SUPERCEDED BY CHAFFEE,
Minister Conger Is Relieved of Certain
Duties In China.
Washington, Aug. 22—The war de

gram of lour words late last afternoon

Anarchists Draw Lots to Slay Presi
dent, McKinley—Fourteen Arrested.
Xew Iork, Aug. 18.—Instead of two,
a high government official states that
there are 14 anarchists under arrest at
the detention prison of the bureau of
immigration. They are all charged with
being in a conspiracy to assassinate
I lesident McKinley aud have been
taken singly and in pairs from incoming
ocean liners within the last ten days.
United States secret service agents
learn that an anarchist circle in Naples
had cast lots to see who would be the
assassin. Eleven Italiaus and three
Austrians were selected. Closely foi-
lowed, they sailed for different ports.
Iheir object was to strike individual
blows at the president at the same time.
That would make success sure.
As fast- as the men arrived secret ser
vice agents, disguised as emigrants,
went among them and they were ar
rested. Maresca and Weida, caught
yesterday, were two of 14.
1 ‘ The conspiracy was made on a night
early in August. By working with the
Italian police the secret service agents
got wind of a great meeting of the circle
in Naples. The men selected for the
work in this country were quickly noti
fied what they were to do, separated,
going singly or in pairs to different-
ports in Europe. Some went to France,
others to Germany, while still others
crossed the channel to England. Step
by step they were followed to the gang
plank of steamers.
“The 14 are now detained by the emi
gration authorities and are either at the
barge office at the battery or the deten
tion quarters at Quarantine.
“One report is to the effect that some
are in Ludlow street jail, having been
takeq there from Ellis island in order to
thwart any attempt to rescue them by
Paterson anarchists.”
Details of the Plot.
So far as known the plan was for each
man to proceed to Washington at once
on a certain date. They were to sur
round the president and wait for an op
portunity to strike. The blow was to
be by a pistol aud knife. One of the
number, it was certain, would be suc
cessful. The question of escape was not
considered, the men being willing to
sacrifice their lives for their principles.
The two men who did not meet their
fellow anarchists were Maresca and
Weida. Chief Wilkie of the secret ser
vice division of the treasury department
had his agents at the pier when the
steamer docked. The two men did not
come in the steerage as did the others.
Maresca came as a steward in the
steerage and Weida as a coal passer.
They could have landed without going
through the formality of the barge office.
When Maresca boarded the Kaiser
Wilhelm II at Naples Aug. 3 a secret
service agent was close on his heels.
Maresca professed to have no money
when he boarded the steamer, and made
application to he taken as cook. Fail
ing in that he asked for a stewardship.
There was a vacancy in the steerage
cabin aud he secured that. It was not
known that he had a companion. He
and Weida did not come aboard to
gether. As far as known no one saw
Weida come aboard and he was not dis
covered until six hours after - the vessel
sailed, " hen found he was secreted as
a stowaway. He was put to work in
the hold with the coal passers and kept
busy until the boat reached Quarantine.
The Kaiser Wilhelm touched Gibraltar
Aug. 6 and then sailed for New York.
Two Taken Into Custody.
On Wednesday morning last the ship
sighted Sandy Hook light, came up to
Quarantine and was there boarded by
secret'service men, who asked to see the
steerage and cabin lists and the ship’s
roster.
First Officer Lanz took the detectives
forward where they could see the crew.
Purser Meyer remembered recording the
name of Maresca at Naples and Maresca
was identified by Meyer when the for
mer was brought out for identification.
Maresca professed to be unable to un
derstand English. After looking Ma
resca over W. H. Hazen, in charge of
the secret service bureau of this city
said:
“I think that is the man.”
Maresca was sent- below when the
ship was docked. When the liner tied
up at her pier Maresca was informed
that he was under detention. He was
asked where his baggage was and re
plied in Italian:
“Weida has it.”
This was a new lead and Weida was
summoned from his work at the furnace
and questioned. He professed not to
understand English, but admitted that
he had trunks on board. So quietly
were both men taken from the liner that
none of the crew or passengers kuew
that an arrest had been made.
About 10 o’clock Antonio Weida, who
says he is a brother of the detained
Weida, and who lives in this city, called
at the barge office, accompanied by a
lawyer, aud asked to see his brother.
He saicl:
AVcida’s Brother Talks.
“My brother, father, mother, sister
and myself all lived at Sorrento, near
Naples, until four months ago. My
brother and I had been soldiers in the
Italian navy. When I came to America
four mouths ago he was in the navy. I
did not expect him on this boat, al
though I kuew he intended following
me to America. I do not believe he ever
belonged to any anarchist, socialist, po
litical or secret society. He was never
imorisoned nor arrested to my knowl
edge. We have no relatives in this
country, except an uncle in this city. I
am positive my brother knows no an
archist in Paterson or New York.”
Chief Hazen admitted that the two
men were supposed to be anarchists and
confirmed the story of the plot hatched
in Naples in August to kill President
McKinley. Further than this Chief
Hazen declined to talk on the ground
that he was in communication with
Chief Wilkie in Washington, who had
asked that all news concerning the sus
pects come from him (Wilkie).
Chief Wilkie Makes a Statement.
Chief Wilkie is quoted as saying:
‘ ‘Tho two men are not arrested. They
are simply detained at Quarantine.
They will he deported when the Kaiser
Wilhelm goes back to Europe. It is
true that on Aug. 1 this government
was advised from Naples that Maresca
had left Italy for the United States with,
the purpose of attacking the president.
It was said the man was a most unde
sirable immigrant. I may have a more
interesting story to tell later.
Chief Hazen was interviewed at ms
office in the federal building today. He
refused to give the technical charge 6H
which Maresca and Weida were de
tained. He further said Maresca is a
typical anarchist. A number of papers
in Italian were found on the two ihen
aud ha ve been turned over to Commis
sioner Fitcbie. No weapons were found
on either of the men.
Captain Howard, supervising inspec
tor of the contract labor bureau, has
charge of the suspects during the ab
sence of Immigration Commissioner
Fitcbie aud Deputy Commissioner Mc-
Sweeney. Captain Howard refused to
allow any one to see the prisoners and
said no Italiaus had called to inquire
about them.
Maresca and Weida spent Thursday
said Friday nights on the Narragansett,
which is moored off Ellis island. Yes
terday they were kept in the detention
pen in the barge office.

