While Verlgln and Kurloff were at
Kiev, on the eve of the emperor's visit.
Dmitry Bogroff waa consulted and given
the responsible position of guarding the
premier, as he promised to track sup
positious terrorists, Nina Alexandrovna
and Nicholas Jecovllvlch. It Is incom
prehensible to those engaged In the in

Arrests Tsnracsott Rnesln. .
Many alleged accomplices have been
traced to the revolutionary side and a
vast number of arrests are being made
throughout Russia. The police have been
searching In vmin In St. Petersburg for a
terrorist bearing the nick name of "Her

made cf the rooms of the correspondent
of a London newspaper and his borthar

It waa reported that Bogreffs father

has been transferred . to the fortress.
Bogroff s uncle, a physician, ha been ar

Eighty men and thirty women, pro
