The Injunction Is an Ingenious device to make the employers' cause appear to be the cause of law and order. If the em ployes by some miracle should get the In junction machinery on their side first the situation would be substantially reversed. Injunctions are dangerous playthings. Santo , the assassin of President Carnet , Is objecting to the rigors of his Imprison ment at Lyons. Prendcrgast , It Is to b'o F noted , la not complaining about his ac i commodations.

It Is not the function of the regular army to pollco the entire country. The duty devolves exclusively upon tha several states. As to protecting our territory from Invasion by foreign foes It 1ms been doing very well for years past and will find all necessary assistance af forded by volunteers should the occasion demand. A Colorado clergyman elaborating on the beauties ot woman suffrage as nvlnced by the experiment In that state says that ho visited all tha nlno polling places In the town where ho resides and In only one was the tobacco smoke disagreeable enough to bo noticeable. And this , ho asserts , will be prevented by the women next time. At last wo have the mission of the woman suffragists clearly defined. It Is to clear the polling places ot disagreeable tobacco smoke. Danish tobacco smoke and the reason for the woman suffrage movement will have disappeared. So long as the polling placet ot Colorado remain Infected with tobacco mnoko the experiment with woman suffrage must bo regarded as only partially successful. K T1IK IIAIMIOAH STUIKK. The railroad strike lias reached propoi tlona ( hat threaten to engulf the country I civil war. The American people demand tin It bo settled speedily. There can be r permanent settlement of the conflict betwce the railroads and their operatives until It settled right. The duties , privileges an rights of each must bo defined by law , Pul tic carriers , whether on land or ea , ahoul be under governmental control and supcrv lion. Their operatives should bo enrollc like soldiers and sailors , and strikes on put lie highways should be as rare as mutlnli In our army or navy. So long as the rallroa employes remain subject to the caprice ( managers and bosses and their services ma be dispensed with on short notice or no nt tlce , and their wages cut down arbltrarll without reference to faithfulness , olllclcnc and life-long service , they necessarily mui band together for mutual protection. Th only weapon they have for redressing grle\ ances and abuses Is the strike , and thu means anarchy on the public highways. Th ! Is a condition that calls for statesmansh ! rather than force ot arms. The present strike can be put dawn I twenty-four hours If congress nnd the proV dent would do their duty to the CJiintn They can and should call a halt and a true to hostilities on both sides by an aj.pe : to the railway employes nnd railway n.ann gcra to negotiate conditions under whlc the railroads can be operated with safet to the public and satisfaction to owners an employes. The continuance of the candle between the railroads and their employe Is a crime against the nation. It endanger public safety and Is a menace to our fori of government. It Is not a question now whether the strlk Is right or wrong , but whether this countr shall be Mexlcanizcd by periodic , bloody en counters on the public highways. Puttln down the strike by force of arms and In dieting pains and penalties upon the striker will not settle the ever-recurring conflict between railroads and their operatives. I the railroad managers win the fight It wl ! be renewed , perhaps with more destructlv tendency , before flve years roll 'round. I the strikers win the railroad managers wll be subject to the menace of periodic tie-up whenever they refuse or fall to comply wltl demands of the railway unions. In cither case the public Is the prlnclpa sufferer. The people pay the bills In hlghe rates than they could get If railways wer secure from disturbance. It Is now for th government. Including congress and the ex ecutlvo , to grapple with this grave problem Its solution must be sought through mutua concessions , government supervision am compulsory arbitration. NK IXVITIID 'JO AMERICA. Some time ago a movement was begui to Induce Mr. Gladsone to vl.'lt the Unltet States , and It has now taken definite fern In an Invitation sent to the eminent Engllsl statesman signed by Vice President Steven son , Chief Justice Fuller , senators , repre sontatves : In congress and a number o prominent citizens. The Invitation refen to the beneficent Influence of the long am brllllint ccurse of Mr. Gladstone , and ex presses the desire to contribute In BOIW measure to his happiness during the sea BOH of rest that Is before him. It assure him that his presence In America wouli bo regarded ns an honor by our people , am promises that If ho shall accept the Invlta tlon every provision will be made to In sure him the utmost comfort In all re spects , with entire freedom from Intruslot of every kind upon his privacy. "Yoi would be , " reads the Invitation , "our guesl from the moment of leaving your homf until your return , which would bo , wo trust with a new