Malatesta Talks Of the Cost Of Buying Dctec.

Malatesta, the anarchist, who is con-
sidered the leader OF the regicide con-
Spiracy, has been interviewed in London.
He is represented as having said:
"Signor Sarraco, the Italian premier,
is our best friend. He pays the detec-
tives such small salaries that we can buy
them cheaply. A few francs and a
handful OF cigarets and you can buy an
Italian detective. The Spanish police
are the cheapest the Italians come next,
and then the Russian, American, French
and English in that order. The German
detectives are the dearest, because they
are the most stupid. With all the ar
rests, they have not arrested any real
revolutionist We shall shortly estab-
lish in Italy economic equality and So
cial brotherhood. Then the whole
world will follow the example OF Italy"

kilograms from London say: The
hospital scandal in South Africa is sup
plemented by an army scandal. Old
timers affirm that the scandals at the
close Of the Crimean war exceeded any
thing the Boer war can furnish, and re-
gard the present evidence OF misman-
agcmcnt at trifling. However, the pres
ent generation is keenly affected by the
shortcomings OF the war office.
1t is asserted that the soldiers, who,
at present, are doing the Free State,
have been literally starved until the in
iantrymen are so weak that they can
hardly stagger under the weight OF their
equipment One pound OF raw -four,

The allotment Of such a large por-

"The people are so angry that they

The Daily Express says "There is

the demand for investments OF high
