Persons familiar with the region say
that had the lock at Thorold been of,en-

CONSPIRACY IS CHARGED:
OTTAWA, April 23--The news of the
attempt to wreck the Welland canal
caused a tremendous sensat ton here, and
there was much speculation as to what
the outrage meant. Mr.. McCleary, pres
ident of the Welland, expressed the opin-
ion that there was no political move
ment behind 1t and sad he believed that
if the facts should be gotten at it would
be found that grain handlers at Buffalo,
alarmed at the prospect of the diversion
to Canadian channels of a good deal of
product now going out by way of Buff
falo and New York, would be found to.
know something about it. This view,
however, is not generally shared, as there
is abundant evidence in the possession of
the government pointing to the existence
of a movement in the United States to
inf1ict injury upon Canada; on account of
her participation In the South African
war. The headquarters Of this move
ment, 1t is believed are in Chicago, and
it is said that confidential evidence show
ing the existence of a conspiracy, was
some time ago communicated to the
United States government -
The government has no eVidencecof any
conspiracy in the United States at Chi
cago or elsewhere, for the purpose of at

expressed here that the attempt 10 blow

SUSPECTS &RRAIGNED.
NIAGARA FALLS, N Y, April 23-The
three men under arrest charged with
trying to blow up the 1Welland canal
locks were arraigned before the police
magistrate on the Canadian side of the

were remanded pending the collection Of
evidence by the crown. Afguard from
