THE BLACK PLAGUE.
The Epidemic Now Raging in Hong Kong
China.

China.
SAN FRANCISCO June 2O.-The steamer
Belgic arrived yesterday with details
of the black plague now raging at
Hong Kong. Despite the operations
of the sanitary staff and the police, as
sisted by the army medical staff corps
and soldiers from the Sharp Shire regi-
ment, about 500 new cases had been re-
ported within a week and there had
been 400 deaths up to May "a.
News from Canton, where the plague
started, states that the death rate now
averages 200 day. During March and
April they averaged 500 daily. Al
though the fact that the ''black death
was raging in Canton became known
only about month ago, it appears
that the disease started as long ago as
last February.

Narrowing Story of an Anarchist
Plot.
Sensational Report About Blowing Up tho
Capitol and Other Buildings Which
IL Positively Denied-Tress-

A Sensational Story.

n oensatiOnAi StOTys
WASHINGTON, June 1s.-An anarchist
plot to blow up the public buildings in
Washington has been discovered by the
district police. The leader of the an
archists is II. j. Jaxon, a half-breed
French Canadian who has for years
been closely identified with the Chi
cago anarchists, and whose office has
been located in the Times building in
that city.
For weeks past house at 1921 Yer
mont avenue, in this city, where the
secret meetings of the anarchists have
been held, has been watched by the
police, and q man named De Masters,
known both as doctor and professor,
and an ex-Episcopalian minister, has
attended the meetings and Is the in
formant.
The formula from which the explo-
sives were to be made has been OBJ
tanned, the compound made and tested.
Even with the knowledge that the
facts were to be published, the police
refused to give out the information
In their possession as to the extent Of
the plot or the names of the men who
were associated with Jaxon. It 10
settled that eight men met regularly
at 1921 Vermont avenue, but whether
this comprised all those in the plot
could not be learned. Jaxon will be
remembered as chief lieutenant to
Louis Reil in the half-breed Canadian
rebellion. Last night it was believed
all the anarchists had fed.
what the Police Say.
WASHINGTON, June l0.-Every police,
secret service and treasury official here
regards as pure fabrication the story
published In the Post yesterday that q
grave anarchist conspiracy had been
unearthed. Honore jackson affects in
dignation that his name should have
been used in connection with the
story. Jaclxson's landlady Is indignant
that she should have been brought
into the fiction by having tho street
and number Of her house given, and
she does not scruple to say that Jack
son wrote the article himself. De
Masters, upon whose statements the
article IL supposed to be based, Is re-
garded by Chief Hazen, of the secret
service, and by the police detectives as
utterly untrustworthy.
Treasury Deficit.
WASHINGTON, June 16.-Treasury off,

The progress made on the tariff bill

NOTABLE DEATHS.
Demise of Two Prominent Public
Men.
Ex-Congressman Bayne. of Pennsylvania,
In a Fit of Dependency Commits
Suicide-Death OF Ex Minister
william Walter Phelps.
Took His Own Life.

Took His Own Life.
WASHINGTON, June ls.-In fit of de-
spondency resulting from long and in
durable illness and depressed by a sud-
den and violent attack of dangerous
symptoms, Thomas M. Bayne, for seven
terms representative Of the Allegheny
district in congress, Saturday morn
ing forestalled the end by sending
q bullet through his head and killing
himself instantly. At the time he was
alone with the servants in his hand
some and luxurious home at 1929 Massa-
ionable part Of the city, his wife being
temporarily absent in Philadelphia.
He had been i'll for long time and
indeed 1t was his i'll health that caused
him to resign his labors in congress
where he had earned a reputation as a
clever, vigorous debater and an expert
on the complexities of the metal sched-
ule of tariff bills. About eighteen
months ago he was induced to take a
voyage around the world and when he
returned last July 1t appeared that he
had improved very much. The gain
was but temporary, however, and he
suffered greatly from fits of depression
consequent upon the mutations of
his disease which was consumption.
Mr.. Bayne was one of the best known
republican politicians in Pennsylvania
and was on the ways and means COM
mittee in the last congress. He de-
clined to run again for this congress on
account of ill-health, and had since
been out of active politics. He be-
longed to the branch of the party of
which Senator Quay is the head.
Mr.. Bayne was born in Allegheny,
Pa, just fifty-eight years ago Thurs
day last.
william Walter Phelps Dead.
New YORK, June l9.-Ex-Minister
William Walter Phelps died shortly be-
fore o'clock Sunday morning at his
home at Tea Neck, N. J. He had been
i'll long time, and quite recently went
south in the hope his condition would
be improved. He derived but little ben
eft from his southern trip, and but a
short time ago was so Frustrated that
his physician ordered absolute quiet.
Gradually he grew weaker, and for the
past few days hisdeath has been looked
for at almost any moment. His physi-
clans paid their last visit at 1O:15 Satur-
day night. He died few hours later,
surrounded by his wife and daughter
and his two sons, John J. and Sheffield.
The exact nature Of Mr.. Phelps all
ment was never definitely stated, but
his illness was primarily from typhoid
fever, which was followed by menin-
gifts and other complications. He was
not naturally of robust constitution
and he inherited pulmonary troubles.
The end was calm, as though he was
falling into q slumber. Mrs. Phelps is
prostrated, the result of her long watch
by her husbands bedside.
