that the ship is to some extent an 1ex7s

PLOT AGAINST RUSSIAN DUMA.
Correspondent Says Oflcers Of Cars Body.
guard Are sim Planning.

Special Cable Despatch 10 THB sun.
LONDON, May 2s--The story Of a military
plot against the Russian Duma, as printed
by the Tribune, has been declared by
another correspondent in st. Petersburg
to be t. Joke, which, however, when it be-
came current began to 10 seriously credited.
The Tribune correspondent in a despatch
printed this morning reafirms the story.
He declares that the situation is'absolutely
serious and that the plans Of the con-
s~pirators are still being developed. The
plot, according to the correspondent, started
a few weeks before the Duma met.
Officers of the Cars bodyguard met and
swore upon their swords that they would
die rather than allow a limitation Of the
autocracy and the appropriation of impe-
rial and private lands.
Assuming the name Of the Red Guard,
they first proposed a court revolution.
They we're prepared to nominate n new
monarch II Nicholas were not amcnable,
but their candidate for the throne refused to
share in the conspiracy. They then de-
cided practically to hem the Gear in at Tsars-
koe-Selo until their aim was achieved.
The correspondent believes that the plan
cannot be realized. He says there are
more officers who would oppose a reac-
tionary revolution than would support it.
The bulk of the rank and lie would refuse
to obey orders from the oonspirators.
