The tiremen complained bitterly OF the
lack Of police protection afforded them
in the early hours of their fight. They
said that until near daylight there were
never more than dozen policemen on duty
and that not single sergeant was present
to take command. The great crowd, which
gathered at once, continually broke through
the fire lines and forced the firemen them
selves, they say, to do sentry duty.
After daylight sufficie force OF police
men was sent to the fire to control the crowd,
which grew enormous as the day went on,
and the firemen had no further difficulty.
A high. officer Of the Fire Department
confirmed last night the report Of the men
regarding the lack Of proper police protec-

It is thought that Gen. Kuropatkin may
be appointed commander-in-chief, with
Gen. Bildering in command OF the first
army and Gen. Gripenberg in command Of
the second, and It ID hoped In Russia that
this combination will be decided upon and
that thus Alexien alone will be sacrificed.
