Indiana has cast down the sign "No Negro or mulatto" need apply. All honor to her. Indiana ratified the Constitutional Amendments, last Monday, by an overwhelming majority. Indiana has stricken - the word "white" from her Constitution. Will Ohio take notice and govern herself accordingly. General Mahone, of Virginia, announced his intention of voting with th6 Bepublicans for the reorganization of the Senate. This makes the Senate a tie, and giving Vice-President Arthur the casting vote. General Mahone, the readjuster Senator from Virginia, has declared himself independent of the Bourbon Democracy of the South. This is the rift in the dark cloud of the Solid South through which the sunlight of a happier era begins to shine. All honor to General Mahone, and may his shadow never grow less. General Harrison has secured th 3 appointment of General James A. "Wildman for postmaster at Indianapolis. General AVi'dman is a staunch Republican, and did good work in the campaign last fall. His appointment is a deserved compliment to a good Bepublican, and gives general satisfaction. We predict that General Wildman's administration of the office will be second to none Indianapolis has ever had. the: cabinet. General Garfield has commenced his administration under favorable circumstances. The new Cabinet gives general satisfaction. It is doubtful if any President ever constructed a Cabinet againt which there was so little ground for reasonable complaint. We had hoped to see a colored man in the Cabinet, and we still believe it would have been a wise and just step on the part of General Garfield to have given the colored people of the country repreeentation in his Cabinet. Tho President, however, has thought best to defer our hope. While doubting the wisdom of the course, wo shall not question his motives. We believe the President to bo actuated by a sincere desire to promote tho best interests of tho colored people, and, however widely we may differ from him on this question, wo shall givo him our cordial support in every measure for the public good. Wo trust, however, that the President will yet give the colored people more honorable recognition than they ever had from any President, and, in doing so wo hope ho will not feel called upon to send our most distinguished men out of tho country. The old veteran, Fred Douglas, is growing old, and cares and burdens of office doubtless weigh heavily upon him. Tho mission to Brazil would no doubt be a relief to him, as well as a distinguished compliment. Bruce and Langston, and the vigorous educated young men of the race, should be given positions at homo that will enable them to convince the doubting Thomases of the ability of tho men of our race to discharge the duties of any position with credit to themselves and honor to the Government. AS3A88INATICN OF THE CZAR. On last Sunday the whole world was startled by the announcement of the death of Alexander II., Emperor of Russia, at the hands of a Nihilist enemy. The deed was accomplished by the bursting of nitro glyecrino bombs thiown at the Emperor by his self-appointed executioners. The act took place in the open streets of St. Petersburg, while the Emperor was attending a review of his soldiers. The Czar, Alexander II., was not the worst man in point of fact he

was tho best man who has occupied the throne of .Russia since tho accession of tho Romanoff family or before. He has often been compared with Abraham Lincoln, because he, lika Lincoln, emancipated the bondmen of his native country. In point of fact, however, there was a vast difference between tho two men. Lincoln emancipated the Negro slaves because it was necessary to tho salvation of the Union, and because he represented a people to whom slavery was repugnant. Alexander liberated tho seris bimply on account of tho prcssuro in favor of freedom that came from without his dominions. There is as much difference between tho causes which led to the assassination of these two men, as there is between the motives which actuated both in the manumission of tho slaves in their respective dominions. Lincoln was assassinated because he was a friend of liberty and the union of the States. Alexander lost his life

