MEXICAN PLOT.

4 J ATTEMPT ON MADERO FOILED. SECESSIONIST MOVEMENT, By Telecraph-'Press Association—Copyrielii Mexico City, Juno G. An attempt to kill General Mndcro while lie was at a banquet at Aguascalientes was nipped in Hie bud. The revolutionary leader suddenly left for tho train under a heavy guard, just as the lights had been extinguished, and tho preparations for the attempt on his life were nearly ready. A great popular reception has ljeen planned for General Madero, whoso arrival by the Northern Mexico train is expected. Several returned Mexican? say that Lower Californians have planned an Independent Republic, and arc beginning a rebellion. They have announced that they have no intention of relinquishing their arms. Independent of all other revolutionary movements in Mexico, there has for somo months been an insurrection, in _ lower California, centred on a Socialistic purpose, the object being tho establishment of a Utopia, which, though born amid tho singing of bullets, ultimately is to know 110 bloodshed or warfare of men or money. This assertion was made in February by both leaders of tho insurgents, Leyva and Berthold. The success of the movement admittedly depends upon tho results of the agitation and tho support of Socialists and the Industrial Workers of tho World.
