General seliverskofF Murdered in Paris

PARIS, Nov. 19.-General Seliverskoff.
Russian agent in France, died to-day from
the effect of mysterious bullet wound in
his head. One report says a stranger called
upon him yesterday at Hotel Babe, and
after he departed Seliverskoff was found
by his valet unconscious, shot in the head
Other reports state the general received no
visitors. No weapon was found and the
furniture was not disarranged. The police
attach some suspicion to the valet. The
authorities are conducting an inquiry into
SeliverskOh's death. The police are CON
WINGED the valet had nothing to do with the
shooting. The evidence clearly points to as
sassination. The assassin is believed to be
a Russian Pole named Podelsky. a servant
who has absconded. The further the an
thorities inquire into the murder, the more
the evidence tends to prove the murder
was committed by Nihilist and was an
act of political vengeance.
A man resembling the murderer was ar
rested near the Spanish frontier tonight,
Another Russian has been arrested here.
Friends of the dead general do not think
the murder is due to Nihilist vengeance.
