St petersburg QUIET
Situation at Moscow gives Gov.
ernment Much Concern

st. Petersburg, Jan. 25.-St. Peters
burg will be declared in a state Of
siege Wednesday.
Of police of Moscow, has been appoint
ed governor general of st. Petersburg
and has taken up quarters in the win
ter palace. Strangely enough the
only precedent is the case of General
Trepoff's father during the reign of
nihilistic terrorism under Alexander
I. and 1t Is also strange coincidence
upon the lives of both. General Ire
2off is a man of great energy, but the
measures he adopted at Moscow for
suppressing student demonstrations In
December last provoked much resent
ment and the revolutionists recently
condemned him to death.
The aspect of the Russian capital is
decidedly more calm. Business, which
had been at complete standstill, has
been resumed upon d limited scale.
The employees in a few small factories
went to work Tuesday and the crowds
Of strikers in the streets were dimin-
ished The troops in evidence were
not so numerous as on Monday and a
more confident feeling exists in official
circles that the energetic measures
which have been inaugurated will en-
sure the safety and quiet of the city.
There will be big demonstration
in Moscow Wednesday and it is feared
1t will be accompanied by bloodshed.
The situation confronting the military
authorities at Moscow is much more
serious than at st. Petersburg. Out
Of over 100000 inhabitants Of Mos.
COW, over two-thirds are workmen, in
cluding an exceedingly rough and
turbulent element. The troops there
are fewer and the city does not lend
itself, like st. Petersburg, to natural
barracks to prevent congestion of men.

People and Soldiers Clash

et. Petersburg, Jan. 23.-The first
blood in the Russian revolution has
been shed.
Sunday thousands Of Russian work
ingmen, with their wives and children,
gathered in the streets leading to the
palace square.
The movement toward the square
began early in the morning. The peo
pie found all the bridges leading to
their objective point closely guarded
by strong bodies of troops, but by twoa
and threes they crossed the Neva on
the ice, hurrying to the palace square.
where they believed Emperor Nicholaa
would meet them and receive theii,
petition.
The emperor was not there. Instead
the people were met by thousands Of
troops, massed in solid squares.
Then the crowd began to abuse the
soldiers. Every move Of the troops
was met with Kisses and cries.
Finally the order was given to clear
the crowds away. The horse guards
charged. Shrieks Of the wounded re.
sounded for q time. Then came 81
lence.
Again the crowd refused to obey an
order to disperse. Then two com
panies advanced. The commanding
officer ordered the crowd to disperse.
The people refused. The troops fired
q volley with blank cartridges; then
another. Still the crowd did not move.
Then followed q deadly volley with
ball cartridges. At least one hundred
people fell. Firing was rapeatad. and
corpses strewed the ground in every
direction. Blood flowed down the
streets in streams.
Then the crowd fed, denouncing tie
soldiers as "murderers and murderous
dogs"
The police ordered out sleighs tc
care for the dead and heartrendine
scenes were witnessed as the dead
were recognized by relatives. Men
women and children had fallen before
the volleys of the soldiers.
