FIGHT WITH ANARCHISTS.
SOLDIERS BATTLE WITH ONE
THOUSAND ANARCHISTS.
Anarchists Captured Town, Taking all the
Arms and Ammunition and Fortified
Themselves Eight Anarchists
Killed and Many Wounded.

ROME, Jan, 16.-Most sensational
news is being wired here from Carrara.
The inhabitants are terrified bv sounds
Of long and fierce firing in the hills
near Tirano, where band of from 600
to 1000 anarchists are reported to be
fighting a pitched battle with a force
OF infantry and gensd 'armes sent to
hunt them down. 1t is judged that
the loss of life must have been great as
the infantry, accordidg to reports,
have been firing volley after
volley at the anarchists. The an
archlsts are said to have
taken up strong positions behind
rocks and other points OF vantage in
the hills, and they have made des-
perate resistance to the troops, but it
is reported that they were finally de-
feated and fled, leaving a number of
dead and wounded upon the field.
1t now Granspires that an armed
band OF anarchists gathered at Tirano
and overran the village, compelling
people to deliver up all the arms and
ammunition which they had in their
possession. The anarchists then se-
cured all the wine and spirits procur-
able and prepared to march upon Car
rara.
Later dispatches say that the num-
Der Of killed during the fight between
the military and the armed band of
anarchists which sought refuge in the
hills near Massa is not so great as the
people of Massa at first reported. OH.
cial adVices state that onlv eight of
the anarchists were killed and that
only from 40 to 30 were wounded. The
people of Massa say that at least 80
quarrymen were shot during the en-
gagement.

BUSY BURGLARS.
Ransack a Page-Street
Residence.
What w. r. LarzeIere and Family
Found on Returning Home
Last Night.

Burglars made a considerable haul last
night from the residence of w. r. Larze-
lere, commission merchant, 435 Page street.
There was no one in the house last night,
the whole family having gone out TO spend
the evening. Even the servant was ab-
sent, so the burglars had two or three
hours to make a complete Overhauling of
the premises.
Mr.. Larzelere and family returned home
about IL o'clock It did not take them
long 20 discover that some one had been
there during their absence. A hurried
visit to each of the rooms showed that n OF
one had escaped the attention of the un-
expected visitors.
Bureau drawers and trunks had been
oVerhauled and their contents scattered
over the floor, while a careful selection of
the m ost valuable articles had been made.
Tbs contents of the different closets had
also been thrown out upon the floors AMI a
selection also made. Members of the
family missed articles of jewelry from their
bedrooms, and the servant had not been
overlooked. as her gold watch was not
where she had left it.
In the dining-rOom a valuable lot of
silverware was taken and several fancy
articles from the drawing-room. In their
haste the burglars had broken two or three
articles of vertu in the drawinG-room.
Mr.. Larzelere did OF take time to make
an inventory of his loss, but hurried down
to police headquarters and Informed the
officials at the Central station of the fact
that his house had been entered, as he
thought the sooner the police we're notified
the better chance there would be for ar
resting the burglars, as tIey might pawn
some of the silver articles before the hue
and cry was raised.
An entrance to the house had been
effec ed by forcing open one of the rear
windows with the assistance of 4 Jimmy"

No Other Nation Can Touch Him in
a War

The United States, remarks the Boston
Journal has been said 10 be a warlike nation
without being military nation. Its war DO
tentlalitieS are vast indeed. 1t showed that
thirty years ago, when, with little more than
half its present population, 1t mustered more
than 100000 men under arms in the Union
and Confederate forces. There is now in
America the enormous total of $500, 600 men
OF military age eligible for service. No civil
iZed country IN the world could place such a
gigantic host of men in the field In an emer-
gency
Or course, the actual number of organized.
drilled and uniformed citizen soldiers Is only a
small fraction of this, but the real available
military strength Of The United States is only
lnadequately appreciated by the average
American. The military spirit which The civil
war engered has not died ont among The
American youth. On The contrary, iL has
amply held It's own, II iJ has not Increased.
Never before was tile National Guard of tha
several States 50 strong i'll numbers, so well

1l2,I9O OF these volunteers in all Tepresr ming
infantry, cavalry and artillery. Their eff
cheney widely varies, being high as a rule in
the old. rich anu pOpulous States. and less
satisfactory in the newer anu sparsely settled
communities.
New York heads the list in numbers, with a
welFequipped force OF IL, $40 officers and men
as large as 4 fighting army corps of The Rebel

The entire organized militia of the United

The attendance at the fourth annual

yesterday, was not up 10 expectation, but
there appeared to be sufficient reasons why
it should not be. To begin with, the notices
procaiming the calling of the convention
were mailed to our-of-tOwn delegates at
very short notice, and in consequence the
delegates from the Pacific Northwest, of
whom there are quite number. found it
impossible to attend. And, of course, the
business Generalization following the rail

molder of public opinion to think twice
