Conspirators Take Advantage OF the
Situation to Incite n Revolt.
LONDON, Oct. IA dispatch to the
Ddily Telegraph from st. Petersburg says
revolutionary society at Kief has been
endeavoring to take advantage of the
prevailing famine to excite revolt, and
that exiles from Switzerland and France
have guided the movement. Numerous
arrests of real and suspected members
have been effected, among whom were
several students of the University of
Kieif. These circumstances determined
the authorities to make domiciiary visits
to the lodgings OF certain young men
whose political leanings seemed doubt
ful, and these visits led to the discovery
of secret literary clubs, the members of
which read privately the writings of
Count Tolstoi and Of Saltikeff, which are
prohibited by the Russian Government,
but are published in Geneva. The
students, whose objects are not political,
have all been arrested and are being
treated exactly in the same way as real
conspirators.
The students of the university, indig-
nant at this injustice, called meeting to
petition the minister for the release of
members of the literary clubs, but the
rector dissolved the gathering in spite of
the protest of all present, and the Gov
ernor-G eneral threatened to surround the
university with Cossacks.
