THOUSAND PRISONERS TAKEN

ST. PETERSBURG, Monday, March L.
Alarm pervades high circles here. The
police have notified house owners to have
their dvinOrks or house police to report
for duty and hold themselves in constant
readiness. A sotnia or company of Cos
sacks. passed the Moscow gate this morn
ing on the way to Tsarkoe-Solo seven
teen miles south of st. Petersburg, whence
the car has just removed The police
said they would escort the car back to
the winter palace, and that he would re-
turn by carriage instead of by rail. 1t
appears more probable, however, that the
CoSSackS were merely going to Tsarkoe-
Selo as speculation, as his majesty Is
more easily protected there than here. 1t
is apparently confirmed that three stu
dents were killed yesterday. TLg Co.'S
sacks rode into the crowds on the side
walks and many faces were cut open by
their knotted whips. Students and work
ingmen threw rubber shoes, canes, stones
and snowballs at the Cossacks. 1t is re-
ported that one Cossack was killed.
MANY PRISONERS.
1t is reported one official of the politi-
cal police said 1000 prisoners were taken,
among them being $50 women students
The presence of workingmen among the
rioters rendered this demonstration more
dangerous than any known in genera
tion.
After reading the manifesto the students
threw their crumpled copies into the
crowd and raised a flag inscribed: For
Liberty" The students also shouted.
"Help US get our rights" and the mob
responded with cheers.
OFFICIAL ACCOUNT.
The Official Messenger, which prints an
account of the disorders in various Rus
sian cities and in St Petersburg Sunday,
says of the latter:
when the crowd which number 3,000
became turbulent, the Cossacks and po-
lice were summoned. The demonstrators
retreated to the Cathedral of Our Lady
of Kazan. pelting the Cossacks and 90
lice with varied missiles.
1.-THE students attempted to display red
and white flags, bearing various inscrip-
tons On one side of the cathedral the
crowd came into violent collision with
the Cossacks and police. A portion re-
tired into the cathedral, behaving noisily
and smoking cigarettes, although the
service was going on until forcibly eX-
PEELED.
Altogether 339 male students, ST wom-
ne, mostly students, and A other per-
sons were arrested. A police officer, 20 po-
licemen, 4 Cossacks and 80 rioters, male
and female, were wounded.
All the higher schools of the city are
closed and all the police headquarters
are filled with prisoners. Three hundred,
who are in custody and were confined in
the military riding school, were taken to
various prisons today. They were cheer

The demonstrations Sunday continued
after tho ARRAY at the cathedral at other
places, especially in front of the office Of
the director Of police while some per-
sons arrested were taken in front of the
LitovsFJ prison and near the mining in

the higher classes of society.
