*Policemen.
RESTRAINED FROM VIOLENCE.
The strike committee continues to re-
strain the people from violence, this be-
| ing considered the best means of attain
| ing the ends in view, but behind the
scenes the members of the committee are
| holding constant meetings with the lead
ers of the various groups and seem to be
preparing for a bold stroke at the oppor-
| tune moment
The committeeman believe that the
| longer an open collision which would
| force show of hands can be avoide ed
the better their chances. The army
they say, is being gradually won over
! to the peoples cause.
ONLY COSSACKS ARE FAITHFUL.
Only the Cossacks, who are referred
| to as Emperor Nicholas Swiss guards,
are absolutely faithful to the existing
regime. The Ismailovsky guard regi-
| ment, which was reported to be disaf-
! fected during the troubles last winter
| is now reported to have refused to dc
| guard duty and to be confined in bar
racks surrounded by Cossacks.
DESERTION REPORTS CONFIRMED.
| An investigation by the Associated
| Press has led to confirm the report
During the night firing occurred at the
| Polytechnic school, where a number of
students are held as prisoners. The
| Cossacks surrounding the building, dis
| persed the Workmen with their whips
! and denounced by the students from the
windows. The students finally fired, I'M
| horsing two soldiers. Thereupon the
| Cossacks fired two volleys. The result
| is not known.
POLICEMAN SLAIN ON BEAT.
A policeman in the Vasili Ostrov dis
| trict was found dead this morning, hay
| ing been murdered on his beat. Many Of
| the police are afraid of losing their lives
and refuse to do patrol duty. Their
places have been taken by foot soldiers.
The news from provinces indicates
that the authorities are getting control
| i'll some sections, but generally the sit
uation is growing worse instead of I'M
proving. In many places the students
and strikers are fighting the BLACK
| Hundred" as the bands of roughs are
| termed.
DEMANDS OF PEOPLE GROW.
The demands of the people are in
creasing proportionately with the success
of the demonstration The cry for a
Constituent assembly is now almost uni
versal. but the reds" declare that even
that would not satisfy the people, and
| add that there must be some lamp post
! work" The demands are these:
| That the city furnish food to the work
men.
That the city refuse further supplies tt
| the troops and the police.
That the troops be removed from the
waterworks or otherwise the strikers will
cut the water supply.
The immunity or the delegation from ar
rest.
RUSS LOAN IS OFF.
The negotiations for the new Russian
| loan were definitely adjourned at a meet
! ing of the financiers today Both sides
! agree that it would be inopportune to
place loan on the foreign markets I'M
| til the interior situation in Russia has
| changed.
No papers except The Official Messen-
| ger appeared today.

| rich Jews are behind the strikers for the
| purpose of forcing the government to

| ligioriSts.
