PARIS, April 5.-Ravachol admitted tc
the magistrate yesterday that he wrote an
article In the Journal International de-
scrlbing the surest method Of blowing up
public buildings and giving information al

explosive he had employed in the Boulevard
St. Germain and Lobau barracks

mite he charged his Internal

TRRMIN aus PLAN FIzzLlNa.
Only Small Fraction of the Outstand

Only SmallHrGction of the Outstand-
ing Securities Deposited.
New YORK, April 5.-The Post says:
ut has been an open secret on Wall street
for many days that the Richmond Termi-
nal reorganization plan proposed by the Oh
colt committee had practically been re-
jected by the security holders, and that q
new plan with radically different provisions
was now being discussed by the principal
interests 10 the system, which would pro-
vide simply for an assessment OF $40 per
share on the present stock, for which a de-
Senture bond will be given, and the cut
ting down OF the company's stock &.
BUT FEW SECURITIES DEPOSITED.
1.-THE present plan was issued March II,
after several months labor by the commit
tee. But few securities were deposited under
its provisions. Last week the engraved re-
ceipts Of the Central Trust Company were
listed on the New York Stock Exchange for
the securities deposited under the plan, and
it was thought that this step would hasten
the deposits. So far, however, only about
50, 600, 900 in securities have been deposited
out of a total of S394, 900, 900.
A NEW SCHEME PROBABLE.
"The committee, however, has steadily
refused TO give out any information in re-
gard TO the amount OF securities deposited,
and this fact in itself has prepared the
wav for the speedy withdrawal of the plan.
The only official statement that can be- OBJ
tanned Is that the committee reported yes
terday that the deposits of securities had
not been as speedy as they desired or ex-
pected; that the reason for the reluctance
Of the holders to deposit their securities
would be studied and that the plan would
be modified SO as to meet their approval"

MADR1D's ANARCHISTS.

The Men Who Were to Blow Up the
Deputies Admit Their Guilt.
MADRID, April 5.-The excitement cre-
ated by the attempt made yesterday to
blow up the Chamber of Deputies grows
apace, and with it grows the conviction
that the anarchist troubles In Spain are due
to foreign agitators. This view is strength
ened by the fact that one of the
men arrested yesterday was Frenchman
and the other a Portuguese. The men
were examined to-day before a police
magistrate. The Frenchman gave his name
as Jean Marie Delboch and the Portuguese
as Manuel Ferrara. Both gloried In ad-
mitting that they were anarchists and
boasted that they were important agents Of
central anarchist organizations.

COLUMBIA, 8. c.. April 5. - The
effect Of the arbitrary rules adopted
by the state executive committee composed
of the Tillman element was practically
illustrated to-day in Sumter. e. T. Rear-
don, who applied for registration ticket,
was refused on the GROUND that he had NOT
registered prior to the election. This de~
cision was given by the attorney general.
Reardon referred the case to lawyer who
will test the legality of the refusal in the
circuit court. According to this decision

who have become 81 since the last election
or who have moved into the state since that
time. 1t is on this ground that Reardon
appeals.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The Indian ap-

assignment Of army officers TO the duties of

following: THE President is authorized to
detail officers Of the United States army to
acs as Indian agents at all agencies where

WALLED Cities I'm India and China

The first glimpse we get of an eastern
walled city unfolds at nee memories OF
our childhood days, which have perhaps
never been awakened since, and the pic
lures of our childish books, which Inn
pressed themselves so wildly upon our
| minds. are reproduced in the bright col
ors Of old, when we are brought face to
face with the quaint battlements and
the dark gateways, with the accessories
of bright, burning sunshine and tur-
! baned figures and professions of camels
md the ~listless calm of the tropical land.
Such old cities are still to be seen in In
dia. still walled in the old fashion and
still peopled by the figures of the Biblical
| picture book.
Closely akin to them are those walled
| towns standing on the canals of mid
China. passing through which, say at
the close of day, when every tower and
every roof stands out clearly cut against
the brilliant western sky and we are
challenged by a grotesque figure, armed
with a spear and probably wearing
armor, the illusion is complete, and for
the mOmen we find it hard to realize
that we are travelling at the end of the
Nineteenth century.
Even in much changed Japan there
are old cities which still retain their walls
of the age of feudalism, and in the very
heart of the capital the imperial palace
is surrounded by the same quaint forti-
| fcatiOns which in old troublous times
made it an imperium in imperio, al
though the walls are crumbling and the
gates are never shut, and the moats have
been abandoned to the lotus and to carp

A FIy That Kills Horses.

All white men who visit regions in

Africa is depleted of its large game.
much of which is moving northward to
get away from hunters, and the tsetse
fly is going with it.
The insect is only a little larger than
the ordinary house fly, and it resembles
the honey bee. Its sting is hardly as
annoying as hat of the mosquito, but
near the base of the proboscis is a little
bag which contains it's poison. 1t lives
on the blood of animals, and only a few
species are fatally affected by its bite.
Cattle, horses and dogs, however, IAN
not live when bitten by the tsetse fly.
Natives who herd cattle and travellers
who depend on horses and oxen must
avoid the fly regions or lose their stock.
For human beings its bite has no serious
consequences.-Pittsbur Dispatch.

partiality was, indeed, mainly on the
side of the former, and for a good rea-

track of all vessels sailing to and from

all men as the Spanish Main. On the
highest peak of Terceira, whence in
clear weather the sea could be scanned
for leagues around, were raised two col
umns, and by them a man watched
night and day. When he saw any sails
approaching from the west he set a flag

lar sign was set up on the eastern col

the mysterious western seas the great

jewels, with silks and spices and rare
woods, wrung at the cost of thousands
