The NihiIist Trials.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 30th.-The Min
lister of Justice is overwhelmed with applica-
tions for admission to the trial of the Mill
lists. Certain representatives of the press
will probably be admitted, on condition of
combining their reports to the external cir
cumstances of the case, while the representa-
tives of foreign journals, many Ct whom have
come specially for the session, have not yet
been able to see the Minister regarding their
admission. Many applicants will doubtless
be disappointed. All of the FIVE prisoners
will be charged with belonging to secret
society for subvertine the existing order of
things, and with completely in the assas-
sination of the Emperor. Public Gu
riosity centers in the female prisoner,
Sophie Pieoffsly. whose ari tocratic
connections, social position and superior
education excite general wonder. She
is the daughter of former Provincial Gov
ernor, and the niece of an officer of high rank
in the army. According to the confession of
Pieoffsky and Jelahoff, they alone knew of
the attempt to be made on the Cars life,
and the time and place. Their fellow-con-
spirators in London and elsewhere knew in
general way that another attempt would be
made. Roussakof was only informed of
what was required of him on the day of the
murder. Jelahoff, the chief director in the
matter. having been arrested two days before,
Pieoffsky became the guiding spirit, and sent
Roussalloff and the other murderers with the
bombs to the stations assigned them. Rous-
sakoff protests that he was not in any
way admitted to the councils of the
conspirators, but was merely a fell
low worker. He asserts that the
Nihilists latterly have mad no money, that
there was considerable disagreement among
them, and they would probably have dis
persed had their last attempt failed. Rous-
sakoff seems to be e Nihilist, pure and sim
pie, having no project or desire beyond the
destruction Of the present order of things.
Pieoffsky and Jelahoff avow that the object
of their operations was to terrorize the coun-
try, disarrange the machinery Of the Govern
ment. and bring about, if possible, Social
istic Republic. after the pattern of the Paris
Commune. The other two prisoners,
Michaeloff and the woman Helfmann, seem
of less Importance. Both refuse to answer
the charges made against them.
skobeIofYs Recall
ST.. PETERSBURG, March 30th.-General
Skobeloff was recalled because he asked per-
mission to occupy Osasis, south of Merv, to
reach which he would have had to traverse
Persian territory, the Emperor not desiring
fresh embroilinents abroad.
Settlement Sought.
ROME, March 30th.-The Russian Senators
Bentonif and Massoleff have arrived here,
to negotiate settlement of the questions
pending in regard to the Church in Russian
Belgrade.

NEWCASTLE [Natal), March 30th.-At a
meeting Of English and Dutch refugees from
Iransvaal a petition to the Queen was drawn
up, stating that confding in the public
declaration of General Wolseley and Sir
Bartie Frere, that the annexation OF the
Transvaal was probable, they invested capi-
tai here, and their property is now worthless
and their capital lost. A resolution was car
RED summoning the English and Dutch resi-
dents Of the Trarsvasl not to surrender the
town to the Beers, and promising support in
the event of civil war. One colonist prom
ised to subscribe el0 600 to the war fund.
The intention is also avowed of summoning
the ratives of the Transvaal, and also the
Swazies and Zulus, to assist in the resistance
of Boer supremacy.
