FRANCE AND THE ANARCHISTS
Boisserin Attacks the Groups in Fa-

Paris, July 17.-The floor and galleries
of the Chamber of Deputies were crowded
to-day when M. Boisserin, radical, as
cended the tribune to speak against the
governments anti-anarchist bill. The
speech was one of the most remarkable
addresses that has been de-
livered in the chamber in many a
day, and was chiefly notable in
its scathinR arraignment of the various
groups in favor of the bill as having con
tributed to the situation which the mea-
sure is designed to remedy. The bill,
he declared, was a retrograde measure
and more tyrannical in its provisions than
any law enacted under the monarchy or
the empire. He denounced the parties of
the right and center and the socialists,
the former for their connection with the
Panama scandals, and the socialists for
their teachings, and declared that all Of
them, each party in its peculiar way, had
contributed to the spread of the spirit of
anarchy.

and for a time the tumult was so great
that he was unable to make himself

Order being restored, NJ Boisserin
made an attack upon the republican gov
ernment, which, he declared, had neglec-
ted to introduce and advocate legislation
favorable TO the masses. He concluded
by heaping reproaches upon the Depuy
ministry. When President Carnots
body was brought from Lyons to Paris,
he said, it was to their everlasting shame
that not a member of the ministry ex-
cept NJ. Lepine was at the sta
tion TO meet 1t, and with the
exception Of few Of tho municipal po-
lice no person in authority was present.
The cabinet had no time TO devote 20
doing honor 10 the memory Of the dead
President; since they were at that time
busily engaged In intriguing for the office
made vacant By his death.
Al the conclusion Of the speech the ex-
citement In the cham Der was intense and
the uprOar prolonged.

customary to send the dynamite and
other explosives in boxes to No 8 and

Birmingham, Ala, July IA good
deal of excitement of a quiet kind has
been aroused in political circles here In
Alabama, by the coming home Of Con-
gresham benson of the Seventh
district. The Kolb leaders have been
setting up claims TO him, and
the democrats have been uneasy.
He disappointed both in his opening
speech at Cullman by ignoring state poll
tics altogether, defending his record as
purely and soundly democratic, and in
dorsing Gov. Jones' efforts to preserve
law and order. In short, Col. benson is
here canvassing his district in his own
interest and emphatically ''totingp his
own skillet. He went far enough on gen.
eral party lines TO urge the people to
stand by the democrats. The whole state
is watching his course with great in-
terest.

weeks of. Mr.. benson was also
asked to deny publicly the statement
from the national populist committee that
he had agreed to make speeches for that
party, but refused TO do So Privately he
said 1t was a lie, and that his democracy
could not be questioned. His speech was
received by the populists as for Kolb,
and was a surprise and disappointment to

and intimates that If they control the

The Tendency of Prices Was Downward- 1Irx. A.. Ax4i

The Tendency of Prices Was Downward '' Sugar Was the Most Active Stock.
 New York, June 2S.-The tendency of prices at the stock exchange was down. ward to-day, the. big strike against the Pullman Palase~ Car company, involv- ing as it does nearly the entire railway system of the west, and the unfavorable May reports ofs the Pennsylvania, Erie and Reading companies, having created more bearish feeling. London to-day changed front and sold some of the stocks bought during the last few days. The sales fot, Foreign account are esti-, mated at from five to seven thousand shares and inclnded St. Paul, Louisville and Nashville, ,Atchison and Union Pa cific :.
 The refusal of the governing commit tee of the stock exchange to list the Northern Pacifice consol 5s at the re- quest of the Adams committee had no influence on the securities of thescom- pany, for that the decision was qualified by the empowering of the stock list committee to admit the receipts to deal ings when majority of the bonds are deposited with the Adams party. The stock list committee decided a week ago to list the receipts, but the governing committee yesterday did not approve of the decision.
 While the bears or the general list had the advantage to-day they were not aggressive by any means. The drop m sterling exchange, nearly wiping out the small profit on gold shipments, ought to put an end to the export move n1ent at once and rob the bears of one of their main arguments.
 As usual of late, Sugar was the most active stock, and after rising % to 102h, fell to Ssk and rallied to 1O0%@1OO. The decline was due to realizations.
 In the railway list the grangers, Union Pacific Louisville and Nashville declined 4 to 1A per cent. Speculation left off weak with prices anywhere from Y to 1h per cent. below yesterdays finals, Whiskey gained 4 and Manhat- tan 1A.