becanso ho was the representative of despotism and the autocracy of oneman power. Russia is now, and has always been governed by tho absolute will of the Czar. Nihilism, which has culminated in the death of this tyrannical ruler, is but the natural protest of the human mind against one-man despotism. We do not wish to be understood as countenancing or defending political assassination, but tho people of Russia and every King ridden country, have rights v hich ought to be, but aro not respected. We hope this summary taking off of tho Czar may be a warning to all tyrants that human patience with, and tolcranco of their UDSurpations is growing less day by day, and they must eventually prepare to make their exit from Europe, at least. A DUTY. "Four Negroes were lynched in Arkansas, yesterday, on suspicion of having murdered a white lady. Does it never occur to Southerners to suspect that some men are lynched in order to screen the real criminals California and other Western States could give particulars of some such treachery. As sentiment now is in tho South, any white rascal can coin mit whatever crime he pleases and settle the matter with justice by havng a iNegro lynched- ew lork Herald. This is plain talk, and, coming from such a distinguished source, it will doubtless call tho attention of civilized nations to the brutality and beastly condition of society in certain localities in the South. We are glad to believe that these occurrences in the South are diminishing in nnm ber; but they are still all too numer ous. The indications are that the better class of Southern white men are beginning to come to the front, and that the hoodlum element will be put down. Not until this is done will thero be any permanent peace or reconciliation. The men of the North who put down the rebellion, and abolished slavery, will not consent to the continuance of such savage customs; and the colored people, therasolves, driven to desperation, will rise up and strike their oppressors. Let the honorable white men of theSouth put down the hoodlum white element which is no less a foe to them than the Negro, and all be well. Any other course must, in the end, lead to anarchy and untold evils. THE LE 1I Kit THINKS. That "spring time has come, gen tle Anna." That nihil means something in Russia, if nowhere else. That whatever betides Democracy, Kentucky will remain a "Bour bon" State. That Windom draws the first blood in his initial scratch with tho National banks That Ben Ilill'sbombwas as fatal to Democratic hopes as RoussakofFs was to Alexander. That Indiana must be adequately recognized in the new dispensation, or something will bo to pay. That the money market is Keene; tho stock., market as good as Gould, and plenty of railroads are being (Vaudcr-)bilt. That tho new Senatorial (Ma-)hone, from Virginia, is not of tho material upon which the De mocracy can sharpen their keenness for office. That between Roussokoff and Romanoff there is an irrepressiblo conflict, that will continue until the former stands side by sido on equal terms with tho latter. One of the great secrets of Mr. Blaine's popu larity is that he has a long memory for names and deeds. A gentleman connected with journalism durlrg the war was Introduced to Mr. Blaine thlr teen years after he had written an account of a battle in the Far West. He was greatly astonished to find Mr. Blaine drawing him aside with the remark, "You are the man 1 have been wL-hing to see for years," and then asking him if a trivial Incident mentioned in the account as published was strictly true. The Implied doubt conveyed no affront; the young man was too much flattered by the fact that Speaker Blaine had remembered him as the author of the story to feel the slightest Insult.

. FOREIGN EMIGRATION. fIndianapolis Sentinel. It is now conceded that an Immense emigra

tion from Europe will occur during the current year. The Berlin correspondent of the London Times comments on the great in crease in the emigration to the United States and says that "whole villages are de scribed by the local papers as migrating from Posen, Prussia proper, and Schleswig. American emigration agents, however, hardly dare set forth the advantages of the various States they represent, as they are warned by the American Legation that it would be unable to help them if they should get into trouble with the authorities. Mr. Wrandel, an American citizeaof Hungarian extraction, who two years ago was forbidden to lecture in Berlin on 'Emigration,' has just been equally unsuccessful on a second visit designed to persuade the authorities of the folly of impeding migration. It appears, however, that the precautions against the exodus of young men have been somewhat relaxed in South Germany. The German Government particularly aims to divert emigration from the United States." But such aclion on the part of German authori ties does not seem to have the desired effect. The Germans prefer America to all other countries when seeking for new homes. A contemporary says that "those familiar with facilities of travel say that the vessels to German ports will be unable to carry the emigrants to our shores this season. Even now every vessel comes loaded. One steamer last week brought an even thousand. The emigrants come with minds made up where they will go and what they will do, and the fertile prairies of the great West will welcome the largest por tion. The authorities of these Western States who desire a thrifty working population should be active in preparation for the new comers. They should not be allowed in any quarter to fall into the hands of sharks and sharpers, but should be furnished witli the most reliable information, and as speedily as possible settled in rural homes." But it is not from Germany alone that the United States will receive vast accessions of population from Europe during the year 1SS1. Ireland, England, Scotland, Austria Russia and Scandinavia will send their full quota. Already arrivals at the Port of New York, since January 1, largely exceed the arrivals for a corresponding period of 1SS0, As there is vast wealth . in this emigration movement, Indiana should be on the alert to secure her full share of it.

