A Cossnck and passer-by were killed on tho spot, Grand Duke Michael was wounded. An ofticer. of the escort and n Cossack huye since dled, ‘Tho Czar lingered an hour and o half, All efforts to rally him falled. The only word lie uttored after being struck was the name of the Czarowltz, The latter, on leaving tho palice after tho death of the Czar, wus hailea a8 Emperor by the crowd. 1lo was surrounded, contrary to his custom, by a strong mounted escort, The people ave in- tensely excited and indignant, The sol- diery, who greatly loved the Czar, ure furl- ons.

N AW Yo, .\Iun 14,—A London special gives the following story of the assnsination of the Czar: ‘The town was startled by the announcement that the Czar Alesander hiad Deen mortally wounnded by the exploston of o bomb thrown by assasing while he was out driving In the forencon. At first 1t was supposed the report was a eanard, for the mperor’s nssastnation has often been nnnouncerd nd us often denled sinee the Nihilists began to eompass his denth, Later on, however, entne news of is death, which was quiekly followed by a fuil neconnt of the tragedy. Lord Duferin, Britlsh Ambas- sndor at St. Petershurg, had meantlme in- formed the fzn Oflice of the affair, and his dispatehes were at once forwarded to the Queen, the Prinee of Wales, the Duke of Fdinburg. and other members of the Royal Tamty, THF, DUCITESS OF EDINBURG wag nt the Duke’s seat in Kent with her four children, Prayers were offered for the Duchess at the afterncon serviee In the churches, and Iu the evenliog spectal refer- ence was made to the murder from the pul- pits of the principal ehurches. - While there wny great excltement In Court and ofli- cinl clreles, ‘there was comparatively Iitle on the streets. The fact Is, the people had lopg expected ny much. Great sympathy I8 expressed by all ctasses for the Duchess of Edinhurg, whols in o delicate condition, The Itussian Em- bussy at Chesam Ilouse, Delgrave Square, was kept busy answering the questions of Russlan merchants and others who flocked there to hear the news, ‘The Embassy has no Information on tho subject beyoud an ofticial notiticatlon of the Czar's death and coples of reports which will be found bcluw SPECIAL SERVICHS were held in afl the Greek dmrchcq to- night.

The driver, who had drawn up, desenniled from s Lax, aud the Cossack escart, whicl was 'few pacesin the rear, at onco galloped.up,, At thig tiiie thero . werg NOT MORE THAN TWENTY I'ERSONS PRESENT. The Crar, on hearing the erash, at onee ralsed the window, opened the door, and_ Jumped out, and, while he wns drwing his fur clonk abont hint, 0 second bomb was thrown from a knot of lookers-on, exploding at his feet, The smokoe of the first explosion was still hang- ing about, and, when the second bomb struek the pavemunt, the dense clowd enveloped the cartinge, There was u howl of pain and angnish from tho Cossucks, some of whom wero killed, and more wounded by flying splinters, and threo or four of tho lookers-on fell ntso, This crash Lrought a squad of pollee, whio were just golng on duty at the Imperial stables, As the smoke lifted the Czar was seen lying on his back besido the wreek of the carringe, his legs torn and shat- tered, and blood pouring from GILASTLY WOUNDS IN HIS THIGIT, 1is clonk and wearing upparo | were liter- ally torn from his back, Io wns deathly pale, ana his eries to theofticers of the honse- hold for help were scarcely audible, Col.

Al this did not oeccupy thres minutes, As tho prisoner was thrown Into tho sted and driven off under strong guard, Col. Djorsbky’s slelgh, bearing the wounded Emperor and two or three attendants, drove rapldly through the streets to the Winter Paluce, where n mounted messenger had wreviously arrived with the news, By this time the story was known through the neigh- borhood of the palace, and asthe slelgh drovo through the mnin “gate people stood by un- covered, while hundreds and thousands flocked to TIE SCENE OF THE TRAGRDY. The alarm had been sounded In the wilitary und pollce barracks, and in a trico the gunrds onthe Winter Palace were doubled und the strects Jined with soldlery. The news soon reachied tho ehnrehes, and the congregutlons rushed Into the streets and mado for the puliee, whero squadvons of Cossacks and regular cavaley kept them ot bay, Gen.

A minute Iater and flags at half-mast and in- verted flags (old Russian enstom) were drooping from fingstaifs on the houses of the nobliity and gentry, and Court, Government, and municipal oficinls, and the long roll of kettle-drums was heard In every street, THE WILDEST EXCITEMENT prevalled In the nelghborhood of the valace, Lut the people on the streets, as n rule, re- celved the news in sullen silence.
