simple process he has invented, four
tons of sulphate of ammonia from the
smoke produced by the coal The

TO KILL THE GAR

Russia's Ruler.

A Quantity of Explosives Stored Beneath
the Monaroh's Sleeping Room
CHINA PALAc UNDERMINED

The Niue Would Have Beeu Set OF the
Next Time He Occupied the Chamber.
The Conspirators Had Dug a Tunnel
over Three Hundred Yards Long.
French Detectives Discovered the
Work.
BERLIN, May 16.-Details of a plot to
kill the Czar rave reached here. A week
ago two French detectives arrived at the
Gatchina and began a careful inyestiga-
ton of the palace, one in the disguise of
a coachman and the other in that of an
assistant cook.
Two days after their arrival they re-
ported that the whole palace had been
found to be undermined, that the under
ground chamber beneath the Cars
sleeping room was already half filled
with explosives, and that the Nihilists
back of the plot would nave started the
explosion d~oubtlessly the next time the
Gar slept at the palace, had they not
been frightened by the signs of disc overy
of their plot.
The undermining had been done by
e of a tunnel which led to a hill not
three hundred yards from the palace
and which must have been the labor Of
many months. Spades, picks and Dor
ing tools were found near the entrance
in the side of the hill. This entrance
was concealed by a large rock, around
which the sod was laid so carefully as
not to betray it's frequent disturbance.
The plotters must nave worked at night
n rave left before daybreak, as all the
surrounding country is carefully
watched.
The plot was known in a general way
10 exist, yet the Cars police were un-
able to discover it's details or even to fix
its location definitely. The cellars and
grounds of the Gatchina palace were
carefully examined, and upon finding
nothing the detectives decided that the
conspirators had not yet begun TO act.
The Paris detectives were then sum
moned.

Two were TO walk out by the aid of

others were to cut their way through

of ropes to the ground. They had a key