It is said that "in those States where the foreign element is large, the general causes are apparent. In the Northeastern States the immigrants are mainly Irish, German and French Canadian, with some Welsh, the attraction being manufactures and-mining. In the Northwest agriculture is the principal moving force and Germans and Scandinavians are theprincipal nationalities drawn from, while in the extreme "West most of the immigration is due to mining, although agriculture and cattle-raising play a very important part. In thirty-one States and Territories in the past ten years natural increase has gained upon immigration, while in but twelve is the reverse the case. In the United States as a whole there is a relative decrease of the foreign element to the extent of 1,516 on an assumed total native population of 100,000, showing that in the whole country, as well as in a majority of the States, native increase has gained upon foreign immigration. The increase of the foreign element has been in New England, where the growth has been in the direction of manufactures; in Dakota nd Oregon, whose wheat fields have invited settlement, and in Colorado and New Mexico, where an extraordinary development of the mining industry has taken place since 1871." THE MURDERED CZAR. Sketch of the Life Work of Alexinder II., of Russia. (Indianapolis Sentinel, March 14. The Czar of Russia, Alexander II., who was murdered yesterday an account of whose death we publish elsewhere this morning was born April 29, 1818. He married iu 1841 Maria Alexandre vn a, . daughter of the Grand Duke of Hesse-Darmstadt. It was wholly a loxt match, Alexander having made his own choice araont? a host of German Frincesses. He mounted the throne In 1855, at a most critical moment for Russia. His father had left the country engaged, single handed, in a war against England, France and Turkey. He continued the war unflinchingly for one year. Sebastopol was taken in September, 1855, but the allies won nothing more, and the Russian resistance continued. In March, 1S56, an armistice was agreed uion and a final treaty was arranged during the same month. The late war with Turkey, with its results, are of so recent date that no special reference Is needed here. An attempt in 1866 upon his life by Karakozofl was frustrated by the interposition of the peasant Komc.aniff, who was ennobled as a reward for his acUon. A second attempt upon his life was made at the Paris Exhibition of 1S07 by a role. Several other attempts to kill him were made within the last year or two by tho Nihilists of Russia, all of which were futile until the last and successful attempt was made yesterday. Alexander was undoubtedly one of the best sovereigns that the Russian Empire ever produced, judging from the outline of his character and the leading features of his

