LONDON. Feb. ls.--The widely nn-
nounced meeting Of the Autonomic club,
under the auspices of the international
workers group, was attended by only II
persons, OF whom IL wero foreigners. The
speakers announced did not appear. After
waiting two hours. Gibbons of tho Com
monNcnl group made speech in which
he urged effort in rightiug wrongs, and
beId up Valiant, pAllas and other mar
tyrs as worthy OF emulation. Hundreds
were ready to sacrifice their lives IN tho
great cause. lie himself was perfectly
prepared to do SO. They had nothing to
live for, but were Simply the slaves of
capitalists. Speeches were useless, and
physical force was necessary. Whcn the
government and Asquiih abandoned the
making of maxim guns for use against
the people, the latter would rclinqujsh
the manufacture of dynamite bombs. He
advised workers TO read books upon
chemicals, which they would find in pub
lie Libraries, and learn the use OF chem
icals. Other speeches. in foreign lam
guages, were made and the audience
wildly cheered the sentiments of their
leaders. Many detectives III citizens
clothing were present.
Four thousand persons assembled in
Trafalgar square to-day in answer 10 the
appeal for a manifestation against tho
house of lords over the destroying clauses
in the parish council bill. Tho meeting
adopted resolutions condemning the lords
for their action IN tho matter. The speak
ers were Joseph Arch, DR.. Charles l.. d.
Tanner, the Irish nationalist. Dababhai
Naoroji, a well-known Bombay merchant,
and five other members OF the house Of
commons. Arch said Lord Salisbury had
done wonderful service when he made the
rope wherewith to hang the lords, and put
the rope In their opponents hands. The
meeting adopted resolutions declaring tho
house Of lords mischcvous and useless
institution and demanding that 1t be
abolished.
The arrest of q prominent member of
the London group OF anarchists is i'm
pending. The police last night, during a
raid, visited the apartments of this men,
Der and seized number OF his private
letters. He at first made n show OF being
greatly indignant, but finally fled from
| the house.
Bourdin was personal friend Of Henry.
An attempt will he made by experts at
Mondays inquest TO show the similarity
between the explosives in the Greenwich
| and the Terminus cafe outrages. Picric
acid was ,he dominant factor in both. The
French believe that Henry's bomb was
made in England. Anarchists say Bourdin
in all probability was proceeding TO
France to emulate llenry's action, and
merely rambled around Greenwich, know.
| ing that he was being Swallowed, and
hoped to take tho train TO Dover later in
the day.
PARIS. Feb. 1S.-A bomb similar in con-
struction to that used by Valiant and
Henry was found to-day on the staircase
of the police station in tho Rue du
Temple.
Anarchist Henry made further con-
fession TO tho police yesterday aud his
| mothers house was searched last night.
| The police found much chemical appa-
| ratus and number of letters and
photographs. including group OF - an-
archists. Henry also diyulged tho names
| OF several anarchist friends and their ar
rests are expected III short time.
LONDON. Feb. i5.-- The Paris corres-
pondcnt of the Standard says that when
| Henry was confronted with those who
helped capture him. his attitude was char
acterislic. NJ. Etienne of the Western
| Railway company said that when about TO
seize Henry, the fugitive turned and fired
| point blank at him. Look added NJ.
| Etienne, showing his waisicoat pierced
| by the bullet. "iad Henry fired
a triile higher should have received the
bullet in my chest" Henry. iutcrrupting,
said, "Well. what harm would there have
been In that?" Eticnne, white with anger.
answered, "Why, you would have killed
me.n
"Well. what ,hen?' said Henry.
"You bloodthirsty scoundrel," exclaimed
NJ. Eticnnc.
IL regret the revolver was OF such in.
feror quality" said Henry. 81 should
