AFTER THE ANARoHIsTs.

Plans Being Perfected for Their Squeleh-
inE-InternRtional Cooperation Ta-
TOred.
LONDON, Nov. 26.-Au important
question occupying the attention of the
several European cabinets this week is
whether the time has come for interna-
tional cooperation against anarchists.
Practical steps in this direction will
probably be taken soon, but it is
doubtful if the measures adopted will
take the shape Of a formal agreement
between the powers.
The Paris project Of police suggests
the best reason for not giving treaty
recognition to the evil. He recently
forbade furnishing pictures of notorious
anarchists from the official files to news
papers, because such fostering to the
vanity OF the despised creatures was the
greatest possible incentive to the execu-
ton OF their murderous plans.
A craving for notority before the
world he regards as the main spring OF
their activity. Nothing would crafty
the secret souls Of these towards more
than to see their hateful order dignitied
by the solemn official ban OF all Europe.
The opportunity to shriek persecution
and proclaim defiance by fresh out
RACES would surely be seized upon.
There has long been a working ar
rangement between the chiefs OF police
in European capitals. 1t provides for
an exchange Of information by mail and
wire, reciprocal detective work, ETC.,
the plans for complete secret reciprocity
being matured by agents Of the French
police now in Rome, Vienna, Berlin,
Madrid, London and St Petersburg,
For this purpose a complete interna-
tional blacklist will be kept and the
force Of secret agents and spies will be
increased in all countries.
Precautions have been doubled in
London. The Anarchist colony hero
has now increased fully 1000. The
secret police do not conceal the belief
that fresh outrages are plotting, and it
is by no means sure that they will not
be attempted In London. The explosion
Of single bomb in England would be
quite sufficient 10 cause outraged public
opinion TO force the government to
purge the country of these vile vermiR.

The Internal Revenue Commissioner
Gives the Annual Record of His Bureau.
WASHINGTON. D. G.. Nov. 26.-&r.
Joseph Miller, the commissioner OF in-
tcrnal revenue, has submitted to Sec
retary Carlisle this report Of the opera
tions OF the bureau Tor the fiscal year
ended Juno so, 1898, and also certain
additional information relating to the
collections made and work performed
during the frst three months Of the
current fiscal year.
It is q long document Of over 200
printed pages and includes number OF
tables containing much statistical in
formation on the operations OF the bu-
reau, some Of which date back for thir-
ty years. The report shows that the
receipts from all sources OF internal rev.
enue have increased from Sii6,9o2, $3.50
for tho fiscal year OF 1886 to Sl6l, ,0O4, $50
in 1898. The estimates OF the
last commissioner OF internal revenue
were that the receipts of 1898 would
reach Sl65, 100000, but, owing to the
general business depression, MIR. Miller
says, this amount was not realized. de
estimates that the receipts for the tiscal
year will be $3.50, 100000.

RIOTS ON THE IEHIGH.

Violence Resorted to by the strikers-The
Governor to bo Called on for tho State
Troops.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 26.-A Will
kesbarre, Pa, special says: At mid
night violence is reported all along the
line of the Lehigh Valley railroad. AT
Sugar Notch mob attacked the station
and drove the non-union operator from
the premises.
The station has been abandoned for
the time being. Burgess Shields, Of
Sugar Notch, has notified Sheriff Wal
ters that he is not in position to pre-
serve the public peace.
At Warrior Run freight brakemen
were stoned and thinking their lives
were In danger. deserted the trains.
The teleeraphers between this city and
White City have not left their Offices
this evening.
Sheriff Walters will swear in fifty
deputies tomorrow and station them in
the Coxtown yards. Colonel Keck, Of
the ninth regiment n. g. P, says he has
received no word from Harrisburg as
yet to move his regiment
It's now clear the sheri6s in the
various counties cannot protect the
company's property, and it is generally
admitted that the governor will have to
call out the state troops.

