 LONDON, Feb. 22.-The Standards Berlin correspondent telegraphs the following: 'Lately theCzar hardly ever left the the Win ter Palace. When he went abroad he was sur rounded by a cloud of mounted officers, who concealed the carriage and protected the inmates with their bodies. In the palace he was accessible only to diplomatists, dignitaries and officers of the household. At chapel detectives occupied seats that were formerly reserved for distinguished visitors. Detectives invested the kitchen Every dish was tasted by persons of rank, specially se- lected for the purpose. The Emperor did not even dare to open his letters, doc uments steeped in poison having repeatedly been sent him. Yet, with all these elaborate precautions it occurred to nobody to search for the announced, advertised and placarded mine in the basement. The Emperor and the Duchess of Edinburgh were seated in an apartment next to the dining room when they heard the report of the explosion. The lights were extinguished and the gas pipe burst The officers and the valets went blind ly through the dark, and then poured pro miscuously through the door of the royal apartments The sovereign was found grop- ing his way out of the fatal quarter. All who saw the sight-the picture of Alexander II. leading his daughter away from the mine of dynamite-say it was one that could never be forgotten"
