London , despatch slays.; • • Semi;
rather thrilling yarns have been Cur-
rent this week coacerning that al-
leged Anarchist plot which the po-
lice ingeniously: frustrated, which
lends some spice to London's dull
season. One rather ciecumatantial
tale, not yet printed here even in the
emblguous way in which such thiege
are gen-mealy printed in England,
concerns a poor fellow who was
working in June ou the construction
of the Canadian arch in Whitehall.
Ile :fell from the top of the arch, and
was taken unconscious to. St.
Thane:is' Hospital. Before he died
,the police are said to have found on
his. person e paper proving him an
Anarchist deputed to pose as a la -
;borer alld assigned, to the *las]: of
'blowing up the Canadian arch while
the Meg was passing under it. on
his -way to ' be crowned. It is a
beautiful tale, based on absurdity,
because no workman employed in
• elenslructing tho arch would. have
hacl a place on it on Coronation
Day. ante town is full of more likely
stories, :however, concerning the
precautions which Sir Edward Biwa:
ford's men took on the !great day
of how they filled 'ecestery subway
manhole within a mile of Wes:tie:Me
ster Abbey and the Um of march :old
guarded the cellars and rooia of the
Abbey. These London police are'
certainly wonderful follows, who
make their oillee respeeted, awl the
wild admiration for them expressed
bY the Shah of Persia is measurably
shared by every visitor from abroad.
