STARTLING REVELATION.
Discovery of SociaIistic Conspiracy
at San Francisco.


SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 16.-One of the most
sensational and startling plots for the wholesale
assassination of the most prominent men in this
city came to light last night. Some time ago the
police obtained information Of the existence of an
organization called the "Socialistic Revolutionary
Association" which. it was asserted, was compos-
ed of ultra Socialistic members. close watch
was kept on their movements, and the police fin al
ly succeeded in obtaining the minutes of one of
their meetings held on Nov. %. From these min
utes it was learned that a plot existed to put
about 20 men out of the way by assassination, in
Guiding w. I. Coleman, Congressman w. ". Nor
row. Gen W. H. L. Barnes, Mayor Bartlett, Unit
ed States Judge Lorenzo Sawyer, Leland STAN
ford, Charles Crocker, Gov. Stoneman and the
principal police officials. These names were put
on '|prOscriptive list" and placed in the hands
of the executive committee. The committee
were to devise the best means of accomplishing
their base plot, and were engaged in considering
brought to sudden termination by the discovery
of their headquarters at NO. 300 Montgomery
street. The police arrested four men found IN the
rooms. Their names are Julius @. Koosher, Hen
gers. The officers found in the headquarters
complete laboratory for the manufacture OF Infer
nal machines. The men were taken to the city
prison, where they boldly asserted that they were
dynamiters and that they proposed to get rid OF
the citizens named, and then raZe Chinatown. The
prisoners are also members of the German Drancn
of the anti-Coolie league, No charge has yet
been entered against the men. Further develop
mentS are expected.
Ali of the four men arrested yesterday on
charge of conspiring to Kill prominent cluzehS Dy
means of dynamite admit belonging TO an anu
COoie league and say their efforts were TO be dl-
rected solely against the Chinese, VINO were sup
posed to be preparing to take the offensive. They
prepared the dynamite bombs to be used as Wea-
ponS of defence, not of offence, and all deny that
there was any intention to assassinate American
citizens.

kicking Against silver.

A Washington special to the New York
Commercial OF the 9th instant says: Sec
rotary Manning has given directions to
stop the issue of one and two-dollar nores
at the Treasury. with the view Of forcing
into circulation the obnoxious silver dol
lar and subsidiary coins OF fifty cents and
under. Treasurer Jordan informed the
Commercial CO. respondent to-day that he
was in entire sympathy with this policy,
and would endeavor to make it a success.
Jordan said he was firmly convinced that
the stoppage OF one and two-dollar bills
would bring into circulation small silver
coins. II Is proposed to try the expert
ment and see how it will work. The
trouble has been that the small silver coin
has flowed into the banks only to be for
warded here for redemption. When the
banks discover that they canno get one
and two-dollar notes here they will pay
out small silver. OF which about $32. 0O0,-
600 OF the $50. 000, 900 coinage remains in
the Treasury.

The general recognition ten dered in
Sacramento on Tuesday last Of the many
public gifts and acts of private charity
from Mrs. Margaret E. Croker was
suitable and commendable. These
kindly acts on the part of the lady dur
ing recent years were of such a character
that the rich and the poor can alike
profit by them, and the manner in which
the acknowledgment Of them was made
was indeed pleasing and appeared to bear
the imprint of a power greater than that
which was instrumental in bestowing it.
Where instrinsic value is of no special
Importance, greetings and smiles and
flowers carry with them a spirit of thank
fulness which. in this case, must have
been peculiarly pleasing to Mrs. Croker.
There is. in our mind, more religion in
the great and purely good acts of those
who are in a position to bestow them
than there is in a dozen sermons on
doctrinal points and the vengeance of a
lust God.

WOMEN ON ARBITRATION,

The wife of the Gar Of Russia, who,
like the wife of the Prince of Wales, is
the daughter Of Christian TX, King of
Denmark, is known to have an exceed
ingly great influence over her husband,
and it ia believed that she is exerting all
Of it to secure a settlement of the dispute
in Central Asia by arbitration. The only
sister of the Gar is the wife of the
younger brother of the Prince of Wales,
the Duke of Edinburg, and so in the
Court of each country there must be a
potent influence in favor of peaceable
measures. The family relations of the
most powerful sovereigns of the world
are now so intimate that woman's in
fuence may be an extremely important
factor in the substitution of arbitration
for war in the settlement Of all interna-
tional disputes. Queen Victoria's eldest
daughter is the wife Of the German
Crown Prince, and the wife of her son,
the Duke of Connaught, is the niece of
Emperor William. The combined infu-
ence of these members of royal families
and the exertion of the influence of
women throughout the world generally
may be made to hasten the time when
civilized nations will cease to resort to
barbarous war for the settlement Of the
differences which arise among them.
