The Customs department of the exhibition allowed the boxes to pass the French and Russian frontiers unopened, as they believed them to contain exhibits of machinery. It is rumoured that a mine has been dis«

covered leading from the residence of th Governor of Moscow across the road along: which the Czar would proceed to the exhibition, also that a second mine had been found under the railway line. Extraordinary precautions were taken against an attempt on his Majesty's life, and even the triumphal arches were dismantled in the search for explosives.
