SENSATION AMONG THE NIHILIsTs.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov 2S.-A great stir
has been made in the Nihilist camp by the
following discovery: About a year ago a
Jew, named G. G.. was denounced by some
person who had private score to settle with
him and was arrested. After he had been
asked few questions it became clear he was
one OF the chief members of the central revo-
lutionary convention. He made clean
breast Of it and denounced over six of his
accomplices and took the police to his labra-
tory, on the banks of the Neya, where six
men were captured in the very act Of manu-
featuring dynamite. A large supply of ex-
plOsives were found in the laboratory. As a
result of this treachery several persons were
sentenced, and two men named Twiatowsky
and Parshniakiff hanged in October, 1850. A
few days afterward the authorities announced
the death of G. G. The body, horribly multi
lated and disfigured was handed over TO some
Jewish friends of the deadiman and buried in
Irose cemetery. The affair made a great sen
sation at the time, and it was
believed G. G. had been murdered in prison
either by the authorities or by some avenging
Nihilists. When the body reached the Jewish
burying ground the rabbi refused to receive it
without certificate of identity. One Of the
Six SeuudIIutS WHO udu esCOTeea tuS UOuy
went back to the fortress, asd presently re-
turned with death certificate filed up with
80 names ,and apparently perfectly regular. The
rabbi was convinced thereby that the corpse
was really that of the Jew and the funeral was
allowed to take place. But astonishing rev.
elations have been made to the Russian police
lately. Numerous arrests have been made in
consequence and the certainty with which
Bosonoff and his successor. Kislow, were evil
do pf 1vy0 ha liSta of tn
find out the man who was prov
ing destructive to them. Investigations were
fruitless for long time, but at
last chance put them on the track of their de-
nouncer, who turned out to be no other than
G. g., who is alive and well and In the pay Of
the Russian police in New York. 1t is now
known that he turned traitor on three con-
don; second, that his death in
the fortress should be proclaimed and
fully attested; third, that he should be
given 10000 roubles to get to America. The
police executed these conditions to the letter.
A body was procured from hospital, So clev-
erly mutilated as to be unrecognizable, and,
as already explained, was buried. G. G. got
his money, aod was quietly shipped off to
America. B fore leaving he wrote q confes-
sion of his faith. declaring he had made his
disclosures to reform the Nihilist cause, which
ought to have nothing IN Common with ter
rorlsm and war, destined to triumph only by
force, PRONUNCIATION of its principles and
united action Of the Socialists all the world
over. G. G.. Wemalatto, by the hope of more
roubles, is said to be still in New York.. giving
the Russian police active and invaluable as
sistance.
PEASANT REPRESENTATION.
The Pariadok says the commission at
tached to the Ministry of Justice for the re-
organization of peasant representation in To-
cal assemblies of the Baltic provinces intends
to iLstigate similar revisions in Caucasus and
Don districts, and in Turkistan.
