ton, but agrees with him on the issue which
forms the text Of his speech Of acceptance,

1T is impossible to deny that Mr.. Brysn's
speech at Indianapolis was q great literary

that neither senator Hosr, nor Carl schurz,
nor ex-GOv. Boutwell, nor all of them to-
gather, have produced a more mastery in

IN this speech 1t is far in advance of any

AN ANARCHIST ARRESTED.

Alexander Bresci, an avowed anar-
chist, who is believed to be the brother
OF Bresci, who murdered the King OF
Italy, was arrested in Richmond yes
terday at the instance of the Italian
colony, VINO are 10 state of excite
ment ever the matter. The man came
70 Richmond from Baltimore twenty
DAYS ago, and secured work as y stone
cutter. All his talk was OF an anar-
cnistic character, and he tried to form
an association. The fact that an aD-
archist was among them soon spread 10
the Italian colony, but no serious no
ice was taken of Bresci until after
Humbert was killed, and then they
commenced to regard him with horror,
and the boast that he would blow
up the cathedral 10 which the noe
mortal services are to take place in
Richmond today caused the Italians to
report Bresci, and his arrest followed.
Nike Jacobini, who lives at the cor
DER OF Nineteenth ADD Main streets,
and conducts a bar at that place,
was one of the first to notice the
ansrchistc leaning OF the man. He
would drop in nearly every night and
advocate anarchy. His whole CONVEX
sation tended that way. He spoke OF
the proposed assassination OF the King
several days before 1t occurred. Said
Ur Jacob nj: I'VE hardly believed it
out he was so positive in his statement
chat the King had but short while
70 live, that | became concerned and
alarmed. A short while before news
reached Us of the assassination, he
made the remark in Boosting way
mat Humbert nsd ooly short while
10 live. This convinced us that he
knew a good deal about the affair.
"Afterward be stated that he was
present at the Paterson meeting, when
lots we're drawn as to who should do
the killing, and intimstedthat he would
nave cheerfully committed the crime,
nad he been chosen.
"Tbe man was measured after his ar
rest by the Bertillon system and show
ed familiarity with the apparatus. He
bears a striking resemblance TO Bresc,
the assassin of King Hum bert, and
many of the Italians firmly believe that
the two men are brothers"

THE PROPOSITION of the English to
take possession OF and hold the Chinese
province OF Shanghai is, as might well
have been supposed, objected to by the
American consul there. OF course,
where there is objection and opposition
there is danger OF a resort to violence.
But that danger is always incident TO
foreign alliances, against which General
Washington warned his countrymen.
That warning was needed until the re-
publicaus got possession Of the country,
but since then, what Washington said
has been a last years birdsnest.
