BERLIN, June DEMONSTRATION OF
the czar Of Russia, according to spe-
cial st. Petersburg dispatches which
escaped the Russian censor and were
received here today, bar ely failed yes
terday.
An anarchist plot to dynamite the
rulers train between Ksshineh and
the capital succeeded only in serious
ly wounding several passengers on a
preceding train.
The czar and his whole family were
near death. With the czarina and
their children, the Russian ruler and
his encourage left Kisshinen in two
special trains. From Kasatin, an or
dinary pass snger train preceded the
royal coaches, according to the usual
custom when a Russian emperor takes
his life in his hand to journey across
his empire.
Near Tschudnow terrific explosion
overturned the engine and dsrailed
the coaches of the passenger train,
several of the occupants being Sc
verely injured by flying splintsrs Of
4 the wreck which were scattered for
many yards when the dynamite ex-
ploded.
4 Immediately the news OF this explo-
sion was telegraphed back to Kasatin
and the czars two trains were held
there while secret police and Cossacs
! from the czar's guard W sre rushed on
special train to the scene of the
attempted assassination. No arrests
SO far as known were made. The at
tempted murderers of royalty fed,
leaving no trace OF their identity.
After a thorough search OF the vi
cinity had been made, a special train
with track walkers ahead went slowly
in advance of the two royal trains
until they were out Of the region OF
the attempted assassination.

Of Czar Nicholas Of Russia and his
whole family by dynamite was at
tempted by anarchists yesterday near
Tschudnow, Russia, according to spe-
cial dispatches received here today
from ST. Petersburg. A st. Petersburg
mail train which preceded two imper.
ial trains carrying the czar and his
family from Kisshineff was blown up
near Tschudnow while the car was
only short distance behind. So great
was the force of the explosion that
several coaches Of the passenger train
were shattered and many of its pas
sengers badly hurt. The police today
are searching the whole district near
where the attempt was made. No
doubt Is entertained in st. Petersburg
secret headquarters that the design
of the plot was to slay the whole
Russian imperial family with the one
exception.

parrntly much like his old self Re
emily there were indications that his
.'~rlady was returning and relatives
tsok steps to have him committed to
the St reter hospital.
On Monday Mr.. Park was taken to
Blue Earth and examined before a
commission OF physicians He was
found to be OF unsound mind and or

day morning as IL was intended tc
take an early train.
In preparation for the trip Mr.
Park was given a razor and shaved

Ing he replaced 1t in the case and
put II awsv. Instead he evidently con
cealed Il about his person. A moment
later he excused himself and stepped
out into the yard under some trees
Here he cut his throat, severing the
jugular vein and dying almost instant
~. The relatives had him out, OF
sight for only moment but he was
dead when found.
