ANOTHER VICTIM
GRAND DUKE SERGIUS KILL
ED WITH A BOMB AND
TORN TO PIECES.
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. .' . '
A-yamor is current that this mur
der is the first of a long series which
has been planned. Fourteen names
are on the liet, it is Eaid, the second

".fbe efiect of this attack "; he
(said ,is good for
the triumph of
bur fdeas. ' 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.
When he had .abdicated his ' func
tion? as governor-general, his1 in
fluence increased still morevWhen
he left and the-civil governor bade!
hirnvJarewell, the grand- duke eaid:
"fNot farewejl, but au revoir, for I
I shall return - among you He
hoped to. reoccupy his old position,
veslisd with still .greater powers.
His.jassaBsination will be approved
by ailltasfcia. ' -It was decided upon
aftef the shootings which occurred
recently in the streets of Moscow. '
"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. We
wanted to bring about a revolutioa
and, we are arming the people .
.' As to the governments meas'-
ureicf re'traesioh. they are oEilittle
effidendy and will not stop the ad-
vanpe;' ; ' -:
I called this evening upon Gen
eral' Volkoff, ' prefect of : Moscow,
who, in spite of the lateness of the
hon ji received - ; me with
the greatest cordialitv. 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.
A dood deal more concern is ex
pressed in regard to the fate that
awaits the assassin than regarding
the tragical end of his victim

-Skietersburgi'FebO.i-It has
been definitely, decided that the re
mains of Grand Duke Sergius , will
not be brought to St. Petersburg for
the present, but will be placed in a
temporary receiving vault - of tbe
cloister of the Caudoff Monastery
to await the completion of altera-.
tiohs now in progress in the Roma
noff mausoleum, in the ' fortress of

of lack of spaoa in the- mausoleum

er memberB of ,the. imperial family.
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.. ... ; .
Grand Dukes Constantine and
j Paul nrobablv will reDresetft Mhe
emperor at xne service. vuuBtau-
tine is . personally ' popular, never
having participated in the politics
of the court, preferring to devote
himself to the sciences and the arts
and to his workas the head of the
military academy.
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