lease of life and Increased powei for Its enjoyment. " The coming autumr Is the time suggested for the visit. Mr. Gladstone has many times said thai It would be a pleasure to him to visit till : country , but to the numerous assurance : ho has received that the American people would accord him n most cordial welcome and show him the distinguished considera tion duo to his eminent place among the greatest statesmen the world has known , ho has uniformly replied that ho could not see his way clear to come to the Unlteil States. True , that was when he was ac tively engaged In political affaln and It seemed necessary that he should bo almost continually at the post of duty. It Is pos sible that ho may feel different now that he has bid aside the carea and labor of lead ership and proposes to rest during the re maining years of hU life from the turmoil nnd strife of politics. At the end of his present term In parliament Mr. Gladstone will retire from public life , and after that the world will hear from him only through the medium of his pen , for undoubtedly he will still give his countrymen the benefit ol tils wisdom and his counsel. But the fact that ho desires and needs rest may operate io deter him from accepting an Invitation to visit the United States , which ho knows ; hat , despite any arrangements which might ho made , would compel him to be exceedingly ictlvo while hero , for certainly no other llv- ng man would have greater attention and loners paid him by the American people ; han would bo accorded to William Uwart [ Hailstone , If ho should attempt to see Miy considerable part of this country ho could lot avoid the popular ovations which would uvorywhere bo extended to him , nnd If ho wore to endeavor to respond to all the Invita tions that would bo extended to him by com- nunllfes desiring to do htm honor , he would Hnd his time fully occupied and the demand upon his energies greater than that over mposed by the most exacting of political campaigns. Vet , If ho ixuno here , he would feel under obligation to respond to as many } f these Invitations as possible. When It Is considered that Mr. Gladstone s In his 85th year , and that for more than mlf a century ho has been one of the most ictlvo of European statesmen , It Is easy to understand that ho may regard a visit to Iho United State * as Involving a greater requisition upon his physical powers than It would bo prudent to subject them to. Un- loubtedly ho would find great gratification n seeing for himself the greatness of this : ountry , the distinctive features of Its de velopment , and the peculiar energy and en- crprUo ot Its people. As the friend ot free nstltutlons and the admirer of the great opubllc , Mr. Gladstone would undoubtedly Ind hero much to please him. But at his line ot Ufa men do not care a great deal for hla sort of gratification , and their dlsposl- Jon Is to avoid , rather than to seek , demon strations of popular honor and homage. Mi Gladstone knows his place In the oplnloi and the consideration ot the civilized wnrM and ho doubtless understands that , cxcvp his own countrymen , no people hold him I ; so great esteem as the people of the Unltci States. It Is not necessary that ho shout come here In order to demonstrate that , fo evidence ot It Is not lacking. While , there fore , the Invitation extended to the Illus trlous English statesman by no many dl tlngulshed Americans Is a most graccfu compliment to the "grand old man , " whlcl undoubtedly he wilt heartily appreciate , It I not at all probable that tt will bo accepted It Involves too many possibilities ot dangc to the declining physical energies nt th VLtoran statesman. LAST Of TlIK I'OSTAl , XOTK. With the beginning ot the new fiscal yea last week the postal note mad Its exit from among the num ber of conveniences afforded by th postal system of the United States , am although the place Is to be supplied by tin new money order , It will doubtless bi missed , at least until the public become ) thoroughly acquainted with the substitute The postal note made Us first appearanci In September , 1883 , having been nulhorlzet by law as an experiment to facilitate thi transmission of small turns of mone ] through the malts. It was limited to de nominations of $5 or less , and Issued a the uniform price of 3 cents. In the elevci years that It has been In use It has under gone several modification ! . Its form lia : been changed mere than once. U wai from the first made payable to bearer ot presentation at any money order olllce. Bj the law of 18S7 It was made Isstiable bu not payable at all postofflccs. For the po rlod 1383-i the postal note was Issued cnlj ten months , but for the fiscal year 1884- ! the number Issued was 5,058,287 of the tola value of J3.99G.27-I.37 , an Increase of ovei H per cent over what the volunu of business would have been the prevloui year had the postal note been Issued the en tire twelve months. The extension of tin use of the postal note has slnco been falrlj regular , although the average sum for whlcl It was Issued , which was at drst $2.01 , liai steadily decreased by a few cents each year That Is to say the postal