Announcement by Chief at Rio Janeiro That Conspirators Have Pled?Detectives Searching For Head of Alleged Conspiracy. Rio Janeiro, Brazil.?The Bratilian police announce they have discovered an Anarchistic plot here having as its object the destruction of part of the American fleet now iying in the harbor. In an official note sent out by the Chief of Police-he says: "Some time before the arrival of the American fleet at Rio Janeiro the Brazilia* Government received from wasnington ana fans aavices tnat Anarchists of different nationalities intended to damage one or several of the ships of the American fleet. "The names and addresses of the conspirators were indicated by information which the police here had received previously from France and Germany. The police of this district are working with the police of Sao Paulo and Minas Geraes, and [ am sure every precaution will be sxercised and the most rigorous vigilance observed both on land and at sea to prevent any injury being lone." The Chief of Police, after having made this official statement, said that lie did not feel he should go into iny further details with .regard to :he conspiracy, but he authorized the statement that the plot was organzed by one Jean Fedher, who resides n Petropolis, and he added that the people of the United States could rest jasy, as all of the conspirators had :aken refuge in the interior. The conspiracy, while centering in Rio Janeiro and Petropolis, had ramifications in Sao Paulo and Milas Geraes. The man Jean Fedher was the ;hief conspirator here, but it is unierstood foreign Anarchists were leeply involved in the plot. It is beieved Fedher has fled to Sao Paulo, ind members of the police who know lim have been sent to that place for :he purpose of apprehending him. Dne of the detectives, who was well icquainted with Fedher, having served on the police force at Petrololis for some time, returned from hat place after having made investigations there, and had a long con,'erence with the Chief of Police at tio Janeiro. The latter gave it to ie understood later that the Sao Pauo police are on the track of the arch:onspirator and expect to arrest him :onn. As yet the people of Brazil are gnorant of the details of the plot o do injury to the visitors, although here has been some slight inkling of he matter. The impression <which he exposure of this plot will create lere will be a profound one, because t is the first Anarchistic conspiracy hat has ever been known in Brazil. The police of Sao Paulo have sent vord that they are on the track >f the malefactors, who, they declare, vill not be able to come to Rio Jateiro. JOHN R.

I i "COME Wl IN, THE ?Clever Cartoon in th THE GOVERNMENT SHI Bristow, of Panama Railroad ?Thinks It Would Be of Supplies to the Canal?Cr Attempting to Monopolize Washington, D. C.?J. L. Bristow. of Kansas, who was appointed a special commissioner of the Panama Railroad last August, with instructions to report whether it was advisable to establish a Government steamship line between Panama and Pacific Coast ports of the United States, has made a report to the Secretary of War, in which he says that "the weight of the argument is strongly in favor of establishing this service. Mr. Bristow, who first came into the public eye as Fourth Assistant Postmaster-General at the time of the postal scandals-which he investigated for President Roosevelt, had served under a previous appointment as a snerial commissioner of the Panama Railroad, with directions to investigate freight rates and trade existing between United States. South American, European and Panaman ports. As a result of his inquiry at that time the Panama Railroad Was continued as a commercial line under the United States Government, the Panama Railroad Steamship Line, between New York and Colon, was retained and operated by the Government. and contracts of an exclusive character with the Pacific Mail Steamship Company were annulled. Under his second commission Mr. Bristow was instructed to investigate 8Deciflcally the service rendered by the Pacific Mail Steamship Company REAR-ADMIRAL CAPPS ANSWE ^ id ?TI V^JUltl 01 LUt x\cjjan juuicau mj the American Navy?He I Hoists?Greater Speed Gal: Washington, D. 0.?Rear-Adrairal Washington Lee Capps, Chief of the Bureau of Construction and Repair of the Navy Department, made answer to the critics of the navy at a hearing before the House Committee on Naval AfTairs. To the minds practically of all the members of the committee, Admiral Capps' statements were a complete refutation of the charges which have been made against certain features of the construction of American battleships. Admiral Capps displayed no animosity or ill-feeling' toward the chronic and scientific fault-finders, and discussed the subject of naval ar cnitecture 111 a dispassionate way. While he riddled the Reuterdahl article in McClure's Magazine in its general features, still he gave credit to certain criticisms made. In particular he admitted the justice of the criticism of the ammunition hoists on battleships. He advocated a complete change of hoists, and asked for an appropriation of $175,000 to this end. The Admiral discuBsed at length the question of high free boards and low free boards on battleships. He 3aid that the general type of naval architecture which is followed by the Board of Construction is the same as has been followed since 1889. This 3tyle was adopted by Great Britain after the subject had been considered thoroughly and exhaustively by the leading naval architects and experts of the country, in fact, of the world. rt la frho stvlo fronorollv fnllnnroH tn lay by England in the building of her biggest ships.

