ANARCHIST BEFCGE Notorious 'Agitators Have Op erated from Switzerland. Peufchatel. Switzerland. F.bruary 4 hsd >n after tlie execution of Ferrer had jtiwoked the indignation of- nwst unpreju diced minds in Europe, I<>Ktical and revo lutionary agitators began to turn the un happy incidont to their own advantage. Anarchism, which is always more or less later.t among rertain classes of the prole tariat, showed itself in almost every coun try: and Its orators resumed the propa ganda of those three capital articles of the anarchistic creed— anti-clericalism, antl- TOilitarisr.. and corr.ir.unisr.-.. Many theorists had l«^n content to leave th*- question of vclihtm to the individual conscience The rr.ti -militarists oppowe armies not so much in the interests of universal peace, as I> cxv.zc powder and shot aro the quickest oare for disorder and lawless violence. Commutii?tn. of course. go.s lsand in hand an.irchism-first. because there are n-> rich anarcliists. and second, because the vcrr existence of property is a menace to -■ . .- cberislied plans. I! was not surprising, therefore, that the prutWr in Switzerland against the fate of F^T^r-»hould bo accompanied by a violent outburst of orSLtorj- directtd partly against P;^cisn injustice, but especially against lav ord^r and religion everywhere. It has always born part of the anarchist's policy ... try;, to identify himself with perfectly iuwfuV forms of pollU^al or economical ag: xation. such as peace* Me revolutionary movenT.nis. and especially strikes among •w orkiirgnien.

V.v.l ihere is sr.cli rreedom of -j.cech h^re a^ to mak<> almost any one who <*rries regular "papers" safe in abus ing all existing institutions. When, for ex ample" a Russian anar. hist robs n bank and th^n takes refuge in Switzerland, his extradition is opposed by a large party in ?.\iss politics, not because the man is a robber, but because he is an anarchist: a Political refusree. not a criminal. A mur derous bank bTcakfr might first write a brochure against the German monarchy. afTerwasd Mw up a safe in "Frankfurt. killins: the cashier, and. taking refuge in Geneva or Zurich! find respectable defend ers who would oppose his extradition on the srmun<3 that his offence was political. The anarchists who seek or have sought Rsv!um Its th»> federation n-.ay be divided '.nto three classes. First, there are the an afchtetJc theorists, writers of hooks and T"imphiOts and «3itors of newspapers. Thrv can p«n incetidlary articles and make v'"l^nt Epeechea. but they would no more think <>f touching a l«mih than of throwing themselves r^ver an Alpine precipice. Of *urh a kind was The genial Johann Most, wh" u^ed to mak* 1 ?■• many literary gesticu lations. But he fto«»d in great fear of the police, ar.d would never practise the ";zos- I*l of action* which be preached with so much swagger and ranting. Second, there Is a somewhat larger and more dangerous .-la^—partakers of anarchistic opinions, ■n ho are ready to act as well as to speak and wrii«\ You can meet them In some of the caff?" of Zurich or Geneva, growling through the muzzle? which the police have f£t on them about "freedom of speech and the tyranny <>f the V-oargoisie." FOES OF ALL, RESTRAINT. Third, there is the motley throng of mal contentfi out of work, criminals, chronic ♦-ramies of law and ord^r. These have no .:r<-ii7rHS of an id«-al soriety, of unlicensed living and universal r>eace. They hate de nouiacy as th^y hate monarchy. As one of them said not long ago. the most ad vastageous <avantagfux) sovfrnment is tho one which most deceives the people and most deserves to be overthrown. They will r-~' their lives in jeopardy in obedience to their political masters, just as they would - aiingly commit highway robbers', forgery or murder for a suitable recompense. They nr<- usually m*-n o? low intelligence, though they may have that "cunning" which Plato localized in thf- liver. Often they are «jpid and violent <3«-ger.erat«-s. like the as- Eassins of Garfield and McKinley. P>ut those in the first class which I have riTtioned are usually men of intellectual power, however ill balanced and immoral they may be. To-day there are compara tively few of them in the ranks of the an r.rrhists— ■-.■...- superior intelli jrr-rice Ehows th«?m the futility of Isolated fccts of terrorisTTi and assa?s!nation. and. second, because the rigid police surveil lance of civilized countries suppresses their newspapers, f-onfiseates their seditious lit erature -iind interrupts their murderous ora tors'. Tlicsf thr«*o types of anarclust. ranging from the fanatical doctrinaire to. the active criminal, are rufSdently well known, and "winff to the J«?ns«»nt and often absurd laws <!f the Swjfs republic tV^y have found it on the whole a Mfc asylum.

