THE CZAR.
♦■ [Special to Passs Association.] ST I'ETERSBUKG. Mat 30. The Czar aud Czarina have arrived at Moscow to attend the French Exhibition, notwithstanding that three days before it opened four large boxes of dynamite bad been discovered, and were evidently intended to be used in a plot against the life of the Czar. The Customs Department of the Exhibition allowed the boxes to pass the French and Eussian frontiers unopened, as they believed them to contain exhibits of machinery. It is rumoured that a mine has l>een discovered, leading from the residence of the Governor of Moscow, across a road along which the Czar ■would proceed to the Exhibition ; also, that a second mine has been found under a railway line. Extraordinary precautions are being taken against an attempt on His Majesty's life. Even the triumphal ■arches have been dismantled in the search for explosives. A feeling of terror exists in Moscow, and the owners of all houses commanding a view of the square where the Czar proposes to review the troops have teen ordered to close their windows.
