Show IDIIEHS GENTRY GLOSELYWATGHED Scotland Yard Men Keep Tab on Followers of flic Red Fljig. BY PAUL LAMBETH. Special Cable to The Tribune. LONDON. Jup. G. Every big International Interna-tional plot hatched by anarchists against crowned heads of Etirojio in ibo past tbirty years has boon broil in tbo Soho district, of .London, according to the officials of-ficials of .Scotland Yard. Tho aurprlslnp part of tbt.4' fact is that tho police are well acquainted with tho leading -anarchists who take up their residence in this country, and can toll when anything of .nioro Importance than usual is going I on. Yet. to all outward appearance, they j make no al;n. and seemingly leave theso babble sedition and to plot asnassination without putting tho least obstacle in their way. This is very far from bc'ng the case. The department of the mctiopolitan police po-lice that Is charged with tho task or watching and outwitting these desperadoes despera-does Is one of the most perfectly organised organ-ised bodies in tho world, and the extent of its knowledge Is little short of wonderful, wonder-ful, and it would considerably surprise those who fondly bcllovo that they are free from snrvolllance could they only know how closely every movement Js watched. Plot Was Foiled. A recent Instance may here be given. It was openly hinted in and around Soho at the time of the coronation1 of the king of Spain that a "great surprise was In store." Meetings were ield In a collar of tho neighborhood of Tottenham Court road at which the full dcta'ls of one of the foulest crimes that was ever proposed, were settled, and those who wore to carry car-ry out the work were selected. Some half donen or so were Implicated, but when the time came for them to leave for Madrid four of them found their passage suddenly haired. The remaining two managed to cade the vigilance of ue Tinglisn police. , The Madrid authorities hud. however. been kept fully Informe.l of what was going forward, and the moment the two men put foot on Spanish territory they were cast into prison, where one of them remains to the present day. T) trills Are Unfolded. Ij But litis was not tho British method, j The four men detained on this side were I i conveyed ui Scotland Yard, and there , taken" into u room, where the whole out-j out-j line of their plot was carefully laid be-i be-i fore them. Their jaws dropped in terror ) as names and dales were given to them, j and beads of perspiration broke from j their foreheads -when hints at revelation j to the Spanish authorities were given. In j the end they were given their choice of 1 extradition to Spain or making a solemn promise to abstain from any further con-f con-f splracy. This last was readily given, but naturally the men were never lost 1 sight of for an instant until the corona-Hon corona-Hon ceremony was at an end. Glad When Monarchs Left. It is doubtful if Scotland Yard has ! ever had such a trying time as it had 1 during the recent funeral or Edward Vll. The striking r.etinue of reigning monarctis i who followed the cortege through London offered to some half-witted fanatic an i opportunity to make himself notorious for all time such as had never dccu prcsent-' prcsent-' od. It is no exaggeration to say that when the last of the monarchs had quilted these shores our police authorities gave a sigh of heartfelt relief; but no one Knows how complete, and even extraordinary, were the precautions that were taken that ' nothing of an untoward nature should take place. . f |