THE NOTORIOUS BAKUNIN. It v*vl hardly be said that the famous P.UEsian Bakunin was one of the earliest end ninjrt effective promoters of anarchism in Euro;-, although he was fanatical al most to the point of Insanity; Among- lhe ?.Tsarchist« of various nationalities with >-iiom I have talhetj-and they are all ta!k r.tive where only -TOeraUUe**! are con <erned-Eakunin is regarded as their great and almost inipired apostle. About the middle of the nintteemh century, after a thorough course In philosophy a \ German universities, h* returned to Russia, and v.-as the central figure of a erou . i v> . hicfa hid extravagant, but determined.

Associated with Bakunin was bis ener petic aid. Serge Xetsehajeff, who, like his *hitf. was a man of superior education. He had once MB an instructor in a col lege at St. tmliun, but because of his politics^! opinions and. schemes he was driv en by the Russian authcriUea into exile. He was chosen by Bakunin as his chief emissary. They wrote and had printed at Geneva r-any anarchistic pamphlets which they contrived to distribute in other Euro pean, countries. They wished "to leave no stone upon another" in the structure of society. The. conclusion of one of their manifestos was m follow?: "Inasmuch as we pursue no activity other than destruc tion, we are persuaded that the form in which this activity is to be exercised must be infinitely manifold. Th. revolution with out discrimination sanctities every means poison, dagger, etc." WORKED FROM SWITZERLAND. Sbth Bakunin and Netschajeff directed their attacks on foreign institutions from Swiss territory. They organized anarchistic groups in .all the northern cantons. The conventions v.hich they held In the early 70 - s were not explicitly in violation of the Swiss code. Consequently, with red nags and great disorder they made demonstra tions in populous towns .ike Berne, St. Imier. Zurich and Chaux de ' ' inds, which at lenpth l*»d to collisions with the police, to ri"t and bloodshed. An association of cnarchists settled in the whole Jura region was formed, but it was prosecuted only "ivl-.^n its m^mb»rs wen engaged In open disorder. Another of these theoretical anarchists. abler;. than •-.-•■ the originality and education of Bakunin, was the famous Krapotkin, who about the year 1870 came from Russia into Switzerland to take part in a cenera' conspiracy which threatened to enlist supporters even from the more moderate socialists In the fac tory towns. He bejran his career as a page .■• the imperial court; then after a short term of service in the Siberian army he took courses in the University, of Si. Peters burg. At lenpth he came to Zurich, but not for a lone stay. His persistent plotting made iiim subject to rigid surveillance; and he lived the life of a political nomad, for years avoiding- now the Russian, now the Swiss, now the English police. He assumed fal. c *> names, carried fal.se passports, al ways carrying on an • '••■■■ cam paign in association vith thf anarchists and communists who in the early TITs were active in every country of Europe. Krapot kin's avowd aim was "the violent expropriation of property and the disorgan ization of the state." In" spite of the sus picions which he excited, he continued his agitations, passing rapidly from <jne canton to another, indefatigable as an orator and prolific as an editor. In Geneva he had the audacity to pronounce a eulogy on the assassin of Alexander II; in London he ad vocated the free use of all physical and chemical means of producing terror, dis order and destruction. Although expelled from Switzerland, ie addressed letters, some of them rather eloquent, to meetings of his supporters in that country as well as in France. Austria and Germany. FOUND THERE WERE LIMITS. These mcVi whom 1 have named were the earliest missionaries of anarchism, and, as win have been soen, the centre of their ac tivity was French Switzerland. Anarchists of this type are of coarse prominent in all revolutionary gatherings and conventions. But Krapotkin and others like "him have often found that they could not abuse the so-called "right of asylum" in Switzerland, especially since the passage of the famous Article 70 of the federal constitution, which declares: "Strangers who imperil the in ner or ou t er safety of the confederation are to be expelled from Swiss territory.