PLOTTED REVOLUTION.
Crispi's Statement of the Scheme of the
Anarchists in Sicily.

Rome, February 2s.-In the Chamber
OF Deputies, today, Signor Crispi ex-
planned the governments reason for pro-
claiming state of siege, in Sicily.
Documents which came into possession
of the authorities at Massa di Carrara
proved the existence of socialist and an
archist plans to reorganize and repeat
the uprising on a scale approaching the
proportions of a revolution. With this
in view, foreign anarchist leaders were
focking to Sicily. At meeting of
foreign and italian anarchists recently,
in Marseilles, he said, it was resolved to
foment an uprising of peasants in
Sicily. Promises were to be made to the
peasantry to divide the lands among
them. This outbreak was to occur
during 1894 when, according to the
representations of the conspirators,
foreign war would break out, Piedmont
would be invaded, and Russian fleet
would occupy Italian waters. The revo-
luton having been discovered the gov
ernment promptly seized all anarchist
and documents found, and
proclaimed state of SIEGE The state
ment of Premier Crispi, together with the
su omission of the documents mentioned
made profound impression upon the
chamber.

1t Is the First Time that General Elec-

Be Acceptable to the Insurgents-It LIS
Claimed that the Contest Promises To
Be Peaceful and Honest.
Rio de Janeiro, February 2S-All
preparations for the Presidential election
tomorrow are complete The nomina-
tions have been made known mainly by
advertisements in the newspapers. There
has been little argument In favor of any
candidate and questions of national
policy have been hardly mentioned. DR..
Prudente Moraes, president of the Senate
and ex-president of Sac Paulo province,
is the leading candidate for the Presi-
dency of the Repu bile. Much surprise
was caused by the appearance of ex-
Minister Ruy Barbosa's name in the list
of candidates. He was supposed
previously to be loyal to the insurgen is
and his candidacy is regarded as evidence
that he has forsaken their cause He
was the financial agent of the insurgent
government, and his detection, if accom-
pilshed, will be a heavy blow to Mello
and Da Cana. The advertised candi-
dates for the vice presidency are DIR.
Alfonso Penna, President of the State
of Minas Geraes, and the ablest states
man in Brazil, Floriano p eixouo, the
President, and two others of local fame.
The government organ, the Opaiz sup
ports Moraes and Penna. Several in
1uential insurgents said yesterday that
Moraes and Penna would be satisfactory
to them IN case 1t sh ould prove i'm
possible to restore the monarchy. This
will be Brazil's first popular election
of President. There is every Indication
hat the balloting will proceed peace
fully. Nobody is talking of intimidation
Or fraud. Congress will count the votes
and declare ths result.
That all Jnis will be done in good
aith is proba BILE if not certain.

Novel Offer.
Washington, February 2S.-Secretary
Carlisle has received an offer of IS cents
per ounce for 100000 ounces of the
silver bullion now in the treasury. The
offer comes from the British and Ameri-
can Industrial investment syndicate.
The syndicate through ]. T. Raplee,
proposes to enter into a contract with
the United States to be opposed by the
President to take so or 10 million ounces
of silver at 65 cents per ounce and pay
for it in lawful money of the United
States, or in approved bills of exchange
on London. Mr. Raplee agrees to take
not less than 100000 ounces monthly
with the option of taking 100000 ounc-
es. AS condition precedent to entering
into the contract, he requires that an ex-
port duty of II IL cents per ounce for a
period of five years be levied on all silver
coined or uncoined, sent out of the Unit
ed States. The witer refers to Senator
Hill of New York as to his financial
standing.

And the Democratic Caucus Gave 1t Up
as Bad Job.
Washington, February 2S.-The Senate
Democratic caucus and the Democratic
members of the financial committee,
held fruitless sessions this morning. AT
ter the finance committee had been in
session "a short time, Senators Hill,
Murphy, Smith, Brice, White and CATER
ty were sent for. These six senators
were requested to state their grievances
as tersely as possible. This conference
lasted for upwards of two hours.
At the afternoon session of the caucus,
Mr.. German made strong plea TOR the
Democrats to harmonic. de SAD IL
was the duty of the party to pass re-
form tariff measure. He believed tnat
by making concessions the bill could be
passed. Mr.. Pugh made speech in ia,
vor of duty on iron ore. He moved
that the committee be directed to put
iron ore on the dutiable list This mo-
ton was defeated, 10 to II, Mr.. Hill not
voting. Mr. Pugh said as the vote was
so close, and some senators were absent,
he did not feel bound by the vote and re-
served the right to offer an amendment
to the bill when it came into the Senate.
The attitude of Mr.. Pugh led to the con-
cluson that it would be impossible for
the caucus to accomplish anything def
mite, and motion to recommit the bill
to the full Democratic membership of
the finance committee ito shape it in ac-
cordance with the views expressed and
harmonize the differences was made by
Mr.. VOORHEES,. This motion was carried
without opposition.

