pl0carded mine in the basement The En-
peror and thu Duchess of Edinburg were
seated in the apartment next TO the diningroom
when they heard the report Of the explosion.
Lights were oXtnguished, and the gas pipe
burst. The Princess, officers and Wallets went
blindly through the dark, and then

Letter containing few words Of menace and

oppression he would not live to celebrate the
twenty-ffth anniversary Of his accession.
The sheet was always bordcred with black.

unsuccessful.
