TRUNK FULL OF
DYNAMITE
Chicago Police Make a Start
ling Discovery, Smacking
of Anarchy.

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept, 2o.-Jos,
Bestman, said by the police to
be anarchist, left at IS sedg-
wick court three years ago this
tall, a trunk containing sufi-
Gent dynamite to have DESTROY
ed an acre Of property in Chi
cago and to have taken the
lives of hundreds of citizens.
The discovery was made by
accident. Bestman was not
found, but the police received
information in the afternoon
that he is living in Dallas. Tex,
and wired the chief Of police
there to arrest him at once.
The discovery of this enor-
nous quantity Of explosives
and the story Of Bestman him
self SO far as IS known now to
the police, bring to light a tale
OF anarchistic plotting such as
Chicago has not had revealed
since the dark days Of 1855,
when the existence Of the city
was threatened and Spies and
his comrades swung on the
gallows for bomb throwing at
the Haymarket massacre.
Much correspondence with
the condemned anarchists was
also found.

to stand aside and to hope for
a more satisfactory state of
affairs.
This ack-down on the part
of Great Britain is due to the
fact that the cabinets of the
continental powers have con.
cludd that it is more prudent
TO coudone the recent massacres
at Consianlinople than to raise
the Eastern question in the
most forcih,e manner, aud as
the Marquis of Salisbury re
cogniz4s, it is strength. and not
sentiment which rules the
world.
Great Britain can not face
the combined fleets Of Russia,
France, Germany and Austria,
even with the assistance Of
Italy. Therefore Great Britain
must stand aside, and unless
Russia prevents it The Turks
will have a free. hand in tue
settlement of the Armenian
difficulty by the sword qnd
torch or by any other means
which the porte may think fit
to adopt.
In view of this condition Of
affairs,t the Marquis Of Salisbury
and the Conservative press have
changed front and are now
6uslly engaged in cold donch

they themselves started in the
vain hope Of awakening similar
agitation on the continent.

All, but then we might have freedom,
we might have relief from these crush
ing taxes. Our sons and fathers might
live with us, and our beautiful island be
safe to travel in, instead of being given
up to be the spoil of foreign banditti.
This was before the recent outbreak in
Cuba, but the same sentiments pervaded
the Cuban masses then as now. 1t may
have been from fear that the appearance
Of the flag Of the free flying from q
prominent point in the city held by
Cuba's enemies would excite such ad-
verse sentiment that the captain gen.
eral took hand in the proceedings. At
all events, there came to me an orderly
from that dignitary, with request,
couched in most courteous Spanish
phrases, that the distinguished Ameri-
can visitor" would kindly refrain from
attracting crowd by continuing the
flag Of his country in such q conspicuous
position" etc.
1t was q gentle hint that by persist
ing in this course I might become pos

counsel with prudence and hauled the
flag down at sunset. But at the Ameri-

THE ICE AGE.
There Were Cold Days in Those Times
of Universal Frigidity.

There Were Cold Days in Those Times
of Universal Frigidity.
For centuries the north was an ice
locked land and conditions of life had
changed, says Lippincott's. From the
pole to the southern ice limit not one
mountain projected its head above the
unbroken snow; even Mount Washing
ton was deep down under the surface.
Manhattan island lay buried at least
1000 feet under ice; a wild, weird still
ness rested over this favored spot, in
terrupted only by the crashing of the
Ice as pieces broke from the end of the
glacier beyond the narrows and, as ice
bergs, floated out to sea.
Ages had now passed since man first
appeared in his primeval home. Some
progress the race had made, but man
was till a rude and untutored savage:
his crude weapons were only pieces of
roughly Clipped stone, but it was man
with progressive and endless mind.
And as years passed the rude paleo-
Ithic ancestor gave place to men with
higher degree of primitive art; flint
tipped arrows and axes Of stone now
gave man the mastery over every ami
NAL; food was no longer matter of
chance, but matter Of Skill Still, at
war with the elements, wild beats and
savage neighbors, it was fearful strug-
gle; the world at the best was then no
garden of Eden.
For 10000 years or more the ice, with
its various advances and retreats, COW
cred the north. Then began its final
departure, but it was probaly as slow
in going as it had been in coming. The
land began to gradually sink, the win
ters became milder and the summers
longer.
