THE PATERSON PLOT.
The Italian Kinlianmtdor 9nym He Be
lieves In It.
Washington, Aug. 15. —Baron Fuva, ths
Italian embassador, has communicated
to the statu department information
showing that he believes u baud of an
archists in Paterson, N. J., conspired to
assassinate all the crowned heads of Eu
rope.
According to the governor of New Jer
sey, every effort is being made by the
state police authorities to assist the de
tectives employed by the Itulian officials
to ascertain if such u hand exists and its
membership. The department has come
to the conclusion that when the investi
gation is concluded it can do no more
than urge upon the state authorities that
the conspirators be punished. The fed
eral government has no authority to in
terfere with the state, and the governoi
must be depended upon to see that th
persons involved in the plot to kill King
Humbert are held to strict accountabil
ity.
The assassination of King Humbert
and the attempt on the life of the shah
of Persia in Paris have called the atten
tion of officials and diplomats here to thu
advisability of adopting, international
means for the suppression of anarchists.
After the death of President Carnot an
international conference for this purpose
was called, but the United States wai
not invited to participate. The failure
to tender the invitation arose out of the
belief of Europe that American institu
tions and American laws would prohibit
this government from subscribing to the
results of such a conference.
An administration official suid yester
day there was nothing in our constitu
tion which prevented the federul govern
ment or the stntes from suppressing
crime. While the United States statute!
do not mention under the head of con
splracy a combination of persons who
plot the assassination of foreign rulers
congress lias certainly the right, he said,
to enact laws specifically declaring s
combination for the purpose indicated a
conspiracy and punishable to such extenl
os it may deem desirable. The president
could, according to this official, send a
representative to participate in an anti
anarchist conference and could submil
the recommendations of the conference
to congress for approval.
It is appreciated in official circles, how
ever, that, the sentiment of the United
States being antagonistic to crowned
heads, the president would probably nol
deem it expedient to accept an invitation
to participate in a conference or recom
mend its report to congress for iucor
poration into law.

CoiumlHHfoiier Titninn Tnlkn About
the Work He Has Done.
Seattle, Aug. G.—C. 11. Titmau, United
States commissioner in the matter of in
ternational bouudary between AJuskfi
und Canada, has arrived from the north
He and F. W. King, the British com
missioner, have been placing monuments
in accordance with the agreement reach
ed in the modus vivendi.
Titman states that Glacier, Bowlde)
Rock und other creeks which the miners
claim constituted a porton of the Poreu
pine district are now in British territory
"Porcupine river and all of its afflu
ents," said Mr. Titman, "are defined by
the modus vivendi. Glacier and Bowldei
Rock creeks ure on the Canadian side
and will be so long as the modus vivend:
line is recognized.
"It is difficult to tell what constitutes
the Porcupine district. The miners thinb
it includes u great many creeks and riv
era not tributary to the Porcupine. 1
understand they claim Glacier, Bowldei
Rock and other streams ure included in
the so called Porcupine section. If thai
is a fact, then much of the Porcupini
camp lies on the British side. Certalnlj
Glacier and Bowlder ltock do. Glaciei
runs north and south and practically par
allel with Porcupine.
"No matter where the line runs ai.
claims staked in the disputed Porcupine
territory prior to the time the modus vi
vend! took effect—Oct. 20, 1808—will re
inain intact in accordance with the termi
of the modus vivendi."

Miners Return Home.
A party of miners who left Plymouth
some months ago to work in the mines
n Wyoming have returned homo. They
became discouraged at once when they
reached their new homes and longed to
get back to dear old Pennsylvania.
"Things are not as bright in the an
thracite region of Pennsylvania at times
as they should bo,'' said John Glidding,
one of the minors who returned, "but I
would rather work hore for less wages
than in Wyoming. Wages are not so
high out there while tho cost of living Is
much higher than in tho East, besides
there are none of tho comforts to be
found there that are found in tho East.
My advice to Pennsylvania miners is to
stay at home."
Last week four carloads of miners loft
Wlkesbarre for Wyoming, and the early
return of soveral of them Is now ex
pected.
