SC PoterSDurg, Narcn Sl.-lne 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 mo- mans face was not familiar to him, ment. The fighting organization is known to have on its condemned list thirty persons, headed by Grand Duke Alexis and Governor General Trepof, but the police, although they have ar rested several persons with bombs ill their possession, and have taken many suspects into custody, have. been com- pletely baf1ed in their efforts to dis cover the invisible hand which is di- recting the campaign of the ter1Orists. The police theory continues to be that the central organizations of those en- gagged in the conspiracies are at Gen- eva and in Paris, and that the men ar rested in Russia are agents selected to execute the sentences. When arrested these agents invariably are true to their oaths and refuse to divulge any thing no matter to what ordeal they are subjected. Only yesterday the po- lice by chance foiled what is believed to have been plot to kill Governor General Trepoff. According to the lat est details of the affair a man was Ob-, served during the morning l0unging at the corner of Great Morskaia street, about a block away from the entrance to General Trepoff's chancellory. The man attracted no attention at first, as he wore the red cap which is the dis tinctive mark of the employees of the messenger company whose messengers stand at every street corner. But at last policeman noticing that the mans face was not familiary to him, approached the supposed messenger with the object of interrOgating him., The man thereupon became alarmed, drew revolver and fired at the police man, but missed him. The policeman then overpowered his assailant and ar rested him. -'.
 Almost at the same hour that the bogus messenger was being arrested on Great Morskaia street the police, who have been keeping sharp lookout at the hotel and lodging houses, discov-. cred several bombs of the terrorist pat tern in trunk belonging to stranger who occupied furnished room ill house in Pushkin street, but who was absent at the time the police searched his apartment. The man was prompt ly taken into custody when he re- turned, and last night two individuals who called to see him were also ar rested. all the prisoners declined to give any account of themselves. Al though the police refuse to furnish any Information or give the names of the prisoners, the two incidents, the arrest of the man OH Great Morskaia street and the finding of the bombs, are un- doubtedly connected. The man cap tured by the police on Great Morskaia street probably was on the lookout for some mark by which to distinguish General Trepoff's carriage, as several vehicles of the same style are constant ly before the gOvernor-generals chan cellory and when he drives out they circle around and leave in different di- rections so that 1t is almost impossible in the confusion to determine definite ly which carriage contains the gov ernor- general It is said that General Trepoff fortnight ago received let ter informing him that this rrlse was unavailing, as he would be killed in his bed.
