Elizabeth was taken Yesterday after

anarchism, he wrote:
above all, 1t is the great who must
be struck. Not only sovereigns and their
ministers will be reached by the com
fades.s but all who make them miserable
on earth.
He says hewass net iiTssf,eiieti by mis-
cry to kill the empress, as such a course
would have been fdiotic, but he COM
mitted the deed ''in order that such
crimes. following one upon the other,
might cause all who impoverish the
popuIace to trembIe and shiver" The
document concludes with this declara-
ton:
II am an anarchist by conviction"

drowned, and it was not until about 6
o'clock. meal time, that they We're miss

Paris. Sept. 14.--Among the rumors
in circulation last night Regarding the
preyfus case is one that an arrest still
more sensational than any yet made is
imminent, Another report says that
when General Zurlinden. minister for
war, resigns, legal action for revision
will be commenced before his successor
is appointed.
General zurlinden at the last moment
begged to be excused from accompany
ing President Faure to thssmaneuvers. +
The frank newspaper assertions that
M. Faure is supporting General zurlin-
den in opposing revision have created
considerable comment and given rise to
the notion that there will be no revision
while M. Faure is president.
Last night four men, armed with
clubs. attacked and severely injured M.

lite paper. One of the four is under ar

1t is rumored that in view of the pos

gore. who, it is said, is disposed to ac-
cept the portfolio.

known to be reluctant to serve, it is be-
llieved that he will accept. AS a retired

of the president and could be ordered to
duty on the committee.

else this power. He thinks General

communications which the president
has had from him indicate that he may

prospects are that the president may
not be able to secure committee of
nine, and he may find it impossible to
secure seven men of such high charac-
ter and reputation as he desires.
There is danger that the hopes of the
president may not be realized and that
the report of the committee may not be

desired when the project was taken
under advisement. Even if the president
