The situation is so tense that many
inhabitants of ST. Petersburg are send

A meeting of $50 barristers and So

OLD CAPITAL RAPIDLY BE-

st. Petersburg, Jan. 25.-Wh1le the
city is quiet there is still extreme tell
sion in St. Petersburg, but from Mos
COW comes news that disorders have
begun there and the lull here may be
only the precursor of another storm. l.
Not single mill or factory has start
ed UP. This is very significant as In
dicating that the workmen are being
supplied with the sinews of war. None
has applied for pay at the factories
although some have two weeks pay
coming to them.
The crowds in the streets are sullen
and several thousand additional troops
were brought in at daylight and housed
in the barracks. Machine gun batter
les were also placed at several points
for emergencies.
The terror of the people has been
somewhat relieved, but the dread OF
the next few days continues. Many
foreigners are leaving Russia. The
foreign embassies are not manifesting
alarm. They are expressing confidence
that the government will be able to
handle the situation and that there is
nothing now warranting apprehension
for the lives or safety of their fellow
countrymen. ,. $. -..- - 49,. -....-.. =,
Authorities Are Confident.
The authorities insist that the dan
ger OF the situation is exaggerated,
continuing to scout the idea Of a revo-
luton and maintaining the ability OF
the government to meet all emergen-
cies.
During the afternoon came the news
that workmen were going out at kov'
no and wilma, but particulars were
lacking. .u. IT,. ...
Although the crowds on the Nevsky
Prospect continued to increase during
the afternoon there have been no col
usions up to this hour. Moreover dur
ing the day several of the smaller
mills resumed work and the men at
other mills assured their employers
that they were anxious to return, but
that the strikers threatened to kill
them if they did so.
In certain quarters, where the woes
Of Russia are always laid to the door
of Great Britain, the feeling against
the British has become intense, it be-
ing charged that the British are fur
nishing money to bring about revolu-
tion. ~.
The lower section of the Nevsky
Prospect, including the Winter palace
district and the quay where the en-
bassies are located, is in darkness and
there has been resumption Of the
panicky feeling. Nevertheless the au-
thorities express increasing confidence
that the backbone of the strike is
broken and that all the prominent agi-
tators and many extreme liberals have
been arrested.
Father Gopon has disappeared and
is said to be in Moscow directing the
strikers there.

st. Petersburg. The newspapers pub
fishing extras with accounts OF the

were shocked at the death roll and
there is widespread feeling that the
bureaucracy will be powerless to stem
the tide of reform and that the down.
fall of the bureaucratic system must
end the war. A member of a foreign

North Dakota, recognizing the great
need for an additional ward buildin ing
for the women patients at the state
hospital provided for the same by the
passage of law to raise funds for
such a building. Unforseen legal
difficulties intervened in the matter
OF realizing on the securities offered
and the building progressed only as
far as a foundation. The great need
of a new building at the institution
seen at that time, has simply been
increasing from month to. month ever
since. al the present time, no such
condition Of over crowding Of helpless
people, cared for by the charity of the
state, has ever been seen as is now
witnessed at the the hospital. The
ward buildings that have been pro-
vided for the female population have
become so over crowded that the
sanitary conditions Of the buildings
are almost intolerable, and any men,
Der OF the legislature who feels inter-
,ested. should make a personal in
vestigatioE, and see, hear and smell
for himself. The attendants and the
officers labor under the utmost dis
advantage to provide the necessary
comforts for that class of patients
wholly unable to, assist themselves.
Every floor in the two female wards
is taxed to its utmost capacity, and
a night "trip through the wards mere
~ glancing in during the earlier
part of the evening, before the at
mosphere becomes foul and tainted
as it does long before morning,
causes any one, with humane in
Sstinots, to revolt at the idea of keep
ing anYsperson or persons in such
crowded quarters. It is known
sphysioloRica fact. that the skins .and
lungs OF insane persons exhale more
poisonous substances than those Of
healthy person. The foul condition
Of the air, Is noticed at once In every
sleeping room lns these wards The
insane have an aversion to cold, and
no sooner are windows opened for
ventilation by attendants and the
attendants leave the room, than some
patient closes all the sources Of sup
ply Of fresh air. Rooms in these
wards, no larger than box stalls and
intended only for one patient, are
used for two or more patients and in
many cases two patients are sleeping
together on a 3-4 size bed only in
tended for one person There is no
more room for more or 'ol larger beds.
Patients are obliged to climb over
each other in many Of the rooms
where there are two beds. to reach
their; sleeping quarters and in some Of
the wards, where a number of dis
turbed and dangerous patients are
Obliged to sleep, the atmosphere be-
cmes almost intolerable >hortly after
bed time. In two Of the wards the
sitting rooms for the patients dur
ing the day are utilized for sleeping
rooms at nioht, which vas never in

are crowded so closely together that
