DISCOVERED IN TIME.
On Two Occasions Explosives
Were Placed in the
Basement.
FUSES BURNING WHEN FOUND.
Had the JanItor Been a Few Sec
onds Later Many Persons
Might Have PerIshed.

NEW HAVEN, CoNN., Oct. S.-A most
dastardly plot and one which came near
accomplishing its purpose was reported to
the office OF the State Attorney this after
noon. 1t was only by rare piece of good
fortune that the intended victim escaped.
Thea affair has caused great excitement
in the city and if the miscreants can be
captured they will undoubtedly be treated
in a summary manner. The person in
tended for the victim was Justice
Henry Beadle, who was holding his court
at Cheshire, about fourteen miles from
here. Some time last Saturday morning
the Town Clerk discovered several small
pieces of gaspipe in a dark part of the
cellar under the Town Hall. He picked
them up and found projecting from each
end partially burned fuse. They were
filed with explosives, and had it not been
that the fame was quenched by the damp
earth they would undoubtedly have &C.
complished their purpose
The matter was reported at once to the
authorities and placed in the hands of
special officers and for the time being kept
quiet.
To-day the most sensational feature
came. Town Clerk Landon, who had OBJ
served some suspicious characters around
the Town Hall. went once more into the
cellar and found several more improvised
bombs, each with time-fuse burning and
the explosive nearly reached. He put the
light out at once.
One of the bombs had become wet
through the moisture in the cellar, which
had prevented its exploding after the fuse
had burned down so far as to blacken the
gas-pipe covering. The other two were
comparatively dry, and had the fuses been
allowed to burn out the result would have
been terrible, as the time was in the mid
die of the day, when the hall was crowded
with people.
State Detective Leet is on the case, but
there is not the slightest clew as to the
perpetrators of the deed.
Justice Beadle lately convicted several
persons of violating the liquor law, and it
is thought that the attempt was made by
these. but the authorities seoff at the idea,
as they do not think that any of the
iquor-dealers would resort to such ex-
tremities. There IS no other plausible
clew, however.

The administration is likely before long to
be confronted with another internationa al

The Hawaiian question has assumed a
new phase and while no crisis has vet
arisen there is menace in the situation
which is likely at any moment to cause

OF the present administration toward the

advices explain the meaning of this refer

1t is stated that the japanese Govern.

Hawaiian Islands and to overthrow the
Dole Government. 1t is believed that the
next step in the new Japanese policy OF
aggression and acquisition will be in this
direction. 1t is asserted that japan is

STRIKE ON THE WORLD,
All Employees Of the Mechan-
iCal Department Quit
Work.
But They We're Induced to Return
and Get Out the Paper on
Time.

NEW YORK, n. Y. Oct. 9.-Promptly
at II o'clock this morning the entire force
OF compositors, pressmen. stereotypers
and other attaches of the mechanical de-
partment of the New York World went on
strike, causing CONSERVATION to the
management, and at 12:45 work in the
building was at .tand.till.
The strike appears to be sympathetic
with the employees of George r. Read, who
has charge of the Pulitzer building and
hires the elevator men, engineers and elec.
tricians.
The trouble started several weeks ago
when several elevator conductors struck
on account of reduction in their salaries
from $12 to $40 week. The trouble was
apparently settled at the time, but since
then there has been growing among the
other employees of Read, and they succeeded
in enlisting the sympathy of the members
OF the "Big Six and other labor organiza-
tions represented in the building.
The engineers and electricians, who be-
long to labor unions, assert that nom
union men have been placed at work with
view OF taxing their places.
The strike was started shortly before II
O'Clock, when the engineers and cleo
trlcians, about Is in number, left the build
Ing. 1t was stated that non-union men
were secured and hurriedly put in their
places. When this fact became known il
is said the compositors refused to work
until they were removed and were Joined
shortly afterward by the others.
The management at once made en-.
deavors to settle the trouble and about
O'Clock the men returned temporarily in
order to enable the World to get out their
morning edition.
1t was stated at 1:20 this morning that
the compositors and other employees of the
World did not strike, but were forced to
quit work on account of the firemen and
engineers stopping work, which shut off
the light and the power operating the
type-setting machines. 1t is authorita.
lively stated that the "Big Six" took nc
part in the strike and had no connection
with the employees of George R. Reed.
Business Manager Norris of the World
arrived on the scene shortly after ]
O'Clock. He said that the trouble had
nothing to do with the World manage
ment. The tiremen are also employed by
Reed, and the trouble was caused princi.
pally by them. The fires were allowed to
run down. Operations in the building were
delayed over an hour and half. The
strike, it is stated, was ordered by the
walking delegates of the union on the
ground that non-union men were being

BUT DEPUTIES OBJECT.
Both Houses of the Great
Episcopal Convention Not
in Accord.
NAME OF THE CHURCH GIVEN.
1t VIII Hereafter Be Known as a
Protestant Faith Of the
United States.

/ MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, Oct SIT was
with somewhat OF a feeling of relief that
the Episcopal House of Deputies of the
general convention suspended it's session
of the revised constitution for while to-
day to take up a few crumbs of still an
other revision of the revision that had
fallen from the Bishops table. The faith
ers of the church, themselves probably not
anxious to be forestalled, or unwilling to
allow the lower house to go very far into
its work without their own views and
ideas, foreign to the outside world, had
been doing little revising on their own
account for couple of days and the re-
suits were apparent in the messages pre-
sented, with courtly dignity. by Secretary
Hart.
The Bishops preferred the term "gen-
eral convention. to synod" ard the term
assistant Bishop" to "Bishop coadu-
tator," both suggestions being in line
with those already approved by the house.
They also favored the title of 'primate"
for the presiding officer, recommended
that retired Bishops be given seat in the
house and proposed new title to the con-
stitution. Such of the various amend
ments as the house had not already ap-
proved provoked debate that covered two
sessions but the Bishops had their way
right through and only the arrival of the
hour for adjournment prevented the add
ing OF the word ''primate" to the minutes
of the day.
Just before the delegates dispersed the
House of Bishops announced concurrence
in the resolutions dividing the dioceses of
Tot, m
first vote by dioceses of the present con-
vention was demanded upon the designa-
ton of the constitution sent down by the
Bishops. This ran as follows: THE con-
stitution and canons of the government of
that portion of the Catholic church known
in law as the Protestant Episcopal church
of the United States of America
There was no debate and the designation
was adopted. No sooner had the result OF
| the ballot been declared than some of the
mem bers took alarm and wanted the rest
of the message postponed until a more
convenient season. DR.. Huntington. the
New York orator and parliamentarian
said the house had done what was abso.
lutely without precedent in passing an
amendment to the constitution without
discussion and he hoped that such action
would never be repeated. Ex-senator
Edmunds, however, thought it would be
most expeditions to go on with the subject
at once SO that if any amendments weIe
decided upon the Bishops might have
them without delay.
The house thought the same way. The
proposition OF the Bishops to substitute
the word synod" for convention" was
non-concurred in by vote, the volume oi
/ which seemed nearly equal. On the
! proposition to accept the title "Bishor

ORLANDO, FLA, Oct. 8.-W. A. Braw-

County, was savagely whipped Sunday
night because he was suspected of reflect
ing on the character of the women of Matt
land. For months citizens OF that place
have been receiving anonymous letters in
which foul language was used regarding
their wives and daughters.
Brawner was suspected of writing the
letters, and Sunday night, as he was re-
turning from Orlando, he was waylaid by
Aldermen Heard and Lawson, Postmaster
Rawls and Samuel Pullman, all of Matt
land. Brawper was pulled from his buggy,
stripped, tied to a tree and lashed with
rawhides. His back was literally cut to
shreds his left cheek laid open and one of
his ears torn off. The victim shrieks were
heard mile away, and the Marshal of the
place came to the rescue. Brawner is

BOSTON, MASS, Oct. 8.-Reports that a

terests to be somewhat premature. There
have been from time to time meetings of
representatives of large interests in the

even progressed as far as the formation of

of representatives OF the various sub-com-

matter before the next session of Con-

Suicide.
NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. S.-Augustus
Cogel, 55 years old, of West Brighton,
Staten Island, attempted suicide last night
by shooting himself twice in the forehead
with 32-caliber revolver. Cogel tried to
end his life because he could not support
his family. He was once wealthy, but his
fortune was lost through the operations of
Frederick Baker last winter. Baker was
executor OF Cogel's fathers estate.
Cogel and his sister, who inherited their
fathers fortune of 100000, consisting of
both cash and real estate, left the manage
ment of the estate to Baker. When he
suddenly died at the time of the disclosure
of the bank defalcation it was discovered
that he had spent all the money of the
Cogels and sold their real estate, which
was situated in Jersey City. Baker mad
paid to them their annual income of $12O0
each as "blind." Cogel will recover.
