Movement by the Nihilists.
ST. pETERsBuEG, July 21.-Four incen-
diary fires occurred in Moscow ON ,Satur-
dav night. They were all started in such
places that the wind would invariably

mostly warehouses filed with dry goods
and furs. The officials are convinced that
this wholesale arson is a new terrorizlng
movement by the nihilistS, and that they
have invented some new. combustible
which will spread fire quickly. The police
say the nihilists have adopted this new
plan because it is attended with less dan
ger to cuprits than their old plan of muir
der, and is equally effective in spreading
terror among the people. The household
ers of Moscow are in nightly terror. Many
families appoint one member to watch all
night.
