Qopex DoremUs. Tho resemblance between the char- acter of the infernal machines and of the Sevastopol mines, leads Professor Doremus to the natural supposition that the attempt 'upon the lives of Vanderbilt and Field was the work of @ Russian Nihilist, of whom there are a few in the city, and the supposition is s b{ tae _fact that among the debris of the exploded box were fragments of The Volks Zeitung, which is recognized as the local organ of the Nihilists as well as Socialists of New York. Postmaster Pearson was unable to make much progress to- day owing to. the absence of the mes- senger in whose charge the mail con- taining the infernal machines was sent up town and of the letter carrier who brought the Vanderbilt package to the general postoffice after one of his rounds of collection from the lamp post letter boxes. The case has beer: put in the hands of special service officers, and it is expected there will be some interesting developments to- morrow. . Superintendent Walling wasinclined totreatthe matterlightly and thiseven: ing said the whole affair has been too clumsily done to have meant réal busi- ness. He was inclined to believe it was done by socialists for the purpose of bringing their party into promi- nence again, and not,with the intent of killing any one. l']g to a late hour this evenlng no arrests had been made. New York, April 30,—There was considerable excitement among the socialists in this city to-day, 1n conse- quence of the captain of the police refusing to allow shem to parade to Williamsburg ferry, en route to laying the corner stone of the Froebel mon- ument in Williamsburg this afternoon in Williamsburg. Several delegations called upon Superintendent Walling yesterday, but he would not change his decision. The socialists then threatened to parade in defiance of the superintendent’s orders, Last night instructions were sent out to all police stations in the ity or- dering them to have their re- serves ready to march at & moment’s noticé, A large force was also detailed from police head- uarters ready for any emergency. %lflflul sections of socialists hel meetings at thewr diffarent halls dur- ing the forenoon, and the general opinion” seemed to prevail that it would be unwise for them to attempt to parade, as they would prubably get clubbed and mrrested. The report was forwarded to their headquarters in ‘the Gefmanis Wssembly rooms, Bowery, where nearly 500 socialiste had assembled. After some discus- slon it was decided to go o Williams- burg, but not in a body, and every- thing passed off quictly. Last night some one unknown ‘ur- left a cigar box filled with explosives in the vestibule on No. 318 East Nineteenth street, and about 10 o'clock there was a loud explosion, At the same time a flame rose several feot to the ceiling. Assistance was promptly on hand and the flames ex- tinguished. It is believed it was the work of socialists, who thought they had put the box in the superinten- dent's house. Walling resides at 311, same stress, The police are working on aclue and soon expect to make some arrests. e Marine Intelligence.
