The polico have for some timo past had the majority of the rank and file of the anarchists in custody, but the most dangerous leaders of those pests of so- ciety have n several cases succeeded in eluding the polico.

The nolice frequently came upon his trail, but French seemed to be well in- formed 4 to the movements of his pursuors and frequently escaped when they were about to place hands upon him. This series of almost miraculous cscapes made the po- lico think that anarchists must have somo means of ovtaining information of tho move- ments and plans of the authorities, Desperately Vioton When taken before the magistrate, the demeanor_of tho prisoner was desperately violent. Ho struggled with his captors and continued bis anarchist threats and curses - and loudly avowed his complicity in tho Lyceo theater outrage, expressing fiendish régret that more people were not killed and t ne was not able to ry out further and more bloody outrages. This seemed to be the prisonet’s ouly regret as he cursed and swore, clainung that the existing state of society ' must be destroyed oven if the people had to wade 1n blood in ocder to do so. Aftemthe prisoner’s preliminary oxamina- tion before the magistrate he was placed in the doctor’s hands and almost immediately reduced to a state of insensibility fn order that efforts might be made to save his lifein the interests of justice, The examination showed that his wounds were more dang ous than at first supposed, though it is thonght that his life will be saved. ~ As soon as F'rench is able to be moved he will bo conveyed under a strong escort to Barcelon: wheré s trial will take place upon several ges, first of which will be complicity, ady coufessed to, in the Lyceo theator rrost was o scarching thorough investigation and several members of tho Barcelona sccret polico were arrested, to join the anarchist gangs vaiting transportation to the penal soutlo- ments, After this cleansing out of Barce- lona's secret police force the authorities found themselves much strengthened and arvest after arvest of important anarchists was made, but French still remained at large, though the police were more anxious to capture him than any other anarch- ist in Spain, for he was known to be o man capable of carrying out any terrible plot which might be determined upon and in every way a leade the leaders of the anarchist conspiracy. was known, for instance, that Salvador French had planned and almost succecded in executing an attempt to blow up a portion of the prison at Barcelona where a. majority of the anarchisis of the city were contined. biscovered in Time, The plot was nipped in the bud by the police, who arrested a number of conspira- tors, though French succecded in making one of his usual clever escapes. By dint of hard work and by keeping, continually, night and day watch of the anarchist leader, Salvador French was finally located again yesterday in a house situated in a quiet and highly respectable quarter of Saragossa. The police then made the most careful and thorough proparations to capture the lonz wanted anarchist. A strong force of policemen in plain_ clothes were detailed during the day, few at a time, and dis tributed 5o as to gradually surtound the house and in addition, as the hour for mak- ing tho attempted capture drew ucar, a detachment of police in uniform was sent 'to tho spot and the police net was gradually sed wround the house where the notorious anarchist had sought refuge. Stowly, but surely, the net was closed, the police entered tie house unobserved and a number of the most daving of tho ofticers suddenly burst in the door of the room occupied by French, and, vevolvers in hand, dashed into the apartment and ealled upon the anarchist to surrender, at the same time covering him with their pistols, rench, though taken upon the point of kitling police, when lie rapidly and turning the pistol toy side, shov himself beneath movement, howover, had been noticed by they grappled with him in timo to prevent the anarchist from killing himself, though the bullet which he fired ioto his' side, penstrated bis chest, but th leaden missile came out again three inches from where it entered.

Loxpoy, Jan. 2.—The Investor's Review, in an article written by Mr. Wilson, she editor of that paper, who is one of the best known authorities upon finance, says: “if the irs of the Bank of Ingland are allowed to drift as heretofore since tho act of 1846 it will end in a crisis, compared with which the Baring collapse will dwindls into insigniticance. We are driven to the con- slusion by the result of many year's close ob sorvation of the bank, which has been fov- saking its own published discount rate and plunging into regions it does not understand T'his draws socond and third-class business, whereby it sometimes realizes nasty losses. An excellent oxample of this is the way the bank was involved in the Murrietas difi- culties. Littlo concerning tho true condi- tion of the vank is known, and there is no hopo for & permanent improvement in the bauk's position by making o scapegoat of Cashior May.

