MEXICO CITY, November w.
Agents of President Porfirio Diaz yes
terday uncovered one of the most far
reaching plots against his power and
the present administration that has yet
been laid in this country, Tho revolu-
tion, carefully planned, has been nipped
in the bud.
The revolutionary movement which
was being directed from the American
side of the border was to have been
simultaneous in twelve states of the
republic, including all the northern and
central plateau states. Government Of
ficals are implicated and wholesale re-
construction of the improvements in
the north is expected.
Arms and ammunition were widely
distributed, great quantities of each
being stored at convenient and hidden
arsenals through the entire country.
Concerted action was planned, calcu-
lated to take the government wholly
unprepared and unwarned. The revOlu-
ton would have commenced within q
few days.
The uprising was directed from San
Antonio, Texas, where the lynching
which has caused so much trouble oc-

ers of the movements are trio of

in Los Angeles who have since been
released and operating from Texas.

Count ToIstoi Passes
Away Surrounded by
His Family.

ASTAP0VA, Russia, November TO-
Count Leo Tolstoi died today of infam-
nation of the lungs at small house in
this hamlet. The Countess Tolstoi, who
came to his bedside yesterday from
their home which he had left, was near
him all night and stayed at the bed
side until the end Several old friends
were also with him.
ST. PETERSBURG, November IL
Conflicting reports have reached this
city concerning the death of Count
Tolstoi.
Count Leo Tolstoi.
Leo Nickolaevitch Tolstoi was rep
resentative of one of the old and noble
families of Russia. Born in 1928, he
was brought up as a nobleman S son,
and in due time became a student at
the great University of Kazan. He
gave up his studies there suddenly, hav-
ing resolved to devote his life to bet
tering the condition of the Russian
serfs, which resolve later broadened it.
self into desire to work for the bet
terment of all mankind.
For some years he applied himself to
the management of his estates, trying
to ameliorate the condition of his serfs,
but it was discouraging work, and he
was finally induced to drop it, and 90
into the army. He served in the CIl-
mean war, and took part as captain of
artillery in the defence of SebastopOl,
and while in active service he began to
.l,.A i Ill l..
literary work he had instant SUGGEST
His books were praised by the critics,
and read eagerly by the novel readers
of st. Petersburg, and of Moscow.
When the war came to a close Tolstoi
was already famous as an author, and
the career of n great writer was open
before him. He made his home now
at st. Petersburg, and was received
with open arms by the literary and
fashionable circles of the capital. He
frequented the clubs and theaters, went
to balls and dinner parties, gambled,
fought duels, drank, and led generally
the dissipated life which is the rule
among men of his class on the banks
of the Neva. But still he found no
peace for his soul in all these diversions.
AT bottom he was always a serious man,
longing to lead d good life and not
knowing how to set to work about it.
He had long since lost faith in the
formal religion of the Russian church,
and he did not know where to look for
true religion. He Travelled abroad,
and sought to discover the secret of
right living from the learned men whom
he met in France and Germany and
England, but he received little help
from them.
When the serfs were freed in 1861
he went back to the country to live
and for year or two. occupied himself
in endeavoring to fit them for their
new freedom, establishing a School for
them in his own village of Yasnaia
Polana and acting as principal of it
himself.
1t was shortly after this that he mar.
ried Sofia Andreieona Baer, daughter
of German physician, young woman
many years his junior. BY her he had
thirteen children, the first being born
in 1868. For the first ten or fifteen
years of his married life his domestic
relations, the needs of large family,

is well organized under Doctor Clarke

the sick are being cared for and
there is no danger of any outbreak.
The work of cleaning up and
