The Secretary at Deaths Door Two
Weeks Ago
WASHINGTON, Dec. 31.-Secretary Fos-
ter, although able to be at the treasury de-
partment for an hour every fair day, is by
no means we'll yet and proposes going south
next week to complete his convalescenoe
He does not know just where he will go.
Florida, he fears, will be too warm and the
North Carolina mountains too high, for his
pulse is still abnormally rapid. Now that
the secretary is better it is admitted that he
was at deaths door two weeks ago. He
probably not be able TO do full days work
before February. Those of his friends who
hope to see him slip into the Senate between
Senator Sherman and ex-Gov. Foraker
count this as fortunate, since it keeps him
out of the squabbie now.

DYNAMITE IN DUBLIN.
An Attempt TO Blow Up the Castle
OF the VicerOy.

DCBIIN, Dec 81. - A decided sensa-
tion was caused in this city to-day by an
Ill defined rumor that the physical force"
contingent had resumed operations here and
that their first attempt had been made
against Dublin castle, the official
residence of the Earl Of Zealand.
viceroy Of Ireland. OGt OF great deal
OF excited rumor and gossip aaoat these
facts are sifted: Some alterations are in
progress in the castle and a considerable
number OF workmen are employed. To-day
while work was progressing q tremendous
explosion occurred in the cellar under a
room In which the privy council meets.
THE INTERVENING FLOOR SHATTERED.
Another story interviewed between the
cellar and council chamber. This interven-
ing floor was shattered and much damage
was done TO the council chamber. The
council was TO have met to-day, and the
surmise is that the plot existed to blow up
the council, but the explosive went of pre-
maturely. Nobody was hurt.
WORK OF DESIGN.
Investigation shows that the explosion
was not caused by escaping gas or any other
accidental circumstance, but that it was
the work of design, and that some very
powerful agent was used. Great re-
tcence is observed by the castle
authorities ana employees. and
CONSERVATION prevails among them. The
two floors above the cellar were blown to
pieces, heavy beams in some places being
torn into small pieces. The furniture in the
office beneath the privy council chamber
was completely destroyed.
LESS SERIOUS THAN FEARED.
DUBLIN. Dec. 81, IL p. M-The castle
officials state that after tho first feeling Of
alarm had passed away consequences Of the
explosion were found t. be less serious
than they had feared. An expendi-
ture of few pounds they say
will repair the damage The p-ivy
council met as usunl after the explosion.
Chief of Police Maen says that the force of
the explosion was exerted chiefly In an out
ward direction, and that it was possibly an
explosion Of gas.

bring out the gravity OF the situation-the
Americans are all alarmed because of the
defenseless condition of their wives and

A NEW NIaILIsT PLOT.

They We're to Blow Up Frances Par

PARIS, Dec 31.-Siuce the establishment
of a verbal entente between France ana
Russia, the French authorities have been
particularly vigilant in ferreung out the
plots of nihilists directed against the car.
Two or three of such conspiracies have been
discovered, one Of which was quite exten-
slve. All those who were convicted of par
tlcipation IN these plots were severely dealt
with, aud for some little time past nothing
further has been heard Of nihilistic plots in
France.
NEW PLOT
To-day. however, the people Of Paris
were ST.. sied by rumor published in the
SoheL and other newspapers that an ex-
tensive plot had been discovered in the
Russian colony having for its object the
destruction Of the building In which the
Chamber of Deputies meet and also the
building occupied by the Russian embassy
The conspirators, it was said, bad arranged
to blow up these buildings with dynamite.
knowledge OF the plot came TO the police in
some unknown manner and an investiga-
tion was Immediately set on foot.
ACTIVITY OF THE POLICE.
The rumor must have had some basis in
truth. for many of the refugee Russians re-
siding in Paris and the suburbs have been
taken into custody. A number Of houses
occupied by suspects have been searched by
police and 1t is reported that quantity of
discriminating documents were found.
OBJECT OF THE NIuILTsTs.

Russian nihillsts should desire TO wreck the
Russian embassy and annihilate its occu~
pants. but 1t is not 30 clear why they should
wish 30 destroy the French houses OF par
