London, ia dispatch from St.
| Petersburg says:
AS the Emperor was returning from
the parade in Michel MAnege, about
o'clock on Sunday afternoon, bomb
was thrown which exploded under the
Cars carriage, which was considerably
damaged. The Gar alighted unhurt,
but second bomb exploded ut his feet,
shsttering both legs below the knee and
lnficting other terrible injuries. The
Gear was Immediately conveyed in Cd
unconscious state to the Winter Palace
where he died at 4.30 o'clock this sfter-
noon. Two persons we're concerned in
the crime, one of whom was seized im-
nediately. the explosion also killed an
officer and two COssacks. Many police
and other persons were injured.
st. Petersburg, l4.-Tbe police ar
rested several persons overheard de-
n0uncing the dead Emperor and applaud
ing the murder. Upon the arrest of the
second assassin he admitted his guilt,
and on being told that his aecomplice
had also been arrested, said they were
ready to die at any moment He in
quired il the Gar was dead. On the
police refusing to answer the question be
gleefully exclaimed, "Ahi know that
that we have succeeded. Long live the
people!"
The police refuse to give the names or
any particulars relating to the prisoners,
and reports current In the streets are
mere guesswork. That they are nihilists
is, however, beyond doubt. Both are
young men and apparently Of good birth
and education.
A st. Petersburg correspondent says
the imperial carriage was attacked on
the Ekat erinofsky Canal, opposite the
imperial stables, while the Emperor was
returning with Grand Duke Michael
from Michs el Palace, in a closed car
risge, supported by eight Cossacks. The
frat bsmb fell near the carriage, destroy
ing the back part. The Car and his
brother alighted uninjured. The assss-
Elm, on being seized by the colonel of the
police, drew a revolver, but was pre-
vented from firing it. A second bomb
was then thrown by another person, and
fell close to the Cars feet. Its explo-
sion shattered both legs. The Gar fell,
crying for help. Col. DoUibki, though
himself much injured, rsised the En-
peroT, who was conveyed to the Winter
Palace. in Colonel DoGibki's sleigh.
Large crowds Assem- bled before the pa
lace, but were kept back by a troop of
Cessacks. The imperial fami y were ali
assembled at the deathbed.
The council of state Immediately con-
vened. All places OF public resort were
closed.
a st. Petersburg correspondent tele-
graphs that the CZar's right leg was
nearly torn from his body, and the left |
leg badly shattered. A Cosssek and |
passer-by were killed on the spot. Grand |
Duke Michael was wounded. An officer
Of tho escort and 8 Ccesack have sincei
died. The Gar fingered an hour and q
half. ALI efforts 10 rally .him failed. |
The only word he uttered after being /
struck was the name Of the zatoYitch.
The latter, en- leaving the palace, after
the death of the Gar, was .hailed as en-
peror by the crowd. He was surrounded,
contrary TO his custom, by q strong
escort. People are intensely
excited and Indignant. The soldiery,
who greatly loved the Gar, are furious.
All officials FASTENED to the palace 10 in
luire as to the condition Of the Czsr.
kilograms sunouning the death were
'ent to all foreign courts and to every
part of the empire.
II is stated that the bombs were
made of thick glass, flied with
nitro glycerine. The asssssins stood
on the opposite sides of the road. The
carriage wSs moving fast as tne first shell

carriage again, but he moved few PAGES