note has been utll Ized more and more for the transmission o the smallest sums that are sent by mall. The objections to the postal note In Iti perfected condition were summed up In UK last annual report of Postmaster Genera Wanatnaker In the word "Insecurity. " Tin postal note which was Issued In sums les : than $5 , payable to bearer at any monoj order odlce , required neither written appll cation nor the secret advice , and balng there' fore less expensive to the department could bo Issued for a smaller fee than the monej order. But while there were certainly som < advantages In this It lacked the security ol the money order , which is payable only te a designated person after Identification at c designated odlce. The postmaster general suggested as a remedy for this Insecurltj that the form of the postal note bo altered so as to permit the sender to Insert the name of the payee. The same object Is to be secured by the new money order which Is te supplant the postal noto. Tiie new money order is printed In the same style as the postal nolo and , whllo Issued and paid as ol old , Is to be had at a much reduced schedule of fees , the charge for , orders for sums of less than $2'.50 being ' 3t cents and for' sums ol from $2.50 to $5 being 5 cents. Since the greater number of postal notes Issued an nually were for sums of less than $2 the expense will be about the same and the se curity considerably greater. Having the new money order as a sub stitute , few people will regret the departure of the postal note. The postal note , however , has served a very useful and honorable ca reer. It has been the means of expanding the business of the postofllce by enabling people to send small sums of money by mall at reasonable rates. It has been really a pioneer In developing among the people the habit of patronizing the postofdce when they wish to transmit money. This habit will persist , although transferred to the new money order , which will thus secure the benefit of the missionary work which the postal note has done. tr VAUKS. The house committee on military affairs has reported favorably the bill to establish a national military park on the battlefield ot Shlloh. If this measure passes there will be four of the great battlefields of the re bellion dedicated to this purpose Gettysburg , Antlctnm , Chlckamauga and Shlloh. The bill for making the deld ot Shlloh a national park provides an Initial appropriation of $150- 000 , which Is a greater sum than has been given to > both Gettysburg and Antletam. The former , which was the scene of perhaps the greatest battle of the war , has received but one appropriation , $25,000 , for preserving the lines of battle , erecting tablets , etc. It Is proposed , however , In the pending sundry civil appropiatlon bill , to allow $50,000 for Gettysburg. The battlefield of Antletam has not fared so well. In 1892 congress appro priated $16,310 for surveying , locating and preserving the lines of battle of the army of the Potomac and the army of Northern Vir ginia at the -battle of Antletam , which amount , proving Insufficient for the purpose , was Increased In 1893 by the addltbn of $15,000. Doubtless when this work Is com pleted further appropriations will be made to maintain that battlefield as a military > ark. As to Gettysburg a great deal has ) oen done to preserve it for future gener ations by the combined efforts of the dif ferent union commands which fought there , the Gettysburg Memorial association and state appropriation. It should be , and doubt- ess will bs , made a national military park , though Its preservation as historic ground s assured without this. Strictly speaking , the only national mili tary park at this tlmo Is that of Chlcka- nauga , for which congress has appropriated since 1890 $575,000 , and Is now proposing an additional appropriation of $75,000. If the Shlloh bill passes It will give a second great military park to Tennessee , and tt has been suggested that congress may not be disposed to establish two such parks In that state whllo putting off the scenes of the army of the Potomac conflicts with tablets. But It It bo admitted ( hat the bat- lolleld of Shlloh ought to be thus preserved I Is not a valid objection that there Is an other military park In the same stato. Cer tainly the battle of Shlloh was ono of the nest Interesting of the war , and It has been the subject of many conflicting accounts , There. WON great commanders on either nlde , and bath sides displayed great valor. The battlefield Is described ua an unsightly tract of land covering some 3,000 acres , llt tlo changed since the days of the battle , but unmarked and neglected and affording to the visitor llttlo knowledge as to the course of the conflict. That U bliould bo taken car ? ot as ono ot the memorable scenes of the war does not admit of question , Tb transformation of the more Important battlefields of ' of the rebellion Int national mltlUrr park * nnd their propc maintenance by fhi government will be ap proved by all t ij jcan appreciate the Influ dice which tlxpe historic scenes must excr upon the pitrfntlrfm of the people. Th value they poMctb' . In