Nav York, June IA Washington
dispatch to a morning paper says: A
newspaper here will publish tomorrow
an exposure of plot which has for its
object the destruction of the capitol and
perhaps Of several buildings which has
been slowly developing for several
weeks.
The secret service and police authori-
ties, however, have been Kept informed
Of the movements Of the plotters, and
would have been enabled to thwart
them had their Vaccinations approached
actua. ST.. ..co.
Only one, says the newspaper, about
three weeks.sgo, when the channel Of
information was Unexpectedly inter-
rupted, were the Federal aud District
authorities really alarmed. They did
not know at what moment an attempt
might be made 70 explode bombs in the
Capitol, the Treasury building, the
White House and the War and Navy
building Bat as the days passed aud
nothing was done the authorizes, who
had redoub.ed their vigilance, restored
the line Of cou&uuication with the nest
Of Anarchists and were able again TO
shadow every conspirator and to keep
full informed Of AnarchistiC movements

According to the story, the plot was
formed at the time Coxey'S army was
marching to the Capitol, and reports Of
its existence came FROM various poin Is,
Omaha, Chicago and PitJsburg among
them.
The prime mover in the Anarchis:ic
iplot-that is the Washington end Of it
was Houore Saxon. he came
IN Chicago aud is still, in
J. city. lie is professional
( dian. In Chicago be had been dis
- ,s6er for for Year,. AT the time of the
ayscarGeJ riot he narrowly escaped
being arrested as principal cOusp,ra-
tor and was Swallowed by detectives Tor
lcag time after that most
memorable affair. JaNOn Is
half breed of unknown
tribe. He was one OF Louis Re.'s lieu
tenants in the Canaeian rebellion some
wears ago. The man has done some
newspaper work and has frequently
passed himself of as reporter for q
Chicago paper.
The fact that the Anarchists have
/ committed no act in Washington upon
which they could be convicted, has
prevented their arrest here. Their
meetings have been small and secret.
Their experiments with chemicals
have been such that 10 could
hardly be proven that they
intended TO resort 20 extreme measures.
They have written no letters. In fact,
aIl along they have waited for some
thing 10 happen-s0mething which
would give them an opportunity 70
carry out the scheme of violence.
Jaxpp'S headquarters was the residence
OF a Freuchmgn named SGyaut The
coDspirat0rs met there and at other
nIaces and about three weeks ago the
meetings became so frequent aud so
many strange men came aud went that
the officers felt that they were losing
their grasp OF the situation. There was
danger that the climax might come at
snv time and great alarm was ielt.
The Capitol officers, iacluding the
Sneaker Of the House aud Treasury
peoUle, including Secretary Carlisle,
felt very uneasy, The discovery Of the
formula for making the explosive which
consUirators propose TO use, says
IA article in conclusion, is prOOa-
r biz the best piece Of work done
by the detectives. As soon as police
obtained this formula they then took
we'll known chemist ald asked him
10 make up sample. He did so
in his laboratory and placed
il on window sill 10 the sun. In a
few moments there was sn explosion.
There was terrific concuSsiou, and a
most nauseating and bunding smoke,
although the quantity Of the chemical
experimeuted with was very small.
A cat which was in the room died in a
few seconds from the effects Of the
vapOr.
AN occasion for the use OF explosives
the Anarchists hope, IL is said, will Oe
furnished by the arrival o. that part Of
Frye's industrial army now reported In
the Cumberland valley.