reign, for which we are indebted to Appleton's

Encyclopaedia. As soon as he was crowned Emperor at Moscow, in 1S56, he relaxed the lines drawn to the utmost tension by his predecessor. He began with emancipating the Nation from the military routine which permeated every branch of the Administration. He reorganized the army, dissolved the greater part of the military colonies, freed public instruction from military discipline, and Instead of placing discharged officers as tutors and professors at the head of the educational establishments, appointed men fitted by special studies for these positions. The censors-hip was considerably re laxed and limited, and for the first time genuine publicity was introduced ito Russia. He prohib ited espionage, and instituted measures against official corruption, allowing it to be ferreted out and exposed. He advanced young men in the different branches of the public service, superceding those whose ouly merit was long routine. He gave a new Impulse to industry and trade, developed the commercial marine, and induced native merchants to extend their relations with foreign countries. He aided Russians to visit foreign lands, granted a general amnesty to political offenders und recalled the exiles from Siberia. He also inaugurated the Russian railway system which will finally cover theimmensc Empire with nets of railroads. His greatest measure of reform, however, was the emancipation of the slaves or serfs of Russia. He decreed their emancipation upon March 3, 1861, and carried the project out w ithin two years. Such is a brief outline of the career of the great Russian reformer, whose life was ended as detailed elsewhere iu this morning's Sentinel. He will be succeeded by his sou Alexander, who will be known, probably, as Alexander III. He was burn March 10, 1S45. In 1SG6 he married the Danish Princess Dagmar, who had been the affianced of his elder Brother Nicholas, who died In 1SG5. The new Em peror is noted for his sympathies with the old Russian party. We may therefore look for prompt action in hunting down all who were concerned In the assassination of his father, and a vigorous handling of the Nihilistic party and all questions growing out of the differences between It and the present Russiau Government. PERSONAL. General Charles Ewixg, . brother of General Tom Ewing, is urged for the Governorship of New Mexico. Simon Cameeron said of his son-in-law, Wayne MacVcagh, a few days ago, that the best he could say of him was that he was a snob." To dispose of Senator Edmunds as a Presidential candidate, his chance of tilling the vacant Supreme Court Judgeship is not a remote improba bility. The President and Mrs. Garfield are already entertaining a great deal in a qulefway; tfcey rarely sit down to table without some informally invited guest. Friends of John Russell Young say he has as surances that he will soon be nominated Minister to China.- General GraLt has strongly urged him for this position. Ex-Senatoe Eaton has declined the formal entertainment which his Democratic friends wished to bestow upon him on his retirement from public life. Clark Mills, the sculptor, took a plaster cast of the features of Senator Carpenter after death, from which a bust is to be made for the Congres sional Statutory Hall. W. II. Vanderbilt's guiding maxim in life, delivered to interviewers with great earnestness "Do what you think is right and fair regardless of what other people may think." Lawrence Barrett's three children are at school in Germany, and he will, during his sum mer vacation, have them with him in London He regards Boston as his home. Mrs. Evarts and her daughters will remain in Washington until May 1, and will then return to their house In New York City. Senator Hill, of Colorado, w ill take their Washington house. Ex Governor Henry M. Mathews, of West Virginia, was presented with a solid silver tea set upon his retirement from office, by many citizens of the State, irrespective of party affiliations. Senator Jnes, of Nevada, who once saved himself from financial ruin by pawning his wife's diamonds for $30,000 and speculating with the money, is reported to have fallen into straits once more. A letter from Clovcrport, Ky., claims that that town is the birthplace of President Norvin Green, of the Western Union ; Governor Crittenden of Missouri; Governor Murray, of Utah, and ex-Senator Flanagan, of Texas. Ex-Secretary Ramsey, who has a great deal cf property in his own State, will return there Immediately, give up politics, and attend to his private business. Ex-Vice President Wheeler has also withdrawn completely from politics. By the way, was Wheeler ever in politics? Washington Post: "When senator Conkling entered Willard's Hotel loby last night to see Grant there was a number of office-seekers. The Senator was immediately buttonholed, much to his annoyance, and broke away angrily from the crowd which surrounded him." Mr. Langtry Is in Chicago, partly on business for an English friend, and will probably remain there for three weeks. He will not settle in this country, but will return to London before the end of April. A broad-shouldered, well-built man, with a frank face, brown hair, mustache and imperial. Mr. Langtry is the opposite to a lah-de-dah. He repeats that Mrs. Langtry never dreamed of going on the stage. Ex-Secretary J. D. Cox, of Ohio, says that Blaine goes Into the Cabinet with the understanding that he is to abandon his special efforts to be President: that Bob Lincoln's talents were inquired about by Garfield; that James appointment is strictly business like; that MacVeagh's place is that of an Independent, something like that of Schurz, and that Kirk wood has philan throplc ideas about the Indians. Over fifty years ago James L. Gillis, now Judge GUlis, of Iowa, was one of the men trid for the abduction of William Morgan, the betrayer of the secrets of Masonry. Nearly all arraigned in the trial of his alleged abductors came to some sudden end, and Judge Gillis long since survived all those who were associated with him, A few years ago one of his sons was called to the door of his Iowa residence and shot down. Week before last another son was shot in the same way; and the Judge aud his friends firmly believe the tragedies trace back to the Morgan affair. At the last reception at tho White House Senator Bruce and wife, aud Frederick Douglass with two ladies, making five colored persons, were among the noteworthy guests. It Is reported that "there were no persons of tho party more courteously treated in every respect, and Senator Bruce and his wife were almost constantly holding a little levee of their own, scores of the most distinguished people, Democrats as well as Republicans, Southern gentlemen as well as Northern, and members of the Diplomatic Corps, paying their respects and soliciting introduction. It was a social triumph for the race to which they belong." Some of Jay Gould's early acquaiutancesjar beginning to brighten up that autobiographical sketch of his, recently published in the NewYork Herald, with some incidents which he forgot to mention. Senator Fowler, of Ulster County, nttrrates the following: While tramping about in our County he ran against old Zadok Pratt, of Prattsville. Pratt took a great liking for Gould, and one day said to him: "What would you like to be?" Gould replied: "My highest aspiration is to tie a tanner." Now there was nothing that Zadok Pratt took so much pride in m hU tannery and Gould knew it. Pratt at once said : "I hear there is some good hemlock for sale down In Pennsylvania, below here. How would you like to go into partnership with xne, buy this land with me, and run a big tannery down there?" Gould replied that he would like to do that. Then Pratt said: "When can you start?" Says Gould, "Now." "What, now?" says Pratt; "why, what willjyou do for shirts?" "Oh! I'll borrow one of yours," says Gould. Pratt was .immensely amused, and sent Gould Immediately off to Pennsylvania. At the end of the partnership Pratt, I hear, said that Gould owned all the property and he (Pratt) was 150,000 in debt

