| London, Sept. 16.-Not Americans
in London merely, but Britishers as
we'll, are heartsick and are simply
stricken with grief over the death of
the president. Never did an anarchist
outrage cause a greater thrill of horror
and real heartfelt sympathy than has
the dastardly attack on President Nc
kinley. Never was there so much
IanNiety and easerness to learn the
progress of the eminent patient, when
it was thought he could live.
1t has been simply remarkable how
Widespread turnout the kingdom has
been the feeling. Even now every day
sympathy and indignation, and the de-
sire TO do something to wipe out these
enemies of society, the anarchists. from
smallest local authorities and the nlu-
nicipal bodies of the smallest towns
as their meetings come around. Such
Widespread expressions speak for
them selves.
Now what change, The terrible
news struck a chill TO the heart of
everybody. The shock WAS all the
greater from the fact that the sudden
relapse came when everybody's mind
had been set almost at rest, and there
was even talk OF Il day of thanksgiving
for the deliverance of the president
from such Il tragic death.
Another question now is will the
r(,I-e MT
preston of public feeling that some
thing must be done for the suppression
of anarchism. or will it prove Just a
fash in the pan, as has been the case
on previous occasions when life has
been threatened or taken, or when a
dynamite outrage has thrown the
world into a ferment?
one thing may be said: On this oc-
casion everybody seems more in earnest
that something must be done to stamp
out anarchy if possible, tho, as an am
archist is reported to have said to a
newspaper reporter the other day.
Stamp us out. fools! You may stamp
out men, hut you can't stamp out ideas.
The idea of anarchy will always live
1t may or may not be known that
there is no greater harbor for anarch-
lists in the world than London, their
chief resorts being the foreign cafes in
Soho and Leicester square. There is
also small fraternity in Whitechapel,
chiefly competed of Russian Jews.
There they meet in q place called Lib
erty Hall to discuss their plans.
Ask that well-known detective. In
spector Melville and he will tell you
that there are in London more than L.
500 people who may be classed under the
head of anarchists. Tho they are not
quite all members of the federation, they

engineers, watchmakers, tailors and
bootmakers.
The organization, in Inspector Mel
ville's opinion, is most defective. When
the notorious Garcia withdrew from the
business and began to be suspected by
other anarchists collective action almost
ceased. Then came the days of Rava-

anarchism in London. Yet there is per-

Nearly every anarchist. however. who

Of this. 1t will be remembered that
Sipdo's attack on the king, when he
was prince of Wales, met with the
sternest disapproval of the anarchist

neighborhood of Southampton Row.
For the same reason very little fear is

London, Sept. 16.-The Dead March

English churches yesterday while the
worshipers reverently stood and honored

Westminster Abbey was an exception to
