PLOT TO DESTROY
U. S. BATTLESHIPS
Anarchist Conspiracy Discovered by
Police of Rio Jansiro.
WILL ARREST RING-LEADER

Rio Janeiro, Jan. 20.-The Brazilian
police have discovered an anarchistic
plot here having as its object the de-
struction of part of the American
feet now lying in the harbOr The
conspiracy, while centering in Rio ia
metro and PetropOlis, has ramificatiOns
eII Sac Paulo and Minas Geraes. An
ildividual named Jean Fedher was the
chief cOnspiratOr here, although it is
understood that foreign anarchists
are deeply involved in the plot. Fed
her is believed to have fled to Sac
PaulO, and the police, who know him,
have been sent to that place for the
purpose OF apprehending him.
One of the detectives, who was well
acquainted with Fedher having served
on the police force at Petropolis for
some time, returned from that place,
after having made Investigations there,
and had a long conference with the
chief of police at Rio Janeiro. The
latter gave it to be understood later
that the Sac Paulo police are on the
track of the arch-cOnspiratOr and eX-
pect to arrest him soon.
In an official note the chief of police
says
Some time before the arrival of
the American fleet at Rio Janeiro the
Brazilian government received from
Washington and Paris advices that
anarchists of different natiOnalities in
tended to damage one or several Oi
the ships of the American fleet. The
names and addresses of the cOnspira
tors were indicated by information
which the police here had received
previously from France and Germany
The police of this district are work
ing with the police of Sac Paulo anC
Minas Gereas, and l am sure ever!
precautiOn will be exercised and the
most rigorous vigilance observed, botl
on land and at sea, to prevent any in
jury being done"
The chief of police. after havinl
made this official statement, said tina
he did not feel he should go into an
| further details with regard to the con
spiracy, but he authorized the state
ment that the plot was organized b,
Fedher, and he added that the peopl
of the United States could rest easy
as all of the conspirators had takel
refuge in the interior.
AS yet the people of Brazil are ig
norant of the plot to do injury to tn
visitors, although there has been SOM
slight inkling of the matter. The i'm
preston which the exposure of thi
| plot will create here will be a pre-
found one, because It is the first anaI
chistic conspiray that has ever beel
| known in Brazil.

ENToMBED MINERS SAVED
Were Imprisoned Forty-six Days 1000
Feet Below the Surface.


Ely, New, Jan. 20. - After having
been entombed forty-six days 1000 feet
below the surface in the Alpha shaft
of the GirOux mine, A. D. Bailey, P. j.
Brown and Fred Mcdonald were res
cued. Whistles all over the camp blew
loudly, while crowds cheered in the
streets of Ely to the ringing of bells.
"Ah" was the only word of Bailey,
the first to reach the outer air. He
tottered forward into the arms of COM
rades, who in a few minutes recuper-
ated him.
"Is that you, Arthur" queried Fred
Mcdonald, as his brother stepped for
ward and embraced him after nearly
seven weeks of separation by
George. it certainly seems good to De
out of that hole he said as he was led
away, telling his brother of his terrible
experience.
Somebody give me a chew of To-
bacco" said Brown, with a laugh as Re
was led from the mine shaft to the
change room of the mine where the
three men were made comfortable.
They were imprisoned on Dec 4 by
the shaft caving in. At first it was
thought they were killed but twenty
four hours after the accident the three
buried men managed to make them
selves heard by tapping on a six inch
water pipe that reached from the
pumping station to the surface. Com
municatiOn was established with the
world above and food and drink were
plenteOusly lowered through the pipe.
A portable telephone was lowered and
the men were able to talk with people

Girls Thrown Into Panic at Knitting
Mill In Scranton.
Scranton, Pa, Jan. 1S.-Four girls
were killed. ten seriously injured and
a score or more slightly hurt at a
fire in the Imperial Knitting com
pany's mill in Dix court; in the cen
tral part of the city.
Eighty-five girls were at work in
the third floor when a fire broke out
on the ground floor where some men
were vanishing furniture in a ware
house. 1t quickly ascended the elevator
shaft and drove the girls panic
stricken to the one window opening
on the fire escape. The fire escape is
one of those in which the last reach
of stairs is held in a horizontal posi-
tion by a weight and pulley device.
The girls first to reach this were
afraid to descend it when they saw its
far end moving downward. This
caused a jam. The girls on the upper
part of the fire escape were crowding
those in front, and all the time the
flames and smoke were envelOping
them. By the time the firemen had
arrived half of them had jumped
some of them from the third floor
Men from the neighborhOod soon ar

Of the fire escape so that it's end re-

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Official data
shows that this country shipped to
Europe during December goods to the
value of $207 10000. This eclipsed all
records and brought the excess of eX.
ports for the twelve months to an un-
paralleled aggregate of 0O,171OOO, as
compared with $477,741, 900 in 1906.
The balance of trade in favor of the
United States for the month of De
cember alone was $114,S9O,OO0, or $56,-
100000 greater than the corresponding
month of a year ago. The returns of
imports for December reflected the
effect of the banking and resultant
trade troubles of the two preceding
months, impOrtations falling to $92,-
2S8,771. the lowest for that period
since 1903, and $42,OOO,OOO below De
cember of last year.
