FRENCH ANARCHISTS.

PARIS, April 6.-Pars has not yet ceased
To discuss the Anarchist question, which
shows to what extent interest has been eX-
cited on the subject Some comment has
been made upon the release yesterday of
Matthew, who was arrested on the charge
of being an accomplice of Ravachol. The
police sought in every way TO secure EVIL
dence connecting him with one or all of
the explosions OF which Ravachol has con-
fessed that he was the author, but their
investigations only went 10 prove that he
was not implicated in any way in these
outrages. The evidence thus far obtained
by the authorities fails to connect lie
Bastard and Chaumartine, who are also in
custody or suspicion of completely in the
recent outrages, and it is expected that
they, too, will shortly be released.
notwithstanding the extra precautions
to prevent any further repetitions of dyna-
mite explosions the Anarchists do not
seem to find much trouble in pursuing
their nefarious work wherever they are so
disposed. The latest scene of their activi-
ty is Anglers, capital of the department of
Maine ct Loire. This city is the seat of
numerous industries, and as consequence
the Anarchists theories find many sup
porters among the working classes. Last
night or at an early hour this morning q
dynamite bomb was quietly placed upon
Che windowslll of the police station. The
fuse was lighted and the Anarchists with
drew. A fash and tremendous ex-
plosion that caused momentary consterna-
tion in the neighborhood followed Every
pane of glass in the windows of the polics
station and adjoining houses was shatter-
cd and the station itself was badly damag-
sd. One policeman in the building was
injured There is absolutely no clue TO
the perpetrators OF the outrage.

ANTHONY NOTES.

ANTHONY, Kan, Apir Especial. l.
Mr. j. D. Barker, candidate for governor
from Crawford county, was in Anthony
last Monday getting acquainted with the
Republicans. He made quite favorable
impression upoa our people, but it will
take long time for a man to gain the
confidence of the people that Hon. II. NJ.
Murdoek had prior to his withdrawal
for the governorship, aud now, for that
matter.
c. Lund of Harper was tried in the dis
trict court this week for selling intoxicat-
ing liquors in the city of Harper without
permit. He was yesterday found guilty
on two counts, and is now resting in the
county Jail He was tried last week for
the same offense, but the jury failed to
convict, and new trial was had, with the
above result.
The city election was very quiet yester-
day, and light vote was polled. Less
than twenty-five women voted The fol-
lowing officers were elected: For justice
of the peace, W. Il. Rowell, for council
nen-frst ward, A Jameson: second
ward, c. 5. Poole; third ward, NJ. d. Lee;
fourth ward, f. z. Carrithers. Five mem
bers for the board of education were also
elected
Crops Of all kinds are looking fine in this
portion of Kansas.
Several new buildings are being erected
and additions being put on to others in
this city. Business is growing better every
day, and prosperity and good feeling pre-
vail among the people.

! cold would naturally be the least deserv-
| ing of the men, and these are of course the
| very class that are most bitterly opposed
| to giving in. Many of the mines VIII re-
quire almost pumping out before they can
be operated Others will require an equal
| length of time for proper ventilation.
There were all along men enough to stand
| by the machinery and keep the mines IN
condition during the strike, but these faith
full fellows were intimidated and assaulted
until they were obliged 10 abandon the
mines One of the most recent instances
of this coercion occurred yesterday at the
Castle Eden coiliery. Matthew Stephen
son, who had volunteered to tend the
pumps and had stuck to them despite var
ious assaults and threats, was informed
that his cottage had been blown up. Hur-
rying home he found that an Internal
machine of some sort had exploded in his
little dwelling, smashing the windows and
furniture aDdlfrightening his wife and chill
dren almost into fits. Stevenson appealed
to the officers, but no arrests have yet been
made
The iron-workers and others who are
kept idle by the prolongation of what is
generally regarded as an unreasonable
strike are entirely out Of sympathy with
the striking miners aud are getting into an
ugly mood. 1t would not be at all sur
prising if collisions should take place SOON
who are responsible for their loss of enl-
ployment. One of the most noticeable
features of the strike is that the wives
and families of the strikers, despite the
sufferings to which they are subjected by
the idleness of their bread winners, are
the strongest opponents of surrender.
The day of submission, however. can not
be much longer delayed, as the case of the
men is hopeless. Meanwhile, trade is
more and more depressed
The town council of Hartlepool held an
emergency meeting last night to discuss
measures for abating the prevailing dis
tress. 1t was shown that thousands OF
destitute people were clamoring for relief
The call for work or bread was heard on
every side, mingled with children's cries
of hunger. The lists which have been
prepared by the municipal officers showed
that in addition TO the ordinary number OF
persons seeking relief there were now 800
families in Hartlepooi who had never oeen

support, who were without fuel or food
1t WAS resolved to establish relief works at

worthy sufferers until the strike shall have |