New Orleans, Aug. 16.—The Con

Tennessee, which includes a large ma
jority of the confederate veterans in
New Orleans, have protested against
General J. B. Gordon attending the
Grand Army of the Republic encamp

that The Confederate Veteran issue a
circular reply to General Shaw’s recent
remarks at Atlanta, General Chalaron,
president of the association, insisted
that Shaw’s remarks should be treated
with contempt, but contended that Gen
eral Gordon should be censured for tak
ing part in such meetings and for hav
ing accepted an invitation to attend a
similar meeting to take place. Many
speakers were heard pro and con and

allowing au extra 1 per cent discount to

Americans First to Enter.
Washington, Aug. 22.—The navy de
partment has received the following
from Admiral Remey, dated at Taku,
Ang. 20:
“Dickens’ command is landing today.
A dispatch from Peking Ang. 16 says
all except the - imperial city is cleared of
Chinese troops. American troops first
to enter imperial city, have penetrated
to the gates of the palace. Captain
Reilly, Fifth artillery, killed Aug. 15.
Aug. 19 Sixth cavalry, about 400 Eng
lish and Japanese dispersed about 1,000
Boxers 8 miles outside of Tien Tsin.
About 100 Chinese killed, five Ameri
cans wounded. Chaffee’s losses six
killed, 30 wounded, in two days fight
ing.”
The navy department understands
from the reference to the palace that the
American troops after penetrating the
imperial city were, when the dispatch
was sent, attacking the forbidden city.
Locust Grove, Ga., Aug. 16.—The
mother of Jack Gray, who was killed
several days ago, believes in the inno
cence of her boy. There were some who
believed that Jack Gray was intoxicated
at the time of his death and gambling.
This statement Mrs. Edna Gray, the
mother of the young man, denies.

cil to Be Called Out.

council will be called out on strike be
fore Labor day. The plumbers have al
ready been ordered out and it is the in

Owing to increased activity in the
building trades within the last few days
many union men have been put to work
in some places with the consent of the
business agents, and it is the purpose oi
the union to stop work wherever the
bosses believed they had won a victory
and show them that the labor organiza
tions are still in the fight.
