HIDING IN LONDON.
Printed i'm Anarchist Papers Before
Mckinley's Death.

LONDON, Sept. 2O.-Bow street and the
roads and by-ways of Soho square no long
er know the festive Anarchist, male and
female. Since the assassination of Presi-
dent Mckinley those mUrderous firebr1nds
have entirely vanished from their usual
haunts, low down cafes and public houses,
street corners and printing offices. Many
Of them, doubtless. fled into the provinces
where they are unknown, but Inspector
Melville, the same who discovered the plot
to murder the Car several years ago, can
put his hand on them any moment, for his
agents, money-hungry Anarchists, keep
him posted on the movements of the com
rades," whether they are in London or out
of the city. This is not a new trick. but
the police never before made such lavish
use of it. The money formerly spent on
special men and expert detectives, is now
divided among Anarchists lin good stand
ing with their fellows" who promptly cash
any valuable information they can get
hold Of.
Scotland Yard says this system will be
gradually extended to all foreign countries
where Anarchists live and hide. Just now
Inspector Melville would like TO engage
some Anarchist correspondents in America
to put them on the track of LA Bella
Theresa" supposed TO be in New York. or
in the West. Theresa Malatesta, some lit
tie time ago, took leave from London
friends with this pretty little speech:
"Nihilists, Fenians and Anarchists, by
whatever name you go. your purpose must
be the samei Our rule can only be estab-
lished by intimidation. horrors and MUIR
ders. Hence, let US keep an eye on Kings,
Emperors and Presidents. The last of them
must die ere we can breathe freely. To
await for reform would take too long, wait
ing spells peril to our cause. Hence, let
Us act whenever and wherever opportunity
Offers"
La Bella is also wanted in Italy, as new
evidence just come TO light proves that she
was in the plot for the assassination of
King Umberto. She lived with Bresci at
various hotels in Paris and Italy during the
two weeks preceding the tragedy Of MonZa.
The ''theoretic'' Anarchist. Prince Kro-
potkin, who fled from Paris TO this city, Is
keeping out of the way of interviewers,
though at other times he receives them
with open arms. Regarding the assassina-
ton of President Mckinley by a "comrade'
he will only say that CzOlgocz is a com
mon murderer" Yet this red prince, or
prince of the reds, claimed Ravachol as the
type of a true Anarchist and discovered "a
sublime logic" in the various crimes of that
%scoundrel, namely. the murder Of an in
offensive hermit. the dehling Of the grave
and person OF a dead millionairess and the
ynamite plot that cost twenty or more
lives. The grand idea Of universal love
will spring from the red pool at the foot
Of the guillotine," wrote La Revolte at the
time.
Like their leader, the London Anarchist
press makes itself very scarce nowadays.
Most Of the papers seem TO have suspended
publication for the time being. and those
that do appear are very mild spoken. There
is international for instance, which
omits stating the location OF its Office or

this sheet regarded theft. robbery, murder
and arson as legal means" for getting
even with society. while the voice OF
chemistry must not go unheard." But to-
day it is merely a philosophical tract. Hear
its rawlings of the end OF August:
ITO accomplish the ruin OF our enemies
without danger to our own lives and limbs
we absolutely need chemicals. A few
wagonloads OF the right stuff will make it
possible for US to divide the riches of this
world which we have so long been de-
prived Of"
