NEW YORK, March 16.-A special from
Paris says that Rochefort aud Ohyer Paine
left for Geneva yesterday to obtain authen-
tic details OF the Emperor's assassination
from their Nihilist correspondent. the man
who signs the initial 3D." A fresh
communication from this mysterious per
son was published to-day In L'IatrdnSiged'lt,
which warns the public against attaching
too much credence 20 kilograms from Sc.
Petersburg, and declares the possibility
that the young man, Roussakoff, cannot
have thrown the first bomb. The real
criminals were, according to "D,n inside
of one of the mansions bordering the
Rue Millione, but the Russian officials
found it convenient to let 1t be supposed
that the shells were thrown By persons in
the crowd 'fNoae of the assasslns,n adds
I'D, "have been arrested" The natural
inference drawn from this strange state
ment is that the Emperor was murdered by
members Of the Nihilist fraternity holding
some official position. SD" further affirms
that the bombs were not inclosed in glass,
as stated, and that only five seconds elapsed
between the two explosions. II this is cor
rect IL would seem to upset the story about
the Car getting out of his carriage to at
tend to the wounded Cossacks.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 16.-It has been
thought necessary to follow up the procla-
nation of the Emperor Alexander Ill. by a
special ukase summoning the peasants to
join in allegiance with the other
faithful subjects. The GoloS says: "The
late Cars reforms have not attained
their end because cooperation of action
on the part of the government and society
is necessary, and this has been wanting for
years past. There is faction In Russia born
and nourished by public apathy. The
s ate has lately invited society to
assist In struggling against this faction,
but public forces which have become
dormant are not awakened with one
blow. The question OF the form
in which this operation is to express itself
has lately become matured, and there Is no
doubt that had sacrilegious hand not
ended the life of the Car he would have
decided the question in the interest OF his
people. This task now devolYes on Alex
ander ILL.,"
The new Czarowitch Nicholas has been
appointed Ottoman of all the Cossacks.

issue than to diminish the responsibilities of

civil rights, permission to engage in com
merclsl or professional pursuits after three

LONDON, March 16.-A dispatch to the
Times from Berlin says: "When the news OF
the assassination reached Berlin, tt was
feared that the murder might increase the
severity OF the Socialist law here, ard this
result has already become noticeable. A
number of suspected persons have been
According to the official report
lately presented to Parliament, it
seems that the anarchic element,
though unseen, is more vital and
vigorous after a lapse of two years than
when the Socialist law was passed. The re-
port says efforts have been made, which
were partially successful, to distribute So
cialist organs among the people and even
among the troops"
The authorities were informed that a
mine had been laid in a small street which

site the Annitchkof. Palace, the residence Of
the new Emperor. A detachment of sap
pers accordingly began exploration from q

peared three days ago. The street was
barrackcd at both ends to prevent the pub
lie from approaching. The sappers, on
opening up the ground and searching the
cellars, discovered mine in the above men

room, concealed under an ottoman.
The mine passes under the street
leading to the riding school, whence the
Gar was returning on Sunday. Eight more
arrests have been made, and a quantity Of
explosives have been discovered.
The Agence RHSse says: ''The grief felt
for the Emperor by the Russian nation is
inconsolable. If they required proofs Of
the immeDsity of their loss it would be forth

which pour in from the sovereign govern
ments and national republics of the whole
world" The public will be admitted to
view the body without distinction OF class.
