FRANCES ANARCHISTS.
The Explosion at the Prefecture Puts
Them in High Feather.

Them in High Feather.
PARIS, Dec 30.-It 10 doubtful whether
yesterdays explosion in the prefecture Of
police was the work Of anarchists or private
revenge of a discharged employe. What
ever the truth OF the matter is the anarchists
have taken advantage OF the occasion to
issue a manifesto couched in the usual fero-
cious style OF those documents The
wrongs of the people, fire, blood and dyna-
mite are commented upon at length, but the
substance Of the manifesto is that the
time has come for the people
to rise Ia their might and strike for free
dom. Striking for freedom in anarchist
style, however, is not apt to occur just at
present, as the police buildings are closely
guarded and out Of the way recesses are
carefully searched for hidden dynamite or
other bombs.
The Ect0tr to-day publishes an interview
with Louise Michel, the aged anarchist who
is now In London. She declared that she
did not know the authors Of
the explosion ab the prefeo-
good piece of work. She regretted that
higher officials had not been present when
the explosion occurred, as they might have
been killed. Their death she thought would
be blessing to the people. The Eclnir adds
that 1t Is the intention of Louise to go to
Chicago shortly to spread the anarchist
propaganda
PANIC IN GOVERNMENT CIRCLES.
There Is no doubt that the explosion at
the prefecture of police yesterday has
spread panic throughout government cir
cles and hos introduced an element OF grow
ing disoord In the cabinet. The governments
feels that not only the royslist and anarch-
ist leaders are joining hands 10
overthrow the government, but that
two or three ambitious men
with more cunning than the leaders OF
either party, are directing attacks, intended
to discredit the Ribot cabinet even In the
eyes Of republicans. The Vaccinations Of
these men are feared even more than are
those of avowed antagonists Of the republic.
The leader OF the coterie who plot TO over
throw the government In the house Of its
friends 10 NJ. Constans.
MEETING OF THE CABINET.
In the cabinet meeting to-day NJ Loubet,
who succeeded M. Constans In the depart
ment OF the interior, opposed strongly the
proposition of M. Bourgeois that the cabinet
should proceed to fight the anarchists tooth
and nail. The reason for his opposition
was that, however successful a campaign
against anarchists might be, it was bound
TO be accompanied by many explosions loss
Of life and another reign of terror like that
Of last April. In this event
designing men in the republican
regime and It's exceptional success in sup
pressing the anarchists by means of It's odious
system of espionage, a Constans cabinet
would inevitably be the result. This would
mean that the republic would be between
the Scylla of II consulate and the Charybdys
of legitism. M. Loubet is said to have gone
no further with mis- figure of speech, but its
meaning'is plain enough as 1t is.
THE ONE NAME ON EVERY LIP.
Since the explosion Of yesterday the name
Of NJ. Constans has been on many lips.
Should explosions continue, be would be the
man of che hour and all Paris would
turn TO him TO impiore safety which
the men now In power showed themselves
powerIess last spring to provide. So evil
dent is this that now as formerly M. Con-
stans is suspected OF having melted the
anarchist agitation In order that the logic of
oonsequens events might bring him again
TO power as the only possible savior Of
France FROM the red demon. Once
suggested, M. Constans would ler the
republic 60 co the dogs and
endeavor, il circumstances were favorable,
10 found O Constans dynasty. The royalists
and anarchists would undoubtedly provide
these circumstances. Ostensibly to save
the republic M. Constaps would probably
concentrate the whole power In the hands
of himsel: and bis coterie, and in the heat
OF battle against the royalists and anarch-
lists, would transform himself In
the popular eyes into second
Napoleon. From this point TO
dictatorship would be but step, for the
people have been 30 disguised with the
government corruption on one hand and
government supineness on the other, that
they are already inclined TO turn to any
body who has even an appearance OF In
tegrity and administrative power.
The anarchists have decided 20 join the
socialists, who have been reinforced also by
the Boulangists and possibilitists. All four
parties held meeting tonight IN Sale
streeE. The proceedings were conducted
with the utmost secrecy. This manifesto
was approved and issued:
TO the PeoDIe Of Pdrfs.
Upl Take TO the streets Forward DO not
trust TO the ballot; grapple with capitalists
Seize the bourgeosief Twist their necks until
they diei All isrottenl You alone have health
left.
The socialist members of the town coun-
oil have issued an appeal 90 the working
men 20 rise and demand revision OF the con-
stitution. They accuse the deputies OF
swindling and declare that the govern ment
must be purged by the workingmen Of the
nation.
