ECHO OF THE RUSSIAN MORALIST PLOT
A HOAX THAT" COST GRAND DUKES THEIR LIBERTY. A judicial investigation has (shown that the famous monarchist plot of early September, in which Madams Hitrovo ligural and in connection with which several grand dukes were arrested, was a hoax. I appears that two volunteers 6oldiers and two civilians, exploiting iho monarchical tendencies of a part of the population for their own personal benefit, issued a proclamation bearing an imposing seal in which the restoration of the monarchy was demanded. Ouo 6uch document was found in the homo of Madame Hitrovo. With the proclamation the swindlers widely distributed a spurious list of subscribers, purporting to show 3,000,000 roubles collected largely from' among the grand dukes. It develops that the swindlers collected 1500 roubles, with which they proceeded to have an orgy in Witcbsk, on the Drina.
