men who otherwise would soon be forced
back Into the shops .or starve, have re
ceived assurances of financial support from
the sources which hitherto have furnished
the sinews of war to the liberal and revo
lutionary agitation, but have not before
been In touch with the labor movement.
If the strike become generul all over
Russia, and especially If the. railroads are

Quiet In the Morning.
(12:43 p. m) The military had complete
possession ol the city this morning and
q'llet prevailed In all sections.
After the last volleys In the Vn'sslll Os
troff quarter at midnight the men aban
doned the few barricades which they held
until that hour and retired. The word was
passed around by tho leaders to remain
quiet for the present.
During the night a fine, damp snow fell,
covering tho ugly red stains and obliterat
ing all traces of the conflict of yesterday,
and with break of dayth city, except for
tho presence of troops In the streets, had
resumed its normal appearance. The shops
had reopened and genera! traffic was par
tially resumed. The men appeared at work
In everar ef'th mills aid factories, 'in

Why We Recommend Skinner's
Satin tor Lining.
The world Is filled with ordinary lining
satins these days. We never scH inferior
linings. With us. If would be poor policy.
The "shoddy" would be discovered In
short time and the Injury to our reputation
would merfh far more to us than the small
money loss would mean to you. Hence,
we recommend Skinner's lining satins.
They are all high grade, and will give per
fect satisfaction. W specially recom

ent of the Associated Press showed that a
cordon of troops barred the entrance of the
city from the big industrial sections. Th
bridge were still held by the guards regi
ments. It being rather strange to see the
officers of "the Imperial guards, the pets of
the St. Petersburg drawing rooms, riding
thoroughbreds and doing police duty In the
streets around the winter palace. There
was no' trace of excitement. The big
square, which yesterday was filled with
troops, was empty, but Inside the palac
court, beyond the sight of the passersby,
a regiment of dragoons and several com-,
panics of Infantry were quartered.
The authorities have advleted the factory
owners not to admit the men, as they had
stolen a lot of dynamite bombs and might
destroy property.
Sear eh for Father Gopna.
Rumors were current that the strikers
proposed to proclaim a general attack on
property and a reign of anarely, but the
labor leaders denied, this in tho most vig
orous tcrrr. On of Father Oopon' lieu
tenants declared that the leaders of the
strikers had resolved to preach the gospel
of armed resistance and the overthrow of
autocracy, 'but In that It did hot carry
with it a threat of pillage or an attack on
property. The'poHce hav not "yet been
able to locate Father' Gopon, though, they
are searching for him everywhere. . His
whereabouts is known to only half a dozen
trusted lieutenants, through whom he is
sues orders.
No newspapers have appeared since Fri
day except the Official Messenger, con
taining the government decrees, which is
printed under military protection at the
