General News.

New York, Feb. 25.-The Evening
Telegram today prints a story to the
effect that anarchists from all over
the world are about to meet in secret
convention at Paris to devise plans that
may radically affect the crowned heads
of Europe. All preparations for the con-
vention are carefully guarded, but the
plans became known thru the boastfu!

vention from this city This man, an
Italian. known as angelo" and "Ru-

day declaring he had been selected
as one of the five delegates from the
United States to the convention.
The Evening Telegram says: Far
reaching anarchistic plans are to be
discussed and perfected at this worlds
convention, it is said, and it is even
whispered that ere adjournment is
taken, a meeting of the anarchist in
most cabal will have been held and lots
have been drawn assigning men to
deeds, the full accomplishment of which
may shape the destinies OF the reign

Good One on Haugen.

Washington. Feb. %. Governor
Cummins, of Iowa. is having assorted
experiences in Washington. The GOV
ernor, together with Mrs. Cummins, is
enjoying few days rest in the city,
and incidentally getting acquainted
with national leaders. Yesterday he
went to the capital. and was being es-
corted around the buil,.!ng by Senator
Dolliver AS the two entered an ele-
yator in the senate end of the building
to be transported away from the enate
dining rooms Representative Gilbert
N. Haugen, of the Fourth Iowa district,
entered the car. Mr.. Haugen is buriy
individual and rather brusque.
Hello. Dolliver!9 he calculated as he
stepped into the elevator, and sticking
out his hand, continued. "Have' you
heard that one Cummins is in town y
why -er yes" hcsitatingly re-
sponded Senator Dolliver. Don't you
know the governor, Haugen? Allow me
to introduce you"
Governor Cummins, who was stand
ing beside the senator, extended his
hand. and for the first time made the
acquaintance of the republican repre-
sentative from the Fourth district of his
own state. Representative Haugen rec
objected that he had left something in
the basement, and felt most happily re-
Eeved when the elevator dropped with
him to the regions below after leaving
the senator and the governor above.

REBELS ARE AT LARGE.
Macedonian Leaders Evade Arrest and
Plan Spring Uprising.

Maeedonian Leaders Evade Arrest and
Plan Spring Uprising.
Sofia. Bulgaria, Feb. 25.-Unabated
energy both in words and deeds marks
the hostility of the Macedonian revolt
lutionists toward the program of Turk,
ish reforms defined by Russia and Aus
tria and supported by Europe. Sarafoff
and Michaelovsky, the leaders OF the
rebels, whose arrest was decreed by
Russia, have escaped the clutches Of
the Bulgarian officers. They are now
engaged in an active campaign of in
citement, travelling from one band Of
Bulgarian revolutionists to another and
perfecting arrangements for the pro-
posed uprising in the spring.
Bands of from 60 to 100 revolutionosts
have been got together in thirty four
different parts Of north Macedonia by
these chiefs. Nearly 1900 insurrection-
lists are under arms and ready for ac-
tion in the south. The leaders keep
the peoples spirit of revolt alive by
telling them to remember how the
Turk has never carried out any reform
and assuring them that the program
drawn up by the powers does nothing
more than touch the surface of the
Macedonians' grievances and that every
stipulation will be violated by the sui
tan after show of compliance.
Sensible students of the situation
realize that the agitators are leading
q forlorn hope, now that they have
been deprived of their trump card of
European opposition to effective mill
tary measures on the part of the sui
tan. Abdul Hainid is now free to deal
summarily with the revolutionists.
Hence 1t is likely that the persistence
OF armed Macedouians in disorder at
the present juncture is synonymous
with their humiliation.

letter, which he said was exparte when

ment to the resolution was agreed to,
calling for evidence in regard to the
conduct of the surveyor generals office