ASSASSINATED.

Tho Emperor of Russia Murdered Sunday in His Capital. Two Bombshells Thrown Upon the Fashionable Drive of St. Petersburg:. THE CZAR. After Many Ineffectual Attempts, He Is Killed by a llouib While Returning Home. fIndianapolis Sentinel. London, March 13.A St. Petersburg correspondent says: "The Imperial carriage was attacked on the Ekatrinofsky Canal, opposite the Imperial stables, while the Emperor was returning with the Grand Duke Michael from Michael Palace, in a closed carriage, escorted by eight Cossacks. The first bomb fell near the carriage, destroying the back part. The Czar and his brother alighted uninjured. The assassin, on being seized by the Colonel of Tolice, drew a revolver, but was prevented firing it. The second bomb was then thrown by another person and fell close to the Czar's feet, Us explosion chattering both logs. The Czar fell, crying for help. Colonel Darjibky, though himself much injured, raised the Emperor, who was conveyed to the Winter Palace in Colonel Darjibky'g sleigh. Large crowds assembled before the Palace, but were kept back by a troop cf Cossacks. The Imperial family were "all assembled at the death-bed. The Council of state immediately convened. All places of publie resort are closed." Nr.w York. March 13. A London special gives the f jllowing ttory of the assassination of the Czar: "The town was startled by th? announcement that the Czar Alexander had been mortatly wounded by the explosion of a bomb thrown bv assassins while he was out driving in the forenoon. At first it was supposed the rejxirt was a canard, for the Emperor's assassination has often been announced and as often denied since the Nihilists began to compass his death. Liter on however, came news of his death which wa quickly followed by a full account of the tragedy. Lord Duffrin. British Am bassador at St. Petersburg, had iu the meantime informed the Foreign Office of the affair, and his dispatches were forwarded to the Oueen. Prince of Wales, Duke of Edinburg and other members of the royal family. The Duchess of Edinburg was at the Duke's seat in Kent with her four children. Prayers were offered for the Duchess at the afternoon service In the Churches, and in the evening special refeience was made to the murder from the pulpits of the principal Churches. While there was great excitement in court ana onicial circles, there was comparatively little on the streets. The lact is the ieople had long expected as much. Great sympathy is expressed by all classes for the Duchess of Edcnburgh, who is In a delicate condition. Ihe Russian Embassy at Cheshamv House. Bel grave Square, was kept busy answering questions vi me Kussian mercuants ana otners wno nocKctt there to hear the news. The Embassy has no information ou the subject beyond the official notice of the Czar's death and copies of the reports which will be found below. Special services were held in the Greek Churches to-night. All agree as to the following facts: The Czar was returning in a covered carriage from Michael Palace about 11 a. m., with his brother, the Grand Duke Nicholas. His escort consisted of quartered tiops of Cossacks and several officers of the household accompanied him in slcinhs. As the carriage was passing along the banks of the Ekateriuoisky Canal, immediately opposite xne imperial siauies. a Domo was thrown oy a man wno was standing bemud a knot of pedestrians who had stopped to see the Emperor go by. It exploded with a temnc crasn ngnt unaer me body of the car riage, splinters flying across the street, but doinn no injury beyond tearing away the back part of the carriage, ine anver, wno naa drawn up. descended from his box, and the X'ossack escort. which was a few paces in the rear, at once cal loped up. At this time there were not more than twen ty persons present The Czar, on hearing the crash, at once raised the window, opened the door ana jumpea out. ana wnne he was drawing his fur cloak, about him a second bomb was thrown from a knot of lookers-on. exploding right at his icet. ine smoke ot the nrst explosion was still hanging about, and when the second bomb struck the pavement a dense cloud enveloped the carriage. There was a howl of taiu aud anguUh from the Cossacks, some of whom were killed and more wounoed by flying splinters, ana tnree or tour oi me lookers-ou fell also. This crash brought a squad of iMnce wno were lust going on duty at the impe rial stables. As the tmoke lifted the Czar was seen lying on his back beside the wreck of the carriage, HIS LUGS TORN AND SHATTEEEO and blood pouring from the ghastly wounds in his thighs. His cloak and wearing apparel were literally torn from his back and he was deathly pale and his cries to the officers of the household for help were scarcely audible. Colonel Djorjebky, of his suite, who was badly injured by the second explosion, which had shattered his sleigh, raised the Emperor from the ground, and with the aid of the Cossack officers lifted him into the sleigh and conveyed him to the Winter Palace. All this did not occupy three minutes. As the prisoner was thrown into a sled and driven off under