Injured.
St. Petersburg , May 25. Though no
details of the assassination of Prince

the Impression her * Is thut the out
rage was the work of Armenian revo

the attitude taken by the prince dur
ing the racial war between Armenians
and Tartars In February last , and Is
not attributable to the Russian ter
rorists , even though the latter are a (
present extremely active In many

laid the rcsponslbllty for the deaths
of those slain In February at the door
of Prince Nakachldze. and only yea

nnd himself , his wife and parents
killed during the riots. In the sul
damages to the amount of $12.500
were claimed , It being maintained tha
the governor , Instead of performing-
bin duty by stopping the massacre
actually Incited the Tartars to attack
the Armenians. Prince Nakachldze
was popular among the Russian ele
ment In the Caucasus. He was a man
of high spirits and In spite of the