PARIS, Nov. 26.-It was semi-ohsially
announced to-day that NJ. Casimir-Perier,
president OF tho chamber ofdeputies, who
was summoned by President Carnot
shortly after the resignation of the
cabinet, has informed NJ. Carnot that
he has irrevocably decided not to form
a cabinet, and that he has advised the
president to appeal to the public spirit
OF ex-Premier Dupuy, who, in the
opinion OF NJ. Casimir-Perier, might be
prevailed upon to form a cabinet.
1t is added that President Carnot
thereupon summoned NJ. Dupuy, who
declared that he did not consider him
self to be in a position to acquit HIM
self Of such a task, and, therefore. he
respectfully declined to undertake the
formation OF the new cabinet.
Later President Carnotsnmmoned NJ.
Meline and thoroughly discussed the
situation with the last mentioned gen.
tleman, who represents the department
OF the VosGes in the chamber OF depu-
ties, and who has already filed the po-
sition of minister OF agriculture, as we'll
as other important positions under the
French government. To NJ. Meline,
the president entrusted the delicate
mission OF endeavoring to perauade NJ.
Casimir- Perier or NJ. Dupuyto reconsid-
er their decisions not to undertake the
reconstruction OF the French cabinet,
but 1t is Understood NJ. Casinlir-Perier
emphatically declined to ba persuaded
to undertake the difficult task proposed
to him and 1t is added, that Meline met
with an equally firm refusal from NJ.
Dupuy.
After completing his unsuccessful
mission NJ. Meline this evening visited
President Carnot and informed him of
his failure to persuade NJ. Caaimir-
Perier or NJ. DupuY to change their
minds. 1t is said that the president
was somewhat disappointed at tho re-
suit OF the mission with which he had
entrusted NJ. Meline.
Late this evening it is reported that
President Carnot has summoned NJ.
Bourgeois, who was formerly minister Of
justice. in order to consult with him ~
to the formation of the new cabinet.
The socialist workmen's union gave q
punch" at the Mais en- Du Pale this
afternoon, in honor OF the socialist
deputies who were instrumental in
bringing about the resignation of the
French cabinet. The majority Of the
representatives of the socialist party,
including NJ. Jaures and NJ. Miller. and
the deputies who we're 30 prominent In
attacking the programme recently out
lined by NJ. Dupuy, were at the enter
tainmane
NJ. Jaures, who was loudly applauded,
made a speech. After affirming that
the socialists were moved by the spirit
Of patriotism, the speaker declared that
the fall OF the ministry was the hrst
victory for the sociaIistic parliamentary
group, and that it was an omen Of sue
cess for their future undertakings. The
socialists, N. Jaures added, knew that
q cabinet Of their own choice was i'm
possible, bnt they did not overthrow
ministers for the nero pleasure Of Gre
ating crisis. All they asked was
that the ministry should observe = be-
nevolent neutrality.

A Train Pulls In to Goshen with Eight
ON Roard-Foiled by BraYe Trainmen.


A Train Pulls In to Goshen with Eight
on Board--F0iled by Brave Trainmen.
GOSHEN, IND, Nov. 28.-The first sec
ton of train No. 60. the fast meat ex-
press between Chicago and New York,
pulled into this city last night with
eight desperate robbers on board. Be-
tween this city and Elkhart they had
made repeated efforts to uncouple a
number of cars with, it is believed, the
idea OF Wrecking the fast express train,
which passes here close behind the
meat train.
Train No. go pulled out OF Elkhart at
1923 this morning, with orders to run to
Ligonier without stopping. When it
had left Elkhart a milo behind the
train crew, which consisted Of Conduc-
tor John Hickok and two brakemen,
found that eight men were on the train,
having concealed themselves between
tho cars.
The fellows made an effort to uncou-
pie the last ten cars pi the train, but
their efforts were foiledRy the trainmen
after a hard fight. The crew, however,
we're not able to drive the men of the
train.
Five miles further another attempt to
uncouple the cars aud another fight &c.
suited which lasted until the train was
pulling into Goshen. Hickok and ono
OF the bFakemen were badly battered up
in the struggle.
The engineer blew Ills whistle for
help and IN q few minutes two officers
and crowd OF citizens were at the
train, but the robbers had made their
escape taking with them tho watches
OF the engineer, two brakemen and con.
ductor Hickok. They also secured a
small sum Of money from each Of the
trainmen.
Later in the night a man giving the
name Of Henry Zimmerman was ar
rested, and in his shoe was found 81,
the amount taken from one Of the
braksmen. William Como was also
taken iuto custody, after making hard
fight, and Sl2, taken from Conductor
Hickok, was found upon him.
Zimmerman claims to be a resident Of
KendRllville, Ind, and Cone Of Benton
Harbor, Mich. The contradicting
stories told by the former, all OF which
have been proven false, are practically
enough to convict him.

An Indiana Man Kills Hts Wife, Three
Children and HimSOlf-Cold Brutality
CharaetOrizeS the Deed.
sEYMouR, IND, Nov. 26,-News has
lust been received here from Carothera-
vile, village ten miles south Of here,
that Uniontown, an adjoining village,
last night furnished a quadruple MUIR
der, followed by suicide. It is atated
that John Foster. q well-to-do but er-
ratio farmer OF Uniontown, in fit Of
temporary insanity killed his wife and
their three children with revolver
and then blew out his own brains.
Foster has always been regarded by his
fellow villagers as little weak-minded
and queer. He has frequently had
trouble with his wife, and several years
ago they separated. Recently recon-
Citation was effected and Foster re-
turned to his family.
There was no witness to the terrible
affair, but the position oi the bodies
point to the fact that the wife was the
first to meet her fate. She was shot
through the back of the head. The
children wore found dead in the next
room, and from their position had evil
dently been aroused from peaceful
slumbers by the shot that robbed them
Of their mother. The oldest child, q
boy, was found with hands clasped as if
IN the attitude Of prayer for his life aud
the lives of his little brother and sister.
He was shot through the heart as we're
the other TWO children. The father,
after taking the lives Of the little ones,
returned to the dead body OF his wife,
and placing the pistol to his forehead
completed his tiendish work.
The shots startled the usually peace
full community and several men hurried
to the scene Of the tragedy. The sight
that met their gaze was appalling and
physicians were sent for at once. The
last sign OF life had passed from the
bodies Of the entire family before q
physician arrived on the scene. The
floor OF the house was one pool Of
blood. The entire community for
miles around visited the scene of the
tragedy last night and gazed upon the
fiendish work Of Foster.

