ST. PETERSBURG, March 19.-The riot
ing which began here on Sunday and was
continued yesterday was renewed to-day.
Over loco students were arrested on Sunday
and Monday and a large number were
taken into custody to-day The rioting to-
day was serious. A crowd of demonstrators
gathered while solemn mass was being cele-
brated in the Cathedral of Our Lady Of
Kazan for the repose of the soul of NJ. Bo-
goiepoff, the minister OF public instruc-
ton, who was shot and fatally wounded
by Karpevich. The police fired their revolv
ers and il is rumored that five students
were killed and eighty others either Sc
riously or slightly injured. Wholesale ar
rests including many women. followed the
rioting. Three hundred arrests were made
on Monday The minister of justice was
fired at last week, and the life of another
minister has also been attempted.
The police of st. Petersburg have noti-
fled house owners TO have their divor-
niks, or house police, report for duty and
hold themselves in constant readiness. A
sotnia, or company of Cossacks, passed the
Moscow gate yesterday morning on their
way to Tsarskoe-Selo, seventeen miles
south of ST. Petersburg, where the Car has
would escort the Car back TO the winter
palace and that he would return by car
riage instead of by rail. 1t appears more
probable, however that the Cossacks were
merely sent to Tsarskoe-Selo as precau-
ton, since his Majesty is more easily pro-
tected there than here.
1t is apparently confirmed that three stu
dents were killed on Sunday. The Cossacks
rode into the crowds the sidewalk and
many faces were cut open by their knotted
whips. Students and workingmen threw
rubber shoes, canes and snowballs at the
Cossacks. 1t is reported that one Cossack
was killed. An official of the political po-
lice said a thousand prisoners were taken,
among them being $50 women students. The
presence of workingmen among the rioters
rendered this demonstration more danger
Gus than any known in generation. After
reading the manifesto the students threw
their crumpled copies into the crowd and
raised flag inscribed For Liberty!' The
students also shouted Help us get our
rights.' and the mob responded with
cheers.
The Official Messenger, which publishes
an account of the recent disorders in vari-
Gus Russian cities, and of Sundays out
break in st. Petersburg, says of the lat
ter: when the crowd, which numbered
three thousand, became turbulent, the Cos
sacks and police were summoned. The
demonstrators retreated TO the Cathedral
of Our Lady of Kazan, pelting the Co.'S
sacks and police with various missiles
The students attempted to display red and
white flags of various inscription On one
side of the cathedral the crowd came into
violent collision with the Cossacks and
