DEFIANT ANARCHISTS.
Fiery Speeches Made at the Au-
tonomie Club Meeting.
URGED TO INITIATE VALIANT.
House of Lords denounced at II Popular
Meeting Iu Trafalgar Square - Henry,
the Paris Bomb Thrower, Betrays Some
of His Fellow Conspirators.

LONDON, Feb 19-Crowds of curious per-
sons swarmed in Greenwich park, packed
the terrace in front of the celebrated OBJ
servatory and filled all the other elevated
portions of this popular resort for Lond on
ers from w7lich is obtainable so extensive
and interesting view over the river.
Stakes dotted the ground where portions
of the dynamited body of the anarchist
Bourdin had been found. All of these
stakes were in line with the spot where the
body was discovered.
AT the postmortem examination dozen
pieces of metal similar in their contents to
the bombs used by Bourdin were produced.
The widely announced meeting of the Au-
tonomie club, under the auspices of the
International Workers group, was at
tended by only Is persons. Fourteen of
these were foreigners. aThe speakers who
had been announced to address the meet
ing did not appear.
Finally, after wait of two hours, Glib
bons of the Commonweal group arrived
and made u speech, in the course of which
he urged individual IAort in righting the
wrongs they complained of, and he held up
Valiant, Pallas and other martyrs" as
worthy of his hearers emulation. Hun
dreds, he said, were ready to sacrifice their
lives in the great cause. He himself was
perfectly prepared to do so. They had
nothing to live for. but were simply the
slaves of the capitalists. Speeches, he add
ed, were useless, and physical force was
necessary.
Bombs Versus Maxim Guns.
When the government and Mr.. Asquith
he continued, abandoned making maxim
guns for use against the people, the latter
would relinquish the manufacture of dyna-
mite bombs. The speaker advised workers
to read books upon chemicals, which they
would find in the public libraries, and to
learn the use of these chemicals.
Other speeches similar in tone, but in
foreign languages, We're made to the audi
ence, which ultimately numbered so per-
sons. These so made upin enthusiasm for
the smallness of the gathering and wildly
cheered at every opportunity the senti-
ments of their leaders.
Many detectives in citizens clothing
were present and scattered in all parts of
the meeting place. This may have had its
good effect, for outside of the threatening
language the meeting in every way was an
orderly one.
Foreign arrivals are being vigorously
watched by the police at all the channel
ports. Four thousand persons assembled
in Trafalgar square in answer to IA call for
for destroying the clauses in the parish
councils bill, or local government bill,
which called for reforming of the Lon
don vestries. The meeting, with much
show of feeling, adopted resolutions con-
demning the house of lords for its action
in this matter.
The speakers, who were vociferously
cheered time and again in the course of
their remarks, were Joseph Arch, DIR.
Charles X. ID. Tanner, the Irish National
list; w. II. Wilson, Dadabhai Naoroii, the
well known Bombay merchant, and five
other members of the house of commons.
Joseph Arch said that Lord Salisbury
had done ii n'uIderft,i service when he had
made the rope wherewith to hang the lords
and put this rope i'll their opponents hands.
The meeting also adopted resolutions de
claring the house of lords to be a mischie-
vous and useless institution and demand
ing that it should be abolished forthwith.
