While the Russian capital is out

Einent. Although the streets are
filled with troops and reinforcements
are now pouring in from Finland, the
government seems utterly powerless

emperor, surrounded by the imperial
family, remains shut up at Peterhof
seemingly still hesitating as to what
course to pursue.
The government and the Liberals
are at a loss to know whose is the
contriving brain behind the great
strike. The directing hand Is invis.
ble, though its workings are plainly
evident. 1t is thought the strike may
have been directed from Switzerland
or Germany and executed here through
the Social Democratic organization, in
which representatives of the workmen

The organization is able to sway the

members and everywhere today the
students were seen mingling with the

their movement.
