RIOT IN RUSSIA
DEMAND NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.
Fierce Mob is Charged by Mounted Po-
lice and Many Wounded-Rioters
Want the Ward Ended.

ST. Petersburg, Dec, ia popular
anti-government demonstration, the
participants of which included large
numbers of students of both sexes, be-
gan at midday in the Nevsky Prospect
and lasted about two hours.
Hundreds of police and mounted
gendarmes We're hidden in the court
yard of the public buildings and
emerged suddenly and charged the
crowd at full gallop, driving the dem
onstrators in headlong confusion and
screaming with terror upon sidewalks
and into adjacent streets. This led to
serious encounters, fifty persons being
more or less severely injured. Large
numbers were arrested.
Not since the riots Of 1901, when Cos
sacks stretched across the Nevski
Prospect from building to building
charged down the boulevard from the
Moscow station to the Neva. has the
Russian capitol lived through such a
day of excitement as this.
The authorities last night got wind
of the big anti-government demonstra-
tion planned for to-day by the Social
Democratic Labor party to demand an
immediate end of the war and the con-
vocation of a national assembly, and
in leading every paper this morning
in black-faced type was an explicit
warning to the people at their peril to
desist from congregating in the Nevski
Prospect near the Kazan cathedral. At
the same time extensive preparations
We're made to quell any disturbance.
Toward l o'clock the workmen and
students seemed to swarm toward the
corner of the Hotel Europe, opposite
Kazan cathedral. The police, recogniz-
ing that the critical moment was ap-
preaching, tried in vain to keep back
the human tide. Then, when there was
not single mounted policeman in
sight, on the stroke of one, from the
heart of the thickly-wedged crowd a
blood-red flag, like jet of flame, sud-
denly shot up. 1t was the signal.
Other flags appeared in the crowd,
waving frantically overhead, and they
We're greeted with hoarse roar,
Down with autocracy.'
Dismounted police made single at
tempt to force their way into the crowd
to wrest the flags from the demon
strators, but the students and work
men, armed with sticks, stood close
and beat back their assailants. Then.
like flash, from behind the Kazan
cathedral came squadron of gem
darmerie.
The doors of the adjoining court
yards were thrown back and battalions
of police came out. A double squadron
charged the flank of the demon
strators with drawn sabres. Five
other squadrons circled the mob. cut
ting through the fringe of spectators,
who gladly scurried to cover.
There were probably hundred
broken heads, and several persons
were severely wounded. though none
fatally, SO far as ascertainable. So far
there have been over 100 arrests.
