A NIHILIsTs ESCAPE.
Remarkable Adventures of Russian
ReVoIutionist.


London Examiner.l
Fomin, the Nihilist, who escaped
from the citadel of wilma few days
ago, was no ordinary conspirator.
When only seventeen he joined the
revolutionary association, although
little is known of his operations until
his arrival at Odessa in 1877. He
then went by the name of Matvaef.
and acted as deputy chief to Captain
Tchubaroff, the Nihilist leader, who
was hanged at Odessa few weeks ago.
One of his early escapades was an
attempt upon the life of Goronovitch,
the spy, which resulted in the recov-
cry OF the wretched victim-who was
beaten and then drenched with vitriol
-and a confession that led to the
arrest of 300 revolutionists. Fomin
escaped, being included in this num-
ber, and shortly afterward was sent by
captain" to Kharkoff to release the
conspirator Voinoralsky. Assisted by
several members of the revolutionary
league, Fomin established an ambush
outside the town, and when the Cos
sack convoy passed by with the prison
er, the Nihilists poured several volleys
into them. Some of the gendarmes
fell dead, others set spurs to their
horses and darted back to Kharhoff
for assistance, and Voinoralsky, dis
gaised in the clothing of one of the
victims, rode off with the Kharhoff
Nihllists, and effected his escape.
Fomin alone returned to KharhOif,
and was arrested while in the act of
taking a return ticket to Odessa.
After his Incarceration in the Khar-
hoff prison a series of audacious at
tempts were made to obtain a release.
A band of Nihilists came to succor
him from Kieff, and two of them,
dressed as gendarmes, presented them
selves at the door of the Jail with an
order to convey him to the presence Of
the governor. The chief warder was
on the point of removing Fomin from
the cell, when, by a curious coinci
dence, Two real gendarmes arrived
with a genuine order and exposed the
plot. The Nihilists then hired house
opposite the prison, and began bur
rowing under the road to Fomins s cell
This was discovered during the mend
ing of drain, and the excavators haC
to fly to escape arrest. Fomin himsel
now tried to break out of prison, and
with the aid of some of the sevent
criminals who shared room witt
himself, he dug out the inside of tn
chimney, and climbed up the channe
to the roof. Six of his companion
escaped with him, but the entire part
was captured few miles from Khar
y koff. Last March FOmin was put o
his trial, and the day that the orde
, was signed summoning the court-mal
tial, the governor, Prince Krapotkir
out of revenge, was assassinated. Th
t trial ended in the condemnation {
g Fomin to the mines of Siberia for lift
but, as it was imagined that the care
less trans. Ural officers would not kee
him in safe custody, he was remove
to perpetual Imprisonment in the citi
del Of wilma. From this confnemer
: he has successfully escaped, and b
this time has probably joined the n
hilist refugees in Switzerland.

LONDON, October 80. "A Berlin
correspondent explains that the alb
sence of any reference to European
politics in the speech of the Emperor
William at the opening of the Prus-
sian Diet yesterday was due to the
fact that foreign affairs are the exclu-
sive concern of the empire, and their
mention would be out of place in a
speech from the Prussian throne
and that the reason no reference was
made to certain vexed questions OF
school and church policy would seem
to lie in the circumstance that no leg
islative steps in these respects is at
present contemplated.

THE Republican Tammany coali-
tion on local ticket in New York is
complete. Both parties have nomi.
mated full tickets, with the under
standing that certain persons on each
ticket are to be elected If possible.
The New York Times and Herald
agree in this view. Republican sup
port of John Kelly's local ticket is
the price the Boss exacts from the
Republicans for his labors in dividing
the Democratic party. There is a
possibility both Republicans and
Tammanyites may come to grief, as a
result of this odious bargain.
