A PLOT FUILED.

Conspiracy to Blow Up the IVelIan6
Canal discovered and Frustrated by the
Canadian Government.
ST. CATHARINEs, Ont. June "A few
weeks ago the government at Ottawa re-
ceived warning that it was The intention
of a Fenian faction to send rarty of their
followers into Canada on the day of the
execution OF Joe Brady, the Thnn.1 park
murderer, to blow up certain portions OF
the Welland canal. The government i'm
mediately warned their representatives at
st. Catharines, and Saturday, the 18th of
May, large number of men known to be
loyal subjects, and who lived in the dis
trict, were stationed at short distances
along both the old and new canals
to watch the movements of any
suspicious characters. The day before
Brady's execution fifteen suspicious look :
Ii g men, each carrying a medium sized
satchel, jumped from the train at st. Cath
arine, having just came over the suspension
bridge from Buffalo. They were immedi-
ately shadowed by private detectives, who
were sent to the supposed place of attack
in Canada, who soon after overheard suffi-
cient conversation of the new arrivals to
be convinced that they were the party they
were commissioned to watch. The new
arrivals walked about, apparently uncon-
cerned, but at the same time making Sc
cret arrangements for carrying out the
object which they had in view.
A few of their number were sent along
the canal to select suitable spot to de-
stroy the connection between the upper
and lower lakes. They had not gone far,
however, before they found their seer ct
had got to the ears of the government Off
cials, and that their game was up. They
saw large numbers of men stationed all
along tne canal in sentry boxes, and the
delegation returned to st. Catharines
where the party Immediately dispersed
and returned as quickly as possible to the
states. The watches are still stationed
along the canals guarding the locks day
and night. A government official on
being interviewed to-day said, 81 am salts
fed we did not take our precautions one
hour too soon. The gang came over from
Buffalo on Sunday, and when they found
the canal guarded at every point they dis
persed"

FRANCE.

OPAR1s, June, 4.-Gen Wimppfer of the
French army, in a letter to the Everement
says: ''The object of the Count Won
Motlke's tour recently in Italy, was to
study the best route for the Invasion of
southern France"
LONDON, June A statement in a
Paris dispatch that duel with swords was
fought on the Swiss frontier yesterday
between Geo. Cassagnac and national
sergeant mayor, in which the former had
his throat pierced, is denied.
PARIS, June AT a meeting of the
Suez Canal company to-day proposal
was made by De Lesseps to examine into
the prospect for the construction of a
second canal across the isthmus which
was adopted unanimously. De Lesseps
assured the meeting that the English di-
rsctors were giving loyal assistance and
prOphesied that another canal will be built.
De Lesseps stated that improvements
were now being made at cost of 3O,OOO.-
900 francs which would suffice for traffic
of 100000 tons yearly. The company
a year ago decided to undertake the build
ing of second route. They could accom-
plish this within the limits of their own
lands but could do work much more rapid
ly and conveniently, if the Egyptian COY
ernment would grant fresh concessions. He
said negotiations for obtaining aid from
England in this object were proceeding
favorably.
