STRICT PRECAUTIONS
Being Taken To Prevent Any
Such Outrage During the
Presidents Visit To
Chicago.

NEW YORK, Aug. 20.-U. >. secre'
service agents today began new ana
more through investigation OF the
cases of Maresca and Guido. the two
Italians detained at the barge office.
A startling cable dispatch from Rome
caused the sudden activity. 1t Is said
letters were found am ing the efscts OF
Bresci. assassin of King Humber
showing the two men had c"na 10 THIS
country with designs on the lie oi
President McKinlsy.
The ss3reS service men were ABOUT
as standstiil when this Information
WAS received II had nearly been de-
cided.to admit Guido on the ground
that there was nothing TO show that
the man WAS an anarchist. On in for
NATION from Rome, however, it was
decided to keep him as well as his
compauion under even stricter guard
than before. while the dif1erect anar-
chist colonies here are secured with
the hope of disclosing the entire
anarchistic plot.
A letter from an anarchist In New
York Is one OF the principal clues on
which the detectives are working.
They will not tell the exact contents.
According to cable dispatch from
Rome, this letter was dated from New
York on July 25th. Il was signed
"Mabor" and urged Bresci to commit
the crime, urging that Maresca aud
Guido would do their duty toward
President Mckinley, "who has i'm
posed on Us a government as reaction
ary aud military as those OF the old
European monsre HES"
The efforts of the secret service men
are directed today toward discovering
who "Mabor" is. 1t is believed he Is
one If the principal anarchist leaders
in this part OF the country.
SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS.
CHICAGO, Aug. 20.-It is rumored
in police circles today that Chief Kipley
and Captain of Detectives Collersn
had been appealed tol by prominent
republican leader to take unusual
measures to prevent an attack on the
life of President Mckinley during his
stay In Cnle city In VI "a. Is' "oCh'
The alleged appeal was responded
}, 1t is said, by the issuance of orders
to over so detectives from outlying
stations to report to headquarters this
morning.
The appeal said that the recent
killing of King Humbert had caused
the presidents friends to be apprehen-
sive that be might be male the target
of an attack by some anarchistic crank
during his visit to Chicago, the so
called "hot bed of anarchy" in Anne
RIGA.
Captain Colleran said today: "You
may be sure that we are taking all
necessary precautions to protect the
president. 1 do not believe the an
archists will attempt any violence, but
If they do the police will be thorough
ly prepared."
