"These facts were known only to the
detective bureaus of tle different ccun-

It is hard to keep any thing from the Sc

political suspects redoubled our guard
upon him. with the result Of finding he

And so with the other secret societies.
We had our way Of finding out about
them all.
within the last six months these or

terious communications between them
and the suburbs OF tle towns. II is the
custom of q dynamite society to c6niucc
the manufacture of their weapons o.
warfare. which is always dynamite, up
on the suburbs OF town And from
tbere the rotten stuff is brought to he
city when needed. 1t was in one Of the
suburbs OF Boulogle IEst the largest
gang of dynamiters was recently cap
tuIed.
"All was going along in this way when
we received a cablegram from Paris that
the blow was TO be struck. We could
not tell where, but advices said that the
whole world was to receive its blow at
the same time. BY a preconcerted signal
the dynamite station in each country
would take the life of the ruler, destroy
the government and establish reign
of terror In few weeks. the Anarch-
istic government would rule over the
whole world. That was the plan, now
happily thwarted.

When the matter was presented the
judge said:

these men left the dynamiters, fleeing
as fast as they could and exposing their
secrets. In this way the governments
o. me whole world were preserved.
IF you doub- this note the dynamite
gangs that were Immediately broken
up. Take the one in Paris, the great
flourishing one in Boulogne, the recent
seizure in COns,antinople, the London
dynamite find and the activity in Chi
cago and New York in watching the dy-
namiters. Their work might be called a
questionable one so far as honor is con-
cerned. but one cannot put TOO fine a.
point upon honor when the lives Of thou
sands are concerned.
The most lamentable thing about the
dynamite outragss,' said the detective,
who IS an Irishman himself, "is the harm
it does the cause of Ireland. The Fenian
party and the Irish societies are blamed
for it when, as one Of the leaders told
