The Assassination.


PARIS, March 16th.-Rochsfort and Oliver
Paine left for Geneva yesterday to obtain
authentic details of the assassination from
the Nihilist correspondent. A fresh COM
munication from this person was published
to-day in the IatrdnSigednt which warns the
public against attaching too much credence
to kilograms from st. Petersburg, and de-
clares positively that the young man Roussa-
koff cannot have thrown the first bomb.
The real criminals, according to the corre-
spondent, were inside one of the mansions
bordering en- Rue Millione, but the Russian
officials found it convenient to let it be sup
posed that the shells were thrown by persons
IN the crowd. None of the assassins have
been arrested. The inference drawn from
this statement is that the Emperor was muir
dered by members of the NihiIist fraternity
holding high official position. The CORE
spondent further affirms that the bombs were
rot inelosed in glass, as stated, and that only
Ave seconds elapsed between the two ex-
plosions The last statement is interpreted
to offset the picturesque story about the Gar
getting out of his carriage to attend the
| wounded.
