correspondent telegrapbs that the Cars
right leg was nearly torn from his body, and
his left leg was badly shattered. A Cossack
and passer by were killed on the spot. The
Grand Duke Michael was wounded. An
officer of the escort and Cossack have since
died The Car fingered an hour and a half
All efforts to rally him failed. The only
word he uttered after being struck was the
name of the Czarevitch. The latter, on leav-
ing the palace after the death of the Gar,
was hailed as Emperor by the crowd. He
was surrounded, contrary to his custom, bv
a strong mounted escort. The people are
intensely excited and indignant. The sol
diery, who greatly loved the Car, are
furious. All of the officials FASTENED to the
palace to inquire as to the condition of the
| Gar. Telegrams announcing the death
were sent to all foreign courts, and 10 every
part Of the empire.
1t is said that the bombs were made of
thick glass, filled with nitro glycerne. The
assassins stood on opposite sides of the road

shell struck the ground behind it, and the
back of the carriage was blown out The
coachman implored the Gar to enter the
carriage again, but he moved a few PAGES
tFom the carriage to see to the wounded OF
his escort. The assassin who threw the
first bomb tried to point a revolver at the
Gar, but the pistol was struck from his
hand. The Gar seemed TO recover con-
sciousness before his death, as he motioned
away the doctors, who wished to amputate
his legs. The Czarevitch and Czarevna
drove to their palace after the death, amid
thc sympathzing cries of the people.
