THE DAY AFTER 1 Action Yesterday of London Police Condemned by NewspapersAffair Seemed Hysterical Only Two Died in the Fire. . London, Jan. 4. -After a day's re flection the sober thought of London appears tg be that the marshalling of a great force- of police and military, to destroy, the little nest of outlaws, was j charges of forgery and embezzlement a mistake.

Tho impression-as gaining ground that the policemen should have dealt with the situation without calling upon tj.e soldiers, and that summoning the horse artillery was an unnecessary move.' Nothing has developed to establish that-more', than two men held the tenement against several hundred policemen, two half companies of Scots guards, a detchment of horse artillery, with machine guns, and a gattling gun, and fire brigade, besides tens of thousands who lent their moral support in voci ferous cheers. The police believed they had located "Peter, the Painter," and "Fritz" on the top floor of the tenement. Some point out that in stead of walking up the stairs, kicking in the door and taking the men, they J summoned the Jandlady, thenj connoitered about the house until they drew the anarchists' fire from the win dows. The battle then begun ended in the burning alive of the two human beings within sight of many thous ands. The circulation of the newspa pers his morning was greater than at. any previous time since the critical stages of the Boer War. Public Con ! cern over rumors of anarchists' plots, hatched in London, appears overshad owed by tho discussion of the man ner in which the two suspected an archists were disposed of.
