THE GEAR WOUNDED.
Shot at by Nihilists While Returning
From o Shooting Expedition.

VIENNA, Jan. 4.-The latest version of the
recent accident to the Gar says the Gar was
returning about three o'clock the afternoon
of Dec. II to the Gatchlna palace from q
shooting excursion, accompanied by his
suite in eight sledges with number of SER
wants. Although the darkness was coming
on tie party noticed on the road ahead six
men, apparently peasants. The Cars aides
drove forward and ordered the men to clear
out of the way. The men saluted the Off
GERS and appeared to obey the order, but
when the Cars slengc came on the level
with them they suddenly wheeled around
and fired at the Car thrice, and two of them
ran toward him. The horses drawing the
Imperial sledge became frightened and gal
loped some hundred PAGES when the Car was
thrown out of the sledge. A bullet lodged in
the Cars shoulder, giving no serious trouble
however. The Cars followers Immediately
embarrassed their sledge horses, mounted
the animals and followed the would-be as
sassns, who escaped in the neghboring
woods. Owing to the depth of snow the
pursuit was fruitcss. One of the pursuing
officers ventured too far and has not returned.
The London Telegraph, referring to the
foregoing, says whether this story is true or
untrue, the revival of Nlhilism is undoubted.
The Nihillst executive committee promised
to give the present car fair trial. No con-
stitulion and no reforms have been granted,
although he promised them. His trial is
therefore at an end.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. A Nihilist pro-
clamation circulated here announces that
Lieut.. Col, Sudeikin was condemned to be
executed by the Nihlist executive commit
tee. Nine. Wolkenstcin to whose recent
arrest the murder of Col. Sudeikn has been
attributed is sister of lady who shared in
all attempts against the late Gar and who
was finally hanged.
The Nihilist proclamation also contains a
terrorist article directed against the Gear
personally. Much anxiety prevails at the
Gatchina palace.

day, about three miles from the camp found
Stafford in the firm embrace of a she bear,
both frozen stiff. A knife was sticking in
the left fore shoulder Of the bear. A short
distance away was half grown cub with
