Special from United Press )

St. Petersburg, Dec. 13.-Revela- tions of 8 revolutionary plot, to free all political prisoners in Russia by means of the wholesale poisoning of Jallers, were made by the govern ment, today. It was officially an- nounced that the stories of prison cruelty throughout Russia. alleged to nave resulted in numerous suicides. are inventions of revolutionists to aid their work of raising funds for the release of prisoners.
 It is admitted by the authorities. however, that they ordered the pun ishment of a number of prisoners in- volved in the conspiracy and that several suicides of prisoners follow ed. One of those reported to havs committed suicide was Sazonoff, as- sassin of Minister of the Interior Plepve. His death is announced at the Czarantus prison, where there have been half a dozen deaths nf prisoners within the last ftw days.
 The government points out that the unprecedented number of suicides in Russia is largely due to stagnation in industrial circles, resulting from numerous strikes, which has doubled the army of the hungry and des- pOndent.
