MONTHS.

St. Petersburg. May 1e.-Further details
Of the plot at Tsarkoe-Selo against the
life OF the emperor which came to light
yesterday were obtained today and in
dictate that the emperor's escape during
Passion week was very narrow.
The plot was deep-laid and the con-
spirators were members of the emperor
personal court. The arrest of one man,
a COrrack sergeant. has made II possible
TO trace the conspiracy back for four
months, and shows that preparations We're
being made on Feb. ,, when the police
issued orders to use every effort to iden-
tify the purchaser of a uniform OF MS
majesty's gwn Cossack escort, which had
been found during a raid. The use OF
The regulation uniforms is a favorite de-
vice of the terr0rists and the CoSsack
garb is an open sesame to the precincts
of the palace at Tsarkoe-SelO and Peter

Sergeant Confessed.
After the soldier who was suspected
had made his confession yesterday the
news went the rounds among the MEM
bers of the imperial guard The Cossack
sergeant. who was a gate-keeper at one
of the entrances to the palace, became
frightened at possible discovery. and he
voluntarily confessed He betrayed a
plan. according TO which he was to let
into the palace a number of conspira-
tors dressed in Cossack uniforms.
The lower house of parliament is TAX
ing the keenest interest in the story and
1t is expected that the leaders of the
Constitutional Democrats only await Of
ficial confirmation TO introduce a mo-
ton expressing joy at the preservation
of the emperOrS life.
A brother Of Premier StOlypin confirms
the report that numerous arrests have
been made. He declares that the exist
ence Of the plot was known from the be
ginning and It was feTreted out until the
entire plan was uncovered.

In journey through Mexico one is
impressed with the universal prevalence
of the religious sentiment; churches
and cathedrals are everywhere, now the
property of the government leased free
to the church organizations. Much of
this religion is evidently sincere and
good producing. 1t is often supersti-

upon entering church was seen to
kneel and cross himself with religious
fervor and ceremony.

were hundreds of these crosses a few
feet apart and carved out of the clay
with the spade or pick of the Mexican.
The familiar cottonwood is in evidence

grass of a bright green. Then the tiller
of the soil produces potatoes in album
dance and a number Of the small grains.
Cotton, of course, is one of the leading
crops. Onions are grown by the hun
dreds of acres. This may account for
the fact that the Mexican puts onions
into nearly every dish of food found
upon his table. He consumes the onion
in large quantities, but still raises
enough to export great loads to Spain
