LONG RECORD IN FIVE MONTHS.

Doubassoff governor general of Moscow,
was frightfully wounded by the explosion
of bomb thrown at his carriage Sun
day afternoon. One foot was blown off

and head 1t is feared his injuries will

Terror Spread in Elizabethpol
News comes also that the governor
general of EliZabethpol was assasslnated
Sunday.
The man who threw the bomb at Mos
COW was killed and mutilated by the ex-
plosion. Gel. Kokonetzoff, the governor
generals adjutant, was killed, as was
policeman and boy who happened to be
near at hand. A number of bystanders
were injured and the coacnman's skull
was fractured. The carriage was de-
Gov.-Gen. Doubassoff had been at the
Uspensli cathedral, where services in
honor of the Cars name day had been
held. Knowing he was under sentence
of death by the terrorists, he had ar
ranged to aIight from his carriage at
side entrance to his palace. But on the
way home from the cathedral he changed
his mind.
Assassin's Aim Is Bad.
AS the governors carriage drove up to
the palace gates young man, dressed III
the uniform of a naval officer, stepped
from the sidewalk and hurled bomb ut
the carriage.
The assdssin's aim was at fault, for
the bomb struck the pavement several
PAGES to the rear of the carriage. Even
then the force of the explosion was SO
great that the carriage was demolished
Gov.-Gen. Doubassoff was hurled Tor
ward under the horses heels. 1t is
thought the assassin was the student i'll
whose rooms a bomb exploded on Satur-
day, killing three accomplices.
March bold attempt on Doubas.
soffs life was frustrated by the arrest OF
woman who had actually invaded the
palace with bomb in her hair.
Forty-fve Years in the Navy.
Vice Admiral Doubassoff entered the
navy in 1850 as a midshipman, and won
his st. Georges medal the highest deco
ration for bravery the Gar can bestoW,
during the Russo-Turkish war, when, as
lieutenant, he fought side by side
with Makaroff, who went down IN the
Petropavlovsk at Port Arthur.
But it is as diplomat and q states
man instead of a sailor that Doubasso1f
has won his renown in Russia. He is
natural born leader of men, stern, harsh
and a severe taskmaster.
Terrorist Harvest of Death.
The terrorist branch of the Russian
revolutionary party has been active i'll
the last five months, the list of notable
assassinations of Russian officials since
December /, 1905, including:

In addition a score or more of chiefs Of
police in smaller cities of Russia and
Poland have been killed by bombs. On
February II a woman tried to kill Vice
Admiral Chouknin, governor of Sevasto-
pol He was severely but not danger
ously wounded. The woman was shot
and killed by his orderly.
Carried Bomb in Candy Box.
It turns out that the man who at
tempted yesterday to assassinate Dou-
bossoff was revolutionary disguised as
a naval officer, which enabled him 70
approach the palace without creating
suspicion. He carried the bomb in
candy box and had a false passport, IN
which his name was given as Metz,
which proved his connection with the
three revolutionists who were killed by
the explosion of a bomb in their room
on Saturday last that being the name
under which the apartment occupied by
the revoutionists was rented.
