THE EVENT IN OTHER COUNTRIES
It is impossible to give room to detailed &C
counts Of the reception of the news in other
countries. 1t is sufficient to say that the assas
sination has called forth unanimous expressions
Of detestations for the crime and of coincidence.
The following resolutions, introduced by Mr..
Morgan Of Alabama, were unanimously adopt
ed by the United States Senate:
Whereas, The senate of the United States
has been informed of the death, by unlawful
and inhuman violence, of his ma esty. Emperor
Alexander II of Russia,
Resolved, That the senate of the United States
unites it's voice with that of all civilized people
IN denOuncing assassination as means OF re-
dress for any grievances, either real or imagin-
airy.
Resolved, That remembering and cherishing
with satisfaction the relations of friendship that
have always existed between the people and
governments of Russia and the United States,
| to the Strengthening and maintaining of which
the late emperor has earnestly contributed his
great influence, the senate extends to the GOV
eminent and people of Russia its coincidence in
this sad national bereavement
Resolved. That the secretary of the senate de-
liver copy of the resolutions to the president

POLICY OF ALEXANDER III
The minister of foreign affairs has addressed
the following to the Russian representatives
abroad:
His majesty, the emperor, on ascending the
throne of his ancestors, assumes as his lnhel'-
lance the traditions consecrated by time and
their acts. Russia has now attained her full
development Feelings of jealously and dis
| content are equally foreign to her. The emper-
or will first give attention to the internal devel
opment of the state. The emperor's foreign
policy will be entirely pacific. Russia will re-
main faithful to her friends, will reciprocate
the friendiness of all states and act in common
with other governments in maintaining gener-
al peace. Only the duty of protecting her hon
or or security may divirt her from her work OF
internal development: The emperor will en-
deavor to strengthen her power, advance her
welfare and secure her prosperity without det-
riment to others. These are the principles by
which the policy of the emperor will invari-
ably be guided. The emperor charges you to
bring these declarations to the knowledge of the

foreign affairs.
MADE SURE WORK.
Gable special: Rochefort's letter to the In
transigent from Geneva says that Roussakoff
joined the nihilsts few days before the assas-
sination Of the car. Rochefort supplements
his letter by telegram stating that up to Mon
day night, at least, Roussakoff had confessed
nothing. The nihilists pretend that they have
formed as to what passed on his examination
and that in few days they will be able to pub
fish an accurate report of all the interrogatiois
to which he has been submitted. Rocheeort's
dispatch adds: ''Had the first shell missed the
emperor, three others would have been thrown
before he reached the palace"
ALLEGED CONFESSION.
One OF the chief organizers captured two
days before the assassination confessed after
the deed was accomplished, and go deeply in
eliminated Roussakoff that he also confessed
and denounced his accomplices; hence the az
rests on Monday and Tuesday and the dis
covery of the mine. Many revolutionary proc
lamations have been found posted inside and
outside various public buildings. The Novoe
Vremya says the Russian authorities were ad
yised several months ago that a nihilist from
Chicago I'LL, had re-entered the country.
