In Palace Grounds.

st. Petersburg.-A well-laid plot
against the life of the emperor,
and one with all the chances of sue
cess on its side, was uncovered
Friday by the arrest of two armed
terrorists-a man and woman-in
the quarters of one of the servants OF
the Alexandria palace, Peterhof, his
majesty's closely-guarded residence on
Cronstadt bay.
The servants son and another
lackey named Klemm Klepnikoff, who
were concerned in smuggling the ter

rested also.
Emperor Nicholas has been ex-
pected to return to Peterhof this
week, and it is presumed that the
terrorists intended to shoot him while
he was promenading, or playing with
his children in the palace grounds.

Persia has instituted a reform that
in old days would have been accom-.
plished by bloody revolution. The
shah has granted a constitution and a
council of state of so members from
all classes except peasants. The re.
form is partly the result, no doubt,
of the upheaval in Russia, which is a
warning against absolutism; and part.
ly due to the demands of the people
of Persia backed by threats of armed
rebellion. The liberal spirit of the
age, however, which impressed the
shah in his journeys through Europe,
lies farther back Of the change. A
modern enlightened monarchy may
rise upon the domains of Xerxes and
Darius.

Commencing at o'clock Thursday
night, the wind blew at so miles for
three hours, then increased to 65
miles. From that time until o'clock
Friday morning it remained at about
80 and 80 miles an hour. The tides
from the bay backed into the city for
blocks, destroying homes and making
rivers out of streets.
When the gale was at its highest,
and women and children were running
frantically about the streets in dark
ness, an alarm of fire added to the
confusion. The fire started in the
Pitt mill, near the business district,
and horses of the fire department re-
fused to go out in the weather. With
tin roofs, trees and wires falling
around them, the firemen dragged
their hose wagons by hand to the
blaze, and after hours of work con-
trolled it.
Friday afternoon the water rose un-
til the business districts presented an
almost indescribable scene.
Half Hundred Ships Wrecked.
OF the so or go big steamers and
sailing vessels in the harbor, only
five or six remain. They. have been
driven ashore, and along the water
front is a mass of wreckage from
steamers, towboats, launches and sail
ing craft. Thirty fishing vessels have
been destroyed or damaged, and the
three big fish houses, with their
wharves, are gone. Muscogee wharf
and the Comm andancia and Tara
coma wharves of the Louisville &
Nashville railroad are badly damaged.
Great iron ships of two and three
thousand tons have been driven not
only ashore, but have gone through
houses block from the water front.
Houses Along Water Front Destroyed.
Every house along the water front
for ten miles has been destroyed, and
the wonder is that the loss of life is
not greater.
The tracks of the Terminal railroad
to the navy yard and barracks have
been destroyed, as also the -trestles
and bridges. No communication can
be had with the navy yard, but it is
believed that it has been badly dam
aged. :.
A number of warships were there,
and these have undoubtedly been de-
stroyed.
