4 Diabolical Plot to Blow Up the NstionsA
Capitol and Many Other Public Build
ings, which Has Been In coarse OF DE-
yelopment for Weeks, Closely Wntcneo
by the Government Secret Services Asenis.
WASHINGTON, June 1s.-The Post to-
day publishes an expose of plot which
had for his object the blowing up Oh
che capitol and perhaps other govern
ment buildings which had been slowly
developing for several weeks past
The secret service and police authori-
ties, however, have been kept informed
of the movement of the plotters and
would have been able to thwart them
had their Vaccinations approached ac-
tual violence.
Only once" says the Post. about
three weeks ago, when the channel OF
information was unexpectedly inter
rupted, were the federal and dis
trict authorities really alarmed.
They did not know at what moment
an attempt might be made to ex-
plode bombs in the capitol, the
treasury building, the White House
and the war and navy building. But
as the days passed and nothing was
done, the authorities, who had re-
doubled their vigilance, restored the line
of communication with the nest of an
archists and were able again toshadow
every conspirator and to keep fully in
formed of anarchistic movements both
here and elsewhere"
The plot was formed at the time
Coxey's army was marching on the
capital and reports of its existence
came from various points-Omaha,
Chicago and Pittsburgh among them
The prime mover in the anarchistio
plot-that is, the Washington end Of it
was Honore jackson, a professional
Indian. In Chicago he has been a dis
turber for years. At the time of the
Haymarlzet riot he narrowly escaped
being arrested as principal conspira-
tor and was shadowed by the detec-
tives for long time after that most
memorable affair.

TO FORM a TRUST.
The Gasoline Stove Manufacturers to Unite
In a Combine.

In a Combine.
CLEVELAND, o., June I6.-A combi-
nation of manufacturers of gasoline
stoves is now considered a certainty.
The project has been fostered by sew
eral conventions, and only the details
of the consolidation remained incomp-
plete. The executive officer of the con-
Germ will be Hon. ID. 4. Dangler, of this
city. Emerson McMillin, president of
of the Laclede Gas-Light Co., of st.
Louis, has obtained options on ma
jority of the stock of the gas and gaso-
line stove manufacturing companies
all over the country, as a preliminary
step to the formation of trust in these
two industries, with capitol stock of
SIO.OOO.OOO.
Mr.. Dangler returned from confer
cnce in New York yesterday, and con-
firms the reported formation of the
trust. Mr.. Danglcr said to a United
Press reporter: The organization
has not yet reached a state of perfec-
tiOn. but we feel assured that a consol-
idatiOn will he effected. The capital,
with bond issue, will be $40, 600. 900, and
the manufacturers of these vapor
stoves which have a large sale
in the west, think that they can
save a large amount of money in
expenses by doing business as
one concern. The new consolidated
companies will probably receive
charter in Illinois. and the organiza-
tion may he completed very shortly.
There are six large manufacturers of
these stoves in Cleveland. Cincinnati,
st. Louis and other cities in the west.
1t is proposed to get them together in
working arrangement"
The principal firms to be merged
into the trust are: The Ringen Quick
Meal Co.. of st. Louis; George VI.
Clark, of Chicago; and the Dangler
Stove Co., of Cleveland.

The death of Muley Hassan, sultan
of Morocco, at the hands of some of
the personal attendants of his son is
an instance of poetic retribution which
is but infrequently paralleled. MuleY's
succession to the throne upon the death
of his father was attended by the mys-
terious disappearance of several of his
near male relatives, and the first years
of his reign We're marked by the re-
movals of all his kinsmen who might by
any possibility become leaders opposed
to the imperial will or policy. Mulcy
Hassan is succeeded by his son, Muley
Abdul Aziz, who is said to be fanat-
ical, cruel, ignorant semi-barbarian.
