Paris, Jan. 3.-Some time must elapse
before the practical value of the govern
ment's coup against anarchists every
where in France on Sunday night can be
accurately judged. Already the people
begin to suspect that it was more of a
coup de theater than a coup de tonnere.
The police, in their raids, swept in tons
of documents, most of which could be
bought by anybody at open sale, while
among the many suspects arrested not
dozen are likely to be identified as anarch-
lists belonging to the dynamite groups. An
other circumstance which will probably
weaken the prestige belonging to the
government action is that no important
discoveries of explosives has been mades
MINER WITH POWDER.
To-day at Decasville, nineteen miles
from Vile Franche, the police arrested a
miner named Poun. They found that
Poun had in his possession a quantity of
compressed powder and a number of an
archist brochures. The prisoner claimed
that he used the powder in his work, and
this is more than likely to be found to be
the case when an investigation is held.
DYNAMITE BESIDE POND.

that had been concealed in some shrub
berry bordering the pond The police
were notified and upon investigation,
found that the explosive belonged to a
man named Bras, who was an associate
of Ravachol. The latter occasionally used
the name Bras as one of his many aliases
The ownership of the explosives found
at Grenoble at the Colombler Iron
Works, and at ComeDtry, has not been
traced to any one.
THE MOST PROMINENT PRISONER.
Several of the men arrested are simply
thieves, with police records, and none of
the prisoners is a man of any prominence.
The most notable of the men arrested and
still detained is Editor Prolo. He is an
orator, who has advocated the use of
dynamite, but has never been known to
be CONCERNED in any plot against the peace
of the republic, or the lives of its citi-
zens. There is no evidence against him
now, and he must soon be released.
A PRONOUNCED ANARCHIST.
Marcus Tournadre, a pronounced an
archist, who was caught in the drag net
thrown out by the police, was detained in
prison for a short time and then released.
These facts are taken to indicate that the
police raid was not productive of the re-
suits expected when the domiciliary Wis
its began. 1t is announced to-day that
Tournadre will stand as candidate for
senator at Aurlllac, department of Can
tai.
sNEERED AT By SOCIALISTS.
The socialist papers sneer at the coup
and deny it's effectiveness.
Yves Guyot, in letter published by the
Steele, accuses the socialists of openly op-
posing the measures taken for the protec-
tion of society. The government, he says,
used energetic measures to secure this
protection, whereupon the socialists COM
bat them and cry out: I'VE are perse-
cuted and are under the regime as
suspects" Yves Guyot adds that
the government desires to expedite
the legal process against Valiant, the
anarchist who threw the bomb in the
Chamber of Deputies, while the socialists
seek, by every possible means, to retard
nal they hope to gain time, and, in fact
declare that they are gaining it. Their
object is to secure jures capons. The let
ter concludes by asking what does this
solicitude for Valiant and other anarch-
lists prove if there is no socialist solidar-
ity with them?
The letter points to the moderate re-
publicans making a demand upon the gov
ernment to deal decisively with the So
pfn icNC Of Ton ntn nd ln
prominent sociolist papers, instead of
striking only at the humber workmen,
who are known to be scamps and persons
on the level of Pere Reinard.
vAILLANT's TRIAL
Vaillant's counsel will tomorrow ap-
ply to the court of cessation toEdelay the
trial of the bomb thrower. The court
may grant a delay of a few days, if the
advocate pleads want of time to prepare
the Defense but the simplicity of the case
affords no pretext for longer postpone
ment Though the talesmen for the jury
have been carefully selected, consisting
of twenty merchants, five renters, three
engineers, two architects, banker,
notary, a chemist and a doctor
it is doubtful if the jury
gives d verdict without adding to it that
there were extenuatiug circumstances.
Every one of the jurymen called is re-
ceiving menacing letters, though their
names were only made public last even
ing. The police this morning began
guarding the house of Judge Gaze, presi-
dent of the court in which Valiant will
be tried. The palais de la justice, its
approaches and the whole ministry Of the
interior are doubly guarded.
POLICE OFFICERS FIRED ON.
Fifteen men and youths met Police
Commissary Peletan an policeman
on the Asnieres quay last night. They
shouted "Vive rAnarchie ct valiant %
They fired several revolver shots, and
one bullet pierced M. Peletans overcoat.
All fifteen escaped.
A Spaniard, formerly journalist, who
is believed to have been involved in the
Lyceum theater outrage in Barcelona,
was arrested at Montpelier to-day.