a strong guard, Colonel Djorjebsky's sleigh bearing the wounded Emperor and two or three attendants, drove rapidly through the streets to Winter Palace, where a mounted messenrer had previously arrived with the news. By this time the story was known throughout the neighborhood of the Palace, and as the sleigh drove through the main gate, people stood by uncovored. while hundreds and thousands flocked to the scene of the tragedy. The alarm hd been sounded in the military and the police barracks, and in a trice the guards at Winter Palace were doubled, and the streets were lined with soldiery. The news soon reached the Churches and the congregations rushed into the streets and made for the Palace, - where regular squadrons of Cassacks and regular cavalry kept them at bay. General Melikoff, Military Governor, was on the spot ten minutes after the Czar arrived, and he at once called out large detachments of cavalry and artillery, and telegraphed all Commanders in the city aud outlying posts to hold themselves in readiness to move with their troops at a moments warning. There is no doubt the au thorites half feared a general rising oi the Nihilists, but if such a thing had been contemplated it was quite out of the question, the whole city being an armed camp before the clocks struck 12. The firemen and fire police kept a sharp lookout for fires, and the principal Governmental and municipal buildings were put under close guard. Meanwhile the Cossacks and Police had charged upon the knot of people from which BOMBS WERE FLUNG. Several persons pointed to a man In a rough sheepskin garb of a peasant, and declared he had thrown the first shell. This was confirmed by the Cossacks, who saw him hurling it. Colonel of Police Orchenoff seized him. The man struggled desperately, and as the now dismounted escort closed upon him he drew a revolver as though intending to shoot the Grand Duke Michael, but his hand was struck down and in an Instant he was thrown to the earth and securely pinioned.the police putting irons upon him, aud the Cossacks binding him with ropes. A large body of military aud police had gathered by this time, and an active search was made for other assassins. There was a cry that he had run into the Imperial stables, every door of which was at once guarded, while the police scoured the yards of the buildings, but no trace of him could be found. The Czar was carried up stairs on a litter. Besides surgeons in ordinary, the most skilled men in the city were present, but the case was hopeless. Iiis left leg was fearfully shattered, the greater iortlon of the foot and ankle having been blown off, and his right leg was nearly torn from his body. He was sensible, with brief intervals of unconsciousness to the last. He had los enormous quantities of blood, and was utterly prostrated. The doctors' efforts to rally him were fruitless, and at 1:30 p. m. the Imperial family were summoned to his bedside, where prayers for the dying were being said by the Greek Patriarch and clergy. The leavetaking is said to have been touching. The Czar kissed thera all and gave them his blessing. He bore the agony of his wounds with heroic fortitude and said he trusted he was ready to die, and that Russia would never forget lie had been sacrificed for upholding her institutions and maintaining law and order within her borders. Toward 3 p. m. it was evident that the end was near. The Emperor's strength was waning, aud every now and then blood streamed from THE RAGGED WOUNPS. When the doctors spoke In a whisper of .'rylng amputation, the dying man 0)H-ncd his eyes and motioned them away. At 3:30 p. m. he breathed his last. A Council of State was forthwith convened, and the Czarovitch, who, contrary to his usual custom, was surrounded by an escort, who drove out of the Palace yard. The people hailed him as Emperor. The Grand Duke Michael was slightly wounded. The first announcement St. Petersburg had that the work of the assassins was complete was the firing of minute guns, tolling of Church bells and hoisting of national flags at half mast upon the dome of the Winter Palace and the turrets of the principal buildings. A minute later and tlags at half-mast and inverted Hags (old Russian custom) were drooping from flag-staffs on the homes of nobility and gentry, and Court. Government and Municipal officials. A long roll of kettledrums muttered the tale in every street. The wildestexcitement prevailed m the neighborhood, but the people, as a rule, received the news in sullen silence. There was no weeping or lamenting, except among the soldiers, by whom he was inucn beloved. In the lower quarters where the Nihilists are supposed to be numerous, crowds gathered at the corners and discussed the tragedy, remarking as the police and military dispersed them, they ha.e then done for him at but. Ten minutes after the first assasslon was arrested his fellow conspirator fell Into the hands of the police. He had run from the scene In the confusion that followed the second explosion, and concealed himself in an old building standing la a lane near the western wing of the Imperial

