TUB ASSASINATIOX,
• ACCOUNT.
Nr.w Yoim. March 14.—A Loudon special
gives the following story of tho assaslnalion
of the Czar: The town was startled by tho
announcement that the Czar Alexander had
been mortnllv wounded by the explosion of a
bomb thrown by assaslns while lie was out
driving in the forenoon. At first It was
supposed the report was a canard, for the
Kmperor’s nssuHination has often been
announced and as often denied since the
Nihilists began to compass his death. Later
on, however, cmne news of his death, which
was quickly followed by n full account of
the tragedy. Lord DulTcrin, British Ambas
sador at St. Petersburg, had meantime In
formed the Foreign Gillen of tne affair, and
ids dispatches were at once forwarded to tlie
Queen, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of
Edinburg. and other members of the Uoyal
family.
THE DITIIESS or EDivnuuo
was at the Bake's seat In Kent with her four
children. Prayers were olfored for tlie
Duchess at tlie afternoon service In the
churches, amt In the evening special refer
ence was made to the murder from the pul
pits of the principal churches. While there
was great excitement in Court amt ofll
ciul circles, ‘there was comparatively
little on the streets. The fact is,
tho people had lopg expected as
much, (treat sympathy Is expressed by all
classes for tho Duchess of Edinburg, who Is
In a delicate condition. Tho Bussian Em
bassy at Chesum House, Bulgravo Square,
was kept busy answering the questions of
Bussian merchants mid others who Hocked
there to hear Uio news. Tho Embassy has
no information on tho subject beyond an
onicial iiotlllcallon of tho Czar’s death and
copies of reports whlchwlll be found below.
SPECIAL SEUVTCKS •
were held in all tho Greek clmrches to
night. All agree as to Uio following facts:
Tho Czar was returning in a covered carriage
from Michael Palace at 11 a. in. with Ids
brother, Grand Duke Michael, Ills escort
consisted of quarter troops of Cossacks, and
several otlleers of the household accom
panied him In sleighs. As Uio carriage was
passing along tho banks of tho Ekatcr
inopky Canal. immediately opposit
to tho Imperial stables, a bomb was
thrown by a man who was standing behind
a knot of pedestrians who had slopped to
see the Emperor go by. It exploded with a
crash right under tho body of tlie carriage,
splinters dying across tho street, but doing
no Injury beyond tearing away tho back
part of the carriage. Tho driver, who bad
drawn up, descended from, J»ls box, and the
Cossack escort, which was g v fow pacealn tho
rear, at once galloped.up, At thW illuo there ■
were
NOT MORE THAN TWENTY PERSONS PRESENT.
The Czar, on hearing tlie crash, at once
raised the window, opened the door,
nml_ Jumped out, and, while ho
was drawing his fur clonk about
him. a second bomb was thrown from a knot
of lookers-on, exploding at his foot. Tlie
smoko of the llrst explosion was still hang
ing about, and, when the second bomb struck
tho pavement, the dense cloud enveloped tho
carriage. There was a howl of pain nml
anguish from tho Cossacks, some of whom
were killed, and morn wounded by (lying
splinters, and three or four of the lookers-on
fell also. This crash brought a squad of
police, who were Just going on duty at tho
Imperial stables. As the smoke lifted tho
Czar was seen lying on Ids back beside tho
wreck of the carriage, his legs torn and shat
tered, and blood pouring from
OHAHTLY WOUXDS IX IHS Til Kill.
Ills cloak and wearing apparel were liter
ally lorn from his back. He was deathly
pale, ami his cries to the ofllcers of the house
hold for help were scarcely audible. Col.
DJorsbky, of his, suite, who was badly In
jured by Uio second explosion, which had
shattered his sleigh, raised tho Emperor
from tho ground, and, with tho aid of Cos
sack odlcers, lifted him Into a sleigh
and conveyed him to tho Winter
Palace. Ail this did not occupy three
minutes. As tho prisoner was thrown Into
the .sled and driven olf under strung guard.
Col. DJorsbky’s sleigh, bearing tho wounded
Emperor and two or threu attendants, drove
rapidly through Uio streets to Uio Winter
Palace, where a mounted messenger had
previously arrived with tho nows. By this
tliiio Uio story was known through the neigh
borhood of Uio palace, and as tho sleigh drove
through Uiu main gate people stood by un
covered, white hundreds and thousands
Hocked to
THE SCENE OK THE TUACIfcDV.
Tho alarm had been sounded in tho military
and police barracks, and In a trice tho guards
on the Winter Palace wore doubled and the
streets lined with soldiery. The news soon
reached the churches, and tho congregations
rushed Into the streets ami nuulofortho
palace, where squadrons of Cossacks and
regular cavalry kept them at bay. Gen. Mell
kolf, Military Governor, was on tho spot In
ten minutes after the Czar’s arrival, and he
at once called out largo detachments
of cavalry’ r -ml artillery, ami telegraphed
all commanders in the city and
outlying posts to hold thomsolves In readi
ness to move with the troops at a moment’s
warning. There Is no doubt Uio authorities
have feared
A lIENKUAI. msixn OF THE NIHILISTS,
but, If such a tiling had been contemplated,
it was out of Urn qne.sllon, the whole city be
ing an armed city before Uio clocks struck Vi,
The drenicn ami tlie police kept asliurp look
out fur tires, nml Uio principal Government
and municipal buildings were put under
close guard.
Meanwhile the Cossacks and police had
charged upon the knot of people from which
tlie two bombs were dung. Several persons
pointed to a imm in tlie rough sheepskin
garb of a peasant, amt declared
HE HAD .THROWN THE KHIST J3IIKLL.
This was continued by the Cossacks, who
saw him hurling it. Tlie Colonel of Police,
Archemolf, seized him. Tho man strug
gled desperately; and ns, now dismounted,
tho escort closed upon him, ho drew a re
volver as though intending to shoot the
Grand Duke Michael, hut his hand was
struck down and in an histunthuwosthrown
to tho earth ami securely pinioned, the police
putting Irons upon , him and the Cossacks
binding him with ropes. A largo body of
military and police had guthorgd by this
time, and active search was made for
THE OTHKK ASSASIN.
There was a cry that ho hail run Into Urn
Imperial stables, every dour of which was at
once guarded* while the police scoured the
yards of the buildings, tint no trareof liini/j
could he found. The Czar was canlcdup-s
stairs on a litter, besides Uio surgeons Uj*
ordinaiy, the most skilled men in tin* city
wore present, but the case was hopeless.
Ills left leg was fearfully, shattered, tho
greater portion of tho foot and ankle hav
ing been blown off, and Ids right leg was
nearly
TORN FROM Ills RODV.
lie was sensible, with brief intervals of un
consciousness, to tho Inst, lie had Inst an
enormous qimn illy of blood,and theshoek had
utterly prostrated him. The doctor’s efforts
to rally him were fruitless. At 1:30 p. m.
the Imperial family were summoned to tho
bedside, where prayers for the dying were
being said tty thu Greek Patriarch and clergy.
The lenve-lnking is said to have been most
touching. The Czar kissed them all and
gave them Ids blessing. He bore the agony
of Ids wounds
WITH lIKROIC FORTITUDE,
and said lie trusted lie was ready to die, and
Russia would never forget he had been
sacrllleed for upholding her Institutions aud
maintaining law ami order within her bor
ders. Towards 3 p. m. it was evident
the end was near. TheEmperot’s strength
was waning, and every now* and then tho
blood streamed from the ragged wounds.
When doctors spoke In wlspersof trying am
putation, tite dying man opened Ids eyes and
motioned them away. ,At3:3'Jp. m.
HE IIRBATItED HIS LAST,
A Council of State was forthwith convened,
and ns Uie Czarowllz, who, contrary to Ids
usual custom, was surrounded by an escort,

