of the coal is consumed in Vienna. All
the shafts are provided with the most

ances, including double doors, con-

Ter system. The Franziska shaft is
$50 meters deep and connects by pas
sages with the Johannes shaft, which

The So Called Plot to Blow Up the Capitol
Is So Regarded in Washington.
WASHINGTON, June 19.-Every police,
secret service and treasury official here
regards as a pure fabrication the story
published in the Post yesterday that
grave anarchist conspiracy had been
unearthed. Horore Jackson affects in
dignation that his name should have
been used in connection with the
story. Jackson's landlady is indignant
that she should have been brought
into the fiction by having the 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 is supposed to be based, is re-
garded by Chief Hazen, of the secret
service, and by the police detectives as
utterly untrustworthy.
