st. Petersburg, Jan 22.-With hun.
dreds of men, women and children
shot down by troops in the streets,
one regiment of soldiers in revolt and
ihousands of workmen raising barri.
Gales in the streets, an emeute that
may develop into a revolution, rent
st. Petersburg from center to circum-
ference today.
The turbulent condition followed
the refusal of the czar TO receive the
petition Of the strikers, led by Faith
err Gopon. Instead of listening to the
entreaties of the men, the car went
to the palace outside the city and the
men were met at every entrance TO
the city by soldiers and dragons,
who lashed men and families, cut the
more obs reperous persons down
with sabres or shot to death those
who at distance hurled stones and
tore down buildings and telegraph
poles to erect barricades. The dow
ager empress has fed to the subur
ban palace. The number of dead is
not definitely known tonight, but es
timates range from 500 to 5000. Fir
ing still continued late in the night at
some points. The streets of the city
are camp grounds and senries pace

holding aloft cross and marching at
the head of thousands of workmen
through the narva gate, escaped
volley which laid low half hundred
persons. But the blood which Grim
scned the snow has fired the brains
and passions of the strikers and
turned women as well as men into
wild beasts, and the cry of the infu-
rated populace is for vengeance.
The sympathy of the middle class

Beginning of the Revolution.
If Father Gopon. the master mind
of the movement, aimed at open reyo-
luton, he managed the affair like
genius TO break the faith of the peo
pie in "the little father" who, they
were convinced by Father Gopon,
would right their wrongs aud redress
their grievances. Gorky, the Rus
sian novelist. expresses the opinion
that today's work will break this
faith of the people in the emperor.
He said this evening to the Associ-
ated Press:

BASE BALLS POPULARITY.
Over IS, 900 Attended Eight Games II
Philadelphia.

PHILADELPHIA. July 1O.-Advocates of
only one major league in this country have
received a black eye by the base ball his
tory made In this city this season. Ger
tain individuals have maintained ever since
the American League invaded the east that
no city In the country, with the possible
exception of New York, could support two
teams.
Last week broke all records for six sue
cessive days of attendance figures in this
city. Favored by excellent weather and
the best of attractions in both leagues,
the fans turned out as they never have
before for a continuous period of contests,
until total attendance of 1851 for the
past week was reached.
The daily attendance figures follow:
National League-July 3. Philies VS.. New
New York. 1886. July (p.mD. Phillies

Last winter President Pulliam of the Ma
tional League made the announcement that
a trife over 100000 paid admissions had
been received by major league clubs last
year. breaking all attendance records. This
would have made an average of 100000 for
each of the eight clubs in the National
League.
Even should not the present high average
of attendance In this city be maintained,
each OF the Philadelphia clubs Will doubt
less draw around 10000 paid admissions

for the National League In 1904.

RACE OF OCTOPEDES
CREWS OF CRACK SCULLERS TO
ROW AT BALTIMORE.

NEW YORK. July San octopede race
has been added to the National Assocla-
TONS regatta at Baltimore August 1s and
Ii.
President James Pilkington of the Ma
tional Oarsmens Association announced
yesterday that in the Baltimore race New
York city. Philadelphia and Washington
woulI not be represented by club elghss
but eights made up of the best oarsmen In
each city. irrespective Of club affiliations.
This will make that event an interesting
match. and one Of the most important ever
held in this country.
Pilkington says that Robert p Milligan.
commodore of the Philadelphia Schuykill
Navy and Claude r. ZappOne. the Wash
ingtOn member Of the executive committee
of the N. o. A.. have assured him that
their cities will be represented by strong
octopedes.
Boston's entry is not a surety, but 1t ts
likely that the Hub will send a crew.
With such men of national prominence;
among OarSmen In the boat the Greer
brothers. Peterson. Lloyd. Hodgkins and
Lewis they would be match for q repre-
sentative eight from any city.
The difference between an ordinary
latter crew each man uses a pair of SOULS,
making sixteen oars in all; whereas, in the
other style of boat each man manipulates
only one sweep, or eight oars for the whole.
The local information is to the effect that
the Potomac Boat Club Will sent a senior
eight.

TOPIC OF TURF MEN
DISCUSSING ARTFUL'S VICTORY
IN BRIGHTON HANDICAP.

NEW YORK, July 10-Artfuls victory In
the Brighton handicap Is the chief topic of
conversation among turfmen. All agree
that her performance stands out alone
that no other filly, not even BeIdame last
year. has demonstrated her class SO clear
ly Artful proved Saturday. the turfmen
declare. that she ecipsed the deeds of the
other great mares of the turf-Firenzi, Miss
Woodford. Imp and Beldame.
Until Imp upset all presidents, it was
considered settled that no mare could win
any of the big handicaps In the spring and
summer. Trainers said that their was
against them. Then Imp came along.
VIVA tever doubt still fingered was removed
by Beldame's sterling performance in the
Suburban.
But. greatest OF all. was the work of Art
full. When Conroy won the Brooklyn handi-
cap horSemen were surprised They did not
believe that three-year colt could pos
sibly accomplish such task, but when
Broomstick won the Brighton handicap and
smashed all turf marks for the mile and
quarter In the bargain, he was hailed as
the greatest little colt American breeders
had ever produced.
But all these performances. great as they
were. are now eclipsed. Artful stands
alone. not only as the greatest three-year-
old. but as the greatest three-year-old filiy.
Sensational as Sysonbys performances
have been this year, horsemen declare that
they sink into insignificance compared with
Artfuls victory In the Brighton handicap.
Sysonby's best races have been with colts
of his own age. Artfufs success was
achieved when racing against horses much
older.
The attempt of the Brighton Beach man.
agement to bring about a meeting between
Sysonby and Artful meets with the appro-
val of the race-going public. but there Is
scarcely chance that these horses Will
come together at this meeting. Sysonby is
engaged in two stakes-the Iroquois and the
Brighton Derby--which are practically at
his mercy These stakes worth in the
aggregate $50 600 and 1t is not likely that
his owner James r. Keene will permit him
to pass them up, especially when to win
them means little more than an exercise
gallon A race with Artful would mean
king struggle, with the remuner-
alton for the effort comparatively small. So
the chances are that the two great cham

NOT MUCH SURPRISED.
Feeling in Philadelphia Over the
Vespers' Defeat.

PHILADELPHIA. July 1O.-One OF the
principal topics OF conversation along Boat
House Row is the defeat Of the Fespers
at the Henley regatta. Nothing but praise
Is heard on all sides for the efforts Of the
Vespers to lift the grand challenge cup. a
feat which no American crew has yet been
able to accomplish. AS matter of fact.
the defeat of the local men does not seem
to occasion q great deal of surprise. The
reason for this feeling is not that the Yes
pers had an inferior crew. but that they
had too many handicaps to overcome be-
fore carrying off the trophy.
The consensus OF opinion Is that II the
Brtons would compete in an American re-
gatta. or even II regatta could be ar
ranged where the English and American
crews could compete on even terms, the
Americans could quickly show their supe-
riority. But there seems TO be little or no
prospects of arranging such a meeting as
this. because the English are careful to
keep within their own precincts, where 1t
would take an immensely superior crew to
wrest the victory from them.
