London, May 1.-THE Daily Tele-

reports/the accidental discovery and

story from two reliable sources. Ac-
cording to these versions no fewer
than eighty conspirators resolved a

Emperor Nicholas and plans were
finally fixed for carrying out the deed
during Easter. The plotters included
reserve officers and other officials and
civilians whose loyalty hitherto had
been undoubted. A large number of
plotters, the correspondent says, was
necessitated by the elaborate precau-
tons adopted nowadays to protect
imperial personages. The plan was,
according TO the correspondent, TO APP
proach the Tsarskoe- Selo in distinct
groups and then execute sudden and
daring attack on the palace The first
group, consisting of thirty-four men,
arrived on the Russian Good Friday,
when, from some means unknown, sus-
picions against them were aroused.
The whole thir,y-four of them were ar
