various public buildings in the city and else

chists. The latest buildings threatened are the
stations of the Eastern Railway. Every pre-
caution has been taken to prevent the threats
being put into execution. Among the measures
adopted is examination of the baggage OF

and half miles northeast Of Paris. have taken
stringent precautions 70 guard the station there.
Pantin is a manufacturing town. and 1t is

there are the authors of the threatening letters
received. An Anarchist named Bouchet was
arrested in this city to-day.
