The Plot TO Destroy vienna.

A Vienna cable dispatch OF sunday say:
The Nitnna police have furnished the press
with an account Of the recently di>coYered
Anarchist plot to burn Vienna. The plot
l. showG TO have surpassed in extent and
diabolical ingenuity any dynamite plot
heretofore cOnc0ctcd. Seventeen Of the con-
,piIatOrs have been arrested.
An examination Of the prisoners shows
that the plot was Matched in and directed
from America and London, and was to be
carried out by Niennese Anarchists who re-
Gently returned from America. The con-
spirators were divided into several groups,
one Of which was detailed 10 set fire to the
town, another TO take charge OF the dyna-
mite operations, and another TO forge the
necessary official documents and TO coin
money for expenses. Parties were detailed
10 set fire TO Penziug, undermining Het-
zendorf, NEEDING and FayOriten.
The police got wind OF the plot ana
watched until it was almost mature. They
received universal praise for their zeal and
cIrcumspectiOn. An Anarchist OF Prague
gave the first information concerning the
conspiracy 10 the authorities.
The plotters were mostly CZecks and
Germans. They held secret meetings In
tavern st Penzing, where operators were
instructed in the use and manufacture OF
bombs. The seizures include numerous
daggers and bombs, dynamite, fire bottles
for firing buildings, printing and forging
implements. and variety Of disguises, all
Of the most ingenious character.
Another plan to obtain money was by
means OF forged document TO frighten
old ladies, at whose houses the plotters
would make a domiciliary visit under pre-.
tence Of searching for counterfeit money,
when they would seize all the good money
upon which they could lay hands. A re-
cent fire in private house was the result
OF an experiment with a fire bottle.

The Cotton crop.

WASHINGTON. u. G., October 9.-The re-
peri OF the Department OF Agriculture
says: The cotton season has been too Yarla-
bic In temperature and precipitation for
the best development. and largest frultage.
Itwas too dry in September on the Atlantic
coast, resulting in further shedding OF
bols. The boll-worm has wrought local
injury in the Gulf States, and the CATER
pillar in less degree. The weather has
been comparatively favorable for picking,
except for the excessive heat aud rains IN
the Mississippi Valley and Texas. The
season i. late, and the risks Of carly frost
are therefore greater than usual, ana haDle
to discount the present apparent conditlon.
In Georgia and Alabama the condition Is
reported the same as last month. Iennes-
see makes slight improvement. The "a
rolinas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, ana
Arkansas show a smsll reduction. Inc
