PLOT To KILL FAURE
FRENCH .REDs. REPORTED TO BE
PLANNING ASSASSINATION.
Alleged Conspiracy Against the Life
of the French President-story of
n Britisher from Hawaii.

PARIS April 18.-The Petit Journal an
nounees that it has good authority for
stating that the prefecture OF police has
detailed number of detectives to investi-
gate an Anarchist plot the object of which
is or was to assassinate NJ. Faure. the
President of the republic, during the fetes
at Havre in honor of his visit to that city.
President Faure represented one of the dis
tricts of Havre in the Chamber of Deputies
previous to his election to the chief mag
istracy OF the republic. The President is
also ship owner of Havre and member
of it's Chamber of Commerce, of which
body he was formerly president During
the Franco-Prussian war he commanded
battalion of volunteers from Havre and
led them to Paris, where he took part in
the suppression of the commune. Naturally
the inhabitants of Havre have been look
ing forward to the Presidents visit to their
city with considerable pleasure and
lied in order to show the esteem in which
he is held in his electorate. According to
the Petit Journal. an Anarchist known as
Petit Bordeaux, a man OF type similar
to Casero, the murderer of President Car
not, and Ravachol, the Anarchist who was
executed after having been convicted of
being concerned in dynamite outrages, left
London recently on his way to Havre IN
order to assassinate President Faure
Petit Bordeaux" who is a deserter from
the French army, was watcned py the Ion
don police and by the French detectives
London. Consequently his departure from
London was promptly signaled to the police
of Paris and of Havre. The authorities of
these tworcities and elsewhere are taking
the most active precautions in order to pro-
tect the President from injury. Whether
this story is true or not 1t would seem
certain at least that the Anarchists have
recommended operations, for two internal
machines were found in this city yesterday.
The first was found in the Rue St. Simon
and contained a number OF loaded cart
ridges the second was found the
Esplanade des Invalides and consisted of a
cylinder charged with dynamite.
President Faure arrived at Havre to-day
from Rouen and was enthusiastically
cheered. At the prefecture the President
ish war ship Australia, specially sent to
represent Great Britain ia recognition OF
the French courtesies extended to Queen
Victoria during her stay in the south of
France.

Below the Syndicate Price.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE Evening
Post says: An interesting story was cur
rent in well-informed Wall-street circles
to-day concerning the new four-per-cent-
government bonds and the operations of the
syndicate. 1t was to the effect that sue
cessful bidders in London for the new four
percent. bonds had sold a large amount
through arbitrage house in this city, deliv-
cradle here in August. at prices considera-
bly, below the price prevailing in this mar
ket, due allowance being made for the diff
ference in interest, exchange, etc. that the
managers of the syndicate, as soon as they
learned of the facts, read the riot act to
the arbitrage brokers, members of the syn
dictate here, and that J. Pierpont Morgan,
who is now in London, did the same thing
Immediately on his arrival there and
stopped all further sales of the bonds on the
terms mentioned. Now it is said, no bonds
can be obtained in London except at the
equivalent of the New York market price,
with the necessary allowance for differ
ence in interest, etc. Arbitrage brokers
members of the syndicate were unwilling
to talk about the matter to-day, except to
protest that they had no knowledge of any
such transactions those mentioned. They
admitted, however, that bonds had been
sold in London, deliverab BILE here in August.

WASHINGTON, April 1s--Senator Nor
gan was asked to-day for an expression re-
garding the report cabled from London that
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British embas-
sador. had forwarded to his government
full statement of the facts in the matter
of the payment of damages by this gov
eminent for the seizure of British vessels,
and replied that he was perfectly willing
TO have the question investigated. Il have
he said. such conf1ence in the fairness
and good judgment of the British House of
Commons that feel that nothing can be
lost by its going into the matter at length.
I very confident that an inquiry into
the merits of the claims. even outside of
the Paris award, will convince any one that
the claims are entirely unfounded. extor-
Tomato and wrong
There is reason for believing that when
this. question of payment of the damages
shall again conse before Congress the oppo-

the terms of the Paris award. A member
of the Senate who has given considerable
bearings said, in discussing the proposal
to pay this damage claims: THE principles
raised by the Boring sea award destroy the
claims Of Great Britain to damages for
the seizure of any ships which. before the
date of the award were found fishing with
in sixty miles of the Pribyloff islands, or
in Bering sea, with guns. explosives or
nets. or after the 1st of May to the LIST of
August in the Pacific ocean north of IS
degrees north latitude. Both governments
are bound to accept the enunciations made
by the Paris commission the measure of
their rights and duties on this subject as
applicable not merely since the making of
the award but before. 1t was the just and
equitable duty of Great Britain before the
award made to do just what the
award required of that country towards
the United States"
When Senator Morgans attention was
called to this view of the question he de-
clined, on account of his connection with
the Paris tribunal and with the Senate,
to discuss it. saying ii would be improper
for him at this time to do so.

LONDON, April 1s.-Frederick Harrison.
who says he has been a resident of Ha-
waii for seventeen years, has written
letter to the press from San Francisco COM
planning of the treatment to which British
subjects have been subjected in Hawaii
He says: when the plan of revolt was
prematurely discovered in January the gov
eminent seized the pretext to make whole
sale arrests /, with Others was confined
in a crowded, filthy prison. British subjects
and others were subjected in prison to
tortures, in the hope of obtaining evidence
and to dragon them into testffying as di-
rectsd. To the credit of England, only one
man surrendered to the dastardly methods.
The dark cell. hunger, being thrust naked
tainted, threats of execution. the arrest
of other members of the prisoners family
and brides are only samples of the methods
employed" Harrison also complains that
the British government did not take any
notice of afffdavits which were forwarded
to England by British subjects who were
subjected to oppression OF this character.
The St. James Gazette, commenting on
Harrison's letter, says that the Hawaiian
government applied mild form of torture
to the prisoners accused of sediton against
the republic, and expresses the opinion
that the British Foreign Office should in
vestigate the charges made. adding: IF
true. we are bound to withdraw our recog-
milton of this government of Second-rate

AFRICAN PRINCE IN EXILE.
King Cetewayc's SON Likely to Share
NapOleOn's Fate.

NEW YORK, April 1S-A dispatch from
the Isle of st. Helena says: Prince Dinuzu,
son of King Getewayo, Of Zulu war fame
and his followers are likely to die in exile
like the great Napoleon en- this lonely isle.
They were sent here after the Zulu war, in
which so many British soldiers and the
young Prince Napoleon fell. The Zulu
Prince was accompanied by Chiefs Nota-
fh,,lxlI and Tshinanga their servants wives
and children. They have been weaned from
savage life and reconciled to civil GUS
toms. but all are miserable in exile. The
Natal government has twice consented to
the release, and the steamer Umzuki was
sent out from England recently to take
the Prince and his followers back to Zulu
land. After the steamer left England a
fresh outbreak between the Beers Dutch)
and Zulus in south Africa warned the Brit
ish government against releasing the
Prince, and the British war ship Swallow
was dispatched to prevent the Zulu Prince
from leaving the island. The Swallow ar
rived here while the Prince and his fol-
lowers, were preparing for, departure. Thus
ends his dream of freedom, for another
term of years at least