this respect will no be Impaired byn time , and what they lead of American heroltiii will bo more potcn than the rccltal91Jbf history. ' SCHOOL TKAQIUlill Al'l'llKXTICKSllll' . In an article in'llnrpcr's Magazine , mos suggestive In nior < ? ways than one , gtvlni ' ' "An Australian's ! Impressions of America , ' Miss C. II. Spence Illustrates the oxtraordl nary versatility of the American people b ; citing the manner In which school tcachlni leads to all professions nnd all avocations li this country. The writer Is struck with th fact that so many people teach school whll walling for something more attractive ti turn up and that so many have proved sue ccssful In using school teaching as a prc tlmlnary to some other occupation. This she says , Is almost unknown In England am Australia. "There the young men and maid ens go Into the public schools as a professloi through the apprenticeship of pupil teachers not oaf a stepping stone to something hlghe ; or mare prodtable. The young women mai marry and leave tt , but It they remain slngli and keep their health they continue theli work In the schools. " So far as the schools are concerned , Mis : Spence admits that America gains by the ad mission ot so much new blood of the bes kind Into her educational body , but she alsi Insists that she loses a great deal In tin wisdom of experience. The now recruit li school teaching brings with him much youth ful energy and enthusiasm. At the sami time ho views his labors merely as temporary ary a view that does not conduce to tin most careful work. A good teacher Improve : all through her career , but experience ! teachers nre next to an Impossibility undei the American system that Imposes on womci the bulk of the- school teaching. Accordln ( to Miss Spence , nowhere In the world liai the teaching ot the people been thrown lnt < the hands of women as In America and no where Is the average term of service so short The effect of this upon the people whc graduate from this school teaching appren tlceshlp Into the home , or Into the varloiu professions Is not alluded to In the article but that It does Its work fairly well Is to b < gathered from the remark that wherevei the author has traveled she has fount teachers present and teachers past , the lat ter In most unexpected quarlers , In th ( church , In law , In medicine , In every pro- fcsslon. She might have added that formei teachers are also found In every departmenl of the public Service , " on the bench , In the legislature , In congress , In the cabinet , a ; well as several times In the president's chad itself. What kind of housewives ant ! mothers the women'teachers make Is not o matter of puljllc ( record ] , but It Is unllkolj that they are more unfitted for their domestic duties by their experience In the school room than they would bo had they spent the same time at a typewriter or behind a bar gain counter. The school teachers probably gain more by 'their apprenticeship than the ' pupils. , < A. W. Fairbanks ! jfor many years a news paper publisher 'and widely known In that connection , dlbd In Boston last Tuesday. Mr. Fairbank | 'jvas , born In New Hamp shire and learned the printing trade , In which ho was very proficient. Ills first newspaper connection was with the De troit Advertiser , and later he was publisher of the Toledo Blade. Forty-four years ago he became ono of the proprietors of the Cleveland Herald and continued as the publisher of that paper until 1878 , when ho disposed of It and retired from the news paper business , though continuing his con nection with printing. A few years ago he gave up all business and removed from Cleve land to Omaha , remaining In this city a couple of years , when he removed to Boston. Whllo In Omaha Mr. Fairbanks made n number of friends who will regret to hear ol his death. He was a successful pub lisher and a man of excellent business abil ity and sterling Integrity. Ho was a most companionable man , and to his friends , of whom ho had a host , faithful and generous. No one who had his confidence was ever refused a favor 'or a kindness that ho could grant. HU business career ot more than halt a century was active and useful , and the memorials of his personal worth live In the hearts of all who enjoyed Intimate re lations with him. One of the flrs.t results of the present railroad strike , no matter what Its Im mediate outcome may bo , Is bound to be a renewed agitation for government owner ship of railroads. The first evidence of this Is to be found In the resolution already Introduced by Senator Allen Into the senate calling for the appointment of a committee to consider the advisability and necessity of government ownership of railroads. Senator Allen has not committed himself to the policy of publicly owned railroads , but It Is plain that ho Is seriously thinking of It In case no other solution to the present diffi culties Is presented. The agitation ot the question must necessarily receive some Im petus outside the halls of congress. The strike threatens to make the problem of government ownership ot railroads ono of the near future Instead ot merely the oretical disquisition.

