Anarchists From All Countries
Gathering in Madrid for
Ferrer Day.

MADRID. Oct. 12-The Spanish gov
eminent today is making its final plans
20 stamp out with military force the
first signs Of the threatened uprising
tomorrow, -'Ferrer Day." the anniver-
sary of the execution of the teacher
and liberal leader.
That anarchists from all countries, in
Guiding many from America. lured by
the hope Of complete overthrow or law
and order, have come into Spain to
take advantage of the impending revolt
of republicans and allied forces against
the throne OF King Alfonso, was the
charge made today by Premier Cana
lejas.
The premier declared that American
anarchists have had an important part
in stirring up the unrest which today
holds Spain in a seething caldrOn, upon
the brink Of an outbreak which would
certainly deluge the country in blood,
and. perhaps, upset for a time the
peace Of portion Of Europe.
Expect Crisis Tomorrow.
That the crisis in SPANS internal troub-
les will come tomorrow in the general OBJ
servances Of the anniversary Of the exc
cution Of Ferrer, is admitted on all
sides today. The hot-bed OF sedltion,
according to past demonstrations and
tSe present opinions OF Premier Cana
lejas, is Barcelona. The severest meas
ures Of the crown have been directed
toward that point. General Weyler is
there with the flower Of the army.

respondents Premier Canalejas admit

In Barcelona troops patrolIed the
streets today in great numbers. Every
stringent precautiOn that had been
taken was doubled. No demonstrations
on the part of the people were allowed
republican flags were not allowed
shown, socialistiC meetings dispersed.
The premier spoke bitterly Of the ont
side influence upon the republicans and
nalcontents, particularly in Catalonia.
he declared that the agitation is beiDo

publican movement have offices in
Paris and London, and are assisted by

at the rate Of about one every FIVE or

Although she was firm in her convic-

taught 10 play the violin. and twice a
week she went to have a music lesson at
a house about a mile distant Once q
week she carried beside her violin case
and violin a package cunningly secreted
in the false bottom Of the violin case
which contained some twenty or more
pieces Of counterfeit coin.
The music master. a rogue who was IN
the know, found no difficulty in abstract
ing the package unnoticed by the child.

package this time being concealed in the
false bottom Of a canary cage Thus it
passed through six hands. and besides
the man himself only the music master
knew who manufactured the coin.
The tailor was caught by an unlucky
accident. His little girl let the violin
! case fall in the street. the bottom OF the
case was smashed and all the coins, done
UP in tissue paper. feu into the street
The child, much mystified. opened one Of
the little packages and the glitter caught
a policeman's eve. The mishap led to
the instant arrest Of the tailor, who con-
fessed. hoping for light sentence. a hope
which was not realized. Among the
coiner's stock in trade were discovered
two works on chemistry. fourteen molds.
two batteries, plaster of paris. two ladies.
a melting pot crucibles, and a quantity
Of chemicals.
Method of Manufacture.
In manufacturing coin the method Of
procedure is somewhat as follows: First
of all each coiner has his pattern piece,
which is. OF course, genuine. For metal
he uses solder, or better still. pewter pots
melted down. and Of necessity some sill
yer. or If he is a master hand he makes
coins Of three-quarter value or more.
The metal is poured into the cast, which
is then clamped together.
When set the coins are put on a rack.
which is electrified. and when sufficiently
charged they are immersed in a vat con-
tanning a solution Of cyanide of silver at
a fairly high temperature. They are in
fact electroplated. and the milling is done
not infreqnently with a penknife, which
requires very skilful operator.
The coins are then FURNISHED and some
times dirtied or rubbed. and when hn-
ished they are done up in paper and made
into bundles so as not to rattle. A wo-
man arrested on suspicion was found on
being searched to have no fewer than $50
spurious half crowns sewed up in her
skirt.
It Is very difficult indeed to detect bad
coin, but there is one infaHible test. IL
it bites grittily it is bad, II smoothly It
is genuine

and bad sewing believe a paying trade
might be worked up in cities where ready
made garments are sold at the stores.
Only In this case believe they would
have to be OF better material and perhaps
made by hand.
Last spring sold five handsome
handmade waists in a larger city after
they had been carried around several
times by my old colored woman. I had
priced them at So and sl5 each. but she
could find no purchasers at home because
Of the price. Later I sent them. along
with four cheaper waists, to the woman $

there are several stores handling ready

waists sold within a few days but at the
