AN ANARCHIST COUNT
THE HEAD 'OF THE REPTILE BROOD
IN ENGLAND.
And Probably the Bloving Spirit of tna
International Society Is the Italian
afalatesta Did He Plot McKinley.
Death T
Perhaps the most dangerous anarch
ist in the world today is Krrico Mala
testa, whose address is now London.
There is no reason to suppose, writes a
correspondent of the' New York Press,
that this genuine Italian count, who
apparently earns a modest living in
London by mending bicycles and by
doing odd jobs of plumbing and me
chanical tinkering, occupies a much
more important position than has been
generally assigned to him and knows
considerably more than Emma Gold
man about the murder of President
McKinley.
Under Police Surveillance.
Malatesta is considered by the de
partment of criminal investigation at
Scotland Yard to be the real leader of
the organized anarchists in England, a
band numbering between 2,000 and
1,000 members. He is known also to
be in close touch with the anarchist
organizations in America, France and
Italy, and he is suspected by the Lon
Scn police of being t-e actu 1 heal and
moving spirit of the international af
filiations of anarchists. He has a few
intimate friends here outside of 'an
archistic circles or outside of the in
ner circles, at least and from talks
with some of these I gather that they
fully believe Malatesta to be the an
archist director "general.
He is not only watched continually
by the police today, but any one who
undertakes to see him is followed.
Since he settled in London four years
ago he has been so cautious that no
definite charge of inciting to violence
could be brought against him.
Slalatesta Italian Career.
The facts concerning this Italian no
bleman, born to wealth and title, who
don detectives and -oy Italian spies,
his letters were opened, all sorts ol
traps were laid for him, but nothing
could be found that definitely con
nected him with the crime.
Hard to Catch HI re
in the same way detectives did their
best to connect him with tne murder
of the Empress of Austria. - He was
known to have been in touch with herj
si.-.yer, but there was nothing to prove
that Malatesta had planned this crime
from his little back room in Isling
ton. . . .
Did Errico Malatesta riot the death
of President Kcl-inley? It is safe to
sa.r that no document will ever be
found to prove it. But this soft-spoken
anarchist seems to have an es
pecial grudge against the conditions -a
America, apparently becaut i of the
number of rich men there. He de
clared recently to one of my inform
ants that there were more anarchists
in America .today than in any other
country in the world, and that the
number would increase rteadily. He
ranted bitterly about oppression
there. He was especially solicitous
about the Filipinos, atd said . that
Fresident McKinley was as m ch an
imperialist as any European monarch.
"STAGGERS HUMANITY.'
ERRICO MALATESTA.
(its in a wretched little back room in
London, suspected of weaving vast
plots while detectives representing at
least four nations lurk outside watch
ing in vain for some clew on which to
hold him, are more strange and dra
matic than any of the fiction that has
been written about him. Malatesta is
his own name and his family is one
of the oldest and most respected in
Italy today. As the eldest son he in
herited the title of count and would
have come into considerable property
if his family had not disowned him on
account of his revolutionary tenden
cies. He has a brother, Henry, who
is in the public service in Italy today.
Malatesta was intended by his
father to be a scientist, end after an
excellent education under tutors was
sent to Milan University to prepare
for the study of medicine. He was a
turbulent, headstrong youth, and soon
became the leader of the more restless
spirits at the university. Before he
bad time to graduate he was arrested
as the leader of a revolutionary move
ment, and although his people man
aged to get him out of jail, they in
formed him that henceforth they
would have nothing to do with him,
unless he changed his views about the
iniquity of all forms of government.
This Malatesta promptly refused to do,
and was invited by the family to go
and be hanged.
He plunged into all sorts of plots
against the Italian government after
that, and for his complicity in the
- riots of 1S93 was imprisoned again.
After his release he went to America.
He seems to have spent most of his
time there in quiet conferences with
anarchist leaders. Emma Goldman
and Johann Most were his intimates.
Four years ago he came to London and
has since lived in a saualid district
in the North End known as Islington.
Malatesta's Work Shop.
Malatesta's shop Is a bare little
place with one or two broken bicycles
about, odds and ends of leaj pipe and
a few old gas meters. He is a keen
student of chemistry and electricity
and is said to have one or two electri
cal inventions that would have
brought him money if he had not been
opposed to the idea of patents. If he
had not been so busy promoting' an
archy he might have been as useful a
citizen as his fellow countryman.
Marconi. To all seeming he is one of
the most quiet, mild and peaceable of
men. He is known to have expelled !
from authority among London an-
archists one or two men who talked
too violently." j
Just before King Humbert, of Italy.
was slain Malatesta disappeared from
London and turned up in Italy, al
though the police there didn't know of
It then. He was back in London by
the time Bresci Lad fired his fatal shot.
