WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-Under the terms Of an
International agreement, the French Government
has notified the State Department that seventy
immigrants, known 10 be Anarchists. are about
% sail for America, and instructions have been
sent to the police authorities throughout the
country to be on the lookout for these undesira-
bic visitors. whose names and descriptions are
given but will not be made public. The advice
thus sent TO the United States through the usual
diplomatic channels forms the basis Of \ senss-
tonal article in to-day's Post, setting forth that
the Superintendent of Police Of Washington has
for several months been in possession of the
proofs Of an anarchistic plot TO destroy Govern
ment buildings and public officials in the United
states and commit like atrocities In conjunc-
ton with those that have been committed in
European cities during the past year.
In June last the Post published the details Of
an alleged conspiracy arranged to operate in
America. with resulting murders and other
crimes. and claimed to have located the arch
conspirator in the person Of one Honore Jaxeon.
. half-witted Coxey sympathzer from Chicago.
who at once denied all knowledge of the alleged
conspiracy and threatened suit for libel. The
police authorities also denied that they were in
possession OF any information whatever regard
ing the alleged plot Of the Anarchists, and WASH
,nQton soon got over its fright Now the Post
has returned to the charge. The following Is a
,ummary Of its two-column article:

articles. and also document which shows
that the conspiracy was wider of scope and
More fendish Of purpose than the public had
beeu led TO suppose. Unwittingly. perhaps, the
Coxey movement came near making possible
the consummation of one Of the darkest schemes
the Anarchists ever conceived. When Coxey
and Browne were organizing their forces for
the march to Washington. nest of Chicago
Anarchists conceived the idea Of striking blow
at organized society under cover Of the ARMY
Of Peace They argued that whatever deviltry
was committed here while the Coxeyites were
in the neighborhood would be charged up to
them and in this they no doubt coniectured
correctly and except for q fortunate discovery
I'm Chicago nearly dozen Of the most reckless
Anarchists the world has ever known would have
been in Washington when the first of the Coxey-
ties arrived. That their errand was one Of MUIR
der and arson is proved by mass Of correspond
ence which was captured, and the confessions Of
member of the band, whose better nature as
serted itself almost at the last moment, thus
giving the detectives a chance to thwart their
plans.
Gen. Brennan, the astute head of the Chicago
police communicated with Mayor Moore and
Inspector Holtingberger soon as he satisfied
himself that q plot developing to blow
up public property here, and under cover
Of the attendant excitement commit murder.
and gave the name Of the Washington corre-
spondent of the Chicago Anarchists. Major
Moore and Inspector Holm berger promptly
ard without delay placed this individual under
the closest surveillance. His every movement
was followed. and each night two detectives
kept vigil before the house in the northwest sec
tion Of the city where he resided. He was seen
to meet strange men at the depots and other
places q number OF times, and an intercepted
letter TO him convinced the officials that the
Chicago warning had come none too soon. En-
closed with this letter was one in cipher, which
1t took long time to work out. The translation
