the soldiers VINO were killed Dy the eX-
plosion In the winter palace and of
those who have subsequently died of
1 the wounds there received, took place
to-day. The spectacle was very impress
siye. The greater part of the regiment
composing the imperial guard at st.
Petersburg were marshalled for the
ceremony. The bodies of the dead
placed in numbers of four upon gun
carriages, preceded by aregiment of the
/ imperial guard marching with arms
reversed, with the band playing fun
eral dirge, were conveyed from the
A chapel where the religious services over
them had been performed, to the ceme-
. tery on the east side of the Neva, and
4 were their inferred with the usual mill
tary ceremonies, platoon of the infan-
try firing rounds over the graves as the
earth was thrown on the coffins.
The attitude of the populace as the
funeral cortege passed from the winter
palace to the cemetery was ominously
cold and threatening. 1t has been
learned that simultaneously with the
explosion in the palace bombs were
thrown in the adjoining streets. One
of them burst Immediately under a
private carriage that was passing at the
/ time damaging the vehicle considerable
but inflicting no serious injury on the
occupants.
Investigation has not yet brought to
light the persons by whom the bombs
were thrown, although the daring act
of employing them at that time is be-
lieved to indicate the existence of an
extended plot against the government,
for the outbreak of which the success
of the experiment inside the palace was
probably intended to be the signal. The
explosion of the bombs is believed to be
due to a knowledge communicated by
some secret means to the conspiratoIs
of the failure of the palace mine 10
destroy the car The conclusion Of
the police is that the bombs were thrown
from one or more of the houses which
front on the street in the rear of the
winter palace, which alone would afford
position of security and retreat to the
persons who threw them.
AS soon as the extent of the disaster
within the palace was ascertained all
the suspected buildings in the vicinity
were strictly searched but without
finding any proof of the completely Cd
the part of any of the inhabitants.
An officer Of tile guard has myster-
iously disappeared and it is believed
that he is implicated in the attempt on
the emperor's life. The governor of
the winter palace Is to be tried for
laxity of duty.
The Countess Panil, lady in waiting
to the czarina, was last week banished
to Archengel, being charged with nihi-
lism.
Paris, Feb. 21.-The recent at
tempt on the life of the car continues
to furnish the republican journals with
a scheme for comparison and public
congratulation. In the Rappel, of this
morning, Auguste Vacqueril concludes
an article on the subject, in these
words:
"In u republic, those that suffer
have no need of knife or pistol. They
haue universal suffrage. We leave to
the party of moral order to prefer to
the regime of the vote, that of assas-
sination."
Curious rumors are ahoat in connec-
{ tion with the arrest of man in the
Champs Ulysses. He is described as a
Russian subject, accused of some polit-
ical offense. Several republican depu-
ties, hearing that the extradition of
this man was demanded by the Russian
ambassadors, intended yesterday to
ask for his release. Circumstances just
disclosed tend to give extreme impor.
tance to the capture of the man, who
is supposed to be Hermann, the author
of a dastardiy attempt on the czar's
life at Moscow. Hermann is known to
be hiding in Paris.
The minister of justice is now delib-
Grating ON the case. The proposed de-
mand for the mans release has been
temporarily abandoned by the deputies.
Great excitement still prevails here
over the winter palace conspiracy and
Its disastrous results.
The Grand Duke Nicholas, who left
Paris yesterday, expects to arrive at