FALLS CITY , Neb , , July 7.-Spcclnl t Tlio Bee. ) Morgan 0'IIrlcii , formerly o this city , and 0110 of a party which lei Ytitna early In April for San Francisco , vl Guaymas , on a sloop , arrived nt Yuina Ina week. Two of the parly nre roporicil klllei ilttrltiK the expedition by Indians iitu O'Hrlen hns sent the following story to hi relatives here : " \Vo arrived at KroshVatcr bay , nt th north end of Tlburon Island , about 3 o'clocl on the afternoon of May 25 , nml cast audio about 100 yards from the beach. 1 had beci very sick for three weeks , and , while bet tcr , was still barely able to stand on in ; feet. Cowcll had left us at Angel do Gliardla bay and gone direct to Ouayni.is. "Iloblnson , Logan and Clark lowered on small boat and went ashore to look fo water , ns our supply was very poor In < iual Ity. Near where wo anchored they found t camp of Eomo thirty Indians , besides squaw : and children. Ono of the old Indian : claimed to bo the chief and had a papoi from Some Mexican government olllclal a Hcrmoalllo , which stated that Don 1'oiln Garcia , the bearer , was chief of the Cerli Indians and that any one desiring to ge water or to hunt on the Island must firs obtain permission from him. "Our parly asked him If there was anj good water there , to which he replied tha there was a spring on the beach near by After talking with him and others for sonu time the parly returned lo the sloop. "During the afternoon a dozen or llfteei of the Indians came on board. We gavi them some Hour , tobacco and other thing : and they returned to the island. After sup per our party. , except myself , went nslion and watched the Indians dance and sngagt In other amusements until late at night. "About 7 o'clock the next morning. Maj 20 , the party returned to the Island , Kobln son and Logan taking their rifles and Clarl his revolver. The two former were huntliif for u deer , of which the old chief said then weru a great many. After they had gem Clark came bark to the sloop , but soon re' turned to the shore. The Indians asked lilir to loan them our boat that they might catel a turtle. He consented , and four Indian ! went down the beach about 300 yards ami landed , two of them getting out and stand Ing near by , while the other two sat still It the boat. HAILED IJY THE CHIEF. "I lay down In the cabin , and had hardlj done so before I heard three rltle shots about , as It seemed , a halt mlle away. At soon as the chief heard the shots he seemoc wonderfully well pleased , and said to Clark 'They have got a deer , n big btiror deer let's you and I go down and clean out the spring so that you can have some good , fresh water when you go. ' "As Clark looked up he saw the four In dians Jump Into the boat and pull for the sloop. When I heard the shots I got tir and called to Clark , who was within speak ing distance. 'I do not like the looks ol things. You had better come on board.1 I took my double-barreled shotgun , slipped Into It two cartrlges loaded with buckshot , and placed my revolver on the deck within reach. "At this Juncture I motioned to the In dians to get Clark , who was calling them , but they gave no heed. He told mo not to let them come near the sloop , and I called to them to stop , but on they came. I leveled my gun on them and yelled to them to stop. They did so , and turning went to whore Clark was standing , landed the boat and Jumped ashore. As they did so he jumped Into the boat and pulled off to the sloop. "While this was transpiring we heard fifteen to twenty shots not more than 300 yards away and heard Logan shouting for help , The last words we heard were , 'Oh , George,1 which Is Clark's first name. Clark called again and again to Logan , but got no response. "Clark hauled In the anchor and , taking a pole , pushed the shop past the point so that we could look down the Island toward where wo heard Logan's call. All we saw was seven or eight Indians on the run over tha sandhills. "When the second volley was fired the old chief , women and children fled over the hill. The four who had been In the boat al.o ran We lay as near the shore as we dared , calling for Logan. "For two days w6 lay near by , but never saw a sign ot either Indian or white man. My opinion Is that the Indians had planned to murder us. When Iloblnson and Logan went hunting the Indians lay In ambush. Iloblnson , I think , was killed In the flrU volley , but Logan ran on until he was shot by the second party of Indians In hiding , The old chief Intended to get Clark down to the spring and murder him , whllo the four In the boat would do away with me. " O'imiEN'S TALK WITH A FIIIEND. While In Yumu In April this year , Mr. W. E. Dorrlngton of this city met Morgan O'Hrlon and O'Hrlen Informed him at the time that arrangements weru being perfected for a trip down the Gulf of California In a small scow or boat about twelve feet by eighteen feet. Mr. Dorrlngton also met the other members of the party , viz : Robinson , Logan and Clark , and all were making rapid preparations to move. It seems that some fear was expressed at the tlmo to O'Urlen that some danger would be cncountcrd on such a voyage and possibly ho would lose his life , but he Jokingly answered that u fellow illdn't have but one tlmo to die. Morgan O'Hrlen was born In Peterboro , Canada , about thirty-three years ago. Ills parents removed to Richardson county In 1872 and ho had lived In Falls City over since until about six years ago , at which tlmo he went to California on a prospecting lour. There are quite n'number of old Falls City residents located In Yuina , principally J. W , Dorrlngton , now editor of thu Yumu Sentinel , and It Is supposed O'Drlon settled lown thcro after roaming around for awhile. O'llrlen's father la now 'residing near riall'H postofllce , Old. Ills uncle , Morris O'Hrlen , and cousin , Mrs. T. J. McKlcvor , reside In this city and are willing to be- llevo the Htory related above , ns O'Urlen was always considered trustworthy. A number 3f acquaintances of O'Hrlen all say that his word was always taken as authentic and . onM lie rolled upon , and wo Judge from this the above story can bo rolled upon. John TUrlen , night watch at Stella , this county , Is a brother of O'llrlen. H. E. L. Iloblnson , the second member of the party , and ono of thouo reported killed , kvas a newspaper man. Ho had been con nected as a reporter with the press of Snn Francisco and St. Louis , and ho claimed his : iomo was InTexas. . Somn hero seem to loubt that Iloblnson Is killed , and bcllevo t Is only a ruse to get some Individual lotorlety , but O'Hrlon's story seems to bo ill right. James Logan , the other ono re- mrlcd killed , was a miner , and had lived tear Yumii for some time , but was ot a ovlng disposition. George Clark of Flaven , a < * ho calls hlm- ief | , Is a hunter and trapper. He Is from California , but has been on the Colorado Ivor for two or three years. When O'Hrlen left Guaymas General Luis 5 , Torres , commanding the northwest do- > artment ot Mexico , had ordered fifty sol- llers to go by steamer from Cluaymas to rihuron , and 100 cavalry from Hormoslllo iverland to a point opposite thu Island , where i tuir will meat and carry them over the : hannol. which at one place In only a mile vide. The matter will be thoroughly Inves- Igatcd by General Torres , and If the Coris ire guilty they will be severely punished. : iark will go with tlm troops from Quay- naa. _ HI.lHTt > I'HOM 1M.V.S HOItff.

ANAROIIY'3 MODERN RECORD. Itomiirkiililr Activity of tlm l > c' tniotliml li In tlm 1'ri'iirli Capital. The activity ot the anarchists In Parli during the lust two or throe years has been nlirost Incessant and has resulted In many attempts to kill public men by means of bomb explosions. Though few people lmv been seriously Injured by these attempts In comparison with the posslbllllles of death from the dangerous explosives thrown In much frequented places , great excitement and uneasiness hove been caused In th public mind In I'arls , and severe measures have been adopted by the French govern ment and the I'arls police against Ilia anarchists. The desperate nature ot tha anarchistic conspiracy , says the New York Tribune , has been shown by the quick mic- cession In which murderous plots have bten carried Into execution In the face of tlm vigorous measures ot repression and tha relentless application of the legal penalties to the pcrpetrnlors whenever they have been caught. Some of the most striking of the murderous attempts of the anarchist * have been as follows : An explosion which wrecked the first and second floors of the house of M. Heiiolt , 130 Boulevard St. Germain , occurred on March II , 181)2. It was caused by a dynamite cartridge. Great damage was dona lo the house ; ono man , n valet , was wounded , but only slightly. M. Ucnolt was iho magistrate who tried Decamps , an anarchist , In 18'Jl , for alUcklng two police onicers. . U was after ward shown that this was ono of a scries of outrages planned by the anarchists against magistrates and other officers of the gov ernment who had taken part In bringing anarchists to Justice. The chief Instigator of these crimes was discovered by the pollco to be one Francois Claudius Konlgstcln , known as llavachol , a man who Imd been concerned In other crimes before. HURLING DYNAMITE. The