EXTRA PRECAUTIONS.
Special attention ia being paid tothc
slfety Of tho czarewitch. who is consid.
cred to be in more danger than any
other important parsonage now present
at Coburg. In addition to his body

has attached to his person some OF the
most experienced police agents in Ger.

The queen Of England. ia addition to
the special English policemen who have
been guarding her during her sojourn
ut Florence, Italy, has also been given
guard OF German detectives, although
her majesty expressed herself as being
perfectly satisfied with the police escort
which she has been accustomed to.

buildings in which members OF royal or
imperial families arc quartered are

rary. habitations Of the distinguished
visitors.
Particular attention ia also being paid
to the safety Of Emperor William, of
Germany. The body guard OF dotec-
tives who accompanied him to Abbaza
Venice, etc.. will follow him to this
city and keep constant guard over his
imperial majesty. The prince OF Wales
has two British detectives attached to
his person and he claims that even this
protection is unnecessary. But in
spite OF tho princes unconcern, n de-
tail OF German police will watch over
his safety while tho heir apparent OF
tho throne Of Great Britain is in this
city.
,z A PLOT KNOWN.
Inquiries made in police circles by
tho Associated Press representative
show that there is, apparently, somo
ground to believe that these elaborate
police precautions aro necessary, for it
is stated upon high authority that the
police Of Coburg and Berlin woro
warned some time ago that an anarchist
plot was In existence, and that an at
tempt would probably be made upon
tho life oiEmperor William OF Germany.
The Atgemtine ZsitIlHg seems to con-
firm the statement made by the police
officials, as 1t stntes, upon the authority
OF a prominent diplomat, that IN at
tempt was TO have been made to kill
Emperor William during the latter's
stay at Venice.
II Is presumed tina. this refers to tho
Incident in Venice when tho emperor
declined an invitation to go to the the
atre on Sunday, claiming that he never
visited such places OF entertainment on
tho Sabbath, but the real reason OF the
empcror's refusal to 60 to the theatre
was said to have been the discovery OF
an anarchist plot to kill him, and it is
tesred the attompt might be renewed in
this city.
