ment. The man was promptly taken

last night two individuals who called

the prisoners declined to give any &C.
count of themselves. Although the
police are reticent, refusing to fur-

dents, the arrest OF the man on Great
Morskaia street and the finding Of the
bombs are undoubtedly connected.
The man captured by the policemen
on Great Morskaia street probably
was on the outlook for some mark BY
which to distinguish General Trepoff's
carriage, as several vehicles of the
same style are constantly before the
governor generals chancellory, and
when he drives out they circle around
and leave in two different directions,

said that General Trepoff fortnight

that this ruse was unavailing, as he
would be killed in his bed.

baffled In their efforts to discover the
invisible hand which Is directing the
campaign Of the terrorists.
The police theory continues to be
that the central organizations OF those
engaged in the conspiracies are in
Geneva and Paris, and that the men
arrested in Russia are agents, selected
to execute the sentences. When ar
rested these agents invariably are
true to their oaths and refuse to di.
vulge anything, no matter to what or
deal they are subjected. Only yester-
day, the police by chance foiled what
is believed to have been a plot to
kill Governor Trepoff. According to
the latest details Of the affair, a man
was observed during the morning
lounging at the corner of Great Nor
skaia street. about a block away from
the entrance to General Trepoff's
chancellory. The man attracted no
attention at first, as he wore red
cap, which Is the distinctive mark of
the employees Of the messenger COM
pany, whose messengers stand at
every street corner, but at last a po-
liceman noticed that the mans face
was not familiar to him, and approach
ed the supposed messenger with the
object of interrogating him. The man
thereupon became alarmed, drew. . re,
volver, and fired at the policeman. but
missed him. The policeman overpow-
cred his assailant and arrested him.