office of the State bank, where the bank
notes ar Issued. Official accounts of yes
terday' affair was posted on all the bulle
tin boards. Strikers who came to read
spat upon them.
Soldiers Control Situation.
It Is reported that one of the meetings
In the early hours this morning some of
the strike leaders discussed the advisability
of sending delegations to the various em
bassies to appeal to the foreign powers for
protection, but no action was taken, at
least no deputations had appeared at any
of the embassies up to noon.
Police Keeping People Moving;.
1:55 p. in. As the day 'advanced the
crowds on Nevsky Prospect Increased, but
the police did not allow them to collect
Squadrons of Cossacks' with lances and
carbines patrolled the thorough far as a
reminder of what would happen at the
least disturbance. Half a regiment of In
fantry stacked arms ana lematned on duty
on the Morskaia, a fashionable boulevard
of the city, and at nooii troops were again
marched intv the palace square, where
people were once- more .trying to collect.
All the grand dukes' palaces were strongly
guarded. .L. . .
St. Petersburg ha often witnessed riot
ing, clearing the streets of demonstrators
and Cossack charges with whip and sa
bers, but the bloodshed of yesterday 1 un
paralleled In Its history,' and the many
stories of brutality told by the populace
seem to have convinced them that a pro
gram of deliberate blood letting was
planned to overawe th striker. This Is
most Indignantly denied by the authorities,
who protest most earnestly that they r.
gret that the situation compelled such stern
measures. They say order had to be re
stored or the city would have fallen Into
the hands of the mob.
Officials Fear Fires.
The sale of petroleum ha been forbidden
by ttui police to prevent the possibility of
the striker attempting to destroy the city
by fire.
The troop received their noon meal In th
streets, steaming camp kitchens . being
driven from place to place.
An Instance of the perfect military man
agement occurred ahortly after 1 o'clock
today, when there was ft disturbance on
the palace bridge. A bugle. rang out and
in less than Ave minutes squadrons of
cavalry emerged front neighboring streets
at th gallop, charging to 4 he point of
alarm. But th few obstreperous, half
drunken striker had already been over
powered, placed in sleighs and taken to
Jail,
Striker Enter City Singly,
Th troops, most of which had been with
drawn from th street In th center of the
city during the night, were reported during
the forenoon to hav assembled in consid
erable strength at the principal point.
Trafflo across the bridges and the usual
path over the Ice was interrupted.
Street cars. Including the electrto line,
were running over th . frozen Neva,
ledge as well as heavy Vehicle were cir
culating freely. Th strikers, apparently
finding It Impossible to reach the center of
the city In organised masses, ware enter
ing It singly or In small groups, traversing
th streets sullenly without stopping, to
converse or look at- the windows, ss has
been their custom. Many of th principal
shops are closed. Those which are kept
open Keep up meir window gratings.

