COUNT IGNATIEFF SLAIN
FORMER GOVERNOR OF KIEFF AS
SASSINATED IN THAT CITY.
New Parliament Members Lose Faith in
Government as Result of Sensa-
tional Change of Front.

KIEFF, Russia, May Seen. Count
Alexis Pavolich Ignatieff, formerly gov
ernor of Kieff, was assassinated here to-
day.
Count Ignatief was with Gen. Ire
poff, the instigator of the conspiracy, to
induce Emperor Nicholas to withdraw
the parliamentary reforms. He began
his career as a common soldier. lie
was a member of the council OF the en-
pire, chamberlain to the Empress, and
held many other high dignities and hon
orS.
During the disorder after "Red Sun
day." Ignatieff was sent by the Emperor
TO investigate southern Russia and re
ported urgent necessity for immediate
reforms to avoid a catastrophe Inns
chiefly induced the Emperor to pro-
claim the first Russian parliament.
MOSCOW, May Sin addition to the
accusation against Maxim Gorky of en-
gaging in a political propaganda the
procure tor has charged him with partlcl-
patton in the December uprising mere
and it is rumored that his eXtradltlon
from the United States will be asked
for.
The good impression produced by the
official intimation of the new premier
that the government is working i'll mar
mony with Parliament, has been DIS
sipated and the old feeling of mlstrust
revived. The liberals are utterly DUMB
founded by the unexpected pr0mulgatl911 "a
of the obnoxious fundamental law. 1t
put an end to the claim OF the ne"
cabinet, that the downfall Of Wltte was
due to imperial disanpr0Vai OF the orig
inal draft CT the law. An article III the
law exempting crown lands from TAXA
ton and appropriation, and another Re-
A., Of
ical prisoners to the Emperor are bouhd
to produce a clash.
The Indignation aroused by the Empe-
rors attempt to build an artificial dyke
around the crown has been lntenslned
by the astounding action OF the ponce
last night in dispensing a meeting or new
Parliament members at the hal OF the
economical society.
NJ. Roditcheff a member OF Iarlla-
ment for st. Petersburg, hurried aIter
midnight to where the Constitutional
Democrats were meeting and told the
news. An indescribable scene or Jury
followed 1t was declared that the gov
ernment's appeal for confidence had
again been false and that the people
must rely upon themselves. 1t was de-
cided that one of the first things after
the assembling of Parliament shall be a
demand for the dismissal Of the chief OF
police.
Inc local dutHOIitleH dloo, i'm q
fatuous genius for laundering, intlamed
the working classes yesterday. Without
warning they ordered many of the lead
ers of the workmen to leave the city.
A mass meeting of ''black hundreds. .
held yesterday under the presidency Of
NJ Dubrovin, poured oil on the flames by
eXaction of an oath from all present to
the effect that if Parliament is found TO
consist of TRAITORS they will offer their
lives to protect the autocracy.
Twelve columns of the Official Messen-
ger today are devoted to ukases and or
ders. The Emperor has yielded to the
demand of the Russian people of the
Baltic provinces and Poland, where no
elections have been held, by granting
two seats in Parliament to each.
