A LA GUY FAWKES.
ANARCHISTS PLOT TO BLOW UP MUM.
ERoUs BUILDINGS IN VIENNA.

ished-Anarchists Of Chicago
Said to be Connected
With the Plot.

VIENNA, Sept. 2S.-In spite of the
efforts of irresponsible news agencies
to belittle the exclusive story of the
arrest in this city on Sept. go of mum.
Der of anarchists in house on Sieben-
Drummer Strasse, as caoled the Associa-
ted Press, the fact remains that the
police of this city did upon that occa-
sion discover the greatest conspiracy
since the time Of Guy Faw6es in En-
land.
The police found cases of revolvers,
and explosives were at hand with
which to load bombs, and
coats with leather Innings to
which hooks were suspended and
bombs attached; also documents
OF a most important nature. Full par
ticulars of the plot were not made
public at the time the police made the
raid, but the Associated Press said at
that time it was believed to be a great
and widespread conspiracy against
Vienna Hipped in the bud. This is
admitted by the Austrian police tJday
to be correct in every particular, and
they say investigation shows the an
archists intended to smuggle a
quantity of dynamite into the under.
ground portion OF the reichsrath
building and when that body met on
October 10, blow the reichsrath up.
But the reichsrath is not the only
building the anarchists intended to
blow up on October TO- They had
plans fully prepared to blow up the
town hall. In this building over 1000
people would have been destroyed had
not the police unearthed the anarch-
ists' plot. Even this is not the full
extent of the terrible conspiracy dis
covered. A number of other import
ant buildings on Ring strasse, one of
the finest streets in Europe, were
doomed to destruction with everybody
in them on the day appointed for the
anarchist outbreak. The university
was another building also to be under
mined with dynamite, as was the
famous historical museum of Vienna
and other fine buildings of similar
nature. The Hofburg theater, oppo-
site Rath Haus, was also marked out
IOr uynaUlClDS.
Now comes, SD far as the United
States is concerned. the strangest part
of the whole conspiracy. The Associ-
ated Press has already announced that
the bombs of the anarchists were man
ufactured according to tie formula
prepared by Herr Most of New York.
This is not all. The police of this city
insist and claim to be able to prove the
anarchists engaged in the terrible con-
spiracy against the city of Vienna
were connected with anarchists in
Chicago. This is not a theory, they
insist, it is fully established beyond a
doubt Correspondence between an
archists here and those in Chicago is
said to be in the hands of the author
tiles, who, it would seem, must have
communicated with the police of
Chicago on the subject.

LLANO, Tex, Sept. 28.-We have
had too failures in our little city this
week. A. P. Blown & Co., furniture
dealers, conveyed to A. 8. Blackburn
as trustee to secure creditors, their en-
tire stock and all notes and accounts.
Their liabilities are about $269l. 70 and
their assets about $4,000.
VIC. Wallace & Co., saloon men,
conveyed to w. G. Thompkins, trus-
go, for the benefit of creditors, their
entire stock. Their liabilities amount
to about 1925, assets not known.
We had light rain last Monday,
but not enough to do much good, ex-
cept that the weather is somewhat
cooler.
Considerable cotton is being mar
keted here now and business is some
what vived. The general outlook is
not very encouraging at present owing
to the scarcity of grass and water for
stock. A great many cattle are being
shipped out, some to market and some
to grass.

Want to Appeal the Prohibition Decision
New Baptist Church Organized.

Special to The Statesman.
GEORGETOWN, Sept. 29.-Attorney
E. A. Strickland went to Austin this
week in behalf of the Prohibition
party to get the supreme court to issue
a mandamus requiring Judge Morris
to withdraw or dissolve his celebrated
injunction which prohibited the com
missioners' court counting the votes in
the late election. The supreme court
was not in session, and Mr.. Strickland
therefore did not present his applica-
ton for the mandamus.

ney Johns and others who went to

port having accomplished very little
by the trip. They went hoping to get
some clue which might lead to the ar
rest of the murderers of Wilkinson
county's lamented sheriff, John Il.

met in the city hall and organized
themselves into a new church. Rev.
DR.. Reynolds of Florence assisted in
the organization. Messrs. Simmons
and Lunsford, who had been re-
tiularly ordained deacons in
the old church, were elected
deacons in the new church.
Will Tanner was elected church clerk,
Frank Mass, moderator, and James
Carvel, treasurer. Thirty-four mem
bers who had obtained letters of dis
missal from the other church went
into the new organization. There are
many others who have withdrawn
from the other church and will
probably join the new church. The
naming OF the church and calling of a
pastor were postponed until a subse-
auent meeting. The exercises were

resumed, Mr.. Lacey (Ia.) speaking in
opposition. When Mr.. Lacey began
to describe the peculiar election meth
DDS in vogue in South Carolina Mr.. Tai
bert of that state became hotly in
dignant. After fierce alteration
the latter said: II deny the tone of
the gentleman's remarks and challenge
his proof" II am glad the gentleman
denies the Tone" replied Mr.. Lacey"
for he cannot deny the facts. am re-
sponsible for the tone; the facts speak
for themselves" Laughter.
AT the conclusion of his speech, Mr..
McLaurin, Is. o. secured the floor
for five minutes to reply to Mr., Lacey's
structures on South Carolina. He de-
clared in favor of local self govern
ment.
Mr.. Wilson (Wash.) interrupted to
ask why the Democratic party was in
favor of local self government. Cleve-
land had appointed Southern men to
places in Minnesota, North and South
Dakota and other Western states.
Mr.. Dearmond (Mo.) followed in
favor of the bill.
Mr.. Gillett Mass followed Dear
mond against repeal, taking occasion
to severely score Tammany hall.
Mr.. Wheeler Gala. J, the great Con-
federate cavalry leader, followed with
a vigorous support of the measure.
Graphically he painted the picture of
tyranny that had obtained in the
South as result of these laws. About
the only notable thing Mr.. Wheeler
said was in the form of an inquiry as
to whether the people of the South
would prefer to see armed deputy
marshals or "big buck negroes" pre-
siding at the polls.
Mr.. Wheeler was followed by ex-
Senator Blair IN. H. who returned to
the house with the present congress
after IL years service at the other end
of the capitol. Blair's throat was SO
affected that he was forced to ask the
indulgence of the house to print mis-
remarks in the record.
The house then adjourned.

