Rational Associated Press to the Star.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 4.-Immediately
after the attempts upon the life OF General
Nelikoff yesterday afternoon rumor pre-
vailed that an attack would be made in
force by Nihilist mob upon the Generals
residence, when the attempt to destroy the
Dictator would be renewed. Orders were
sent forthwith to the barracks.snd strong
military guard soon made its appe rance
and surrounded the house. The report that
the assassin made an attempt to escape is
Incorrect. He submitted to arrest without
resistance and without having moved from
the spot from which he fired the shot.
He makes no explanation of the mo-
tyes which led him to the deed
The would-be assassin looks upon his
iste as foregone conclusion. A.
When subjected to an examination be-
fore military tribunal, at which General
Nelikof presided, he maintained very
bold front, and detiantly bade his captors
Do their worst. When asked as to his ac-
completes he said: EVERY third man in
B. Petersburg is my accomplice. There
are some Of them in this room. General
Nelikof, you are surrounded by men who
seek your life, and although | have failed
to-day, some of my comrades may succeed
Tomorrow
The prisoner is young man, of appa-
Eently good education, we'll dressed, and
Of extremely firm and intrepid demeanor
In consequence of an order from the
telegraphic censor, his name and further
particulars relating to him are withheld
The weapon used was revolver, and the
ball passed through General Melikoff's
overcoat, and striking breastplate which
the Gene raj wore, glanced aside
His escape was al. first Insidered mar
velous, but the fact of his wearing bullet
Peoof armor sufficiently accounts for it.
Another story is that the ball struck the
thigh of the General, singeing his trowsers,
md inf1icting slight wound.
