NIHILISTS DID 1T.

The latest version of the recent accident
to the Car is as follows: The Car was re-.
turning about o'clock in the afternoon of
December 18th to the Gatchina Palace from
u shooting excursion, accompanied by a
suite in eight sledges, with number of SER
wants Although darkness was coming on,
the party noticed on the road ahead six men,
apparently peasants. The Cars aides
de-camp drove forward and ordered the
men to clear cut of the way. The men sa.
uted the officers and appeared to obey the
order, but when the Cars sledge came on
a level with them they Suddenly wheeled
around and fired at the Car thrice, AMI
two of them ran toward him. The hors,,
drawing the imperial sledge became fright.
ened and galloped some hundred PAGES, when
the Gar was thrown out OF the sledge 4
bullet lodged in the Cars shoulder; il Of.
fers, however, no danger. The CZat's inI.
lowers Immediately Embarrassed their scdsc
horses mounted the animals and followed
the would.be assassins, who escaped in Il
neighboring wood. Owing to the depth of
the snow, the pursuit was fruitless. Oue
of the pursuing officers yentured too far and
has not returned.
The Telegraph, referring to the foregoing,
says: whether this story is true or uu-
true, the revival of Nihiism is undoubted.
The Nihlist executive committee promised
to give the present Gar fair trial. No
constitution and no reforms have been
granted, although he promised them. His
trial is therefore at an end"
A NihIist proclamation announces that
Lieutenant Colonel Sudeikin was condemn
ed to be executed by the Nihlist executive
committee. Nine Wolkenstein. to whose
recent arrest the murder of Col. Sudei
kin has been attributed, is the sister of
lady who shared in all the attempts against
the late Gar, and who was finally hanged.
The proclamation also contains Il terrorist
article directed against the Gar personally.
Much anxiety prevails at the Gatchina Pal
ace.
