PARIS, March 16.-Rochefort and
1 Oliver Paine left for Geneva yes
terdsy to obtain authentic details OF
the assassination from their Nihi-
list correspondent.
A fresh communication from this
person is published to-day in the
Intransigeant, which warns the
public againt attaching too much
credence to kilograms from st. Pc
tersburg and declares positively
the young man Roussakoff can not
have thrown the first bomb. The
real criminals, according to the
correspondent. were inside one of
the mansions bordering Rue Mill
one, but Russian officers found it
convenient to let 1t be supposed
the shells were thrown by persons
in the crowd. None of the assas-
sins have been arrested. The in
ference drawn from this statement
is that the Emperor was murdered
by members of the Nihilist party
in high official position. The cor
respondent further aff1rms that the
bombs were not inclosed in glass,
as stated, and that only five seconds
elapsed between the two exRlo
sions. The last statement is inter
preted to upset the picturesque
story about the Gear getting out
of his carriage to attend the
wounded.
ST. PETERSBURG, March 15.-The
minister of the interior states that
one of the chief organizers in the
attack upon the Gear, who was ar
rested on the 11th of March, has
confessed his complicityf and de-
nounced Roussskoff In person.
Roussakofi, ON being shown the
corpse of the individual who evI-
IDENTIFY threw the second bomb, and
was himself mortally wounded, rec
ognized his accomplice. The house
from which Roussakoff obtained
the bombs has been discovered.
AS soon as the police appeared, the
male occupant shot himself, but a
woman living with him was ar
rested. The police found a mum.
ber of grenades and proclamation
stating that the assassination had
been accomplished by two persons.
This morning ayoung man entered
the house and was immediately ar
rested, but not before he had fired
revolver six times, wounding
three policemen.
Last week the Gar. received a
small box, ostensibly containing
pills, with a letter from abroad.
When Dr. Botkin opened the box a
slight explosion occurred. The
pills were found TO contain hi ghly
explosive substance, and enough
to kill three persons if all the con-
tents simultaneously exploded.
Roussakof, the thrower of the
6rst bomb. is a thick set. short
neeked, and repulsive looking dark
man. He is very stubborn in his
refusal to reply to any question.
He is uninjured. The officer who
assisted to raise the Gar says he
retained sufficient. consciousness
to request TO be taken toths Palace
to die.
A revolutionary proclamation,
discovered at Roussskof7s dOmicile,
declares the NihilisSs will continue
their work and warns the new EN-
peror to beware IF his fathers tate.
NIHILIsM IN LONDON.
LONDON, March IA midnight
a policeman on duty at the Mansion
Fl use observed a fire on the ground
near the Lord Mayors official resi-
dence, and found box with fuse
connected, to which some lighted
paper had been recently applied.
The officer extinguished the fire
and took the box to the police sta
ton, where it was found to contain
about forty pounds of gun powder
with fuse in the midst of 1t. No
arrests, nor any clue to the perpe-
traitors.
The Lord Mayor says the explo-
sion would probably have not dam
aged the Mansion House, but would
have damaged the Egyptian Hall
and adjacent private houses, and
entailed serious loss of life. He
himself, he said, was not at home at
the time. One account says an
Irish newspaper was found amongst
the packing of the powder.
The Standard says: Two Amer
ican newspapers were found with
the powder box discovered near the
Mansion House. The corporation
of London has offered fl00 reward
for the perpetrators OF the crime.
An additional police force has been
stationed at the Mansion House,
Bank of England and other impor-
tant buildings.