streets, squads it Infantry are posted at

' Estimate. Da Vary.
1 ' -
dead and wounded yesterday continue to
rary greatly, as at least a majority of the
killed or wounded were carried off by their
comrades. Few of tho taken to the hos
pital have been reported. The official ac
count of the rioting by no means Indicate
the total killed nd wounded. From care
ful Investigation by the staff of the Asso
ciated Press It appears that the estimate
of 5i0 cabled last night seems liberal. There
were forty-seven killed and fifty-four
wounded at the Putlloff works, where the
greatest casualties occurred, about sixty In
the Alexander gardens, fifteen In the Molka
district, forty-five In the Vasslloetroft dis
trict and the remainder at various other
point.
Factory District Deserted.
The factory and mill districts of the city
were practically deserted today. The
striker had no plans for demonstrations
and no special meeting points had been ar
ranged. Towards S o'clock, driving up the Nevsky
prospect, the Associated Press corre
spondent saw through the gathering gloom
the blaze of camp fires in the palac
square, with the dark forms of troopers
sitting around them.
The Nevsky prospect Itself was ablase
with light. Strikers and curiosity seeker
promenaded the two miles of sidewalk be
tween the Admiralty and Nicholas station
and squadrons of Hussars and Culrrassler
rod up and down In endless procession.
The crowd seemed peaceful enough, the
watchword evidently being "Don't abuse
the troops." The only shouts heard were
ft few Isolated hurrahs. Suddenly the elee
trie lights In the upper section, between
the baxar called Gostlnny Dvor and the
Nicholas station, were extinguished, and
the thoroughfare was plunged without
warning Into utter darkness, which wa
not relieved. even by lights In shop win
dows, as all the stores were closed. The
scene was weird and fearful. The drive
at first refused to move on, fearing some
hidden danger, but he finally was per
suaded to proceed, exclaiming with Rus
sian stoicism: "One can die only once."
Crowd la Silent.
A deathly silence prevailed, being height
ened by the rustle of hundreds of feet on
the snowclad sidewalks, the muffled tread
of looming squadrons and the lugubrious
hammering of shop keepers taking pre
cautions against poslble attack by board
ing up the windows of their stores wltn
rough lumber. The curious hastily scurrlea
into adjoining streets, finding their way
home as best they could through the Inky
darkness. Only a fringe of sullen striker
and rough characters remained, the police
warning all to get home as soon as possi
ble. The' only bright spot was a blase of
light from the court yard of the Annltch
knff palace, whence the empress dowagei
fled yesterday to the Tserskoe Seloe. Be
yond stood the dark, grim palace of Grand
Duke Serglus.
The crowd was particularly dense around
the approaches to the Nicholas station.
Here, In the darkness, marauders at
tacked a few news venders' stalls, but a
grim row of Infantry around the station
buildings effectually discouraged violence.
Other disturbers 'broke numerous windows
In the Gastlnny Dvor and the Klork at
the corner of the Annltchkoff palac gar
den. A bench torn up from the adjoining
park was placed In the roadway In the
hope thnt it might trip up cnvalrj'- Some
policemen were roughly handled and dis
armed In side streets, but there was no
firing.
As the Associated Press correspondent
drovo down the Nevsky prospect troopers
were clearing the sidewalks of loiterers,
using the flats of their sabres and causing
a general stampede. This continued until
9 o'clock at night, when the lights were
again turned on and revealed the Nevsky
prospect almost deserted.
Vatican la Kxelted.
ROME, Jan. 2.1. Reports received at the
Vatican from Russia say that notwith
standing the efforts of their bishops, the
Catholics are excited and it Is Impossible
to keep them from participating In popular
movements, especially In Poland, where
even part of the lower clergy have joined
the people.
The pope was most distressed at the news
contained In the latest dispatches commu
nicated w him by papal Secretary Merry
Del Val and expressed the hope that the
Internal situation in Russia was not o
black as depicted.
' ' Opinion of Germany,
BERLIN, Jan. 2S.-Emperor William and
the members of his entourage sat up late
last night receiving press and private tele
grams from St. Petersburg. The keenest
Interest prevails here, where Russia Is
probably better understood than Elsewhere,
because of geographical nearness and close
business relationship. While the outbreak
Is looked upon as one which proceded from
the hearts of the people, the Foreign office
does not l.wleve that It presages a revolu
tion, because It lacks efficient leadership
and Is without adequate support among
the bulk of the population throughout the
empire. , ,
Government control of the telegraph line
and railroads makes co-operation of the
discontented Impossible. At the time of
the French revolution a man could walk
from Bordeaux to Paris, but no one can
walk rom Odessa to St. Petersburg and
partake of the events there. The official
view Is that although any friend of Russia
must be sorrowful over the Internal situa
tion, the Russian government dare not
drop the reins or the horses will run away.
The government to avoid anarchy must
act atringently.

details of yesterday' fighting. M. Bu

he was an eye witness of a fight In the
Vassalllostroff district. The soldiers, he
said, fired volley after volley and then
used their bayonets. He saw a hundred

