Block system OF Signals.

The block system is an arrangement
of signals by which a railroad is di-
vided into sections or blocks, with sig
mails at the beginning of each block.
The signals are SO arranged that as
soon as a train enters a block. the
signal at the beginning thereof is set
at danger. and remains at danger until
the train has left the block. There
are several systems of blocks, but this
is the principle on which all are
worked.

DIAMOND SMUGGLER CAUGHT
Had Them Snusly Hidden in the Pockets Of
Belt lie Wore Around Ills Waist.

New York, Jan. 2l.-United States
Marshal Alcott, OF the Ferry district,
has formally seized in this city SIT, 900
worth of diamonds. which were
brought into this country by Antonio
Ansenias without paying duty on them.
The goods were found ON Ansenias'
person by United States customs off,
cials as Ansenias was leaving a steamer
of the Ham burg American line at Ho'
boken.
Ansenias was not arrested, but the
diamonds will be held pending decis-
ION of the Treasury department as to
whether he is lilty of smuggling.
His defense is that he is a Cuban
merchant, and that he is merely pass
ing through this country on his way to
Cuba. The diaomnds were concealed
in the pockets OF large belt which
Ansenias had around his body, and
were accidentally discovered by GUS
toms inspector who happened to place
his hand on Ansenisas' back as the lat
ter was leaning over a trunk. There
are 1875 separate articles, of an ap-
praised valuation Of $1,000, which
with go per cent duty added would
make them worth SIT, 800.

Port OF Spain, Trinidad, British West
Indies, Jan. 23.-The arrivals today
from Venezuela confirm the reports OF
the existence OF critical condition of
affairs in that republic. A former
Venezuelan minister asserts that the
politicians at Caracas are making a de-
termined raid on the Bermudese
Asphalt Company. He adds that they
tried it before on a modest scale,
squeezing $50, 900 out of the company,
when United States Minister Loomis
protested and stopped further action OF
this description. The government, the
minister also says, listened to reason
then, but has now lost its head and
offered to restore the property for ST.
900, 900, although it is said to have
been illegally taken by dictatorial
decree. In addition, the assertion is
again made that il foreign governments
permit the action Of the Venezuelan
authorities to pass without some pro-
test, all foreign investors will he driven
from South America, for the latter al.
ways claim they are being illegally
plundered. In this connection, the
assertion is made that no former Ven.
ezuelan government would have dared
to act as this one does toward Wash

ezuelan authorities are counting on the
dissemination of strong nations to co.
cree weak ones.

THE IRRIGATION MOVEMENT.
II Receives Strong Support From Secretary
Hitchcock.

Washington, Jan. Secretary OF
the Interior Hitchcock was to have
been heard today by the house commit
tee on public lands ON the subject of
irrigation. which is attracting atten.
tion in many Western states, but being
unable to come to the capitol, he sub
nritted statement. This strongly
supports the policy of irrigation, and
says that vast acreage capable of sup
porting 100000 people should not
be left desert. MI. Hitchcock points
out the remarkable results experienced
in the valley of the Nile, practically
redeeming Egypt from bankruptcy.
Professor Newell, OF the geological sur
vey; Professor Pinchott, oil the sgri-
cultural department, and Representa-
tive Newlands, of Nevada, who started
the movement by bill for irrigation
storehouses along the Humboldt river
in Nevada, also strongly supported the
plan. The hearings today were on the
Newlands bill, but this has brought

ANARCHISTS PLOT.
Plsned to Kill Prominent Americans Disclosed
in COrut Trial.

New York, Jan. 23. Elias Masuras,
Greek, the complainant in an assault
case, which came before Judge Kel.
logg, OF Yonkers, N. Y, this morning,
told startling tale of plot of Greek
anarchists to kill prominent Americans,
and would have told more had the
court not stopped him and turned him
over TO the police, that they might
quietly investigate the case. Several
arrests have already been made, and
number more are planned.
On the stand Masuras said that in
Greece he had been member OF an
anarchist society. Some time ago it
fell to his lot to kill public man III
the United States, and he was ordered
to come to this country and place him
self under the orders OF the American
branch OF the society. He had never
heard the name OF the man he was TO
murder, and understood that, as in
other cases, the man who was to be
the victim was to be selected after his
arrival in this country.
After reaching America, Masuras,
according to his own story, went to
Yonkers, and affiliated himself with
a branch of the organization, as we'll
as one in New York. Finally he be-
came frightened, withdrew and refused
to carry out the mission entrusted to
him. From the time he left the organ
ization he claims he was annoyed and
threatened oy members of the society.
He remained firm in his determination
not to obey the orders, however, and
yesterday six of the men came here
and begged him to return. When he
still refused, one of the six, which one
he could not say, attempted to stab
him. The blow was aimed too high,
however.
Masuras was apparently willing to
tell more about the society, but Judge
Kellogg adjourned the hearing and
committed the prisoner to Jail, pending
further examination. Masuras was
examined by the police, and as re-
suit the war ants were issued. Joseph
and James Kiptaukas and Frank Hes
taigus were srres ed by the police. One
other Yonkers man and two New York
ers are named on other warrants, and
the police are searching for them.
The police assert that they believe the
story told by Masuras, and they say
that the affair has led to the discovery
of an anrchist band of dangerous char

A WESTERN FIGHT.
But the East Is Willing to Help Obtain ApprO.

Washington, Jan. 23.-SOme hun.
dred prominent daily Eastern newspa-

views favorable to system of national
irrigation. 1t would seem that the
East is we'll in line in wishing the de-
velopment and reclamation OF the
great area west of the hundredth meri-
dian, and that 1t is realized that such
q development would benefit the entire
country and be national benefit, add
ing to the general wealth and power of
the nation. While the East is thus
willing to assist and cooperate, it ex-
poets, of course, that the West will
make its own fight. Every local
Western Organization of whatever
haracter-chamher of commerce,
boards OF trade, commercial clubs,
business everything with
a president and secretary ahould dis
cuss and take action upon this ques-
tion of national irrigation and govern
ment appropriations for the building
of storage reservoirs, and then stand
ready to cooperate with the National