Wanted-A Leader.

Inc question of organizing dram- atic club in Flagstaff has been pretty freely discussed by those who would display an enthusiastic interest in it's doin9s, but no one mas been found who cares to shoulder the responsi- bility of manager and director of the enterprise. There is considerable his trionic ability concealed within the en- virons of lhe town, and under proper management some of the standard dramas and comedies might be pro- duccd without any great loss of life. The season of decayed cabbagcs and over-ripe hen fruit has passed, the sick hens have recovered their equil- ibrium and stage fright need not be an important factor in the performances. But without treating the subject flip panty, THE SUN believes that the local talent of which Flagstaff boasts can do itself proud and help to dissi- pate the dreariness of ,hc long winter evenings. A local dramatic club is always popular social institution, and there are always golden opportunities for working good in charitable and other fields. A membership of about twenty-five would keep the dues within the proper bounds and make the social feature the more enjoyable Who will take the iniatory stepP

Ills BACK WAS BROKEN.
But a san Francisco Surgeon Put
 Charles Allen on His Feet Again.

ies AiieH on HIS Feet Again.
 The San Francisco ''Chronice" of n recent date devotes column and a half to the account of wonderfully successful surgical operation upon Charles Allen. of Sacramento, who is Il brother of Dick Allen. of Flagstaff, and who spent last summer at this place.
 Ten years ago, while working us a brakeman, Allen slipped from the frosty roof of box car and fell in Il sitting posture, aStiitle of rail, As a direct result his legs were paralyzcd and gradually they began 10 waste away. At first Allen thought little of his injury. and it was years before the iull effects began to be felt His suf- ferings had reduced his weight from l60 to 75 pounds.
 The spine had been fractured from the second lumbar vertebre down through the sacrum and coccyx. The result was pathological growth in these bones, causing an enlargement nine inches long and seven inches wide. This protruded fully two inches from the level of the back to the apex of the swelling, and presented form ation not unlike huge tumor. It was under these conditions that Dr. II. G. McGill undertook the case. Finding that all ordinary methods of treatment failed to restore the use of his legs to the patient or to give him freedom from pain, it became evident that only in the most heroic and deli cate surgical treatment was there any hope of aifording the sufferer the re- lief he sought.
 The surgeons removed part of the patients spine, and he is getting along famously. The operation is pro nounced one of the most daring opera lions in the annals of surgery, and it is claimed that Allen is the only man who, after having part of his spine re- moved, not only survives to relate his experience, but lives to enjoy a renew al of the health he lost when he fell and broke his back. Allen, they say, IS getting fat again.

Through 4 Iaska Amid Difficulties.

A Flagstaff audience is never cold. There is too many of the "young idea for that, and they never let their en- ihnsiasm lag for a moment. The fu- ture prominent citizens of Flagstaff were out in force last night to hear Prof. Scott lecture on "Alaska" at the NJ. E. church. Some of the kids, who came purely for the purpose of being instructed, insisted on sharing the lecture with the professor. He very naturally objected, and was ob- liged to escort several of the mischicv- ous urchins to seats before he could proceed.
 When the speaker alluded the to Yu- kon river as the longest in inc world, he incidentally remarked that if there was a school teacher present he might challenge her to prove the contrary.
 Up went little paw, and a still, small voice chirpcd: "Dere is one here. Miss Smith is here"
 "Dere's two here," said another youngster who was ycarning to display his knowledge.
 Such unseemly interruptions arecal- culated to disconcert Il public speaker, but the lecture and the excellent stcr- eopticon views of life in alaska proved instructive and entertaining to the adult portion of the audience, and the children appreciated tbo photographs of the strange people of the ice region from the cal'toonist's standpoint. Ev- eryone that had lantern came out to the lecture, and the library fund of the public sch9ol will share iu the pyccesda '.'
