SOME CONTRADICTORY REPORTS.
The NihIIlst side OF the story OF the As
sasHInAtIOn.


PARIS, March 10.-RoCheiort and Oliver
Paine left for Geneva yesterday to obtain
authentic details OF the assassination from
their Nihilist correspondent. A French
communication from this person Is publish.
ed to-day in Intransigicanl, which warns the
public against attaching too much credsnce
to the telegrams from 81. Petersburg,
declares positively that the young man
Roussakotf could not have thrown the first
bomb. "The real criminals" according
to the correspondent, "were inside OF one
Of the mansions, bordering Rue Millione,
but the Russian officers found 1t con.
venient to let II be supposed that the shells
were thrown by perSons In the crowd.
None ofthe assassins have been arrested" !"
The inference drawn from this statement
is that the Emperor was murdered by
members Of the Nihillst fraternity holding
high office. The correspondent further
atHrma that the bombs were not inclosed
In glass as stated, and only fve seconds
elapsed between the two explosions. The
last statement Is interpreted TO upset the
picturesque story about the Gar getting
out Of his carriage to attend to the
wounded.

rectOrahip.
WASHINGTON, March lG.-A year or
more ago Clarence King, Director Of the
Government Geological Surveys, express.
ed desire to resign in order to attend to
his private affairs. He was urged to re-
main and did so. He has now resigned
finally, and his successor has been nomi.
mated and will probably be confirmed.
There are rumors that the late Director
resigned because OF the Dissatisfaction OF
Western mining men with his method
and work, but no one seems TO know any
thing definite about them. Mr.. Kings
friends say that lie resigns because he de.
sires to pursue actively his profession, that
OF mining engineering, whose practice
yields him annually ten times the salary
hereceved as director. The nomination
OF John W, Powell to be his successor was
made OF his instance. Between them there
Ia close, pleasant friendship, aud when
King was appointed II was owing as much
to the efforts Of Powell as OF any other
man.
