SAYS Hugo Nallentin. the well
Known Scandinavian correspondent:
a great number of Russian and
Finnish revolutionists sought refuge in
Stockholm during and after the recent
upheaval in Russia. Many of these.
perhaps the majority. bearded and
long haired individuals of the foreign
type. which we have seen on our
streets during the last year have been
oonafde fugitives from the Russian
police. But doubtless some of them
have been rather questionable char
icters. Any doubt on that point has
been removed. A few mornings ago
Stockholm was disagreeably surprised
TO read in n of the morning papers
that the police had discovered a large
quantity Of dynamite and other ma
terials for bombmaking I'm the lodg-
lngs of two young workmen who be-
long to what may be called the an
archistic wing Of the socialist party
and who are known to be frequently
visited by fugitives from Finland and
Russia, and to have housed some OF
these at different times. One of these
young Swedes (they were brothers
named Larsson) was the author of a
little volume Of revolutionary poems
called the "SOngs of Hate" while the
other one had no other connection with
literature than being employed at a
book binders. One of the Firms who
visited them was a young man m
Ayman. who II o a pharmaceutist.
at all events had studied pharmacy in
Finland. This young man Che looks
quite a bow had been implicated In
several Of the late revolutionary move
ments in Finland, and as he was
wanted by the police he had found it
wiser to move to our ~hospitable shores.
He had been watched by the Stock
holm police a long time and when he
was arrested the other day-on sus-
picion, 1 suppose-on him were found
some rather discriminating notes and
correspondence, which seem to have
given the cue to the police where to
look for dynamite. A large posse OF
plain-clothes men entered the rooms
Of the LARSON brothers and ransacked
every corner. with the result men-
toned. The poet was arrested at once
and the brother was looked up at the
workshop where he is employed. hand
cuffed and brought away to the po-
lice station. Both denied all knowl-
edge Of the find and protested against
the arrest. They were detained for
some time and then allowed to go, but
their belongings were kept under sur
! veillance and made a kind of trap for
any suspicious character who might
call. In this way the police made
another very important capture. They

A writer to the London News says
that the Swedish government has
fostered the use of the telephone for a
number of years with such splendid
results that in some parts OF that
country the instrument is In more gen.
eral use than anywhere else in the
world. There is being introduced a
form of telephone transmitter so sensi-
tive that it is not necessary to talk di-
rectly into the mouthpiece. The new
design has a very large bell, which is
held anywhere in the vicinity, but not
directly at the mouth.
