Anarchist Plot in America

New York, March 2. Several arrests have been made in connexion with the attempt to dynamite Bt. Patrick's Cathedral, which is believed to be part of a wide-spread anarchist plot to include attacks on millionaires and the dynamiting of banks and to inaugurate a Reign of Terror.

The police have been throughout in touch with the movement. The congregation of 800 in the Cathedral at the time of the outrage included numerous disguised detectives.

When a man entered and threw bombs at the alter they rushed up, tinguished the fuse and seized the miscreant.—Reuter.
