Anarchists I'm EurOpe.

While there is no evidence that the
tragedy which has plunged Austria in
grief and shocked all the world was
the result of a conspiracy, there appear
to be more anarchists in the European
capitals than anybody but the police
has suspected. Whenever the arrest of
an anarchist is made. there are asso-
ciates who attempt his rescue. The po-
lice appear to be informed as to nests
of these enemies of society, against
whom, however, there is no proof of
overt acts.
1t is inevitable that in nations where
free speech is suppressed there should
be many men who. finding the laws op-
pressive, become unreasoning enough
to hate all signs of authority. 1t takes
a level head to consider the social con-
ditions Of monarchy without reaching
a false conclusion. and the safety of
society is in the fact that the masses
of mankind have no disposition to
mediate on sociological subjects. The
few who do are affected according to
their natural temperament. Some
spend their lives in the construction of
theories, and an occasional Unbalanced
mind becomes revengful and violent.
That most enemies of law. persecut-
ed as they sometimes are by wooden
headed and brutal police, should rejoice
in the deeds of an insane assassin is
not surprising: but there is no ground
for believing there are organized So
cieties to promote regicide. At nc time,
when the Nihilists of Russia were most
active in the manufacture and use of
explosives, were the most of the mem
bers and the leading spirits favorable
to violence. They were simply hopeless
and indifferent. The type was truly
represented in Tourgenieff's Fathers
and Sons" in BaZeroff, the first Nihi-
list Still, there is no doubt that the
preaching OF anarcEism by these Sc
cret societies often inspires cranks to
deeds of horror.

The riot in Baltimore shows how
promptly and generally the people take
sides against a corporation. The trouble
grew out of the doctrine that possession
is equivalent TO right a railroad com
pany wanted part of a citizens sidewalk
without paying for it, and thought that
if it once got its tracks down he would
be without a remedy. since he has not
the fortune of the company to spend in
litigation. 1t was 10 prevent this that
the citizens came to the mans rescue. If
the company has a legal right TO the use
of the sidewalk, ii can gain possession
without the use Of force. and when 1t
tries violent means il is safe to say its
claim is not good. There are agents of
the law TO enforce rights.

QUEER CASE OF MISS KING.
Mystery of Her disappearance From
Coney Island Decpens.

New York. Sept. 13.-If the statements
credited TO Miss Anna Lindstrom are true.
the mysterious disappearance of Miss
Louisa King at Coney Island. Sunday
may be cleared up.
The girl is said to have confessed to
Miss Kings mother that she and her mis-
tress went into the water together and
that a great wave came separating them
and carried Miss King far out to sea,
where she perished The girl is hysteri-
cal and some detectives do not credit her
previous statements.
The police Will put the girl through
searching examination today.
Mrs. King said yesterday that there
was not the slightest reason for believ-
ing that her daughter had committed sui
eide. All her life had been happy, and
she had nearly everything she wanted.
She had had no love affair, so far as
Mrs King and her husband knew. and
had not been engaged. 4 Mr.. Chamber
lain, who used to call often al the house,
and with whom Laura was very friend
ly. might have, had the affection of her
daughter, but they were not engaged. If
Laura had wished to marry Mr., Cham
berlain, however, she might have done
so, as neither she Mrs King nor her
husband had any objection TO him. They
would certainly have given their consent
to the marriage. Mrs. King was posi-
tive that Mr.. Chamberlain could have
had nothing to do with her daughters
fate. She was as positive regarding the
idea of an elopement, because, she said,
she had never mentioned an objection to
Mr.. Chamberlain. though the subject had
not been broached TO her. She herself
felt sure that her daughter had been ac-
cidentally drowned.

LOOMS HoMEwARD BOUND.
The Minister May Become Head of
Bureau of American Republics.

