Slowing TO the peculiar conditions pre-

Island of Mindanao, the Philippine Com
mission has about decided to organize a
departmental government covering all Of
the islands south of the Visayas.
A uniform general provincial law is i'm

in these local contests. This was due to
the fact that full state ticket Is to be

bers of the Legislature, who will choose
successor to Senator Foraker. In u few
localities legislative nominations were
made by popular vote. None showed any
opposition to Foraker among the Repub-

JOHANN MOST ARRESTED
As A SUSPICIOUS PERSON.
THE NOTORIOUS ANARCHIST TAKEN
INTO CUSTODY IN
NEW ORK
AN INCENDIARY EDITORIAL
IN THE FREIHEIT, ORGAN OF
ANARCHY. BASIS OF THE
COMPLAINT.

NEW YORK, September 12%.-Johann
Most, the most widely known of New
York anarchists, and editor of the Fret
heit, the organ of the anarchists, was ar
rested tonight by Central office detect
ives Knarch and Ferneisen.
The arrest was made in a saloon over
which are the Offices of the newspaper.
Herr Most objected volubly to the arrest,
but to no purpose. and he was locked up
at police headquarters as "a suspicious
person"
Captain Titus refused to allow Most to
see any one or to make a statement, the
captain declaring he would not allow the
prisoner to pose as a martyr before the
public.
The complaint against Most, which COW
ers five and one-half typewriter sheet, s
is based on and quotes in full an editorial
which Most printed in the Freitheit on
September I. The editorial reads in part:
THE greatest of all follies in the world
is the belief that there can be a crime
against despots and their accomplices.
Such a belief is in itself a crime. Des-
pots are outlaws; they are in human
shape what the tiger is among beasts. To
spare them is a crime. AS despots make
use of everything, treachery, poison, MUIR
der. etc, SO everything should be en-
ployed against them"
