HARBORED A SPY,
London Anarchists Feed and
Cloth a Poor Frenchman,
Who Repays Their KINDNESS by Re-
veaIing Secrets to Paris Police.
Faces Death When Detected But is Finally
Kicked Into Street.

London, Jan. "A young/man named
Eugene came from Paris last August,
and made his home in the Anarchist
quarters. He appeared destitute. The
Anarchists fed and clothed him. and
found him employment. Gradually they
admitted him to their confidence He
professed their doctrines and often took
part in their secret councils BY the end
of November he had attended several of
their secret meetings.
1t was then noticed that the Paris
police were getting an unusual amount of
information as to Anarchist proceedings
in London. Early in December the
Anarchist leaders began to suspect
Eugene. They were not sure until an
important document addressed to Eugene
by Commissary Andre, third brigade of
the Paris police, was delivered by mis-
take to the English Anarchists.
-sTwenty hours later special meeting
was called. Eugene was invited to be
resent. The moment he entered the
door he was seized and bound He was
kicked, cuifcd, spat upon and with "A re
yolver at his head and several knives at
his breast, was ordered to confess within
10 minutes.
He acknowledged that he was trusted
police agent known as Cotin, Cuvilier
and Cottancc. In the search of his per
son bundle Of police documents were
found in Il secret pocket. One of them
was a letter from the Paris prefecture
instructing him to watch and report in
full the doinos of a woman who was
about to start from Dieppe to London.
When the detective had answered all
the questions the Anarchists cared to ask
his captors proposed to kill him. Clti
mately he was kicked into the street with
the warning that he would be killed if he
did not leave London at once. He started
for Paris and, it 10 said, will ypntcr the
army to protect his life.
The London Anarchists will send por
traits of him to France for circulation
among the Anarchists of the principal
cities.

SPRINGER NOT DISCOURAGED.
He Hopes TO Pass the Bill Though in an
Amended Form.

Washington, Jan. 9.-Mr. Springer
does not regard the action of the House,
today, in voting down the motion for the
previous question on the order reported
from the committee on rules fixing a day
for vote on the financial bill, Is defeat
ing the measure by any means. He is
surprised, he said, that the rule should
have been defeated, because at the caucus,
Monday, no opposition was manifested
to that part of the resolution introduced
by Speaker Crisp.
He says the committee on rules will
probably bring in another order within
Il few days. or he will himself move to go
into committccsof the whole for further
consideration of the bill. He permitted
it to be side tracked after the vote, today,
inasmuch as nothing was TO be gained by
continuing general debate. He says the
Democratic members of the committee on
banking and currency will confer with
each other and Sec Carlisle within the
next few days, as to the better plan of
bringing this or some other measure of
financial relief before the House again.

IN THE SENATE.
The Dollar Mark on the Foreheads OF Many
Corporation Employees.

Washington, Jan. 9.-1n the Senate,
Mr. Quay asked: Would it not be well
to compel the publication of names and
salaries of corporation employees in the
report made under the income tax? A
gentleman very high in political position
in Philadelphia, "a Republican national
committeeman, stated, within the last 36
hours, to "a member of the other House and
to judicial officer of the city of Philadcl-
phia, as a reason why he could not pre-
serve his pliqhted faith in regard to an
important nomination there, that he was
under heavy salary from great corpora
ton and was compelled to do what the
corporation wished, not what he himself
desired and felt that he ought TO do. The
amendment | suggest is pertinent, simply
in this respect, that men in such posi-
lions, with high power for good or evil,
ought not to be permitted to masquerade
as acting in the interest Of the public
or the interest of any party, when in
reality they are serving these great cor
poration bodies They ought to meet
their fellows fairly and openly, with the
