     Police Commissioner Murphy says that all the Anarchists in the city are now under close surveillance. “The Anarchists here,” he adds, “up to date have not been violent, and as they undoubtedly know that a large portion of our detective bureau are watching them unceasingly, I do not think they will become violent. Under instructions from me no meetings of any sort will be allowed to be held under the auspices of any one known to be an Anarchist.”

     The name of the man, Czolgosz, who shot President McKinley, is one which the English alphabet cannot represent phonetically, and which the average English-speaking person stumbles over in trying to express it, after hearing it spoken by a Russian. Written according to its sound, the name of Czolgosz, or its nearest equivalent, is “Tchollgosch,” or more broadly speaking, “Shollgosch.” “Cz” is represented in the Russian alphabet by a character which is pronounced sch, the same as though one were suppressing a sneeze—“tch.” The next two letters “ol,” are pronounced in combination as though written “oll,” and the remaining letters of the name, “gosz,” have the sound of “gosch.”