house of the public prosecutor , M. Hulot , In the Hue Cllehy , was the scene of a dynamite explosion on March 27 , which was aimed against M. llulot's lite , but ha escaped unharmed. Seven other persons were Injured , however , and the house It self was wrecked. It was opanly avowed at this time that the anarchists hnd de- teimined to blow up the house of any Judge or prosecutor who helped to send anarchists to prison. On March 29 there was another explosion , this time In the building of the Credit ' Lycnnalso , one of the largest banking houses In I'arls. Two persons were Injured. An explosion occurred on March 15 In the Lobati barracks In Paris , occupied by the Republican guard , adjoining the Hotel do Vllle. H was duo to a dynamite cartridge pieced In the mess room. Fortunately none. of the guards were killed. llavachol , who was subsequently tried , sentenced to death anil guillotined , was arresled by the pollco on March 30 , In the cafe of M. Very , corner of Hns Lancry and the Boulevard Magenta. On April 20 this cafe was blown up by a terrific explosion of. dynamite. Ten persons were seriously In jured. M. Very had been In receipt ot threatening letlers from anarchists slnco Ravuchol was arrested there , In which ho was warned that he and Ills establishment were marked for destruction. The ex plosion , coming so soon utter those of thu Houlevurd St. Geinmln and the Rue Cllehy , added to the great excitement nml uneasi ness prevalent In Paris , and caused re newed measures of severity to bo adopted by the Paris police. Other anarchists ar rested at the same tlmo for complicity In these outrages were Charles Achello Simon , Jno Ueala , Charles Chaumnrtln anil a young girl , Rosalie Souberc. A BOMU AMONG THE DEPUTIES. The most alarming of the recent attempts of the Parla anarchists was the throwing ot the bomb In the Chamber of Deputies whllo It waa In session , on December ! ) , 1893. This was the work ot Angusto Valllant. The usual number of deputies were present , and p'ubllo business was under consideration , when Valllant , who occupied a seat In the gallery , threw a bomb upon the floor of the house , which exploded with a terrific report. No DUO was killed , but a largo number of the deputies and several of the spectators In the gallery were Injured , more or less seriously , jy flying fragments of the bomb ; great dam- ige was also done to the Chamber Itselt. Valllant was arrested and confessed his : rlme , saying that his object was the death if M. Dupuy. Ho was tried , sentenced to leath , and was guillotined a few weeks ater. Twenty-four persons were wounded on February 12 , this year , by a bomb explosion n the cafe of the Hotel Terminus , nt the Jt. Lozaro railroad station , Paris. The cafe vns well filled when , about 9 o'clock In the ivenlng , a young man came In , drank a glass if wine at a table , then rose and , taking 'rom ' his pocket p. bomb , threw It toward a jroup of people at a neighboring table , The > omb hnd been filled with bullets and bits ot ron , and the scattering of these caused nest of the wounds. In the dense smoke vltli which the room was filled for three ir four minutes after the explosion , the lonib-throwcr made his escape to the street. Three policemen saw him running and pur- ucd him , commanding him to stop. Ills eply wan to halt nml to lire II vo shots at hem , ono bullet striking Policeman Polsson , ntllctlng a mortal wound. The other two lollccmen , with the assistance ot a waiter , ! ucceedcd In grappling with and overpower- ng the bonibthrower. At the station the cllow , who at first called himself Leon lire- on , but whoso name was soon ascertained o bo Emllo Henry , said : "Yes , I am an jiarchlst , and the more of the bourgeolso I 11 led the better It would plcaso mo ! " HORN TO CRIME. It was learned that this young anarchist , fhoso father had been a colonel of the Com- iiuno , had been graduated from the Sor- onno In thu department of science , having , -on a state medal. Two years before the utrugo at the Hotel Terminus he began o dovota most of his tlmo to writing for narchLt papers. Ho was arrested after the ! afo Very explosion , but was released two ays later. Ho had coino to Paris from , end on a month before throwing thu bomb n the cafo. Incited by Henry'H crime , the pollco hroughout Franco mode raids In February n the dwellings of anarchists , many of . horn were arrested. Henry was placed on his trial In the Seine * > sslzo3 on April 27 , and was convicted and entcnced to death the next night. Ho hawed much bravado ami maila many flip- ant Interruptions In the course of the trial , Ho was guillotined early on the morning f May 1.
