Sr. PETERsBURG, April Il

ST. PETERSBURG, APTil II, iots'
While the Gear was taking his usual
morning walk early to-day near the lIn-
perial Pa ace four shots from revolver
were fired at him. The Car was unhurt.
The man who fired the shots was arrested
by the crowd which the firing attracted.
The city is decorated in token OF thank
fulness for the Cars escape. The priso-
ner is now undergoing examination.
The full official account OF the affair
SAYS Toward eight o'clock this morn
ing, as the Emperor was taking his GUS
tomary walk, a respectable dressed man,
named Skolof, wearing military cap
with cockade, advancedtoward HIM, and
as the Emperor approached nearer, drew
a revolver from the pocket OF his overcoat
and fired four shots at him.
The assassin, before submitting to his
captors, fired another shot, slightly wound
ing in tue cheek a person in the crowd.
THE POPULAR DEMONSTRATION.
The great throng of people which had
assembled enthusiastically cheered and
congratulated the Emperor, who thanked
them for their proofs OF fidelity on such
painful occasion. He said he knew ht
had the support of all respectable people
lie hoped God would grant that he nigh
complete his task, which consisted IL
promoting the welfare Of Russia. Th'
Emperor, after the fregoing speech
drove to the palace without escort. Ill
has not suffered the least i'll effect from
the attempt upon his life.
Atterward he drove, still without es
cort, TO the Kasan Cathedral to return
thanks for the preservation Of his life
When receiving the congratulations o
the officials of the Empire at noon TIN
Car was so much overcome by his ell
thusiastc reception as to be unable t.
speak for some minutes. On recoverin
from his emotion he said .-"This is til
third time God has saved me-"
TRYING TO ESCAPE The EXECUTION
ERs.
The Emperor's assailant gave til
name of Skolof. He is a retired funct
ionary OF the Ministry of Finance, an
/, about thirty years o,d. He fired at III
Emperor within two PAGES. After I'll
first shot the Emperor approached Sko
off, who fired again and then ran. tn
various accounts given as to the eXa,
number of shots fred are conflicting. A
officer OF the gendarnerie, with draw
sword, pursued Skolof. Three moI
men then joined in the pursuit. Skolc
fired at them, shattering the jaw of d.
tective. Finally gentleman knocke
Skolof down and held him until he va
secured by the officers. 1t is suppose
that he took poison before his attempt,
he vomited Immediately af,er his ARE
and has bee vomiting severely all da
1t is said that poison was found und
his finger nails. Antidotes were admit
istered. 1t is also thought that Skol

ereigns have telegraphed their congratl
latious.
