Special dispatches to the Interna tional Mercantile Agency describe a general trade revival at prominent western and southwestern centers. The stimulus Is noteworthy In con trast with conditions existing during the previous month, and has Its basis In more seasonable weather and In creased orders for spring stocks. Jobbing centers report a material ad dition to tho volume of "re-stocking business," with a tendency among many mrchants to duplicate orders previously given for spring goods. Drygoods have been particularly ac tive, with a healthy demand for both spring and fall stocks. Clothing lines aro also reflecting Improvement, which 1s especially evidenced through out the southwest Boots and shoes are more active, with strong Inquiry supplies or carnea over siock to me lowest volume In years. This has placed dealers In a specially strong position to handle seasonable goods, which they are doing profitably and expeditiously, owing to tho general milder weather, While improvement has been note worthy, however, It Is doubtful wheth er the present Inrush of orders will be sufficient o mako good the March and April deficiencies.

PLOT TO KILL THE CZAR. Girl Attended Public Demonstration and Carried Bomb. The St Petersburg correspondent of the Dreslau "Zeitung" reports that the authorities detected and thwarted a plan to assassinate the emperor with a bomb during tho spring parade in St. Petersburg, May 10.

Tho mu nicipality erects a grandstand, tickets to which are sold publicly, the names and adihesHes of the buyers being noted. As persons In tho front rows could easily throw an object to the place where the emperor stands, the author ities naturally reserve the right of canceling tho sales of tickets if the buyers ore not known to be absolutely trustworthy, and they subject the oc cupants of the grandstand to the clos est scrutiny.