The Minister May Become Head of
Bureau of American Republics.
Francis 3. Loomis. American Minister
to Venezuela, sailed yesterday on the
steamer Abydos for New York. When he
arrives in this city he will present to
President Mckinley a beautiful walking
stick, gift from President Andrade of
Venezuela
1t is well known that Minister Loomis is
anxious to return to this country, for
since he has been in South America the
climate has not agreed with him, and his
health has been far from good His wife
is also desirous of being at home at again.
and it is understood that when the min
lister reaches Washington he will tender
his resignation as minister to the Presi-
dent.
When Mr. Loomis was married
President Mckinley, it is said. told him
that he would give him a wedding pres
ent in the shape Of an office, which Mr..
Loomis, like all lother men in Ohio. was
glad to obtain. The President did not
forget his promise, and LOomis was sent
to Venezuela as minister.
Since his appointment he has twice re-
turned to this country, the last time but
about two months ago. 1t is understood
that when he saw the President then he
suggested that he would like to succeed
the late Joseph P Smith as chief of the
Bureau of American Republics, and that
the President said he should have the po-
sition.
II this is true it accounts for the early
return of the minister and his wife. The
position of President of the Bureau of
American Republics is a responsible one.
1t was filled with credit by Joseph Smith,
and the friends OF Minister LoOmis be-
| lieve he could administer the office with
equal satisfaction.

NEW YORK CITY SCHOOLS
About $4,000 Children Crowded OEt
This Year.


This Year.
New York, Sept 13-There was no cere-
mony whatever in connection with the
opening of the 4O5 public schools in New
York City yesterday. These schools. ac-
cording to the figures of the Educa ton
more than 1C0,G00 children, while, accord
irg, tc rough estimate. there are no
school accommodations for Is, 600 children
this year. against Is 900 boys and girls
who We're turned away from the school,
loom doors last year for want of space.
Superintendent Jasper said that no ac-
curate estimate of the number that
could not be accommodated could be
formed until the reports of the princi-
pals were received. Every effort would
be made, however, to afford the means
of instruction in the rudiments of edu-
cation to all who will come to the
.scholls. In pursuance of this policy. it
is proposed to continue the plan of hold
ing two school sessions each day, and
with two sets of teachers, until the new
schools now nearing completion or in
course of construction are made fit for
the reception of teachers and pupils
alike.
Another feature this year in connection
with the work of education is the open-
ing of new school of instruction for
teachers at Oliver and Henry streets. As
teachers are not permitted to teach with
out having at least some practical ex-
perience in the work of instruction this
new departure for introducing new teach
ers into the service of the school board
has the commendation of the principals
and the department officials as well.

Crossing. on the Southern Railway, six
miles south of Woodstock, was the scene
of a most distressing accident Sunday

ahead of the train, drove onto the track.
The horse got across, but the vehicle was
struck squarely. hurling the young ladies
to one side of the track. killing them in
stantly, and the young man was thrown
TO the opposite side, where has was found
badly bruised and in an unconscious con-
dition

The Public schools in Baltimore Re-
open Today


Baltimore, Sept 13.-The public schools
reopened this morning. and an army OF
about z, 900 lesson-Iearners turned their
faces schoOIward. One new school has
been opened in the neighborhood of Pat
tersOn Park. TO relieve the Overcrowding

weeks only one session Will be held In
the primary schools il will last from 3
to 1 o'clock and in the grammar schools
from 10 . There will be no changes for
the present in the courses offered or in
the textbooks in use. IL is probable that
a little more time and attention will be
given TO the teaching Of our national
songs than in the past. The children.
themselves, are more interested in them.
and viii take up the study with greater
enthusiasm.
Baltimore is exceptionally well-eQuipped
in the matter Of schools In addition to
the public schools there are about 11y
sectarian and private schools. whose
standard of work is about the same as in
the public schools Besides these are the
many institutions for more advanced
work or for special instruction. Foremost
among them is the Johns Hopkins, with
its ma gnificent facilities for special re-
search along all lines. and the W0man'S
College. which President Eliot, OF Har-
ward. declared not long ago TO be one of
the best-equipped wOmans colleges in
the country. The medical and dental
schools. the law schools. the commercial
schools. the schools for the study of art
Oratory and music. complete the list. The
sectarian schools opened last week with
about 1900 students Within two or
three weeks the others will be In fun
