brought to a vote?'
II don't know as that follows" said
the Speaker. They had two-thirds
majority Of the Democrats and may get
majority to sign the petition"
Mr.. Bland, Mr.. Pierce and other silver
men were seen. Mr.. Bland was
very downcast over the news that he
might not be able 10 force to vote the
measure that he has worked for so
long. He admitted that the report that
the report that the silver bill had met
with another set back and one which
practically meant its death without a
