details of the assassination of General
Kozlov of the headquarters staff in the
park at Peterhof on Saturday, proved be-
yond question that the murderer believed
he was killing General Trepoff. The traE-
edy occurred at $3.50 in the evening in the
presence OF several thousand people who
we're listening TO the music in the English
park below the grand chateau, adjoining
the park of Alexander palace, where the
imperial family and General Trepoh re-
side.
A young man, dressed in the clothes of
a workman, seeing General Kozlov, who
resembles General Trepoff. gazed long and
earnestly at the generals face, and then
took photograph from his pocket to COM
! pare 1t with Kozlov's features, as If to
make sure Of his identity.
KozIOv Dies Instantly.
The man then drew pistol and Aired four
shots point blank at Kozlov, who fell NOR
tally wounded and died on the spot. The
assassin started to fee, nut Prince An
dromiroff seized him and turned him over
to the police, who thronged the park.

| prisoner was conducted safety to police
headquarters. When he was searched Ire
poff's photograph was found in his pocket,
leaving no doubt regarding the identity of
the person he intended to kill The assas-
sin refused to give his name although he
| openly avowed that he was a member of
the social revolutionary organization, and
the police have not yet been able to find
out his name.

Trouble in Capital.
Sunday night witnessed the usual col
! lision between workmen and police and
| gendarmere in the industrial quarters OF
| the capital. The most serious affair oc-
! CURED on the Sclhesselburg road, where a
! crowd of 5000 persons attacked a steam
street car which ran over a drunken sol
der. The crowd stopped the car with the
| intention cf !ynching the engineer and con.
ductor, but were finally dissuaded by the
pacific counsel of a workman.
The mobiles having large estates have
| formed an organization for the mutual pro-
lection of their properties, both against
appropriation by law and despoilatlon by
the peasants.
