closed a circular of Fulton's Compound

Of it. I determined to try 1t, and got
from it the first substantial relief !

ST. PETERSBURG-Th disurb-

airy charging on excited throngs in
the streets. No quarter is granted,
according to reports In general cir
culation. Mobs, it is declared, are
hurling dynamite bombs and many
soldiers, it is reported, have been kill
ed and scores wounded. AT coun-
Gil of ministers, hurriedly called, it
was decided to make no concessions,
but to apply the most rigid measures
Of repression. At six minutes past
9 O'Clock excitement was rapidly
rising and the streets were patrolled
by cavalry. At all CORNERS we're
strong infantry pickets. Each SOL
dier has been given 80 rounds Of ball
cartridges with instructions to fire on
the slightest provooation. No pris-
oners are being taken. 1t is simply
case of fight to death.
st. Petergsburg has been declared
to be in state of siege and is under
military rule entirely.

battle between strikers and troops
near Kolpino and wholesale slaugh
ter of strikers.

of massacre at Radon, and describe

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 25.-A
new grave danger has arisen in The in
terruptions of the dispatch Of supplies
to the front as the result of the
strike. Unless some means can be
found to secure the provisions and
other munitions of war which were to
be started from st. Petersburg on
January 80, General Kuropatkin's g

predicamsnt.
The riots Of st. Petersburg have

are reported to have occurred at macy
places. 1t is almost certain an at
