and in such force that no effectual resist
ance could be offered by the Nihilists

weapons and fired several shots. ANON
the persons arrested were two civil en-
gineers we'll known to the authorities ant
connected with the Government Works;
number of medical students belonging t.
the University. and thirteen workmen
In the confusion attending the assault
many Of the persons present at the meetin
made their escape.
