With regard to the situation in West

though the conspirators were fortunately
arrested, the time of exposing their plans
was inopportune. as it might result in a
change being made in the arrangements
for the reception of the Gear.
1t was planned that his Majesty should
be driven through many OF the principal
streets OF the city in order to give the pop
ulace a good view of him. 1t is now
thought in view of the conspiracy that has
been unearthed that the route will be
much shortened. This will cause great
disappointment to the Parisians.
The police have been keeping a close
watch on all known anarchists and nihil-
lists, and it is generally believed that
many of them will be arrested as meas

SAN JOSE TARGET TOURNAMENT.
TsUO Hundred Hen Erpected to Face the
Traps.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Sept. 14-Preparation
for the State tournament of the California
Inanimate Target Association, which will
be held in this city on October and 4,
are well under way. Much interest is be-
ing manifested in the shoot by marksmen
all over the State and the indications are
that it will be the largest blue rock tour
nament ever held in the world. 1t is ex-
pected that over 200 men will face the
traps and between 10000 and 1000 blue
rocks will be broken.
The Garden City Cyclers' Gun Club has
$500 cash and $500 worth of merchandise
already subscribed as prizes, and the Cali.
fornia Inanimate Target Association will
add $500 cash.
Shooting grounds have been prepared on
the Polhemus Tract. Five sets of electric
pull traps will be provided. The trappers.
judges and referees will all be com petent
men, and nothing will be lacking In the
arrangements to make the shoot a success.
The entries will be made on the night of
October at the Hotel Vendoms, which is
to be the headquarters of the association
during the tournament. On the evening
of October banquet will be rendered
the visitors at the Vendome, at which the
prizes will be distributed.

sor. Through him the nihilists and
Fenians were brought together and it was
due 20 his efforts that the alliance between
them was entered into.
The police here in their investig ations
early learned that the magazine of the
plotters was located at Berchiem. suburb
of Antwerp, and when the plans for the
arrest were complete the authorities OF
that city were notified and an attempt
was made to arrest the men in the house
where the explosives were stored.
This, however, failed, but it is thought
certain that Kearney and Hams, alias
Wallace, who were arrested at Rotterdam,
are the Irishmen who lived in the house
at Bercheim. Kearney sent Bell to Glas-
gov for the purpose of sounding the physi-
cal force party there as to their willingness
to resort to the use of dynamite.
1t has been learned that while lyman
was in Paris he consorted with notorious
anarchists and nihihsts. He always had
plenty of money, which he spent freely
among his associates. He was voted a
good fellow" but there were those among
his com panions who did not approve of
this air of braggadocio and threats of
vengeance against England.
1t was thought that be did altogether
too much talking and he was several
times warned that his tongue would get
him in trouble with the police if he did
not put curb upon it. 1t is not expected
that the nan will be extradited until the
conclusion of the Cars visit to France.
Great praise is awarded to Inspector
Melville for mis- work in shadowing and
arresting the conspirators.
1t is believed that his work has put q
quietus on a plot that, had it been sue
cessful, would have been far reaching in
its results and which would have made
matters worse fol Ireland, instead of bet
tering her condition. The leading mem
bers of the Nationalist party emphatically
deny any sympathy with the physical
force party. whose ideas they characterize
as chimerical and tending to undo what
ever progress has been made in the Irish
cause.

oxALIo ACID ron SALTS.
a Careless Druggist Kills a Prominent
German at Brooklyn

German at Brooklyn.
BROOKLYN, n. Y, Sept 14.-Jacob
Mebolt, recording secretary of the Schwae-
bischen Saengerbund of Brooklyn and
president of the Cannaster Sick Benefit
Society, died yesterday morning of oxalic
acid poisoning He took a dose of the
acid, believing it to be Carlsbad salts, and
was dead in about an hour. Coroner Ma
son has caused the arrest of Charles f.
Zimmerman, druggist, at whose store the
poison was obtained.
Mcboldt was 43 years old and active in
German affairs. Before he left his home
on Saturday evening to attend meeting
of the Sick Benefit Society he sent his
twelve-year-oId daughter Annie to Tim
merman's for five cents worth of salts.
Zimmerman gave the girl a small pack
age which she took home. Meboldt about
10 O'Clock yesterday morning took dose
of the supposed salts. In few minutes
he complained of cramps, got up, stag
gered around and sank TO the floor. When
a physician arrived ne was unconscious
and died forty minutes later.
The police were notified and detective
went to the drugstore. Zimmerman told
him that Meboldt's daughter had plainly
asked for oxalic acid, saying that her
mother wanted to polish metal. The sale
had been duly recorded in the druggist 8
poison book.
On being questioned young Annie Me-
boldt declared that she asked for Carlsbad
salts. She was asked TO pronounce the
words oxalic acid. She was unable to do
so and said she never heard those words
before. She repeated her statement TO Cor
oner Mason, who then issued a warrant
against the druggist.
