PLOT klPpED IN the BUD
sEDITIous MOVEMENT AGAINST
THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT
DISCOVERED. ri.

Paris, April 8.-The Investigations
of the secret police have not yet de-
termined whether the arms and uni
forms recently seized in the suburbs
of Paris were intended for chimer-
ical African expedition or seditious
movement against the government.
Statements made by Deputy Rabier
tend to show the existence of a plot.
M. Rabier recently received letters
warning him that a number of deter
mined men were planning a surprise
movement. He at first dismissed the
letters, but he recently decided to
submit them, to Minister of the In
terror Etfenne, who turned them over
to the police. One of the letters says
2 prominent general was at the head
of the movement, which included q
number Of deputies and one former
cabinet minister. According to this
letter the necessary arms, uniforms
and equipments were ready and re.
crmtment was going on among the
retired colonial troops 1t is said that
Premier Rouvier and other officials
received similar warnings. However
the plot, if it actually existed, appears
to have been nipped in the bud by the
activity of the police. The. affair
gives rise to much sensational conjec
tire. including rumor printed by the
Patrie that the house of Co1one
Marchand of Fashoda fame, who is
now in Morocco, was searched by the
police, which the family and police
Indignantly deny. The newspapers
make yelled illusions to many promi
nent generals and civilians, who, it il
claimed, had hand in the affair.

BARTLETT GOT BUMPED.
Was In Passenger Wreck at Lincoln,
Minnesota-Engineer Killed.

was IN passenger wreck at Lincoln,
Engineer Killed.
Fargo Forum: A bad wreck oc-
Cured this morning about 2 O'Clock.
near Lincoln, a little station, seven-
teen miles east Of staples, on the N.
p, resulting In the death, at his post,
Of Engineer George Murray OF st.
Paul, one Of the oldest engineers in
the service.
The accident, as explained by
railroad man on the train as a pas
senger, was caused by head end
collision between east bound freight
No. 81 and the west bound coast
train No. 3 which left st. Paul last
night at 1915 and was on time at
the scene of the accident.
At the point of the collision is
heavy grade and the freight had been
cut in two and it was the last half
which was approaching the passenger
train. After leaving the first half on
the siding at the top of the hill. the
brakeman of the freight says he fol-
lowed the rules as to the lying of
topedoes, but here conflicting stories
are told. The fireman OF the passen-
ger Is alleged to have stated that one
torpedo was exploded by the passen-
ger train and then two in quick sue
cession which is the signal to move
on. At any rate Engineer hurry did
not stop and did not see the ap-
preaching train around a curve. The
fireman jumped, but Murray remained
at his post at which his body was
found. %-
The force Of the collision destroyed
both engines and created a great mix
up of wrecked engines and freight
cars and the baggage car of the pas
senger train and one in its place had
to be secured. The tender Of one of
the engines was tossed like a feather
onto the top of a freight car filed
with high grade finished lumber for
some swell residence In the west. At
the scene Of the wreck freight cars
and freight are piled up in a most
fantastic shape. Members of the
freight crew escaped all injury and
no passengers were hurt, several men
who were sleeping in their seats we're
bumped rather rudely.
Lieutenant Governor Bartlett was in
one OF the Pullman sleepers and he
says he was awakened out of his
sleep by the sudden stopping of the
train. After some delay in awaiting
the arrival OF another engine, the
train was pulled back to Little Falls
and it came vast via Brainerd and
Nos. 8 and 4, leaving this city last
night took the Brainerd route.

them. Therefore our policy will be to
work precisely, as we have worked in
building and operating great railroad
lines. There will be monthly repQtts
made of progress, Of the amount Of
funds expended and the outlook for
the work, just as railroads report to
their stockholders. These reports will
be fled regularly in Washington SO

be fully, reliably and frequently in

their funds in Panama,

have undertaken the task for the
American people, we recognize the
great responsibility resting on us and
we are going out to make good in a
way that will please not only Presi
dent Roosevelt and justify his conf
dence in US, but will also bring us the
approval of all the people of the ma

weeks distributing notice to the owners of
certain ground in the community to erect

a result.

LURAY, VA.

special Correspondence OF Inc Star.
LURAY, Va, August "a, 1905.
Typhoid fever is not wholly confined to
Washington. for up in the Hawksbill valley
there is quite an epidemic. and even in the
mountains a case has been developed and
yet another is thought to be vergng to
typhoid even on the heights at Stony Man
Camp.
When one stops to consider the source of
the water supply at Luray, which is the old
Furnace spring up on the top of the noun
tains, there is much wonderment where the
germs of typhoid that has been alomst cpl
demic in Luray during the summer come
from, but that question is easily settled
when the treatment of that most delightful
spring is known. Sitting at the foot of a
mammoth forest tree that shadows the
spring the other day was a party of tour
lists, chatting and lunching and drinking of
the waters of life, when there suddenly APP
peared upon the scene negro man with
tub of clothes on his head and a white
maid carrying a bucket and dressed as IL
for an afternoon walk. The tub was de-
posted by the side of the spring. The maid
laid out her wash on rubber cloth and
proceeded to wrench" and pour out the
water, to trickle down the bed of the
stream, and to blue and to pour out
again, to go down and into the water sup
ply of the people of Luray.
1.-THE rubbish and the washingS from hog
killing and the like that are sent down the
different rivers and streams on their way to
the Potomac and thence into the reservoir
at Washington is enough to make Washing
ton full to the uttermost with typhoid fe-
ver," said an old man of the mountains to
me the other day. mo amount of filtering
can do away with the impurities that are
emptied into the tributaries of the Potomac.
1 wouldn't live in Washington and drink
the water that is filled with what l know
goes into it for nothing" went on the old
man.
Mr.. A. G. Heaton of Washington, who is
one of the familiar and popular features"
of Stony Man Camp, has been improving
his cabin and the grounds surrounding 1t
until it is by far the most attractive cabin