"with ? vlftw to advisine whether or not* the Isthmian Canal Commission should purchase steamers and establish a service between Panama and the Pacific Coast ports of the United States, to be operated in conjunction with the steamers now running between New York and Colon." In his report Mr. Bristow criticises the service of the Pacific Mall Steamship Company to Panama. He thinks a Government line on the Pacific coast would be desirable for the transportation of canal suDplies and materials and canal employes, for keeping open and improving the Isthmian route .if commerce and for urocuring cargo for the Panama Railroad stes.mships homeward bound from Colon. Mr. Bristow represents General Manager Scbwerin, of the Pacific Mail Steamship Companv, as comnlaining against the action of the United States in permitting foreign lines to use the Isthmian Railway upon the same terms as American lines. Mr. Bristow argues that as the canal when completed is open tc tho lice nf ail nations on eaual terras there should be no discrimination now against foreign steamships. Mr. Bristow says that to perform the service required on the Pacific Coast would necessitate the purchase of from Bis to nine vessels. Hs estimates the cost of these vessels aa from $3,500,000 to $6,000,000.

He pointed out that Japan had, followed the plan of low free boards, while Russian ships had the high free boards. The Russian ships are now at the bottom of the sea, while Japanese ships are still floating. Since the Russian-Japanese war, the Japanese have been building their ships so that the free boards are still " Vi- J + lOWer. J.t UitU Uecu t&suei taiucu luai the Russ ians, apparently realizing the error of their high free boards when going to battle in the Sea of Japan, had pumped water between their decks, and had even loaded coal in the staterooms of the officers in order to get their ships as close to the water as possible, and afford the least possible tag'3t. Anierican ships, he said, had a little more free board than the Japanese and a little less than the English ships of the Dreadnought type, the English, in order to get greater speed having been forced to allow a little more tree board. The questions raised in the Reuterdahl article, he said, had afforded subjects for argument, dispute, controversy and discussion among naval arctiitects since the construction of the modern navy began and doubtless always would do so. There wa3 always a fight between a~mor men and armament men, between steam engineering departments and other departments, but the result in the end had been the construction of vessels which present the best knowledge of naval architects.

ALL THREE IN GOOD HEALTH A. D. Bailey, P. J. Brown and Fred McDonald Come to the Surfaco After Being Imprisoned a Thou* sand Feet Below. Ely, Nev. ? Residents of Ely' are discussing the marvellous rescue, of A. D. Bafley, P. J. Brown and Fred McDonald, who are alive rnd well after being entombed nearly seven weeks in the Alpha shaft of the GIroux mine, a thousand feet below the surface of the earth. All the bells of the camp were rung and the whistles blew as the men were brought forth. Other miners gathered around them to clasp their hands, not knowing how soon they themselves might be called on to undergo a similar or more horrible experience. On the morning of December 4 McDonald, Brown and Bailey and two Greeks were working in the bottom of a shaft eighty-five feet below the pump station and 1085 fe^t below the surface. The shaft caved in, snapping the cable used to haul the cage from the shaft and hurling thousands of tons of rock and timbers into the shaft. From the bottom of the compartment in which the men were working to the pumping station a series of rickety ladders ofTered the only means of egress. With falling rocks and timbers streaming down on them the five men struggled up these ladders. Half way up falling timbers knocked the two Greeks from the ladders, killing them. Bailey, McDonald and Brown reached the pump station. Its timbered roof withstood the rock and timber that came down the shaft and offered them a prison, where they crouched, while atintervals rocks aiid timbers kept crashing above them_ threatening momentarily to crush the deep tomb. At first it was thought on the surface that all five men had perished, but twenty-four hours after the accident the three buried men managed ! to make themselves heard by tapping on a six-inch water pipe that reached from the pumping station to the surface. Communication was established with the world above and food and drink were plenteously lowered through the pipe. A large supply was sent down, as It was feared the pipe might be broken before the rescuers could reach the imprisoned men. But throughout the long weeks of imprisonment this pipe was daily used. A portable telephone was lowered and the men were able to talk with those above. This telephone carried from friends the news of the world and messages of cheer, and from the burled men reports of their condition. Clearing of the debris was slow work, as Umbers, rocks and earth were so twisted together that a-new shaft had !to be cut for most of the 1 1000 feet. At no time did the entombed men suffer greatly.

Within an hour he was dead, and the first hint that he was to go under the knife reached the father and mothei when his body was brought home. When he left his home to go to the physician's he bade them good by as carelessly as if only going out for a walk; but one of tha. most curious features of the case was that the operation was not performed, even though it cost the boy his life.

Children of native gentlemen can be seen being taken out for an airing by ayahs morning and evening. Certain bold men have begun to,take out their wives in the evening for a drive In open vehicles. A week ago we saw the daughter jf a man of position wanting wna her father on the railway platform 1 at Lahore. She was dressed in what seemed like an English gown, had English shoes on, and when her fcu?band came up left her father and walked about with him. Her face was quite uncovered. Let those who have relatives in Lahore go' there ' ' ; and see for themselves the state of things. They will see wives going out shoulder to shoulder with their . husbands iiX the evenings, having said , good by to old restrictions. A man wno would aare reimpose the old manner on his womankind would receive scant courtesy.?Punjab Journal. < " ? Doctors at Sea. First Interne?"Doctor, there's something wrong with the ship."