JACKSONVILLE, Jan, 2.—Tho largest kind of a bomb was exploded in the camp of the Duval Athlotic club today. A large crowd surrounded tho court house today when the case of the champions was calied. Neither man responded. Judge Christie, county solicitor, stated that no evidence had been found in the case and recommonded tho re- lease of thoir bonds, As this was the ouly thing to be done Corbett and Mitcholl were declared freo men. . At flrst the crowa .did not fully under- stand the purport of judgo Christie's action, out when they learned that the fight had re- ceived u bad setback they were very angry with those who had seeured the dropping of the case. The officials of the club have not as yet decided what course to pursue. They re- main firm in thelr statements that the bat- tle will take place as advertised, despite the odds they are fighting against. Jumpling on Mitchell. Charley Mitchell has shown the whito feather or something that very much re- sembles thut article despised by all lovers of the prize ring. Despite his alleged consuming desire to face Cor. bett in the arena, the developments of today seem to indicate the Euglishman fs really trying to squecze through any loop- holo " to pe meeting the champion of Ame ‘'hat, and not the alleged knock- out of the Duval Athletic club by Governor Mitchell in the courts here this morning, is the sensation of the day in sporting circles. After Solicitor Christie rofused to have anything to do with the test case brought by the athletic club, by which the promoters of tho club hoped to have the Florida law re lating to prize fighting settled so as to pre} clude the possibility of any interference or the day set for the fight, the managers of the club began casting about for ways and means to “pull of" the affair in spite'of tho governor and the courts. Wanted n New Agreement. Manager Bowden of the club sent Harry Mason over to St. Augustine to see Mitcheil and induce him to sign amended articles of agreement. The original articles, at Mitch- ell’s suggestion, provided that tho fight should occur “within two miles of the city of Jacksonville.” "The ciub wday wished to change the clause so as to have it read that the fight should occur within the state of Florida. The purpose of the club was that it might agree to sclect u place in the state where iL was least likely there would be interference. When the situation of affairs was explained to Mitchell and he was uasked to affix his signature to the amended articles of agrecment he flatly re- fused to sign, Hesaid -he would never put his name to the paper unless the site of tho contest was definitely fixed. Harry Mason urged and expostuiated’ with the English- man, telling him the change wa3 one of pre- caution in view of thé governor's hostile attitude, but tono avail. Mitchell absolutely refused to sign and Mason returncd to Jacksonville, 1t should be remembered the original articles stipulated thé fight should bo “within the staté’of 'Florida.” This was changed to “within twp miles of the city of Jacksonville,” at Mitchell’s suggestion.

The mayor tonight vetoed the ordinance legulizing prize fights, but the council passed ivover his veto. Corbett Can Still Talk, Corbett, the chambpion, in unbosoming him- self to some [riends today, said: “Some of my friends told me I was foolish to make & match with Mitchell and now 1 kuow they were right. If it is within my power I will make that fellow fight before he gets out o Florida. If he manages to sneak out of this mateh in any way be will pose as being the man who was going to fight Corbett. I know I can whip him, and he knows it too. Why, if the Duval Athletic club cannot pull this thing off, 1 will fight him for elory. I am champion of the world, and I will only be the same if I defeat him, and T will risk it all and without a dollar 1 sight 1f necessary to bring this fellow to time, Mora than this, | will agree to name a man and let Mitchell name two men, privately pick a fighting ground and a time for us t0 fight. These wen need not advis us of the time or place for the contest until they think 1t necessary. This 1s Tough, 1 will fight before as few or as many men as may happen to be on the grounds. ~All [ want s to get at Mitchell and to prove to the public just what heis. I am told he re- fused to sign the agreement to fight in pri- vate because he is already a fugitive from justice in at least one state. Poppycock! He does uot want to firht and ne won't if he can get out of this with onough false credit 10 again hoodwinlk the public. His game is to goon the road and muke money on his bluffs and my reputation.” Being asked how soon he would be ro to fight if Mitehell signed, he said: days, if Mitchell 1s willing, or any other he wants, or lsave it 1o the men he and Governor Has Grit, CINCINNATI, Jan, 2.—Governor Mitchell of Florida telographs to an evening paper here his purpose regarding the M fight thus: Tho Corbett- ko place in this state prohibiting Tan. 1 Miteheil fizht " will not Florida unless the suprome court ¢ decides that thero is no law such u fight.

Some of the sentiments expressed to him by property owners during the day had been so radical that he took ovcasion to refer to such talk as “anarchistic,”—uot in the broad sense of the word, but savoring of a desire on the part of some property owners to disregard the laws of municipal government. his caused Mr. Kountze to register & mild protest. Mr. Rosowater quoted the relative to distriet improvement peritions and stated that tho mujority of property owners had it in their po cither sigh orreject petitions of this characte Too Far ONF for Kountze, Mr. Kountze favored more improvements in the central portion of the city and less ex- penditures in the suburbs as long as the cen- tral vortion needed improvements. On other subjects he thought that the lnws were in nocd of revision. The pre were to blame as the municipal government simply followed out the requirements of the statutes, Dr. Mercer scored the Board of Health lcr some of its condemnation methods. Mr. Boggs did not want to accuse the city governmentas being dishonest. He thought, however, that it v characterized by inad- vertence and extravagance, Others spoke in the sume strain, Mr. Patterson favored the idea of having the meeting suggest nine names for di rectors of the Real Kstate Owners associn- tion.
