To Blow Up Cathedral.

st. Petersburg. April 2S.--The
first of the great preliminary. Easter
services were held in the churches
and cathedrals last night. the people
coming to kindle candles and pro-
cure blessing on the lights, which
they carry home burning; but It was
noticeable that there was a dminu-
ton of the usual throngs on account
of rumors of plots to blow up the
churches. The chief priest of the
Smolensk Cathedral in this city re-
ceived note warning him of a plot
to blow up the cathedral, which he
read to the congregation with explG-
nations in order to quiet their fears.
Rumors of the intended use of
dynamite apply also to the banks
and government buildings. These
are believed to some extent by the
more credulous and timorous class
es, but the persons most concerned
do not attach much weight TO the ru-
mors.
