How tho Plot Was Laid.
| According to the theory of the police
the revolutionists calculated upon
Baron Won Nolken going to Praga on
learning of the explosion of the bomb
at the station there. and knew he
must pass the castle, that being the
only road by which he could reach the
only bridge across the Vistula. The af-
fair caused great excitement. A popu-
lar rumor says the revolutionarics
adopted this course of informing the
police that they have more bombs be-
sides those discovered in the Powon-
ski cemetery Saturday.
Poles Hate the baron.
Baron Won Nolkcn is very unpopular.
He is hated by thcmasses of the Polish
population, who hold him responsible
for the sanguinary suppression of the
disturbances here at the end of JAN
uary. He has been here only year,
having come from st. Petersburg.
where he was chief of the mounted di.
vision of the police.
