NEST OF ANARCHISTS !: DISCOVERED.
They Had Their Headquarters Nea
Aigiers.
BIZ cable to the United Press.

By Gable to the United Press.
LONDON. Nov. %, 1S9S.-A despatch to
the Globe from Algiers says that the police
there recently learned that Anarchists
were using that city and surrounding
villages as bases for spreading their per-
nicious doctrines. A close search was
made, and after time 1t was learned that
the headquarters of the organization was
located at Mustapha, suburb of Algiers.
The meeting place of the conspirators was
soon unearthed and the police made q raid
upon 1t. The occupants had received q
warning and had fed, but had been COM
behind them. The police secured large
number of pamphlets and documents, a
perusal OF which revealed the fact that
the Anarchists were engaged In a wide
spread conspiracy. 1t was CLEANED from
the documents that the gang had branch
organization at the village of Husserndey,
and search was made there. The police
located the nest of outlaws and made a
most important haul of dangerous ma
terial. Several loaded bombs of the most
dangerous kind were found. together with
large quantity of dynamite and other
explosives. All the explosive material
was removed to the arsenal in Algiers,
where experts analyzsd it.
The discovery has caused great excite>
ment in the city, and the residents demand
that the authorities drive every Anarchist
and person suspected OF anarchistic ten
denotes out of the place.
Threats have frequently been made to
blow up the French Courts and also the
Mosque, in which Moorish and Arab civil
cases are heard. Little attention was paid
to them, as it was thought that they were
only the vaporings of the dissolute and
discontented classes The police, how
ever, were spurred to extra vigilance by
orders from the French Government fol-
lowing the Barcelona and Marseilles out
RACES. and they soon obtained q clue to
the gang of Anarchists working in this
neighborhood. No arrests have yet been
| made. as the men sought for are in hiding,
but an active search for them is in pro-
gress. Extra guards will be stationed
about all the public buildings.

WHAT FENCING DOES FOR ACTORS.

AT the American Academy OF Dramatic
Arts. which is training school for young
actors and actresses. it was my pleasant
duty last winter TO teach fencing, which

who had passed much time IN edu-
eating themselves physically; some c ,uld
execute many different dances, some
had had good gymnasric trainiog, aud
others had played tennis. ETC.; but when
beginning to fence (an exercise that is all

was simply this; they had never applied
