SENSATIONAL STOBY MADE PUBLIC
_
Capitalists Planned to Control Telegraph
Offices, A unounce Bryan’s Election,
Which They Expected Would Send
Stock* Downward, and Then Realize a
Large Sum When the Reaction Set la.
Cleveland, Dec. 7.— The story of an
audacious and gigantic scheme on the
part of a syndicate of London specula¬
tors to control all of the European cable
offices on the night of the presidential
election is printed here on an authority
which is pronounced to be of a high
character. The plan was said to secure
the assistance of a report from the cable
offices to the effect that Bryan was
elected, which it was believed would
send stocks tumbling downward. It
was alleged that the schemers thought
to buy everything means available
could obtain aud realize a fabulous sura
after the public read the correct news
and the reaction set in.
It is declared that preparations for the
attempt were actually in progress for
some time previous to the day of the
election. The direct information, it is
stated, came from Hon. JohuO. Covert,
the veteran Cleveland newspaper man
and formerly editor of The Leader.
The story came to him from a gentle¬
man of high standing in this city, a
physician, who has won scholarly hon¬
ors, but whose name Covert is not at
liberty to divulge.
The doctor heard the story from an
American acquaintance of the promo¬
ters of the scheme who claimed to have
perfect knowledge of the enterprise.
These men were fellow passengers with
the doctor on a transatlantic passenger
steamer which came to New York from
England about six weeks ago. It oc¬
curred to them that fully $5,000,000
might be gathered in if they could in
tome seemingly authoritative Nov. manner
give out word on the night of 3 to
European financiers that the cause of
unlimited coinage of silver had carried
the day in the United States.
Some of the cabin passengers on the
boat believed that the scheme would
have at least come near success had the
undertaking started a week sooner. As
it was, the laying of the ropes began
some three weeks prior to Nov. 3. A
fund of $50,000 had been subscribed to¬
ward carrying the plan into execution,
when the enterprise w T as abandoned.
Further it was said a few cable tele¬
graph operators in London aud Berlin
had been bought up.
The plan was to use this method as
far as it could be safely worked and
then to manage by some means to estab¬
lish men of their own at the cable offi¬
ces. It is believed that those Carrying
the project into effect for the schemers
would have stopped at almost nothing
to execute their designs.
THE VENEZUELA ELECTION.
It Docs Not Take Place Until October, bat
tlie Contest Is Warming: Up.
Washington, Dec. 5. —The Vene¬
zuela electiou does not occur until Oc¬
tober next, but already the contest is
waxing warm, according to the press re¬
ports from Caracas. There are four
prominent candidates, Dr. Castillio,
minister of interior in the Crespo cabi¬
net; Dr. Bruzuai Zerra, minister of pub¬
lic works; Munoz Tebar, president of
the state of Zulye, and Ignacio An¬
drade, president of the state of Miranda,
and brother of the minister to Washing¬
ton. All of these candidates are favor¬
able to General Crespo and thus far no
element opposing the present adminis¬
tration has developed.
The British contention regarding the
boundary line has served to bring ail
elements to the support of General
Crespo. He has taken occasion to state
however, that he will turn over the
government to his successor according
to the terms of the constitution aud lias
thus disposed of all thought that he will
continue in the presidency. It was the
retention of the presidency that caused
the last Venezuelan revolution aud
brought General Crespo in power.
Extra Session of Congress Likely.
Washington, Dec. 5.— There is prac¬
tically no longer any doubt of the in¬
tention of President-elect McKinley to
convene the Fifty-fifth congress in ex¬
traordinary session early next spring.
There are several arrivals of friends
and confidants of Major McKinley di¬
rect from Canton who bring the very
positive announcement that the call for
a special session to be convened a few
days after March 4 has been decided
upon.

Buenos Ayres, Dec. 5.—An official

further announces that the revolt is
routed.

FOOD FISHES IN FLORIDA.
Halted States Government May Do Some¬
thing For Their Preservation.
Washington, Dec. 4. — A report is
now beiug prepared at the fish cornmis
siou of au investigation made under the
direction of congress into fish conditions
in Florida. The report will take a wide
range, as a thorough investigation has
been made. The object was to aseer
tain more particularly whether sponge
could be successfully cultivated in
Florida waters, and also whether ii
would be expedient to establish a ma¬
rine station at some point on the Florida
coast for the purpose of cultivating
sponges aud also for the propagation of
food fishes of those waters. The report
will show that an experimental station,
for the purpose of finding out what
could be done, is all that ought to be at¬
tempted. The sponge must be set out
like plants and trees. There is no such
things as eggs or seeds.
As to fish, the recommendation will
be made that something ought to be
done at once to preserve the green tur¬
tle, which is fast disappearing from the
Florida coast. The reason for this is
the destruction of the eggs of the turtle,
which are gathered by the thousands
along the shore. It has been ascertained
that the turtles do not come as fre¬
quently to deposit eggs as before. Flor¬
ida has no state fish commission aud
nothing lias been done for the preserva¬
tion of the food fish that are common on
its shores.
There are several other varieties of
fish on the Florida coast which the re¬
port will show can be successfully pro
pogated under the direction of the com¬
mission. It will be shown that a ma
rine hatchery could be successful with a
sufficient appropriation to establish and
maintain it.
Two Persons Frozen to Death.
Paris, Dec. 8.—A terrible disaster has
occurred in the Pyrenueesa. Scores of
Spaniards on foot have reached Gavar
nie, in France, where they related with
apparent remorse that they had left a
womau, unable to proceed, with her
husband and brother ou the snow two
hours distant. Guides hurried to the
rescue and heard calls for help, when a
sudden avalanche blocked the mountain
paths so that the guides were compelled
to return to Gavarnie and wait there
for two days, When they finally
reached the illfated trio, two of them
were dead and the third was dying.

New York, Dec. -L— The Herald’s