*" Finding that declarations in public meet ing were dangerous, these agitators resort ed more and mot tb newspapers and pamphlets, secretly printed and usually secretly distributed. It was easier and safer to carry on a campaign through the press than to risk forcible interruption of their public meetings by the police. But the chief difficulty of such a literary war Is the amount of money required to carry It or.. Almost every anarchistic sheet has come to grief, not through police interference, but through bankruptcy. Even the disaf fected and revolutionary workinsmen, who feel aggrieved at the existence of govern ment end at any accumulati"n of capital, are not too ready to spend their kopecks, pfennigs and centimes for papers and pamphlets which they have not time to read. 'And th^rr- never yet has been an anarchistic editor who did not at fre quent intervals utter frantic appeals to th - proletariat to be delivered from poverty and oblivion. •Lc Bulletin" of tlie Jura anarchists, one of the earliest revolutionary ""Sans of French Switzerland, died of inanition. Its successor, the "Avant-Garde," came to _..... the conviction and impris onment of its editor, the notorious Brousse, but it then transpired that It had only four hundred subscribers, Krapot kin's own organ, "I>e Revoke.- after belne driven from pillar to post in Switzerland, confessed to- its subscribers that its treas ury was empty, and soon afterward it was issued in iris, where it died aln per inc death. The anarchistic journal "Le Revel!.'* edited by Bertoni, which printed a "hymn" glorifying the assassination of McKinley. was kept alive for a while by private subscriptions and by ling sen sational supplements; but it, too, soon dis appeared. SOME AGITATORS IMMURED. In I«D4 Bcrtor.i and certain of M follow collators were arrested, convicted and Im prisoned, in Eptte of load protests in Switzerland from those who feared that the liberty of the pnss would be endan gered if the promoters and defenders of murder were punished. Indeed, • " far as anarchistic .... or pamphlets in tli<" French language are concerned. I doubt whether it would be possible to and them at any book store or 1 newsstand. There are only a frw sporadic publications to be had clandestinely from aßent.s, who aro known only to the initiated. To BUch iienis the police are prof an vulpus.

Avoidance of the mistakes that the opera tion of the present subway has disclosed has been the -watchword In the preparation of the plans for the Broadway- Lexington avenue subway which Chairman Willcox of the Public Service Commission announced on Thursday would be ready for the print ers within two weeks.' More than twelve hundred different draw ings and as many detailed specifications constitute the first step in that preparation, and in these drawings and specifications every Improvement which has been dis closed in the maintenance and operation of the Interborough system has been incorpo rated. Steel cars, with side door equipment, reg ular lighting systems, both in car 3 and sta tions, which will be circuited for " ample ligrht, and automatic speed control on all express tracks are three developments which comparatively recent inspections have df-monstrated as necessary equipment to r^al rapid transit, and these improvements will all be found in the contract drawings which will be ready for bidders in the near future, On the Broadway-l>cxington avenue line stations Sweated on curves will be unknown. heavy grades will be eliminated and express platforms will accommodate ten-car trains. while the local platforms will take care of eipht-car trains. Frank Hedley. vice-president and general manager of the Interborough system, told the Saturday Discussion Club at the Re ruhiican Club a few ; weeks ago that the present subway system of operation was ;»,k>--i upon by engineers all over th^ world as the- highest development of city rapid transit in existence, hut the plans of the Public Service Commission for th^ exten sions will surpass the present subway In both passenger carrying capacity and speed f operation. Further, the plans for the extensions. looking into the future probably beyond what may ever become necessary, will call for a tube construction fourteen feet in the clear, which would admit of its being used by the cars of the New York Central, the New Haven & Hartford or the Pennsylva nia railroad's suburban service. Th» mistake in the present subway con struction of terminating the express possi bilities at the end of the main stem will be eliminated from not only the Broadway- Lexington avenue system, but from all fut ure subways, according to the commission's plans, which call for three-track construc tion on all branch lines, as well as th«; pres ent four-track construction on the main st*m. Emerg _-;:ting systems which