Malatesta, of course, disavowed all
knowledge of this deed, but had to
admit that he was well acquainted
with Bresci, for the fact was gener
ally known. H was watched by Lon-
Krarer'i Historic Pledge Relative u
the Boer War Pally Redeemed.
Evidences are accumulating on ev
ery hand, writes a London correspon
dent, of a great wave of public alarm
at the incalculable danger to the em
pire arising from the paralysis which
has overtaken England in her attempt
to subdue or exterminate the Boers.
There is fierce public indignation at
the inconceivable levity and ignorance
with which the enterprise was begun
and the criminal stupidity with which
it has been conducted.
The opening of the third year's
campaign is signalized by the publi
cation in both jingo and the anti-war
press of retrospects of the govern
ment's war, the record fully justifying
the gloomiest apprehensions. It was es
timated that the cost of the war would
be $50,000,000 with a field force of
47,000 men, which parliament was as
sured would complete the conquest of
the republics in . three months.
Today, when prospect of conquest
was never less certain, it has cost
$700,000,000, besides 18,000 lives, the
aggregate of casualties being 75,000.
Since Lord Roberts declared the war
over on the eve of the general elec
tion a year ago it has cost $350,000,
000 and 8,000 lives. The total number
of casualties within that period is
27r000. j
The proclaiming of martial law in .
Cape Colony is the most desperate .
venture yet made by the British. It is
known here that tie Cape premier
warned both the imperial government
and Lord Kitchener that it inevitablj
would mean the ultimate loss of South
Africa, but the government gave Lord
Kitchener absolute discretion and he,
rendered reckless by the hopeless en
tanglements of the desperate situa
tion, refused to listen to reason and in
sisted on having his Trill obeyed. An
iron curtain of rigorous military cen
sorship has now been drawn over th
South African conflagration.
St. Jacobs Oil for Chest-Colds. Bron
chitis, Croup and Plevlsy.
An outward application for bron
chial difficulties . is many times far
more effective than syrups, cough mix
ture, cod liver oil, &c, simply because
It penetrates through to the direct
cause, which is, as a rule, an accumu
lation of matter or growth tightly ad
hered to the bronchial tubes.
St. Jacobs Oil, possessing as it does
those wonderful penetrating powers,
enables it to loosen these adhesions
and to induce free expectoration. Cases
have been known where expectorations
have been examined after St. Jacobs
Oil has been applied, and the exact
formation was clearly shown, where
the adhesions had been removed or
pulled off the bronchial tubes. All ir
ritation of the delicate mucous mem
brane of the bronchss is quickly re
moved by the healing and soothing
properties of St.- Jacobs OiL In cases
of croop and whooping cough in chil
dren St. Jacobs Oil will be found su
perior to any other remedy.

Queer Parliamentary Custom.
When English people are funny the J
are so unwittingly and frequently are
most solemn when tbey are most amus
ing. The British Parliament ia gov
erned as to its etiquette by an unwrit
ten code of laws which only the most
cbanuoned Liberals or Irish meniDnrs
ever violate and which a fine, crusted '
old Conservative, "with a stake in the
country, sir," woull rather suffer tor
ture than infringe. Probably the most
singular rule is that which prohibits
a member of the House of Commons
from raising both his feet from the
floor at the same time. He can wave
one foot wildly in the air if he wants
to, but the other must rest on the
floor. This rule, however, does not
apply to members "who sit on the front
benches. For some unexplained rea
son they are allowed the privilege of
doing what they like with their feet
(;reat Power of FttogL
Several cases of the great power ex
ercised by growing fungi are given by
an English paper. Many years ago,
it says, Basingstoke was paved and
some time afterward the pavement was
found to be uneven; this increased, un
til some of the heaviest stones were
completely lifted out of place by the
growth of enormous fungi underneath.
One of these paving stones was twenty
two inches by twenty-one and weighed
eighty-three pounds. Dr. M. C. Cooke
had a similar incident brought under
his notice a large kitchen hearthstone
being forced out of its bed by the
growth of a fungus. Sir Joseph Banks
relates a still more startling occur
rence. A cask of wine leaked, and
after a time a fungus grew from the
leakage, finally filling the cellar and
lifting the cask to the ceiling.
The Tobacco Industry In Franco.
The tobacco sold in France annuall)
aggregates to the state about $79,137,
137. The expense to the state in buy
ing raw material, labor, freight, etc.,
is $14,535,324. leaving the very hand
some profit of S64.601.813. The state
factories use 59,026,325 pounds of do
mestic tobacco and 33,075,000 pounds
of imported leaf. Although tobacco is
extensively grown in France large
quantities are imported from the
United States, Brazil, Cuba and Java.
The great Iron ore companies of
Spain have combined under English
capital, and fifteen immense and
modern blast . furnaces will be built

to meet American competition, and
this is the only way to get it.
