The Murder Of SOudaikin.
From the Times.

The main facts concerning the muir
der of Colonel Soudaikin, which took
place at St. Petersburg ON the night
OF Friday, december g, are now
pretty clearly established. For some
days the Russian Government endea-
soured, in accordance with its tradi-
tional policy, to keep back all anthem
TIC information. But the crime was
too startling aud too atroclous to be
hushed up even in Russia, and the at
tempt to do 50 can have had no other
effect than to intensity the public APP
prehension. There can be no doubt,
of course, that the murder was the
work of the Niailis,s. Colonel Sou
daikin had long been a marked man,
and his position as chief Of the Secret
Section of the Prefecture rendered
him specially obnoxious to the impla-
cable conspiracy which undermines
society in Russia. For some time
past Nihilism has seemed to be cOwed
by the effect Of its own violence, and
by the re'ribution which overlook
the murderers of the late Gar. But
it is now clear that the Jul was only
temporary, and that the spirit which
animates the conspiracy is as deter
mined and as ruthless as ever. What
is more, il is plain from the circum-
stances attending the recent crime
that no section of Russian society is
free from the faint of Nihi!ism, which
permeates even the RANKS of the Off
cial hierarchy itself. This has long
been more than suspected, but the
part played in the murder of Colonel
Soudaikin by one Of his W most
trusted secret agents brings the fact
