been ordered to avoid the socie-v of the
s,d tents, and to have thing what " er
10 do with them outside of Ieal ng
them. They are particularly warned
against visiting Il e students at tier
houses. InSpec,O-S il the employ of
the government MAKE searches of the
rooms occupied by the students, and
also Of their libraries. Every book that
treats of social questions or which in the
slightest degree partakeS of a political
CHARACTER, is seized by the inspector.
Some surprise was expressed in this
city upon the receipt of the dispatch an
nouncing the extraordinary activity be-
ing displayed by the r IsSian govern
ment. 1t was thought at first that the
governments action was due to the
troubles arising from the scarcity of
food in many districts of Russia, as for
some days past dispatches have been re-
ceived in this city depicting with
minutenesS the terrible suffenngs of
the starving peasants. Many acts of
Iawlessness have been reported as hav-
lug been committed by men rendered
desperate by the pangs of hunger, and
the statement made that the marShals
OF the nobility would be held to a strict
accountability for any political disturb
ances in their districts was taken to
mean that the starving peasants and
small farmers were assuming a threat
ening attitude.
The watchfulneSS expressed in con-
nectlOn with the students could not be
explained on this hypothesis, but. as
that class of the cars subjects are con-
tlnually in trouble with the police. it
was thought that they had again come
into collision with the authorities
through too freely expressing their
thoughts regarding the policy of the
government in connection with the
famine. a dispatch was received this
evening. however, which puts all spec
ulation to flight and gives very Suffi-
clent reason for the suspicious of the
Russian central government that there
Is something wrong in the empire.
This dispatch states that short time
ago it came to the knowledge OF the po-
lice that a conspiracy was under way.
The authorities, through the system of
espionage which prevails throughout
Russia, were able To learn who the con-
spiratOrS were. their places of meeting,
and i'll fact everything connected with
the plot. While secretly pursuing their
investigations in st. Petersburg they
found that the cOnspiratOrS in that city
were only part of very numerous
band, the headquarters of which was 10
Gated in Moscow. They learned also
maj ttiC NOiiSptI olOlS lldt OCcH very dCb-
i've in securing adherentS to their plan,
and that the conspiracy had ramitica-
tions which spread to all the principal
cities of the empire.
The Object OF The conspiracy just IN
earthed, unlike majority of the plots
discovered in Russia, was not to kill the
car, but was the organization OF move
ment having for its end the creation of
a representative assembly, an object OF
which has been the dream of many
Russians for years. Sixty members of
the nobility and of the upper and Md
ole classes who are charged with COM
plicity in the conspiracy have been ar
rested. The discovery of the plot and
The arrest of so many prominent sub
lects has caused a decided sensation in
Russia.
