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 Payoich Ignatieft. formerly gov
ernor of Kieff, was ASA ssinated here to-
day.
Count Ignatietf WAS with Gen IRE
induce Emperor Nicholas to withdraw
the parliamentary reforms He began
his career as Il common soldier. lie
was a member of the council of the EN-
pirc, chamberlain to the Empress. and
held many other high dignities and hon
ors
During the disorder after Red sun
day lgnatieH was sent by the Emperor
to investigate southern Russia and re
ported urgent necessity for immediate
reforms to avoid a catastrophe. This
chiefly induced the Emperor TO pro-
claim the first Russian parliament.
MOSCOW. May SIN addition to the
accusation against Maxim Gorky of en-
gagng in IA political propaganda the
procurator has charged him with partici-
patton IN the December uprising here
and it is rumored that his eXtradltlon
from the United States will be asked
for.
The good impression produced by the
official animation of the new premier
that the government is working III har-
mony with Parliament, has been dIs-
sipated and the old feeling OF mlStruSi
revived. The liberals are utterly dumb
founded by the unexpected promuigatlGh
of the obnoxious fundamental law. II
put an end to the claim of the new
cabinet, that the downfall of Witte was
due to imperial diSapproral OF the orig
inal draft Cf the law. An article III the
law eXemptinE crown lands IRON taAa'
ton and appropriation, and another re re-
serving the power OF amnesty l"r pom
zeal prisoners to the Emperor, are bound
TO produce clash.
The Indignation aroused 10y the Eiilpo-
ror's attempt to build an artificial dyke
around the crown has been lntenslhed
by the astounding action OF the ponce
last night in dispensing a meeting OF new
Parliament members at the huI OF tht
economical society.
NJ. Roditcheif. a member of ParIa-
mcnt for 81. Petersburg, hurried after
midnight to where the Constitutional
Democrats were meeting and told IN"
news. An understandable scene OF 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
cded that one of the first things after
the assembling of Parliament shall be n
demand for the dismissal of the chief of
police.
The local authorities also. with .
fatuous genius for laundering, lntiamet
the working classes yesterday. Without
warning they ordered many of the lead
crS OF the workmcn to leave the city.
4 mass meeting of black hundreds,
held yesterday under the presidency of
NJ. Dubrovin. poured oil on the flames 10y
cXaction of an oath from all present To
the effect that if Parliament is found t.
,,fs 'troit ,r will tlfar trpfr
lives to protect the autocracy.
Twelve columns of the Official McSsca-
ger today are devoted to ukases and or
dcrs. The Emperor has yielded To the
demand of ;ho Russian people Of the
Baltic provinces and Poland, where no
elections have been held, by granting
two seats in Parliament to each.
