RUSSIA.
The Assassination of the Car.


To day many foot-passengers passed up and
down the street where the assassination took
place. Large crowds continue in front of the
Winter Palace.
Funeral mass was celebrated before
densely- packed congregation.
It is asserted that if the Gar had permitted
himself TO be driven on in his carriage after
the first explosion he might have averted the
assault. Yet it is regarded certain that more
assassins were posted in different parts of the
city.
The Gear never took the same road for
driving out or returning. Only at the mo-
ment of starting did he trust the order to the
coaehrnan which route to take.
The second person arrested proved to be
respectable person who was frightened by the
explosion. He was quickly released.
The Emperor's last words were Sasha,
Sasha diminutiye for Alexander.
WORK OF THE NIHILIsTs.
PARIS, March 15th.IA letter from Geneva
in the Intransignent says: After the abortive
attempt at the Winter Palace, the police
seized 100000 francs, constituting the Mill
list fund, and until they had gotten together
more money the revolutionary party were
obliged to keep quiet Warnings were, how
ever, repeatedly sent to the Emperor, the
last one reaching him en- the Sd instant, but
all were disregarded. The assassination was
determined upon to divert the police. The
Nihilists let it be supposed that the explo-
sives were being manufactured in London,
while they were being prepared at st. Peters
burg. The fatal bombs were loaded by
women. The writer adds: There is no Nj
hilist by the name of Roussakoff. Rochefort
prefaced the above by an article in which he
offers wager that before twelve months
passes Alexander III. will have granted Rus
STA constitution.
Voltair has telegram that the entrails of
the Emperor literally gushed out when the
bomb struck him. An anonymous letter an
nouncing the intended assassination was sent
to Princess Dolgourovki Sunday morning
She endeavored to persuade the Emperor to
stay at home. Placards proclaiming Death
to Alexander" and warning mis- successor
that if he did not adopt liberal policy he
would share his fathers fate were placed on
all the streets in st. Petersburg Sunday
evening. Voltair councils the new Gar to
break at once with Bismarck and the Ger
mans, and says: "Our wishes are neither
untimely nor impertinent that the new Car
will be French enough for us if thoroughly
Russian"
THE CARS REMAINs-THE BOMB THRowERs.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 15th.-The re-
mains will lie in state in the chapel of the
Palace for fifteen days. Prayers will be said
nightly.
The Minister of the Interior states that one
of the chief organizers of the attack on the
Gar was arrested March 11th, and has con.
fessed his completely and denounced Roussa-
koff in person. Roussakoff, being shown the
corpse of the man who evidently threw the
second bomb, and was himself mortally
wounded, recognized his accomplice. The
house from which Roussakoff obtained the
bombs has been discovered. As soon as the
police appeared the male occupant shot him
self, but a woman living with him was ar
rested. The police found number of gren-
AIDES and proclamations stating that the
assassination would be accomplished by two
persons. This morning young man entered
the house and was arrested, but not until he
had fred revolver six times, wouuding three
of the police.
THE NEW EMPEROR AND THE TRADITIONS OF
TEE OLD.
CHICAGO, March 15th.-The Times Berlin
special says Russia, having assumed a
commanding attitude toward the rest of Eu-
rope, and affected a tone of defiance regard
ing her foreign policy, it is rendered neces.
sary that she shall fully expose her present
position. The immediate effect of the death
of the Russian Emperor will, it is expected,
exercise wholesome influence upon the home
affairs of the Empire. The new Emperor, it
is believed, possesses the requisite elements
for soothing down existing differences among
the nobility, and reconciling that portion of
the aristocracy who showed signs Of disaffec-
tion because of the measures of progress un-
dertaken by the late Emperor. The opinion
is generally entertained that the new En-.
peror will follow the traditions of his early
predecessor in endeavoring to make the Rus
sian Empire dependent on her own resources.
The development of the latter has been
hitherto largely controlled by foreigners, to
whom the new regime will prove inimical.
FRENCH VIEW OF THE NEW RUSSIAN REGIME.
PARIS, March 15th.-The new Emperor of
Russia is almost entirely ignorant of the
affairs of State. He will probably speedily
set aside his fathers advisers. Privy Coun-
cilor Pofedouoza would bring with him bias
and nsrrowness, such as would not allay in
ternal OF foreign disquietude. As to the
domestic policy, neither the Cars personal
capacity nor his friends and advisers, nor the
circumstances OF his accession, warrant the ex-
pectior- that his Inauguration will assure
a more coneiliatory or liberal course. Indi-
cations are that he will adopt repressive
measures.
The Gar is said to be anti German, but
this is vague expression. Greece has now I'M
questionably Jealous champion in the EN-
press of Russia Her first effort will be
directed toward a policy more favorable to
Greece. This might open up a prospect dis
quieting Europe, but for the hope that Tur-
key, taking note of these bearings, will
promptly avert the danger by making neces-
sary concessions to Greece.
REMAINS OF THE LATE EMPEROR.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 15th.-The Grand
Duke Vladimir was yesterday appointed to
the command Of the Imperial Guard and the
military district of St. Petersburg.
The remains Of the Emperor will be re-
moved at 8 o'clock this evening from the
cabinet adjoining the reception hall to the
the Imperial family dignitaries and officials
will be present. The body is, in accordance
with the wish of the deceased, clad in the
uniform of the Presbraschenski Regiment. A
requiem was chanted at 8 o'clock last even
ing. At midnight the doctors made an
autopsy, which proved that all the internal
organs were in normal condition, thereby
refuting the recent current report respecting
the health of the Emperor. The body has
been embalmed.
NIHILIsT CORRESPONDENT INTERVIEWED.
New YORK, March 15th.-The Herald
reports an interview with the Nihilist CORE
spondent of the Springfield Republican, of
whom it says there are probably very few, if
any, living in this country more familiar
with the deep-laid schemes of Nihilists to
overthrow the Russian Government He
traces the assassination of the Car to the
latter's refusal of demands personally made
upon him by Nihilist delegation to whom
he granted clandestine interview. At this
meeting he was addressed in substance as fol-
LOUIS sGiye to the Poles what Won nrom.
ised and your father and uncle before you,
Constitution and not only 70 the Poles, but
to the whole nation. An article that is good
for expectation ought to be doubly good for
home consumption. It was good for Russia
in your eyes to spend millions Of money and
to sacrifice tens of thousands of lives in order
to obtain Constitution for Bulgaria and the
independence OF Roumauia. and it ought to
be good for Russia. It is in your power to
become really the father of the people, as
YOU are styled. Grant Constitution and
YOU will establish frmer the Romanoff
DYNASTY and be beloved by the whole of your
people, like the Austrian Emperor" In the
characteristic manner Of his family, the Gar
answered, sNot during my lifetime or after
me, if l can help it." Upon this they left
him, and you see the result.