OFFICIAL STATEMENT OF TROl'BLB
Story of Sander's Disorder a Told
hy Russian Government.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. is. Tne etory
of the events Immediately preceding and
during yesterday outbreak a viewed by
official eye 1 given In the Official Messen
ger as follow:
All attempts of the factory Inspectors to
pacify the workmen were fruitless snd
every worker from a number of the large
factories joined the strike, which spread
qplckly and extended to nearly all the
works In the city. At the same time the
demands of the men Increased and these
were formulated In writing, mostly by
Father Gopon. The employer discussed
the demands and" decided that If some of
them were satisfied It could not fall to
ruin Industry, while others deserved to be
examined and partially conceded. Fur
thermore, willingness was expressed to
negotiate with the men, but not with the
strikers' organisation. The workmen re
fused to agree to It and violated the nego
tiations between the masters and men of
the different factories. As the strike was
being conducted without disturbance of
public order no repressive measures were
adopted and not a single person was -arrested.
Revolutionists Join Strikers.
The agitation of the workmen's associa
tions was, however, soon joined by the
agitation of revolutionary circles. On the
morning of January 21 the workmen's as
sociation, lea by Father Gopo.i, appeared
with' open revolutionary tendencies. On
Sunday Father Gopon drew up jn petition
of workmen, to the emperor, which con
tained, besides demands on behalf of the
men, insolent demands of a political
character. Among the workmen verbal and
written notifications were circulated urg
ing tho necessity for a meeting January 22
on the palace square, In order,' through
Father Gopon, to submit the petition to
the emperur. One of the demands was of
a political character' and the real purpose
of the meeting on the palace square was
concealed from the workmen. Fanatical
speeches, which Father Uopon. forgetting
his clerical 'dignity, adaressed to the men
and criminal agitation, excited the men to
such an extent that on .January 22 large
crowds proceeded to the center of the city.
Where People Were Killed.
At some points bldjdv collisions occurred
between, them and 1 the' troops in conse
quence of their refusal to obey the police
regulations,, or . owiug to their, direct at
tacks on the troops. The latter were obli
gated to file in the Schlusselherg causeway,
near the Narva Triumphal gate. In Troltjki
square, and In the fourth line, on the Vas
silioHlroft quarter, in the Alexander Gar
dens, -at the corner of Nevsky prospect and
Uogol street, near the police bridge, and at
the Kazan cathedral. In the fourth line
the populace erected three barricades of
planks and wire. On one of these a red
flag was hoisted. From the windows of
neighboring houses -shots were fired and
stones were thrown at the military. The
crowd took swords from the policemen
and armed them"e!ves therewith. They
pillaged the Schalt maii arms factory and
carried off about a nunarea tworan. a IarKU
number of which, however, the police re
covered. The crowd destroyed telegraph
wires and knocked down poles. The. munici
pal buikllng in the Second dlstriet was at
tacked and demolished. In the evening five
simps on the St. Petersburg side were
plundered.

Count Casslnl Give Ills Opinion of
the Itoaslan Troubles.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. Count Cansinl,
the Russian ambassador, has had no official
information from St. Petersburg about the
riot there, but in a conversation tonight
with a correspondent of the Associated
Press the ambassador, after reading the
dispatches, said: .
Human life I sacred the world over and
nowhere more so thuu in Rusia, but it
should be remembered that the public peace
is of predominating importance and vigor
ous measures are sometimes necessary to
preserve order. This la the situation in
the Russian capital.
There Is a great Industrial strike In prog
ress. Because their demands have not been
forthwith granted the strikers, as strikers
In every country have done, have endeav
ored to storm the emperor's own palace in
tne t-rrort to gain an auaience wun nis
majesty. The troops ordered them to stop
outside the gates and the crowds refused.
The troops then fired a volley of blank
cartridges, and on came the crowd. There
was only one thing else to be done, to
fire with ball cartridges. That stopped the
strikers and they flea In every direction.
There is a great deal of difference be
tween a riot and a revolution and Amer
icans will make a great mistake If they
infer from the unfortunate stories of the
dlsturbunces In the Russian capital that
the demonstration Is revolutionary or hos
tile to the emperor. The respect or the
people for their sovereign Is not wiped out
by the cries of a few street brawlers. It
will be found when public order has been
restored that the traditional and ancient
affection of the Russian people for their
emperor still abides.
For when violence na oeen suppressed
and order restored the strikers through
tlo, proper channels will be given a hear
ing; their demands will be considered and
all that with tustlce and exuedlencv can
be done In their behalf will be forthcoming.

