Eerensky Under . Arrest: Death List Enormous idihtinued from Pge One.) vA-iuiiv of the structure today. No-vh--re" else in the city except at the ; Iny institute where the pew gov , .imeiit has established headquarters and which was the scene of unusual activity for this reason, had the new revolution let its mark. Even the Winter palace carried no marks o last night's battle which a coat of paint and new window panes would not hide from casual observa tion. A close inspection of the river front facade was prevented by the sailor guards posted on the palace, but from the nearby palace bridge it could be plainly seen that theMieavy guns of the cruiser which bombarded the palace had done virtually no dam age. Bullet Holes in Windows. On the landside however, facing the circle from which rises the gigantic pillar of victory and which is flanked by the arc on which front the foreign office staff buildings there is plentiful evidence of the work done by the ma chine guns and rifles during the struggle.- The red walls are specked with white discs, marking tife hits. Scarcely a window pane is without its cleancut bullet holes. Throughout all of today the Palace circle and the surrounding streets were thronged with joking, laughing crowds. Usual Throngs of Populace. One Nevsky Prospect, where yes terday there were machine guns and armored cars and infantry behind wooded barricades, today were to be seen only the usual throngs of the ' populace and there was no excitement among them. Soldiers, grave but cheerful were assuming control of various districts. They sat in barracks at. the commit tee room listening to complaints and issuing passes. The fusillades of rifles and the clattering of machine guns, with the occasional boom. of cannon from the fortress or a cruiser which had continued from early last night, until the palace surrendered had been supplanted by the laughter and shouts of school boys dismissed from classes and playing in the Plazas. The congress of soldiers and work men's delegates today appealed to the Russian army to stand firm and to protect the revolution against imperi alistic attempts until the new govern ment had obtained a democratic peace. Palace Takes Offensive. "The fortress of St. Peter and St. Paul did not take aggressive steps against the provisional government until, fire was opened on the fortress from the winter palace," said a lieu tenant at the fortress. "This was about 8 o'clock in the evening. No harm was done us, but the bullets whizzed past the outer works of the fortress.. - - "We gave one short volley from a machine gun in the direction of the palace. As the firing continued, sail ors from the cruisers placed guns on the shore and fired three rounds of shrapnel into the air above the palace. After the shooting from the palace stopped, the commander of the Pre obrajensky regiment telephoned the fortress to cease firing, as the palace wished to surrender, and desired to know the conditions." Must Give Up Arms. "The answer was given," continued the lieutenant, "that the conditions were surrender and the giving up of arms. At 10 o'clock in the evening, however, the palace fired on the bat tery of sailors on the shore. The sailors in answer sent severa shots against the walls of the palace. The fortress was only on the defensive throughout. It made no offensive move. ' The lieutenant said the Woman s battalion was among the defenders of the palace, but surrendered before the battle began. Prepare for New Attack. The correspondent was received at the fortress in a small room filled with soldiers who, with the com mander were transacting affairs in a business-Jike manner. The armored cars which took part in last night's battle were being overhauled by me chanics and made ready to fight again if necessary. Minister in Confinement Regarding the treatment of the cabinet ministers who were arrested at the Winter palace after the sur render, the commissioner at the fortress of St Peter and St. Paul said: "All the cabinet ministers under ar rest are in solitary confvenment in the Troubetsky bastion. They may re ceive letters and papers and any kind of literature. They are allowed to write letters but will not be allowed to see anyone until the inquiry has taken place. They are permitted to have their own clothing and every thing belonging to them except their weapons. They are provided with good food. The Troubetsky bastion is one of the towers inside the walls of the fortress. Busy Scene at Headquarters. London, Nov. .9. Scenes in and abput the Smolny institute, the head quarters of the workmen's and sol diers' organization in Petrograd, and of the revolutionary committee, are described in a Reuter dispatch dated Thursday at the Russian capital, as follows: "The Smolny institute presents a scene of extraordinary animation. There is a perpetual coming and go ing of representatives from the prov inces participating in the congress, delegates on the way to convey or ders to the soldiers, sailors and militia and the Red Guard. A strong armed guard occupies the interior and sur rounds the building, while several ar mored motor cars bearing anti-aircraft guns are stationed in adjacent streets to insure protection to the headquarters. "The gardens around the institute are filled with motor cars with which to carry the delegates around the town. Nicolai Lenine, accompanied by his lieutenant, Zinovieff, received an enthusiastic reception on his ar rival. They were scarcely recog nized, Lenine having shaved off his moustache and Zinovieff having grown a beard. "From the institute the revolution ary committee is issuing order after order for the occupation of railway stations and government institutions. The orders are promptly obeyed by the troops and the Red Guard. De tachments of sailors are arriving from Kronstadt, while a cruiser and two torpedo boats are anchored in the river near the Nicholas bridge." Paris, Nov. 9. "Those who thought the Russian revolution had been fin ished made a mistake," said M. Mak lakof, the Russian ambassador, in an interview which appears in the Petit Tarisieii. "Alas, now the blood of our "people will flow again in the streets of Petrograd. "But, however sad may be the ad vent to power of the Maximalists, it can be only a momentary success. In my opinion it is the supreme effort of the Maximalists. This desperate at tempt, this daring stroke, can be only the signal for their downfall and organization of the revolution in a national and patriotic sense, which is bound to assure victory against ene mies both within and without. "Russia as a whole is about to rally around a national government and form for it a rampart of flesh and blood. A radical surgical operation was perhaps necessary after the mis understanding caused by General Korniloff's move, in order to assure the salvation of immortal Russia." London, Nov. 9. Reuters corres pondent at Petrograd says a telegram from Katian announces that the Gen eral Arhipoff, commander of the troops has been arrested and that, the military cadets with their ar mored cars have surrendered to the revolutionists. London, Nov. 9. A meeting of the allied representatives in Petrograd was held at the British embassy where measures to ensure the safety of their nationals were discussed says a Reuter dispatch from Petrograd to day. Stella Resident Lost on Torpedoed Ship Antilles Stella, Neb., Nov. 9. (Special.) John W. Hunt of Mountain Grove, Mo., who did fanu work here two years ago for John Coons, was one of the seamen who went down when a boat from the torpedoed transport Antilles was sunk.

Militants Forced Too Eat too Much In Jail is Claim Washington, Nov. 9. The hunger strike of woman's party militants in the jail here has resolved itself into a dispute over whether the women were fed forcibly or whether they took food willingly. Today woman's party headquarters announced Alice Paul, the leader, had been forcibly fed three times since yesterday afternoon and that Rose Winslow, her companion, had been forcibly fed twice. Feeding Miss Paul three times in a little more than 12 hours, the leaders contended, was un necessary and inhuman. Superintendent Zinkham of the jail freely admitted that Miss Paul had been fed three times, but denied that it had been done forcibly. "There was no forced feeding," said Dr. J. A. Gannon, the jail physician. 'These women took the food without resistance and merely want to adver tise themselves by saying they have been fed forcibly. Miss Paul s con dition is not critical; it is not even se rious. She is doing well." Woman's party headquarters, how ever, declared that Miss Paul will die if the jail authorities continue to feed her "forcibly."
