Martin for Senator was read with great
surprise and is the subject of gossip
here to-day. A great deal of money
was lost on the result. the Lee people
offering five to one just before the eau

said men who were pledged to Lee and
were instructed for him voted for Mar
tin. Richmond is disappointed and the
people are asking for the recorded vote
which, by request of the caucus, was not
published. Martins friends are Of
course jubilant. General Lee accepts
the result cheerfully.
A prominent democrat says "Gen
Lees defeat is the result of the expendi'
ture of money contributed for the
campaign fund by railroad companies
and distributed by their employees di'
rectly in the interest of Mr.. Martin,
who is a railroad attorney" General
Lee will remain in the city several
days.

Arrest of Anarchists.

MADRID, Dec. S.-The police have
made raid upon houses suspected OF
being occupied by anarchists at Mesina
de Rio Seco and secured a number of
documents. The discovery of the doc
uments confirms the suspicion that
there is widespread movement to
spread the anarchist propaganda by
means of dynamite and other outrages.
The society at Mesina de Rio Seco had
over eighty members, all of whom are
sworn to secrecy by the most solemn
oaths. Even the ritual employed in
the initiation of members is in the
hands of the authorities. The most
important arrest growing out of the
discovery is that of Tomas Altet, on
the charge that he was the author of
the recent dynamite outrage at VILLAIN
uevay la Geltru. The police so work

Uses of reward that he weakened and
gave the names of all his associates and
the police speedily placed under arrest
a number of them.

Mr.. Talbert (dem.,S c. introduced a
resolution setting forth the delays and

the democratic party came into power,
and calling upon the ways and means
committee to at once bring in revised

The bill was reported to the House
from the committee on the whole and
Mr.. Bland sought to secure concurrence
in the committees action in striking
out the enacting clause. Meanwhile
Mr.. Cannon got the floor and pleaded
for further consideration of the bill in

Bland moved that the committee Of the
