1887 was fully endorsed by them.
From these and other facts which
have been developed I am satisfied that
there will be a concerted movement in
the event of restoration for the overthrow
Of that constitution, which would mean

by the queen is chapter 6. section g., of
the penal code, as follows: Whoever shall
commit the crime of treason shall suffer
the punishment Of death, and all his prop
erty shall be con6scated to the govern ,
ment.' There are, under this law, no de-
grees of treason. Plotting alone carries
with it the death sentence. I need hardly
add in conclusion that the tension of feel
ing is so great that the promptest action
is necessary to prevent disastrous conse-
guences. | send a cipher telegram asking