WILL HE AVENGE HIS FATHER'S MURDER? New York, March 13. Upon the receipt of the news of the death of the Czar, the Rn.tin Cnnmii went immediately to Washir f ton. Rev. Nicholas Biewiii!?. .,pd of tho fitwfc Church here, said he had a dispatch from Wash ington that for some time past it wm claimed they had been doing things in Russia in a son -i a "ocmosheil stvie." It was hard to tell which wav matters would go. It was generally believed that the views of Cczarevitch were in opposition to his father, and it was a question now whether he would now seek vengeance for his father's death instead of carrying out his own view. He f.aid the general Administration of late was thought to be acceptable to the Nihilists, but by the death of the Czar the various reforms which he had projected were cut off, aud it was difficult for any man to foretell the future. Father Bjewing greatly deplored the death of the Emperor. THE IMTEEIAL MANIFESTO. St. Petersburg, March 14. The following Imperial manifesto has been promulgated: We. by the Grace of God.

The Czar's right hand, on which was a glove, was found to be greatly lacerated. His marriage nug was broken and driven into the flesh, ihe surgeon tied up the severed arteries. At last, under the influence of sulphate of oxygen and ice, the Emperor opened his eyes, and respiration became more apparent. Chaplain Bajaner availed himpe'fi'fthe interval of a pparent consciousness to administer the sacrament, and for some moments hopes were entertained of saving the Czar's life, but a minute or two afterwards his heart ceased to beat. During the final flicker of life, the mem bers of hi family surrounded his bed. The Arch Priest recited prayers for those in extremis, all present kneeling. The spectacle was heart rending. Colonel Dorjibisky is confined to his bed. but Is not seriously injured. 1 he number of persons in jured by the explosion?! greater than at firt 6upposeu. several nave since aiea. THE NEW F.MPEROR.

All were assembled when the Emperor and Emprc&s and Imperial family issued from the Cabinet where the dead Czar lay. Inpassing inrougn m. ueorge s nan, on tne way to the Chapel, the Emperor stopped before a guard of nonorana said with emotion: "I should not like my son to ascend the throne under such clr cumstances as at present." - WARNED. The Emperor, it seems, was warned asrainst at tending the parade Sunday. After alighting from his shattered carriage, the Emperor approached Rozsakoff and ordered his removal. The police had difficulty m protecting the secona assassin ironi tne lury ot tue crowd. HORRIBLE. One of the Czar's legs was shattered to the top of the thigh, the abdomen was torn open, and his face injured. The surgeons declared amputa tion impossible. ONLY ONE ASSASSIN ARRESTED.

Large crowds continue in front of the inter Palace. A funeral mass was celebrated before a densely packed congreganon. It is asserted that if the Czar had permitted himself to bo driven on in his carriage after the nrst explosion the catastrophe might have been averted. Yet, it is regarded as certain that more assailants were posted in different parts of the city. The Czar never took the same road for driving out or returning. Only at the moment of starting did a trusty orderly tell the coachman the route to take. The second person arrested proved by a responsible citizen to have been terrified by the explosion. He was quickly released. The Emperor's last words were "Sasha!" "Sash!" diminutive of Alexander. IMPORTANT APKLSTi. The authorities have made some important arrests.