try appreciates thfs more, perhaps, than
the united mate, and nowhere would an
attack on the home of the country's ruler
be repelled more quickly than In your own.
you nave asKea me ror a wora or com
ment upon the press dispatches for as
yet you know I hav had no official ad
vices. I can only say that it is an un
fortunate condition of affairs which I hope
will be relieved. The demonstrations are
not against the war; there is no revolu
tion in Russia, nor will there 'be.
ALARMING STORIES FROM RUSSIA
London and Pari Receive) Many and
Divers Reports,
LONDON, Jan. 84.-8pecial dispatches
from Russia to the London papers today
again bristle with sensational statements.
For instance, the correspondent at Klsff
of th Express asserts that . the naval
depot at Sevastopol hav been destroyed
by a revolutionary outbreak of the sailors
of the Black sea fleet, whose live have
been rendered unbearable by overwork and
robbery by corrupt officials, and give cir
cumstantial detail of 8,000 of these men
rising and attacking their officer and firing
and destroying th buildings, while the
troop (according to the story) which were
summoned to quell th revolt refused to
fir at aM or fired In th air. Other dis
patches report soldier killed by bomb
throwing, raiding of government rifle fac
tories, etc., none of which can b confirmed
in any responsible quarter.
PARIS, Jan. 14. The newspapers her to-
dar ax not dUpue4 t jal Riwrtaa
official report of tho casualties Incident to
the conflicts between the soldiers and peo
ple of St. Petersburg on Sunday. Special
correspondents at St. Petersburg report
that they experience difficulty In telegraph
ing or confirming the news, owing to the
police orders that no one must go Into the
streets. An Instance of the wild rumors
afloat In the Russian capital I shown by
the story telegraphed to the Petit Journal
here that 60,000 armed strikers marched on
the city marine barracks, surrounded the
troops and that It Is believed the men sta
tioned there mutinied. Another correspond

have gone on board the royal yacht Stand

Former Consul General Talk On
Russian Situation.
CINCANNATI. O., Jan. 23 -No Immediate
good results from the troubles In St. Pet
ersburg are anticipated by Dr. J. M. Craw
ford of this city, former consul gePnrnl at
St. Petersburg,-who Is watching with deep
Interest the developments in the Russian
capital. "No Immediate and direct good
will ensue from this upheaval of the Rus
sian worklngman," said Mr. Crawford.
Their demand to see the emperor and
make their complaints to him personnaly
Is considered preposterous by the Russian
bureaucracy. The soldiery will mow down
the workmen when they gete violent and
thus directly the peasants and laborers
will only be harmed by the Insurrection.
But Indirectly their cause will be helped.
Their complaints will probably bring to
the light their sorry condition and gain for
them some consideration. Considering
their pitiful lot, the Russian laborers are
singularly contented beings, but when they
are finally aroused, their violence equals
their former complacency.
"There are no secret societies allowed In
Russia. No lodges nor labor unions as we
understand them. The men are never per
mitted to organize and hold secret ses
sions. But they have Inblbed some of the
spirit of the American and the German
strikers and have had a right to desire to
Improve their lot. The emperor Is not
only the head of the stale; he Is also their
pope, the head of their church. The peas
ants and workmen generally look to him,
not In the spirit of revenge, but with
humble prayers on their lips. He no
doubt feels tome sympathy for those un
forunates, but It Is ridiculous to Imagine
that he would meet a mob of lOO.ono work
men. Although most of them revere him.
It would only require one wild-eyed anar
chist In the mob to end the czar's life.
The danger would be too great. President
Roosevelt is the only ruler in the world
who would be courageous enough to face
such a delegation. The strikers cannot
succeed In Russia. The soldiery will obey
orders and the military is more powerful
than the strikers. There will be no French
revolution. Even though the czar desired
to make certain concessions, the bureauc
racy of powerful men around him would
restrain him."

upon and declared to be unprecedentrtd.
The St. Petersburg occurrences were callea
"A full-Hedged revolution,'" "A day of ter
ror" and "Hloody Sunday."
The feeling prevails in antl-ltusslan quar
ters that open revolution has begun and
that there Is no telling where It will en.
Diplomatic circles here are deeply con
cerned over the St. Petersburg news. It
is believed, however, that the present dis
order will soon be put down by the troop
now In St. Petersburg.
All the newspapers comment on the oc
currences in St. Petersburg as extremely
serious and deeply slRiilliciint. and th
movement of the people of fit. Petersburg
toward tho Winter palace Is compared to
the march of the people of Paris on
ualllcs in ITSft. It Is declared the empror
answering the people's petition with th
bullets and sabres of its soldiers will
Irretrievably widen the breach between him
and his subjects.
The newspapers also publish sketches of
the lives of Emperor Nicholas, Frithel
Gopon and many of the higher Russian
officials with considerable length.
