LONDON, Feb, 23.-'rhia was the day
fixed for the funeral Of Bourdin, the
anarchist fatally injured by the ex-
plosion Of his own bomb on the 18th
met. Riotous demonstrations were an
ticipated and the police made prepara-
tions to protect the shops in the
neghborhood of the undertaker's estab-
lishmept in Chapel street, where the re-
mains lay. Crowds of excited spects-
tors, including many anarchists, gath
cred in the neighborhood in tho early
morning hours. They were watched by
a strong force Of police and detectives.
When the anarchists attempted to re-
move the body to one of their meeting
places, where their leaders were to de-
liver orRtions over the remains, the po-
lice forbade and directed that the body
be conveyed to the cemetery by another
route than that intended.
The police allowed only one coach to
follow the hearse, and it was surrounded
by body of mounted police. Anarch-
ists who wished to follow the body we're
compelled to go to the cemetery by a
different route from that taken by the
hearae or follow very far behind. Before
starting the anarchists displayed red
flag. The police made charge and
captured it after brief strug-
gle, and one shown shortly
aiterward met the same fate. The po-
lice had large reserves close at hand in
case OF need. The anarchists laughed
at the police precautions against bomb
throwing, saying they were not fools
enough to blow themselves out OF Eng
land, the only country where an an
archist could live in peace.
Among the crowd could be heard
strong expressions condemning the an
archists and asserting that Bourdin de-
served his fate. Others were pronounced
in favor OF hanging all the anarchists to
the nearest lamp post, and one man, who
shouted: "Vive PAnarchie!" as the
hearse was moving away, was 30 roughly
handled that he was mass Of rags and
bruises when he succeeded in escaping.
Mourning badges and red neckties could
be seen, but in the main the crowds
were composed OF people only anxious
not to miss seeing an anticipated collis-
ion between the police and friends oil
the dead anarchist. Eventually the
police mustered in such strong force
that the crowds were brought to stand
still, and finally the hearse proceeded
on its way almost without any follow
ing, the sensation seekers being slowly
but firmly driven backward and almost
dispersed.
Owing to the display of police force,
only about 500 persons were present al
the cemetery when the body reached
the grave. AS the remains were being
lowered into the earth, an anarchist
leader named Quinn made an attempt
to address the crowd. He was hoisted
upon the shoulders of some friends, and
had begun with: MEN and Brothers
The remains of martyr have just -"
This was all the Grafton heard. fol
Quinn and his friends we're roughly
charged upon by the police and the
orator seized and removed from the
cemetery by two policemen. With the
exception of this incident, the proceed.
ungs in the cemetery were without
startling features.
During the afternoon a crowd COM
posed of medical students and others
marched to tho Automatic club, the re-
Gently rRided headquarters of the anar
chIsts, and smashed all the windows
while threatening to burn it TO the
ground. A force of police was hastily
sent to the spot and succeeded in saving
the building and restoring order after {
number of arrests had been made.