will be independent of any operative accidents are included in the plans, and the drawings specify the* exact construction and location of such details as emergency ticket booths. At the end of the main stem of the Lex ington avenue route increased trackage, as compared with the present subway, and the insTailati' :i of the latest perfeot'Hi develop ments of the automatic speed control and system will eliminate the de lays at present so familiar to subway pa trons at the "cross-over** tracks just north of 96th street. The plans, will* tviil go to the printer y. call for the construction of a trifle more than twenty-two and one-half miles. of which the main stem, extending from ittery, under Church street to Vesey, .. LS f t ,, Broadway, north to 9th street, east erly under private property and the Inter borougn subway to Lexington avenue and street, and then srraisrht north and un le Harlem River to 138*h street, will be a four-track system. Prom that, point onr- branch, running oast und^r insrh street to Southern Boulevard, to Westcbester ave nue, to Pelham Bay Park, will be of thr^e track construction, with a portion. Still un determined, built on elevated structure. a".d the other branch from 138 th street, o' similar construction, will rim as a three track subway ur.d^r Mott. Gerard and River avenues to Jerome avenue, and as a three-track elevated to Woodlawn. The estimated cost is ST."i.<v«i.iiiX>. and this, ad'i'-d to the estimated cost of JT.WO.OOO of ■;:;al street crosstown subway route. the 513,«89iW0 which, it is estimated, the five miles of construction in the Brooklyn 1 lway-I>afayette i^^•stem will cost, and the < stimated cost of $IS<hx>,ooo of the two branches of the Fourth avenue (Brooklyn* system, will make B total of J»113,000.n00 for the subways which the present city admin istration in all probability will undertake. The first of the twelve hundred drawings and specifications for the first of these lines on which bids will be ;isked. the Broadway- Lextaxtoa avenue line, will be sent to the lithographers and printers by th» Public ■- Commission this week, and as soon as they are completed construction bids will 'ait in order. ANCIENT TIBETAN PHYSICIANS. Skilful Healers When Almost All Eu rope Was Barbarous. The ancients, priests and -avans of Tibet were skilful physicians when almost the whole of Europe was overrun by ignorant savages or semi-civi!ized barbarians. The Russian government recently received a petition from the Siberian Buddhists re questing that medical schools should be established among them, in which the ancient Tibetan art of healing should be _ • In consequence of this strange :.. tlv- Medical Academy of St. Petersburg has been making investiga concendng the claims of the ancient Tibetan art of healing. Says "The Pall Mall Gazette": A Tibetan handbook of medicine, which was known and used about twelve hundred ' its ago. and even then was regarded as an "ancient" and venerated source of knowledge, was used as material for the investigfation. The. Russian academicians have thus made the astonishing discovery that this book diseribes drugs and cures which Europeon physicians "discovered" many hundreds of years afterward. Thus the doctors of Tibet. «=o many cen turies aK'>. were not only acquainted with the "secrets of the entire human anatomy how many bones there are in the human bod] etc . and the principal nerves, namely, ninety-nine— knew that th* skin con tained eleven million pores. According to this venerable book, '"the heart Is kins: of all the organ* and the. support of life." Sicknesses In general originate owing to the evil an 1 ignorance of human beings, especially owing to their inability to over come, their passions, which disturbs the healthy nourishing of the human organs. 4.11 evil thoughts also have a harmful Influ ence on the heart and liver. The physicians of Tibet fifteen hundred mars ago employed the same means di urnosing the condition of a sick person as the physicians of the present day— they felt the patient's pulse and looked at his tongue etc. Among the "remedies" which they recommended were not only vegeta rian diet baths, compresses, but also mas sage and tupping. What Is more remark able is that physicians who did not keep their instruments quite clean were severely t.unlahed The ancient Tibetans were in thl- respect extremely modern. The old Tibetan medicine book prescribes that healthy persons should "l«-ad an orderly, B^slble manner of life, avoid all excesses and irregularities; alto conscientiously ;;..; Bh and keep clean both sevd and body." . .

