Grated, and all the others present were
Frustrated by the shocks.
The premier's escape was miracul-
Gus. for only a moment before the ex-
plosion took place he had stepped in
side his study in the rear of the salon
to speak to Prince ShakOvsky. Al
though he was but slightly injured, he
is completely Frustrated by the calam-
ity.
Indescribable Havoc.
The havov wrought by the explosion
is indescribable. Bodies were so torn
or mangled as to make naturalization
impossible, some of them headless,
armless or legless, lying among the
blood1drippng wreckage. Pieces Of
flesh and clothing chung to the shat
tered rafters overhead and some
lodged in the branches of the elm
tress which border the roadway sepa-
rating the premier's residence from
the river. When the Associated press
this evening succeeded in securing per-
mission to pass the cavalry guarding
the approaches to the house, the dead
and wounded already had been re-
moved to neighboring hospital. BY
the light of flaring torches the police
still were picking out from the wreck
age bits of flesh and placing them in
towels for transportation by ambu
lances to the morgue. At the hospital
the correspondent saw frantic attend
ants trying to arrange the shattered
bodies into some semblance of human
form for indentification by weeping
relatives outside.
The terrorists who carried the ex
plosive into the house were literally
converted into pulp by the force of the
explosion. Inside of the gendarme
coat which one had on was found the
death sentence of Premier Stolypin
that he had tried to execute. The po
lice refuse to make public the contents
of the document.
NJ. Moukhanoff, a member of the
late parliament who, at the time of
the explosion, was waiting to see Prem
Ter Stolypin concerning permission to
hold a congress of the constitutional
democratic party, says:
Il was sitting with some other visit
ors. including several ladies, at long
table in the waiting room. NJ. StOlypin

Woman Shoote Down Gen. Min.
st. Petersburg, Aug. 3O.-The un-
successful attempt on the life of Pre-
mier StOlypin, with it's useless slaught-
er OF % persons, was followed tonight
by another revolutionary outrage, in
which General Min, commander of the
Smonovsky guards. was killed on the
station platform at Peterhof by a
young woman, who fired five shots
into his body from an automatic re-
volver and then, without resistance
submitted to arrest.
The capture of the girl was effected
by General Minis wife, who held her
until the arrival of an officer.
This was the third successive at
tempt Oh the lie of General Min, who
was condemned to death by the ter
rorists imedately after the Moscow re
volt, last December. on account OF
stern repression practiced by battal
ion under his command. and especial
~ for the wholesale execution of per
sons condemned by drum-head court
martial for being caught with arms
in their hands.
General Min was returning from his
summer residence at Peterhof and hat
just greeted his wife and daughter or
the platform when young woman
almost girl-approached from be
hind and fired two shots into his bach
and then three more into his body as
it sank to the ground. Further shots
were prevented by Madame Min, who
threw herself upon the murderess
and seized the hand which held the
pistol.
The woman did not attempt to es
cape, but she cautioned Madame Min
not to touch a handbag which she
had placed on the platform before
shooting General Min, adding that ii
contained a bomb
To the police she admitted that
she had done the deed saying that
she had executed the sentence of the
fighting organization, but she refused
to give her name.
During the Moscow revolt Min
who was then a colonel, commanded

itself. The Second battalion of the
guard, under the command of Colonel
Riman. conducted repressions along
the railroad at Kasan, for which Ri
man was condemned to die. Several
attempts were made to execute this
sentence. when Riman received an ap
pointment on the staff of Genera
Skalon, governor of Warsaw, after
the bomb outrages at Warsaw, and
left two days ago to assist in the sup
preston of anarchy in Poland.
The death sentence had long huns
over the head of General Min owing
to the disfavOr into which he had
fallen because of alleged harsh meth
DDS and cruelty.
