his comments upon his assailants or
when talking about injury at the hands

troubles IN London he said:

PLOTTING AGAINST GAR
Suspected that Plans to Take His LII
-iss1s Are On Font.

Are on Foot.
Berlin, March 23.--The ST. Peters
burg correspondent of the Cologne
Volks Zeitung, under date of March
II, forwards by mail news to the
effect that there is evidence in ST.
Petersburg of the existence of plots
against the authorities. He asserts
the sums of money are being dis
tributed to the factory hands in ST.
Petersburg and vicinity to induce
them to join the disaffected students.
1t has not been learned whence this
money comes, but Indications point
to high sources about the court. The
fact is, the correspondent says, the
secret police no longer trust even the
highest encourage of the car. New
precautions for the protection of the
czar's life have been taken, namely,
mechanism which allows no one to
open the doors of the room in which
the car happens at the moment to
be. The car now has five desks
in his study, which he uses one after
another; the walls of the cars bed
room are lined with steel armor. The
correspondent finds that evidence of
the new plots was general.
Orders were given Saturday night
to keep all the troops in ST. Peters
burg ready. Sunday the police were
distributed in force on all the main
streets of the city. The military
commander of ST. Petersburg, A.
Kleigels, received a number of warm
ings.