NOT oisslpate, SAID PETER, the confu-
sion In public mind as to the presi-
dents real opinion on monetary cues.

ne might be bimetallist, there was
notnlng In the letter to show what
KIND OF metallist he was. The only
lining insisted on was the repeal of the
Sherman law. "Whenever the admin

ready to accept the pending amend
ment or some other amendment which
will bring about a restoration of the
law OF 1887, they can pass the bill in

wide range of subjects. The opening

of armed forces in diff
culties between employers and EN-
ployes, and loaning of money at
usurlous rates were all discussed Incl
dentally to the original question.
When he was denouncing the loan
ing of money at what he called usur-
ious rates, Senator Hawley Conn. in
quired if the senator from Kansas had
any money he wanted to loan without
interest. Senator PETER said that un-
fortunately he was not ia condition
to do that, but when he had in the
past loaned money he thanked God he
had not exacted interest for its use and
he never would. Senator PETER at $40
reached what he denominated the sub.
ject of Parties. Then he paused and
said, while he was willing to continue
with his speech till sunrise tomorrow

Peculiar Defense.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 28.-A remarkable
defense of suit for the payment of an
insurance Ger ificate was entered here
by the insurance branch of the Ancient
Order of United Workmen: 1t is the
case of Elizabeth Bergin, who sues for
$4,000 due from the death of her nus
band, NJ. J. Bergin. The defense
gives numerous objections to payment,
but more particularly this: That
Bergin received death injuries while
making felonious assault Upon certain
person not named, ard it would be
against public policy to allow recovery
under such circumstances. The cor
oner's verdict upon Bergin's death
shows it was caused by fall. During
the inquest no evidence of fight had
been INDUCED in.

market closed easy at loss of 4 to
5-64 and spots were offered at easier
prices, sales aggregating 10000 bales.
Receipts as usual were the controlling
features. The total at all points was
$4,000 against 10000 bales last year
and 10000 the year before. New Or
leans expects tomorrow 5000 to 10000
against 2400 last year. The interior
movement showed decided increase
over that of year ago. Houston
during the past week has been stead
lily gaining and Brennan for the
week exceeded the figures Of a year
ago. The Atlantic states are much
larger. The total weekly movement
for the week aggregates 211 900 against
10000 last year and 100000 the year
before. A noticeable feature of this
movement has been the comparatively
small overland, showing plainly that
Eastern spinners are not inclined to be
free buyers, probably owing to the
difficulty of financing.
The prospective heavy receipts here
tomorrow ceused our market to con-
tinue to decline from the steady OPEN
ing until a loss of 10 points had been
established. Toward the closing there
was some recovery, and we finally close
at net loss Of 10 points. Spots were
easier at 1-8c lower. Sales aggregating
Al, 900 bales.
The country still continues to offer
very freely at prices relatively cheaper
than those prevailing in this market.
Some re action from the lowest was
caused by telegram from New York
to the effect that frost was expected at
Greenville and Gaffney, s. c., but this
was afterwards discredited. Tomorrow
being the last day of the month the
movement is likely to be heavy ow-
ing to the fact that receipts up to p.
m. are included instead OF only up to
noon as usual. Another heavy day
might cause further decline, but we
are inclined to approve the cautious
course recommended by one OF our
prominent exporter friends. whose
view is that Europe will not consider
7 1-2c for December cotton dear at this
season of the year, when there is pos
sibility of an early frost, even though
remote, and with the bureau still to be
heard from. Frost within the next
two or three weeks would be a most
important factor and bears are likely
to be cautious during that period un-
less encouraged by decidedly heavy
movement.

He said, in referring to business, and
in regard to the Sherman law in Ten.
nessee: "The feeling in Tennessee
grows stronger each day in favor of
the repeal OF the Sherman law, and
there is a very strong feeling that the
senate should not delay longer. Bush

THE NIGHT SESSION QUESTION.
There are good reasons for believing
the intention of repeal senators OF
making an attempt next Monday to
force the senate to sit at night, which
was so strongly limited at yesterday
has been abandoned or that the day
will be postponed until later in the
week. There is no doubt an effort was
to have been made on both sides of the
chamber to secure an agreement look
ing to night sessions, and Monday was
tie day the senators having the mat
ter in hand had named for the inaug-
uration of the movement. 1t would
appear, however, from developments
today, they were not as successful in
securing arquiesence in the program
as expected. Senator Voorhees,, when
asked about the program, refused to
express himself, and his silence would
indicate the progam for night sessions
is not yet perfected.

General Campos, is in such Serious
condition that his leg must be ampu-

From documents discovered and con-
fessions made the police have become
aware that an extensive anarchist con.
spiracy is in existence, and serious
plots have been spoiled in consequence
in Ceres, Bilbao and other towns in
Spain. The authorities are amazed at
the extent Of the anarchist plots and
