More over, reports are current that the work 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 drawn in, Jt might Immediately force the nation to make peace with Japan. The situation appear' grave from every standpoint, but the, authorities, although nrlarei..ly somewhat: bewildered, declare their purpose to Hand firm, maintaining tliat It In their tlrst duty to preserve order. There are extremely significant reports tinlght that Emperor NIcholiiH, In making the decision at the extraordinary meeting of the council of the empire at the Tsar ko Sekic today 'to declare St. Petersburg In a state of siege, announced that lie had resolved to issue a manifesto to the people with a view to culmlng them, promising to create a mixed commission of ' workmen n nd officials to Investigate and decide the liiestlons of the demands of the strikers. According to report tlio emperor will also promise to Investigate yesterday's events .11 St. Petersburg- , The mllltiiry' everywhere had a firm grip on tho situation, and every precaution was taken, such as forbidding the sale of. pe troleum and warning people to renin in lu doors. 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 cluding th works of the Russian Westing house company, ' but the managers In a Majority 0f. cases told the men. to remain wny fni1' few 'days and that In' thn strikers, tooklng wcury, and riaggard after meantlmtrtticy would receive- their pay.

Hence, we recommend Skinner's lining satins. They are all high grade, and will give per fect satisfaction. W specially recom mend them. Pric U-50 per yard. 96 Inches wide. 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. A strong force of cavalry I patrolling th streets, squads it Infantry are posted at he corners and pubMc anxiety la aoute.' . ' 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. Situation In France. PARIS, Jan. 23.

Dispatches from Marseilles announce that the presence there of a number of revolu tionist and anarchist ha been reported to the English embassy here. Special dispatches from St. Petersburg to the Paris newspapers gave supplementary details of yesterday' fighting. M. Bu sancy telegraph to the Petit Journal that 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 strikers lying on the ground there. Other French eye witnesses declare they saw women and children among those who were shot down. One child of 8 was terri bly disfigured by a rush of soldier. The Official report are meager. The Temp publishes a dispatch from 8t.

Jan. 28,-Nothlng I known here of the report from Constantinople which has reached Captain Cullen of the Imperial Marine association of Tokto, now at Victoria, B. C, to the effect that 1.600 Circassians have revolted and killed the Russian guard at Slavlnl In the Caucusa and that Russlana and Turks In large num bers are crossing the frontier Into the Caucasus to spread revolution Into Tlflls province, the capital of which. Tlflls, Is alleged to be In a state of siege. The gazetteers available do not mention a Slavlnl In the Caucasus or elsewhere. Court Suspend Sittings. BT. PETERSBURG, Jan. 23.-The fourth civil department of the court of justice has suspended Its sittings owing to tho lawyers refusing to practice. 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. IlIOT, BIT HOT HKVOL,lTIO. 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. strike occur in every country. no coun 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 ent says Emperor Nicholas Is reported to have gone on board the royal yacht Stand art. Paris socialist papers are organising fun for the assistance of the strikers of St. Petersburg. SEES 0 CIIASCK FOR SI C E9 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." RISSIA NEWS STARTLES VIENXA Movet-ent at St. ' IVtorxbnr Com pared to 'Unit, VIENNA, Jan. 23. The occurrences of Sunday in St. Petersburg have made the deepest Impression here upon nil classes.. This morning the papers published extra editions with black headlines, most of them reading: "Revolution, has broken out in St. Petersburg." This afternoon news papers print page after page of St. Peters burg dispatches, practically excluding ull Other news. The lack of a repressive cei.. sorst.ip In Russia and the fact that tho whole story apparently was telegraphed from St. Petersburg were much conimenU-a 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. RISSIAN PAPERS DEFY C'KXNORNIIIP Announce They Will Print the Kens at Whatever Coat. ST. PETERSBURG. Jan. 23. The editors of four newspapers, the'Russ, the Vledo mostl, the Novostl and the Grivshdnnln, declare their lntentlon4 as soon ns the printers return to work and they nre able to resume publication, openly to defy the censorship In the matter of strike news and Sunday's affairs. They drew up a letter to the censor today saying they felt the gravity of the Bltuutlon demanded that they print the facts without minimising and glossing them over. The Novoe Vremya and other papers refused to join and the letter was not sent, but the editors of the four papers named agreed to adopt the course named. It Is understood a number of mills and factories will start up' tomorrow. Some of the Industrial factors believe the worst is over. Father Gopon' message to hi followers tonight was: "Th czar doe not exist; no longer pray for liberty." REICHSTAG DISCISSH STRIKE Ministry Deprecates Legislative Ac tion at Present. BERLIN.

Baron Seyl Von Herreshelm (national liberal) a leading manufacturer of the city of Worms, who usually la regarded by th socialist as on of th stoutest opponents of th laboring classes, surprised the Reich stag by expressing the fullest ympathy with th trtker.
