PLOT TO MURDER THE POPE.
The Eternal City was startled recently by the news that the police had discovered an Anarchist attempt against the Pope and Cardinal Rampolla. After a long and careful search, a certain Natale Glavinovich was arrested, who a few days ago had left Dalniatia, where be was born, informing his companions tbat he was going to Rome determined to murder the Pope and Cardinal Rompolla. In spite of the fact that the Italian police had been informed of his departure by sea they did not succeed in preventing bis landing at Ancona and his coming to Rome, where he not only remained several days undisturbed, but twice entered the Vatican in the guise of a tourist, and going as far as the Raphael Logge. His want of means obliging him to wander from inn to inn put the police on bis track, and he was arrested while crossing the Piazza Colonna. He was brought to the police office and found to possess a razor transformed into a kind of dagger, with which he intended to accomplish his premeditated crimes. The Pope's private doctors have ordered that the Pontiff is not yet to be informed of the arrest, fearing the impression the news would make on him, Glavinovich will be condemned to prison and expelled from Italy.
