These facts were known only TO the

And so with the other secret societies.
within the last six months these organ

communications between them and tht
suburbs of the town. 1t is the custom OF a
dynamite society to tocunductthc manufacture
OF their weapons of warfare, which is al

town. And from there the rotten stniI'

was in one Of the suburbs of Boulugne that
the largest gang OF dynamiters WAS re-
Gently captured.
.All was going along in this way when
we received u Cablegram from Paris thai
the blow was to be struck. We could
not tell where. but advices said that The

In :. few weeks the Anarchistic government
would rule over the whole world. That
was the plan, now happily thwartcd.
The ming that brought all to Il heat
was the Iibcra'ing OF the Irish patriots
from Portland Prison. These men were
placed in Portland on circumstantial evi-
dence. as everybody knows. That they
were Nihilists. or mad anything to do with
bomb-throwing, has never been halfway
proven But the fact of their being Irish
dynam.ters,' reasoned the Terrorists. was
enough 10 hing The explosion upon. They
would strike while the iron was hot.
\ SIMULTANEOUS BLOW.
- ocorIingly. from the United States
where q very large dynamite factory is
located, ana from different safe parts nf
Southern Europe the agents Were dis
patched In every direction. to be received
by the societies. The blow was To be
struck simultaneously
But the secret service is a smart al-
fair. Working for the past two years in
the dynamite gangs were men employed
by the service. Their work was done at
the risk of their lives, aud not once in
the last TWO wears have they dared 10
communicate with central. If the slight

failure TO their cause would be Il certain

But when the critical momentcame these
men left the dynamiters, fleeing as fast
as they could aud exposing their secrets
In this way the governments Of the whole
world Were preserved.
III you doubt this note the dynamite
gangs that Were immediately broken up.
Take the one in Paris, the great flourish
ing one in Boulusnc, the recent seizure in
COnstantinOplc, the London dynamite find
hnd the activity in Chicago and New York
IN watching the dynamite suspects. All
this was told by these men SO long work

be called questionable one So far as
honor is concerned, but one cannot put too
fine point upon honor when the lives OF
thousands are concerned

lie would willingly have given his life not
to have had it happen. 1t was a clever
stroke of tic Nihilists to select an hour
when the Irish 'dynamiterS' would be Iiter-
atcd from Portland and the Irish agitation
present In every mind 1t is a doubtful
thing, they declare. If any of the real
dyuamiterS arrested ever belonged to an
Irish society.
Tie plot of the murderers was re-
markable thing from an American stand
point said the detective. because it sll
hinged upon the United States.
