thorities had adopted certain measures for Sc

munication from the government, giving par
ticulars OF the agitation among students at
the academy of medicine and surgery,
caused by news from Charkov that
the lectures at that university were
temporarily suspended on account of some op-
position on the part of students to new regula-
tions. The agitation reached the climax the
18th inst, when the students deputed some of
their colleagues to explain to the rector that
the disturbances were due to the uncertainty
whether decision had been taken regarding
the petition presented to the czarowitch. If
in fact such decision has been taken they were
not made aware of its nature. The deputation
was further instructed to inform the rector
that the disturbances were partly owing to
arrests made the night of the 10th inst. The
project of st. Petersburg, who happened to be
with the rector told the students that their
action was illegal and advised them to disperse
The advice was not followed, and half a
squadron of gems d'armes were summoned and
l42 students were arrested and lodged in the
barracks of the life guards of the Moscow
| regiment.

preston of students and requesting the liberia
