LONDON. Sept. 1T must be admitted that
Che extraordinary measures adopted for the
suppression Of anarchy In France have served
thus far to make its mad votaries moro defiant
and threatening than ever. The revengeful
blow which has followed every execution Of an
Anarchist murderer has not yet been struck in
memory of Csrnots assassin, but the authori.
ties are In momentary expectation and dread OF
H. In fact, the Government is almost In panic
over the danger. This ls due 10 an apparently
systematic plot among the Ansrchists to drive
Ali who are responsible for the public safety to
terror and distraction.
It IL literally true that large portion of the
daily mail OF the President Of the Republic and
other prominent officials consists Of threats OF
assassination. Not a day passes that dozen or
more anonymous hints Of all manner Of Anar-
chist plots are not sent TO the police and the
Home once. The police believe that some Of
these threats are genuine, but they are sent in
such numbers that even the augmented re-
sources of the secret service are utterly unable
10 deal with them. II is a shrewd move on the
part Of the wrctches who are really plotting
murder and outrage. II hint of their actual
plans by any accident reaches the police they
are unable TO give It any more attention than
II Il were one OF the mass Of bogus clues which
they receive.
Tho oficers Of the Home Department, the
surety for the general safety, are at their wits
end. They do not know how 70 cope with the
situation. The plans which have been adopted
for the protection Of the life of President CAST
nir-P Perier are more elaborate than any ever en-
ployed under tho Empire. When the President
left Paris on Thursday for his country residence
the train included two second-class carriages
containing thirty-nve detectives. A corps Of
seventy Of these officers are employed on the es-
tate when the President IL IN residence. They
assume the character Of laborcrs, gardeners.
fshmongers, and hawkcrs in the neigh
borhood OF the chateau. Whsn the President
goes to Paris they disappear. Any stranger who
loiters within block Of tho Elys6e h quickly
questioned BY . detective. Tho necessity for
this espionage is extremely CALLING to the Prcsi-
dent. but he is wise enough TO recognize the
genuine danger. He assumes at least q SEM
blAnce Of security by appearing occasionally in
public, but always on unexpected occasions,
such as q drive to the railroad station in an
open carriage.
Persons who assume TO know what the French
Anarchists are doing-and have had some
proof of the genuineness Of their information
within the past year-tell me they will seek TO
establish reign OF terror In Paris In October.
The police arc convinced that mischief moro
serious than any yet attempted Is brewing. Tho
fact that these fears are 30 definite 10 the best
assurance thst thsy may not b realised. for .ke
expected seldom happens IN France, especially
In such masters.
There are no apprehensions among the public.
The Anarchist scare would have quite died
down save for the fact that there is growing
restlsssnsss among the Paris lower classes, due
perhaps 10 the periodical demand Of the French
nature for excitement. II has been IN unusu-
ally quiet summer in the French capital.
The slavo-dealing scandal In Cairo Is o serious
affair. Not only has the trafic in young girls
been large, but the most prominent natives are
involved Il IL expected that the sixteen Of
tenders who arc to be tried next week will be
acquitted, because 1t Is found that the law
Furnishes only dealers, and not purchasers.
The case Of Ali Pasha, President of
the native Legislative Assembly. brings
up Q scandalous and absurd feature
Of Egyptian politics. He is charged with being
an aooomplios OF the dealers because he lodged
slaves In his house. He now denes the Egyptian
courts, on the ground that he Is a subject OF
Italy. He was nAturalized as an Italian In 1867.
but has been regarded always as q native sub
ject. and has figured as such before the native
tribunals. The Legislative Assembly was insti-
tuted by Lord Dufferin as an entirely native

There remains Just enough soreness over the
International yacht racing TO make the Prince
of wAlss's decision q wise one TO limit the
BritAnniA's appearance this season 10 the COM
petition for the Cape May Cup on next wednss-
day. II IL not true, by the way, that the
Prince agreed TO sail this race only under the
influence OF strong representations from Mr..
Gould. The withdrawal OF the Britannia from
all the races was really made because OF the
attitude and comments OF many English yachts
men becoming unpleasant that the Prince
feared he might become involved In an undig-
niaed and disgracsful situation. The loss OF
two members OF the crew of the Britannia fur
nished an excuse for putting an end TO the dis
agreeable talk OF which Gould was the silent
victim.
The owner OF the vigiiant did nothing more
than 70 make 1t perfectly clear that lie would be
