 tersburg.
 St Petersburg, Sept. 28.-4A well laid nlot against the life of the Emperor, and one with all the chances of success on it's side, was discovered to-day by the arrest of two armed terrorists, 3 man and a woman, in the quarters of one of the palace servants within the enclosure of the Alexandra Palace, Peterhof his Majesty's secluded and closely guarded summer residence on Cronstadt Bay. The servants son and another lackey named Klepnikeff, who were concerned in smuggling the ter, rorists through the guards and arrang- ing their hiding place, were arrested for being implicated in the plot.
 Emper5r Nicholas had, been expected to return to Peterhof this week, and 1t is presumed that the terrorists intended to lay in wait and seize a favorable opportunity to shoot him while he was promenading or playing with his child ren in the palace grounds.
 Part of the great park at Peterhof is protected on one side by the waters of the bay and on three sides it Is en- closed by a high wall surmounted with iron spikes. This wall Is constantly patrolled by trusted cossacks. Inside the palace grounds the only buildings are the unpretentious palace and two or three small housese where the ser wants are quartered.
 The qualifications of the conspiracy in which arrests have been reported almost daily since September 15, when lackey and several other persons were arrested are extensive and pos- sitly have included two or more sub divisions, one directed against the Emperor and the other against Grand Duke Nicholas The arrests of these lackeys explain the manner in which threatening letters were introduced into the apartments of the Emperor and other members of the imperial family.
 A general campaign of arrests and demiciliary visitations was inaugur- ated in St. Petersburg to-day
 It is not connected with the Peterhof plot, but is an outcome of the recent arrival here of group of Polish Socialists who came to give their St. Petersburg confreres the benefit Of their experience in Warsaw for the organization of reign of terror in the capital.
 Several important consignments of arm and ammunition which arrived here by rail have been seized. An in- tresting comedy was played in the matter of one consignment. The police became cognizant of this shipment and secretly set a watch on 1t in the hope of experimenting the consignees, when they arrived to carry away the arms the revolutionists perceived this trap, set their own spies and almost suc- ceeded in gettings the arms from under the vary noses of the officers Similar seizures of ammunition and arms are reported from Warsaw, Moscow and many other places in the streets.
 Replying to telegram of congratula- tion from the League of Russian people at Yelisavetgrad upon the energy displayed by the troops in the recent massacre at siedlc, Col Tikhanoffsky who was temporarily in command of the garrison during the excesses, sent a bombastic message which read: Greetings ito the loyal Russian people. Bayonets are mightler than rags"
 The last words referred to the rai- ment of the poorer Jews
