PLOT TO KILL THE CZAR.
A WIDESPREAD CONSPIRACY. THE MILITARY IMPLICATED. SUICIDE OF THREE OFFICERS. Press Association. — Electric Telegraph.— Received May 20,1.35 a.m. St. Petersburg, May 18. A widespread conspiracy has been discovered among the Czar's regiments at Moscow, Warsaw, and Yeligavetgrad, for the killing of His Majesty. Many officers and soldiers have been arrested, and three officers committed suicide in order to avoid arrest. At Warsaw a search was made, and the detectives discovered a terrible bomb which was intended to use against the life of the Czar. The discovery' of this recent plot has completely prostrated Her Majesty the Czarina, who has been suffering from nervousness since the accident to the royal train on the Azov Railway.
