PLOT 1'0 KILL IHE CZAR .A deapatch from Sebastopol says: Authoutio details have come to light q! a. deep-laid plot to assasislinulto the Czar that was prepared a month ago, and for complicity in which sev- eral persons have now been arrested. There is a series of tunnels on? the railway between Lo‘sova and Shast- gpol, through which the Czar and Czarina would have to pass while journeying to ‘Spala, in the Crimea. The scene chosen for the murder was the last tunnel, which is 1.6“) yards long. On the Sebastopol siile of the tunnel there is a cast-iron pipe at the entrance, which is used to carry off surface water. Before their Ma- jesties arrived, and lbeforle detach- ments of troops were posted to guard the route, some people living in the vicinity of the tunnel noticed a studâ€" ent who is now spoken of as “K.” and who belongs to the University of Moscow, digging in the earth close to the tunnel. They thought he was digging worms for fishing, but “'nnl Proof of lixlsu-nco of Dangerous Anll-Ilnpnhllrau Longm‘.

Wednes- day, says;â€"The continued standâ€" still in connection with Chinese afâ€" fairs induces the newspaper corres- pondents and others to lecture states- men on ‘the need of. putting more en- ergy in their actions. The Stand- ard’s Tien-Tsin correspondent warns the public that it is a grave mistake to suppose that a solution of the mat- ter is within reach. He confirms the View that is practically general here that the promised punishment of the guilty officials was devised merely to gain time. He adds that a primary end imperative condition to satisfactory progress towards a settlement is the restoration of the Emperor's authority, and the only effective argument that can be used is to insist upon his production in Pe- kin within a certain time failing which the tombs of the kings will be demolished and the Manchu dynasty suppressed. Once the Emperor was restored the punishment of the guilty would be easy, for Kwang-Su would have the whole nation behind him. The Englxsh correspondents at St. Petersburg declare that opinion there 13 becoming increasingly pea- simistic regarding the probability of an early settlement of the China troubles.
