ST. PETERSBURG, Dec 27.-Numerous
arrests continue TO be made at Kieff of
persons suspected of nihilism. Nine
officers are among the imprisoned, either
under suspicion or direct charges con-
nected with a conspiracy against the
Car. The Russian authorities believe
that they have unearthed a Widespread
plot in which number of officials OF
nigh rank are involved, and several Off
GERS having positions of trust and conf
dence near the person of the Car have
been put under surveillance. The extent
OF the plot Is not yet known There
seems no doubt this time of its genuine
character.
There is much discomfort in the army
with the prolonged period of peace. and
many officers think that the Gar is too
pacific in his disposition. The murmur-
ing among army officers ambitions for
glory and disappointed in their hopes of
promotion is correspondingly great. For
these and other reasons the authorities
are greatly apprebensive as to the extent
Of the conspiracy, and much excitement
prevails both in official circles and among
the public. The persecution of the Jews
by the Grand Duke Sergius, brother of
the Gar, still continues. The Jewish
