A Nihilist's Confession.

An extraordinary story, which could
scarcely possess stronger title to dis
credit than the fact that q st. Petersburg
correspondent sent it to Paris paper.
has just been made public. The story
runs that young nihilist called upon
the Chief of Police in st. Petersburg, a
short time ago, and, on being admitted
to his presence, avowed himself men,
Der of revolutionary party, and stated
that he had been sent to warn the En-
peror that if he granted constitution
he need fear no conspiracy, but that if
he persisted in his reactionary policy
nothing could save him. At this point
in the interview the police officer seemed
anxious to call in assistance, but the
young nihilist stopped him and added:
81 do not wish to be subjected to the
indignity of torture. In coming here
have sacrificed my life. could have
killed you, but we do not commit muir
der uselessly." With these words he
stepped back a few PAGES, and knocked
two large buttons, with which his cuffs
were fastened, against his forehead.
The buttons being full of an explosive
substance, burst, and inflicted such
wounds on the young man that he ex-
pired in few moments, leaving no
trace as to his identity.
