the Pennsylvania Railroad detective
force.-and Lieut.. Harry f. Buckley, Of

vania Railroad, have arrived here with
Hartford Upshur, the negro who was ar
rested Tuesday morning at Birds Nest,
Va. charged with being implicated in the
murder Of Detective Harry II. Boon near
Perryvile ON the night of June 30 The
prisoner is locked up In a separate cell
in the county jail here.
There are now four negroes in the jail
charged with the crime namely, Charles
Mccormick. Thomas Williams. Robert
Wilson and Hartford uOshur. The fifth
negro. Elmer johnson. was also arrested
at Birds Nest, Va, and will be brought
here.
The authorities are confident that the
negro who did the shooting is Robert
Wilson. who was arrested at Camden
Station. Baltimore, last week. Upshur
declares that Wilson did the shooting
and he Is substantiated by another one
of the gang. According to the authori-
ties. not only did Wilson shoot the de-
tective, but he also robbed him. When
Wilson was arrested in Baltimore he
had on him a 3s-caliber revolver, the
same kind that Detective Boon was
known to have had. The officers here
believe that 1t was Boon's weapon thai
they found in Wilson's possession-ir
fact. they expect to be able TO have the
revolver Identified as that Of the dead
officers.
Sometime next week the negroes will
be given a hearing, when all WILL nc

tember grand jury.
Before Detective Boon became uncon-
scious he told his attendant while or

negro who shot him was the largest ono

The Refuae Of Anarchy.

nc 0cIu9c OF Anarchy
Washington Herald.
Curious paradox as 1t may seem, no one
will deploro the anarchist crime in Lon
don, the killing Of no,nver of the
British government by a Iindoo anarch-
ist, more than the anarchists themselves.
London, handy to all the capitals Of Eu-
rope, easy TO reach and easy 70 get away
from, has for many years been the leading
resort Of the anarchists Of the world
Here the Russian nihilist, the Armenian
revoluuonist, the German agitator-all the
people rightly or wrongly dissatisfied with
their own governments-have found haven
and freedom, not only to push their pecu-
liar propaganda. but even to organize their
campaigns Of crime.
Because Of the freedom OF the laws Of
England which have guaranteed these. an
archists have been careful. even among
themselves, TO maintain such good bcha-
vior as would prevent any extreme meas
ures being taken against them. IL is esti-
mated by tho London police that there
are now resident In London over 5000 an

this or that schedule Some OF the Democratic
leaders openly rcpudiated the stand their party
had taken at the Denver Convention. They de
cared that they would not be bound by it, The
Democratic friendliness for the tariff came from
representatives of the Southern States. In the
past these States have had the free traders.
Naturally those Democrats who have sup
ported the free trade doctrine, or at least the
very low tariff doctrine have been dsmayed by
the attitude OF the Democratic leaders. Their
dissatisfaction has resulted in an agitation for
the forming OF new party on a tariff idea As
near free trade as is possible to get. Those per-.
sons behind this movement are chiefly of the
old Gold Democratic faction They hold that if
the Democratic party is to approach protection
as doctrine there must be new party TO take
up the idea that the Democratic party has aban-
doned
There seems to be little doubt that the Demo
cratic Senators from the South will veer more
and more to the tariff notion. The South has
developed industrially during recent years, and
coincdent with that development have come the

tives in larger numbers than ever 1t seems
probable then that the Democratic party will
be as much divided in the near future over the
tariff question as it was during the stirring free
silver times of few years ago.
party with very low tariff ideas as a cor
ner stone would not be likely to gain many fol-
lowers. The difference in the future parties will
probably be on radical and conservative lines
with regard TO the many problems that win be
before the country.
Many of those who might join a party that
had lower tariff as the chief plank of its plat
form would balk at so-called radical planks that
others would wish to insert.

Low TARIFF PARTY.

Il NIDENCES are seen everywhere Of con-

able number of Republicans in the House re-
fused to support the bill. 1t is certain that the
measure as it comes from conference will be
much more satisfactory to the country than the
plain Adrich bill would be.
But if there are signs of unrest among the Re

powerful element OF the Democrats with the
