 Killed by Explosion.
 Tiflis, Nov. 11.--A deafenlng bomb explosion occurred on Pethansky street at an early hour this r-orning while the police were making a search of cn unoccupied house. The noise of the explosion was audible for great dis tance and the entire city was shaken Three policemen we're killed and four wounded.
 The police discovered some revo- lutionary proclamations under a bed in one of the rom in the house. They went to a window and pulled aside a curtain. There was a flash of blue flame, followed immediately by the explosion the force of which was so great that the body of a ser geant, one of the men killed, was hurled over neighboring roof. The whole upper portion of the house fell in.
 It is apparent that a snare had been arranged and the police lured into 1t. The police received a tip to search this particular house which is located in the Tartar quarter oi the city and which has not been inhabited since the Tartan-A Armenian massacres of last year.