him ns Emperor.
Tho Grand Duke Michael was slightly
wounded.
The first announcement St. Petersburg had
that the work of the assaslns was complete
was the firing of minute-guns, tolling of
church bells, and hoisting of national Hags at
half-mast upon the dome of tho Winter Palace
and turrets of the principal buildings. A
minute Inter and flags at half-mast and in
verted Hags fold Russian custom) were
drooping from Hngslairs on tho houses of the
nobility and gentry, and Court. Government,
and municipal officials, and the long roll of
kettle-drums was heard in every street.
TUB WILDEST EXCITEMENT
prevailed In tho neighborhood of tho unlace,
but tho people on the streets, ns a rule, re
ceived Die news in sullen silence. There
was no weeping or lamentation, except
nmung the soldiers, by whom lie was most
beloved. In the lower quarters, where
tho .Nihilists are supposed to be numer
ous, crowds gathered at tho corners
and discussed tho tragedy, remarking, ns the
police and military dispersed them, “They
have done for him at Inst.” Ail places of
public resort were closed, and will remain so
for some days.
Police agents to-night arrested several per
sons who were overheard denouncing tho
dead Emperor and applauding tho murder.
Ten minutes after
TUB FIRST ASSASIX WAS ARRESTED
his follow-conspirator felt Into the bands of
the police. He had run from the scene in
the confusion that followed the second ex
plosion and concealed himself In an old
building standing in a lane near the western
wing of the Imperial stables. A cordon of
police and Cossacks had been drawn around
tho stables, so that escape was impossible.
The police routed him out of his hiding
place, ami ho was bound and scut oiT to n
dungeon in tho Palace of Justice under an
escort of Cossacks, lie admitted his guilt,
ami, on being told his accomplice had also
been arrested, said they were ready to die at
any moment, lie Inquired if tho C/nr was
dead, and, on tho polico refusing to answer
the question, gleefully exclaimed: “Ahl
I know by that that we have suc
ceeded. Long live the people!” The polico
refuse to give tho names or any particulars
relating tn tho prisoners, and reports cur
rent In the streets are mere guesswork.
That they are Nihilists Is, however, beyond
doubt. Roth are young men. and apparent
ly of good birth and education.

