the detectives, who was well acQuaint-
ed with Fedher having served On the
poiIcs force at PetropoIis for some
time returned from that place today
after having made Investigations there
and had a long conference with the
chief of Police al Rio Jarerio. The
latter let 1t be understood later that
the Sac Paulo police are on the track
Of the arch conspirator and expect 70
arrest him soon
In an official note which the chief Of
police sent to the correspondent of the
Associated Press he says:
Some time before the arrival of
the American fleet at Rio Janerio,
ne Brazilian government received from
Washington and Paris advices that
anarchists OF different nationalities in
tended TO damage one or several of 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 CT this district are working
with the police of Sac Paulo and M
mas Geraes and 1 am sure every pre-
caution will be exercised and the
most RIGOROUS vigilence observed both
on land and at sea TO prevent any in
jury being done"
The chief Of police after having
made this official statement said that
he did not feel he should go into any
further details with regard to the con-
spiracy, but he authorized the state
ment that the plot was organized by
Fedher and he added that the people
of the United States could rest easy
as all of the conspirators had taken
refuge in the interior.
The people of Brazil are ignorant of
the details of the plot to do injury to
the visiting Vessels, although there
has been some slight irkling of the
matter. The impression which the ex-
posure Of this plot will make will be
profound, because it is the first an
archisits conspiracy that has ever been
known in Brazil.
The police of Sac Paulo have sent
word that they are on the track of the
malefactors, who, they declare. will
not be able to come to Rio de Janerio.

and at 4.15 p. M, adjourned
THE HOUSE.
Unrestrained opportunity to express
views on the immigration question was
afforded the members Of the house to-
day by the decision soon after con-
Vening, to take up and consider a bill
appropriating $4,000 for an immi-
grafton station in Philadelphia and
many took advantage of it. The code
OF laws bill was temporarily side
tracked.
Members from both parties clamor-
ed for recognition, which carried with
II the right to speak for an hour.
The discussion served to develop vio-
lent opposition led by Mr., Hepburn,
Colorado. and Mr.. Byrd, of Mississippi,

ing to the United States while others
made earnest pleas for them upon the
ground that the prosperity Of the coun-
try had been advanced because of their
presence in this country.
The debate was notable in that 4t
was INDUCED in largely by members
serving their first terms and who found
IN the bill a chance to make their
maiden efforts at speechmaking on the
floor Of the house
