Plot Discovered.

Vienna, Nov. 20.-A conspiracy to
blow up the Mon,eDegfin SkupshIins, or
National Assembly, murder Prince
Nicholas, his family and ministers, seize
the Montenegro government aud form
union of ell Servian.speskiDg countries,
has been discovered, according to dis
patches from CettiDje, The capital OF
Montenegro.
More than $50 arrests have been made.
Implicated 10 the plot, according to
almost conclusive evidence in the su-
thorities' possession, are former Premier
Radovic and some of the most iDasntisl
men in Montenegro, several OF them rel
atives of Prince Nicholas.
The plot was exposed through the ar
rest of leader, Montenegrin OF noble
family named RsjkoVic, who, with
companion, was crossing the border on
his return from Servis.
Documents relating to the conspiracy
we're found By customs inspectors.
Among them we're letters warning
oetsonal friends not to attend sittiDgs Of
the SkupshtiDa.
Rsjkovic has made a confession, re-
vealing details of the plan and including
a complete list of those concerned, to-
gether with the parts they were to play
sod the plans for the future.
Political conditions in Servis have
been so unstable since Alexsnjer's
assassination that threats of an out
break are regarded as serions.

MUcH concern is being shown among

Much concern is being shown among
many employs of the Southern Railway
Company Whoown houses in this city or
who prefer TO live in Alexandria. Recent
changes it is feared will make it necss-
sary for many conductors, engineers and
others operating passenger trains to re-
move their residences from this city, All
passenger engines are now housed at
Trinidad, about two miles northeast OF
Washington. This place is the point at
which they arrive and depart, and to
make trips TO Alexandria after housing
epeints and then reiurn in time TO take
out locomotives would be Impractical If
not at times impossible for members Of
the crews. II ia believed that before
long Southern freight engines will also
be sent to Trinidad. The shops of the
company in this city have already
been considerably depleted of work
mon. Comparatively few are now
emoloyed at the Dake street depot, and
conditions about that place stand in
marked contrast 10 those of few years

chauies were employed in the shops, to-
cs.her silh twenty-six apprentices. The

be done about it?' The city of Alexan-

greater part Of which was contracted 10

it seems hard that everything in connec-
tioa with The system is gradually being
diverted from this city. That and other

Congress to decide the matter; therefore.
Resolved that, with every respect and
esteem for the President, we are COM
PEELED to say that we regret the removal
of the motto, and following the line Of
his suggestion we request Congress TO
take the proper steps to have the motto
replaced and kept on all cur coins which
now bear it.

HORSE TALK.
Some Points Worth Remembering
About Mans Best Friend.

The little colt should have a feed
twice a day of oats, bran and oil
Notwithstanding with a pint
and increasing to a quart.
A colt fed in this way, and given a
run in a paddock every day, will never
have unsound feet and legs unless by
accident.
Weak food will make a weak colt
weak legs and unsound joints.
AS soon as the grass is frost bitten,
wear the colt if it is old enough, and
give it the grain ration and second
growth clover or alfalfa. If too young
give the mare plenty of nutritious
food, and give them a roomy box stall
at night.
Many colts are given ugly tempers
by cruel and careless currying.
To scratch and hurt a colt or horse
will aus him to hate the operation
and the operator.
Many ~currycombs are knocked all
GU of shape and some of the teeth
cut like knives.
Look at your currycomb. They are
often instruments Of torture.
Teach the boys to use it gently and
keep it in order.
Be generous in the use of the
brushes but sparing in the use of the
comb.
Good grooming should be done
every day to keep the pores open, the
skin healthy, and the hair silky. Soft
hair is very warm n is a non-con-
ductor of heat.
Never leave a reeking mess of wet
straw and manure under the horses.
1t ruins the health and eyes, and is a
disgrace to any horse owner.-Farm