New York, March 13.—Justus Schwab,
Uio Communist beer-seller of tills city, re
ceived the news of the Czar’s nssaslnationin
credulously, and seemed to regard It us a
rusetp. gain admission to his beer-shop, the
doors of which had to bo kept locked
on account of tho despotism of the
polico. When Schwab w»s convinced
of tho truth of' the report he
uttered an emphatic “Good!” (hen he ad
vanced to thu centre of the room, and shak
ing back his long yellow hair, waved his
hand for attention.' “Friends,” ho cried, “1
have tho pleasure to announce to you the
dentil of tho Emperor of Russia.” Then he
repeated the news in German. Some of the
men rose and begun to question Schwab.
There was
A CHEER OR TWO
and some hand-clapping. It was not very
enthusiastic, but it was enough to make a
man, apparently a stranger, say, “Letno
one applaud.” This provoked laughter, and
then Dio games of cards went on. Schwab
said Uiat lie thought thu death of Dio Czar
would help Dm Nihilists, and that the Czaro
wltz would ho obliged to grant liberal
concessions. “It was right to kill him,” he
said, “fur ho represented a system that must
be abolished, and lie was bad enough of him
self. The only thing he ever did that was
good was to free tho serfs.”
C. Savnrri, Die Secretary of the United
Trade Societies, also exclaimed, “Good!”
Hu said, however, Dmt ho thought Uio assus

Russia who had been in sympathy with

also injure tho Social Democratic

but Dmt it would KTad to Die temporary ex
tinction of Nihilism. Nevertheless, ho re

them wishing death to Emperor William and
to Bismarck us well.

Mr. Vlercck stated to TireTmnuNureport
