st. Petersburg, March 31.-The au-
thorities continue to find evidence Of
terrorist activity in st. Petersburg and
in spite of the precautions of the police
another tragedy may occur at any
moment. ...... ..= T..
The fighting organization is known to
have on it's condemned list thirty per-
sons headed by Grand Duke Alexis and
Governor General Trepoff, but the po-
lice, altho they have arrested several
persons with bombs in their possession,
and have taken many suspects into Gus
tody, have been completely baffed 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 at
Geneva and in Paris and that the men
arrested in Russia are agents selected
| to execute the sentences.
. Agents True to Oaths.
! When arrested these agents invari-
to divulge anything, no matter to what
ordeal they are subjected.
Only yesterday the police by chance
foiled what is believed to have been a
plot to kill Governor General Trepof.
According to the latest details of the
affair a man was observed during the
morning lounging at the corner Of Great
Morskaia street, about block away
from the entrance to General TrepoH g
chancellery.
The man attracted no attention at
first, as he wore the red cap which is the
distinctive mark Of the employees OF
the messenger company whose mes
sengers stand at every street corner.
But at last policeman noticed that
the man 8 face was not familiar to
him, and approached the supposed mes
senger to interrogate him: The man
thereupon became alarmed, drew re-
volver and fred at the policeman, but
missesd him. : The policeman then over
powered his assailant and arrested him.
-, : Cache of Bombs Found.
Almost at the same. hour that the
1 bogus messenger was being arrested on
Great Morskaia street, the police, who
: have been keeping a sharp lookout at

who occupied furnished ' rooms in 9
house in Pushkin street, but who was
absent at the time the police searched
his apartment. The man was promptly
taken into custody when he returned
and last night two individuals whe
called to see him were also arrested. f..
All the prisoners declined to give any
account Of themselves. Altho the
police are retieent, refusing to furnish
any information or give the names Of
the prisoners, the two incidents, the ar
rest Of the man on Great Morskai:
street and the finding of the bombs, art
undoubtedly connected. The man cap
tured by the police on Great Morskais
street probably was on the lookout 70:
some mark by which to distinguish Gen
, eral Trepoff' 8 carriage. 49,
Several vehicles Of the same styl
are constantly before the governor gen
eral 8 chancellery, and when he drive
out, they circle around and leave in diff
ferent directions, so that it is almos
impossible in the confusion to determin
