AN ANARCHIST THREAT.
Story of q Plot to Assassinate the
Prince OF Wales.

fflncS OF NAleS.
NEW YORK, March 26.-A morning
paper, in q two-column article with glar-
ing headlines, claims that there is an
anarchist threat TO assassinate the Prince
OF W ales should he visit America and
that the Prince looked with favor upon
the idea. 1t is quite possible the Prince
will be the guest of William Waldorf
Astor. In the trip across the Atlantic it
is believed Astor will charter either the
Majestic or Teutonic, in case the Prince
decided to accompany him, speed di-
rectly for Boston, thence to Chicago by
special trains by way of Canada.
:. The principal design, the paper says,
in the Princes visit to Canada is to use
his presence AS check to the annexa alton
sentiment.
The article continues: Major Charles
Fox Billings OF Peterbore, Ontario, re-
tired British army officer of Canada, re-
Gently wrote Sir Julian Paucefote stating
that he has accursse information that an
extensive Anarchist plot has begun, in
which leading friends of the red flag OF
determination in the United States and
Canada are concerned, in which event
the visit of the stince to America will
end in his murder"
The letter ordinarily would meet scant
courtesy at the hands of Sir Julian, who
would believe it the work of a crank, but
this writer of startling news is not a
crank. Sir Julian Immediately COM
municated the important letter tc
the English Foreign Office. The
result was widespread CONSERVATION. Ca
Diagrams long and cogent passed between
the British Embassy at Washington and
the London Foreign Office. The crime
Major Billings letter says, will be COM
mitted in the United States, if possible
but if not it will certainly be accom-
plished when the Prince is in Canada.

REVOLUTION IN BRAZIL.

The Defeat of General Sarava's Troops
Great Blow to the Rebels.
VALPARAISO, March 26.-General Sara
vas defeat by Government troops near
Alegrete, Rio Grande de Sui, on Thurs
day, was greater blow to the Brazilian
revolutionists than the early stories of
the fight indicated. A dispatch from
Riviera says Sarava was not only badly
beaten, but 5000 of his men became pris-
oners.

PARIS, March 2G.-The police of St.
Michel Department Of Aisne, have
caught Anarchist Matthew, suspected of
having been Ravachol's accomplice in
causing the explosions year ago and
wrecking the Cafe Very, in Rue Ma
genta. Matthew had robbed PEASANTS
hut near St. Michel, and the police found
linn hiding in the loft. When stripped
the police found in his shoes papers
which showed that he was closely con-
nected with the anarchists in Paris. A
comparison of his appearance with the
official description of Matthew left no
doubt that he is the man for whom the
Paris police had been looking.

A Terrific Eruption Again Breaks Ont
In San Mart Volcano.
CITY OF MEXICO. March 26.-There is
great alarm among the people of the
Tonolu district, State OF ChiEas, over a
terrific eruption in the San Mart volcano
the last two weeks. The volcano is in
the midst of populous agricultural
country and extensive coffee plantations.
1t had been extinct more than a century.
The inhabitants of the surrounding coun-
try have abandoned their homes and
fled to a safe distance. The earthquake
shocks were followed by one of the most
magnificent and awe-inspiring explo-
sions ever witnessed. 1t occurred at
night, and lit up the heavens for hun
dred miles around. The flames rose
straight up thousand feet. Lava poured
down the sides of the mountain in
streams, destroying all crops and vegeta-
ton at the base.

Great Dissatisfaction at the Extortion-
ate Rates 1t Charges.
New YORK, March ga Hero{dS
Panama Colombia special says: There
is great dissatisfaction among merchants
at Panama over the high rates exacted bv
the Panama Railroad Company for trans
porting merchandise brought by Pacific
Mail steamships. The steamships bring
American goods and provisions from
New York to Colon for 3 per ton. For
transporting the same goods from Colon
to Panama the railroad charges seven to
twelve times as much as the sea trip.
The rate Tor provisions across the
Isthmus is SI4 per ton, merchandise, SI6,
and condensed milk, S24, when these
goods are brought into port by the
Pacific Mail steamers. These excessive
rates make competition between the
Pacific Mail and the new steamship line,
which works in conjunction with the
railroad, impossible.
The local newspapers denounce the un-
just discrimination. The Star and Her
aid says the refusal to grant through
bills of lading and the exaction Of local
rates on cargoes brought by the Pacific
Mail makes it impossible for the com
pany to carry freight between New York
and San Francisco. The new company,
therefore, enjoys the monopoly oil the
California trade.
telegram from Bogota says the
clauses of the canal contract have been
drawn and Will soon be signed by the
Government. The contract delivered i'm
poses conditions which will not be ac-
cepted by the canal liquidators. The
Government has no faith in the ability of
the company to reorganize on new
basis, and is only giving the corporation
a last chance. When failure is absolutely
apparent-it will take possession of the
canal.

Judge Billings Decision Sets Lawyers
TO Thinking.
NEW YORK, Marcn 26.-The decision of
United States Judge Billings touching on
the Late general strike at New Orleans,
declaring general strikes illegal in any
respect and that they restrain the freedom
OF commerce, beiogged the labor leaders
again to-day, and set lawyers to think
ing. Few lawyers are willing to discuss
il until they think it over.
Colonel Robert Ingersoll said: "As a
general rule, men have the right to quit
work, but not to prevent others from tax
ing their places. l do not mean that
strikers may not use persuasion and argu-
ment to induce other people to refrain
from working in the places of strikers.
Men may, OF course, conspire to quit
work, but how is anyone TO prove it {?
Many strikes are illegal, but the number
involved makes the courts powerless."
Henry George said: "This is but an
other attempt TO bind down the ocean with
pack thread. That strikes are restraints
OF commerce is true; SO are many other
things with which the courts cannot or do
do interfere. A strike rests on the indi-
vidual right to work or not, and for the
courts to attempts TO more than prevent
violence or threats of violence is unten-
able. If trades unionism, with the
necessary weapons of strike, could be
prevented byprohibitions and penalties, it
could have never grown up in Great
Britain, where courts and legislatures did
their utmost to put it down under con-
dltlons far more favor favorable than
those in the United States"
