per's sleigh with Col. Dorjibky. The

The man who was arrested yesterday
confessed that he threw the first bomb,
but he denies all knowledge of the man
who threw the second. In addition to
the revolver which the prisoner at
tempted to use, dagger was found on
him. The name he gives is believed to
be false. The prisoner is 81 yea rs OF

to give his name, died from injuries re-
ceiyed by the bursting of the bomb.

inquired if the car was dead, and upon
the police refusing to answer the ques-
tion, gleefully exclaimed, "Ah! know
by that that we have succeeded. Long
live the peoplel"
The police refuse to give the names
or any particulars relating to the pris-

streets are mere guesswork. That they
are nihilists is, however, beyond doubt.
