Assassin Emits Over the Success of His Crime Liberals Are Joyful at the Awful Deed. -Described by an Eye- witness HaWas an Anarchist." Duke Sergius was assassinated here this afternoon by a bomb. I wit nessed the murder from the Krem- in. --.-J-'- - ; ,''';' I was walking along, admiring the vast Imperial Talace and the panorama of Moscow, which stretch ed away as far as the eye could reach. The great clock of the Kremlin was; striking 3 o'clock when I heard alterrific report. An immense sheet of flame at the same time rose about 500 meters (550 vardsl from me in . the middle of the vast avenue which separates the palace of justice from the arsenal in the midst of the flames I saw several black masses projected into j. a rn Vi me air ana iau in pieces r on toe ground. I ran as fast as I could in the direction of the fame. In an instance I reached r the en trance of the arsenal. - A .cloud of smoke was lifting and, scattered on the ground amid a heap of -debris, were pieces of a human body, smold ering besides pieces of wood "and broken glass. A. little further on men were stopping two horses, maddened and covered with blood, 1 which were dragging, alt that re mained of a 'carriage, a spring and two wheels that, were twisted, and broken. .- ; In a handsome' sleigh aT young and pretty woman had fainted, and around her a crowds attracted by was immediately recognized as the Grand Duchess Elizabeth Feodo- rovna, sister of the empress of Rus sia and wife of the Grand Duke Sargius. - - '"'-'' " The terrible truth wasv at -onc3 made clear to me. The., smoking human debris scattered around me was all-that remained- of -the grand duke. His head had been literally blown from his body and lay there, almost unrecognizable. - Soldiers who had rushed from the guard house, aided by generals and Dvor hike, began to gather ' up the re mains, a eoraon ot-troops was drawn or) before the Nicholas gate, v - This is w hat happened, as far as could be ascertained from the pre liminary inquiry: - ' As the lirand 11 ate serglas was driving to town in his coupe at .the usual hour a bomb was skillfully thrown under his carriage. His assassins followed exactly the same tactics as were adopted when Min ister de Plehve was murdered. The carriage, the grand duke and the coachman were-hurled in the 'air amid a column of flames. the body ot tQe grand dune was leterally stripped of its clothing by the force of the explosion and was reduced to nulp.; tThe coachman was hurled a distance of 15 yards against another carriage. Every window in the palace of justice and the arsenal for a distance of 250 yards was shattered. ; One of 4. e assassins, who had been wounded, was arrested on tbe'Bpot and' drag ged quickly into the arsenal. ' A stretcher ,, was brought, : on which the pieces of the grand duke's body were placed. ! They were cov ered with a coat lent by a general to hide the horrible sight. Precede ed and 'surrounded by soldiers with .fixed bayonets, the lugubrious pro cession started. Behind the blood stained stretcher, which .was bsrne by ' superior officers;- walked the' graad duchess, who .-:iiad ' been quickly restored to consciousness. She was enveloped in a, blue cloak. Her head was bare ' and she- was pale as death. A couple of officers supported her: SlowlyHhe cortege made its way to the Imperial Pal ace, where, amid impressive silence the" stretcher was put down. At the palace where the assassination, oc curred debris of all kinds were still being picked up ; V A few days ago the -grand duke went to live in the Imperial Palace in the Kremlin because .the police had declared that they were unable to guarantee his safety in his resi dence on the Tverskalia. The grand duchess had been warned not to go out in the , same carriage as the grand duke. Her sleigh was not touched by the bomb. C, 'j The crime. has caused a profound impression here, but it cannot be eaid to hae occasioned consterna tionThe grand duke had too many enemies. .' .

' The Grand Duke Ser gius.was a very honest man as. far as money matters were concerned. In "tlEiis respect he was always irre proachable, but for that' very .rea son jbe was exceedingly reactionary.

' "A few days ago a large hurnber of persons were arrested; a consid erable quantity of arms and ammu nition having been found in their posseseion. In one student s-home 450' revolvers were found.

I ask ed ii?iwiirtiref thctdeMitytHfch murderer was known. The Gener al replied that it was not. The man had refused to give his name merely saying that he belonged to an anarchist group and was glad that he had done his work so well. The murderer was not wounded, according to the general, ana was arrested by a detective detailed ' to escort the grand duke.- He wears the dress of a Morjjik and appears to be about 3O years of age. ihera is no change in the appear ance of Moscow tonight. - The streets are well filled and the night restaurants are as crowded as ever.

This, however, is not the only rea son for the decision not tb bring the remains to the capital. EvenGov ernoifcGeperal Trepoff has recog nized the fact that no precautions can furnish an absolute: guarantee of immunity against alh act of ter rorism, and at a. great state funeral where ancient custom requires that the emperor and all of the Roma noff family assemble and follow the coffin on foot, a single . bomb might wipe out the dynasty, , . Regard for the personal eatetv 01 the sovereign also has led to the de cision that the Emperor ' shall not go to Moscow to attend the funeral. It is possible that no member pt the imperial family will be present, ex cept those who are now . within the walls of trie Kremlin.. ... ; .

So grave is the danger or a repe tition of the Moscow tragedy that several of the' grand dukes have not stirred out of their, palaces since the murder, and instead of going to Tsarekoe-Selo to attend the requi em there, they have participated in special services held in the chapels of their own palaces. This wa the case as regards Grand Dukes Vla dimir and Alexis. A special requiem also was held in the Winter Palace, that Gover nor-General Trepoff might attend. General Trepoff is said to be under sentence by the fighting organiza tion of the socialrevolutionUts,and so far as can be ascertained has not left his quarters since the assassin ation of Grand Duke Sergius. Dis patches from the interior say thet requiems for the grand duke have been held throughout Russia. .The public is greatly concerned over the developments of the imme diate future. .