MADRID, Nov. 26.-The negative re-
suit of the conference at Melilla between
General Marcias and Muley Araaf, the
sultan's brother, has nearly led to .
cabinet crisis.
The cabinet met late yesterday even
ing and all the ministers present were
pledged to secrecy. In spiteI OF this
pledge it has transpired that the minis
ter OF finance, Senior Gamaz, declared
that if the minister OF war declared that
it was impossible to Immediately COM
mence active operations against the
Moors, which we're clearly demanded by
the circumstances as we'll as by public
opinion, it was evident that the minis
try ought to resign, as it could not con-
tinue an uudecisive policy without dam
GER This statement caused profound
impression among the ministers, aud
for a time, it is said, there was danger
OF tho ministry adopting the suggestion
OF the minister Of finance aud handing
ia Its resignation.

tho vague character OF the department
organization, which, he says, "offers
opulent opportunities for the exercise
Of the most pronounced paternalism,"
but he adds that there arc many proper
ways in which the federal government
may legitimately serve the cause OF
agriculture. He devotes considerable
space to review of what he regards
as an anomalous partnership between
the government Of the United States
and the government Of the respective
states for the conduct and encourage
ment Of state agricultural colleges and
ex xperiment stations. Referring to the
sum appropriated for the use Of state
experiment stations he says: "This 40.
preparation is unlike any other public
moneys legislated out OF the treasury
because there is no officer OF the
United States authorized to direct,
limit, control or audit its itemized ex-
pendisure."
He suggests that the stations should
be entirely divorced from the depart
mentand thes sum appropriated charged
directly to them, or that tho secretary
should have some power to direct and
restrain their disbursements go as to in
sure legitimate expenditure OF the
same. He adds that in view of rumors
that have obtained credence in some OF
the states and territories to the effect
that money Appropriated to the sta
tions have been diverted from their le-
climate public purposes, thorough
investigation should be made to dem
onstrate either the truth or falsity Of
such reports.

FREE TRADE TALK.

The work OF the other divisions ls re-
viewed in detail, but briefly and with
out extended argument. The question
of forestry comes in for some special
attention, and urgent recommendations
are made for more thorough and ex-
tended effort on its behalf.
OF the weather bureau it is reported
that the work has been carried on with
improved efficiency and economy, a re-
duction in cost OF maintenance OF nearly
10 per cent being effected, the estimates
with the fiscal year being correspond
ingly reduced. A reorganization OF the
bureau has been partially effected, de-
signed to modify expenses and magnify
the value OF the service to agriculture,
commerce and the people at large.
Reviewing with some detail our agri-
cultural exports and their destination,
an earnest plea is made for the di-
versifcation OF agricultural exports and
the widening OF foreign markets there
for. ave want free entrance to all the
countries OF the globe while it is in our
power to supply them with any product
the varied soil and climate OF this vast
country will enable us TO grow at
profit"
Referring to the possibility that the
virtual closing OF markets for American
products in some parts Of the old world
must be due to the high tariff duties
upon all products that foreigners desire
to sell in our own markets, he says the
question Is presented once more to the
American mind. "Can auV country shut
out the commodities and products OF
other nations without shutting in q
value equal to the things shut out"
st"Hides, fruits, nuts and wine," says
the secretary, "eould all be produced
in this country, so, with considerable
share OF the fibros, tobacco and sugar,
our farmers would be benefited by q
large number oil subsidiary crops, the
over-production OF certain staples
avoided, the variety Of our agriculture,
supplies to foreign markets increased,
and the markets themselves multiplied.

In reference to expenditures, the sec
retary states that his strenuous en-
deavor, in view OF depleted public
treasury and OF the imperative demands
OF taxpayers for economy in the ad-
ministration OF the government, has
been to "rationally reduce expenditures
by the elimination from the pay rolls Of
all persons not needed for an efficient
conduct OF the affairs OF the depart
ment."
He gives the number OF employees
when ne took the charge as 2,497, and
states that there are now on the pay
rolls only 1904, reduction of sos.
He presents q table giving the appro-
priations for the current fiscal year and
his estimates for next year, showing n
net saving in his estimates over the ap-
preparations for the current year of
$3.50, ,656 81.
The work OF the bureau OF animal in
dustry is reviewed in considerable de-
tail, each one Of its principal features
being briefly considered. The result OF
the Texas fever regulations is pro-
nounced to be highly satisfactory; but
to increase their efficiency it is sug-
gested that penalty should attach for
violation OF the department regulations
by railroad companies transporting in
iected cattle.
Further recommendations in the
work of the bureau arc for the legisIa-
ton compelling the immediate destruc-
ton OF any animal condemned, for an
extension OF the work in regard to tu.
berculosis in cooperation with local au"
thorities until danger to human life has
been reduced to q minimum, and for q
civil service examination for inspectors
and assistant inspectors, with the re-
quirement OF diploma from a regular
