WARRINGTON NAVY YARD.
preliminary Work Necessary to Con
vert IL to Its New Use.

III is thought at the Navy department that 1t
VIII be four or six months before the force of
employees at the Washington navy yard can be
increased. This time will necessarily elapse
before the bureau of ordnance can get the ord
nance foundry in good working order under the
new regime. 1t will be necessary to remodel
the buildings that have been vacat d by other
departments, and perhaps build new ones, and
10 secure the necessary plant for carrying ord
nance work on large scale. It is not expected
mat any OF the steel forgings for guns for the
proposed vessels will be delivered within six
months In the meantime the work OF COM
pietlng the batteries of the new cruisers Boston,
Atlanta and Chicago and the dispatch boat DOL
pnln VIII be prosecuted. The other departments
are stiii engaged in packing up the material
ana plant belonging to them, with the view of
It's early removal elsewhere. The steam engl-
neering department expects to have its unfin-
1shed work completed by the middle of the
month The supplies and stores belonging to
the equipment department are to be divid.
ed between the New York and Nor
folk navy yards, but the plant belonging
Partments. will not be removed until Secretary
hitney decides where it shall he distributed.
The Secretary is DESTROYS OF centraliZing things
as much as possible, so that it is probable the
equipment plant will all go to one yard, pre-
snrnably Boston. the construction plant to New
York and so on.

The Plot TO Eurn Vienna.


SAID TO HAVE BEEN MATCHED IN AMERICA
AND LONDON.
The Vienna police have furnished the press
with an account OF the recently discovered
anarchist plot to burn Vienna. Although many
details are obviously suppressed, the plot is
shown to have surpassed in extent and diaboli-
cal ingenuity any like plot hitherto concOcted.
Seventeen of the consprators 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 Viennese anarchists who re-
Gently returned from America. The plot was
cleverly organized. The conspirators were
DIVIDED into several groups, one of which was
detailed 10 set fire to the town, another to take
charge OF the dynamite operations, and another
10 Jorge the necessary official documents and to
coin money for EXPENSES. Parties were de-
tailed to set fire to Penzing, Untermeiding,
Hetzendorf, Meidling and Favoriten. The
police got wind of the plot and watched until it
was almost mature. They received universal
praise for their zeal and circumspectiOn. An
anarchist OF Prague gave the first informa ton
concerning the conspiracy to the authorities.

Gen. Kaulbars' Amusing Talk.

Gen. Kaulbars' Amusing Talk.
HE SAYS THE CAR SENT HIM ON A CONCILIA-
TORY MISSION.
Aspecial correspondent had an interview with
Gen. kaulbars at Rustchuk Saturday. The
Russian agent condemned the conduct OF the
regents as absurd and unpatriotic. He said that
Bulgaria, without the cars protection. would
be pOwerless and bankrupt, and would become
the prey of agitatOrs at home and abroad
The car, continued Gen. kaulbars, " has 9ra-
cioas5y sent me upon a eonciliatory mission,
and Bulgaria's salvation depends upon the &C
ceptance of Russia's overtures. The car will
never recognize the elections while officers to
whom even Battenberg granted amnesty re-
main in prison. The regents are evidently in
triguing to re-elect Battenberg and then nego-
tiate surrender on better terms. But the car
will never consent TO the adoption Of any course
other than that already laid down by Russia

stlnacy OF the government and people.
RUSSIA SUSPENDS RELATIONS WITH BULGARIA.
Advices from Sofia confirm the report that NJ

the russian agent made speech, and when
he had concluded the delegates expressed

The general thereupOn became enraged and,
turning his back on the delegates, dismissed
them from his presence.
OUTRAGEOUS CONDUCT OF THE RUSSIAN AGENTS.
On Sunday $50 peasants came in from sur
rounding villages and, after visiting the Rus
sian consulate, where they were harangued by
Consul Neklindoff, tried to put stop to the
elections. An afIray ensued, in which sticks
and stones were freely used, and several per-
sons were wounded. The intruders were even
tuaily expelled from the city. The election dis
turbers are MacedOnians, and are consequently
not entitled To vote. The Russian consulate
supplied the rioters with money and spirits
and they renewed the conflict. A crowd threat
ened TO attack the consulate, whereupon the
consuFs servants opened ire upon the mob. 1t
