LONDON. Nov. 13.--Advices from 81. Peters
burg state that the authorities there are be-
coming more and moro suspicious rs the In.
ternal situation OF the empire continues to
grow more critical. There Is considerable un-
easiness regarding the status OF affairs
throughout the empire, and a. a result Of this
feeling the marshals Of the nobility exercising
power and residing in the different parts OF the
country have been warned that they will be
held responsible for any manifestation Of po-
litical feeling against the Government which
may occur in the provinces or local admins

prevent them from starting any disturbances.
Tho tutors in the universities and higher
schools have been ordered to avoid the society
OF the students. and to have nothing whatever
to do with them outside ofteaching them. They
are particularly warned against visiting the
students at their houses.
Inspectors In the employ Of the Government
make searches OF the rooms occupied by tho
students. and also Of their libraries. Every
book that treats of social questions. or which
in the slightest degree partakes Of political
character. Is seized by the inspectors.

as having been committed by men rendered
desperate by hunger. and the statement made
that the marshals Of the nobility would be held
to strict accountability for any political dis
turbances in their districts was taken to mean
that the starving peasants and email farmers

the plot. While secretly pursuing their inves-
LEGATIONS in 1T Petersburg they found that the
conspirators in that city were only part Of q
which were IN Moscow. They learned also that
the conspirators had been very active In
securing adherents to their plan, and that the
conspiracy had ramlfcations which spread to
all the PRINCIPAL cities OF the empire.

Russia, was not to kill the Gar. but was the