Keeping Boys Out of Trades and in Mischief. Boston, Feb. 19. — Judge Wait, in the Suf folk Superior Crimnal Court, yesterday, in repponse to the statement of John Quinn. an attorney, that conditions in Boston wore pretty much against hoys learning: a trade; that they, in consequence. congregate in poolrooms and step by step fall into temp tation and crime, stated that labor unions might, to some extent, be held responsible for keeping boys out of trades. ■ The court did not po further into the question, and left, the inference -to those seated within the bar inclosure that the trades do not take enough boys in to alle viate the conditions. Mr. Quinn ?ai<l noth ins: about the unions, but he did say that Boston boys "are up asrainst a difficult proposition in trying to set employment as tradesmen.'' These remarks wore brought our in mn si.i^ration of the r^se for sentence of Joseph Foscaldo, Alfred <';irr. I<3\id Schlagel, Mat thew Connolly and Jeremiah McConnick. The ages of these boys range from seven teen to twenty years. They were caught at tempting to loot a Boylston street fur store. <-md onn of them attempted to fish: his way to freedom with a revolver in hand. An other tried to os< ape detection by hiding In a bearskin in the window, and a third was foound under a pile of fur garments. Two others were caught later. It was BLated tiiar they were concerned in a number of other breaks, and only a month ago Con nolly was tried before Judge Wait on a rob bery charge and released after a disagree ment of the jury. Judpe Wait said that he was sorry thp jurors were not in court yes terday to see the younj? man. whose face, undoubtedly, and not the evidence, brought about Ms release. -Mr. Quinn said that none ot the boys was bad at heart but that they were vic tims of modern city condition-'. H< b that there was little open to them in the way of learning a trade, and that they fell because th^rp was little We for them to take to but the streets. Judge "Wait .sent Foscaldo. Carr and Schlagel to Concord re formatory, McCormack to state prison for three to four years, and Connolly to state. prison for two and one-half to four years. MINES AND METALS. Walker's copper letter says: "Copper is quiet and prices are a shade easier. Lake is 13 787 8 to 14c and electrolytic is [3)&c to lS?ic a pound. A renewal of the reports, circulated some time a?o, that the plans for a general copper mining- merper have been definitely abandoned has checked the buying demand to some extent. In this country, however, current buying and consumption are going hand in hand, and it is claimed on pood authority that none of the leading consumers are carrying more than two or three weeks' supply at the present time. The very large foreign visible supply en courage? the belief that A considerable portion of the current exports Is going into the hand.-- of speculators. If this be true, the buyers: arc to be congratulated on their pood judgment. As a matter of fact, both the foreign and domestic surplus stocks look very much larger than they really are. Regardless of how great the consumption may become or how urgent the demand, the world's surplus stocks will never again amount to less than l<X),ooo,OOo pounds, that amount necessarily being held up at one point or another in the regular course of turn-over from producer to consumer. The present actual surplus over and above this 100,000,000 pounds is probably less, than 250, 000,000 pound*, or about seven weeks' pro duction. Consumption is practically sore to increase rapidly for at least two or three years to come, and not more than live or six months more should be required to ab sorb all of the actual surplus and put the metal market in a position where neither a combination of producers nor a reduction of output will be required to advance price*. I believe metal prices will be higher before they are any lower." A W. Tucker, superintendent of the Union copper mines, reports to the New York office of the company that he has suce«-ed*-d in recovering SO per cent of the total gold contents while treating the gold ores of th*» Union copper niii»-s, and brought the tailings down to the low figure of 47 cents a ton. He advises that a test was made running five h«-ad of 160-pound stamps for fifteen hours, with excellent results. Air. Tucker also states that the recovery of the mineral values of these ..res is pos sible by simple hydraulic concentration. Th» balance sheet of the Cumberland-Ely Company as of November 30 shows cash on hand of *417,347. against $37.752 at the same time in the preceding year.

At the annual stockholders' meeting of the Arizona Copper Belt Mining Company last week the following officers were elect ed: William J. Dilthey. president: P. Rus sel Wilbur, vice-president; Charles H. Peckworth. treasurer, and Alexander S. MeNear. secretary. The visible supply of copper in London on February 15 was recorded at 114.100 tons, compared with 110.830 tons on February 1 and 52.250 tons on February 15. 1909. FOREIGN COMMERCE.

This heavy s^llinsr. coming •»■ the eve of ■ taree-day adjournment, found very few buyers, and ther» was a sensational break in prices, A lull in the selling during the mid dle of the morning was followed by a rally of about ■•• points on covering, but even on so slicht a bulse liquidation was renewed, and th»» lowest point of the day was reached in th* late trading?. Initial prices were ""a.".." points lower, and at the low point th» active old crop month* were 45' aIT points n»t lower, with May contracts - Ing at 14.0^c and July at 13.91 i There wa» a rally of 10 to 12 points during the last few minutes on core ring for over the holidays.
