Appeal 10 Gar in Vain.

After the sanguinary struggle had
reached its height some 1000 survivors
in desperation turned towards Tsars-
koe, Selo, the palace fourteen miles
out of town. where the czar had taken
refuge. They declared that it was

ArtlLIerymen May Mutlny.

There are rumors that some of the
artillery regiments will follow the ex-
ample of one detachment of infantry
yesterday, that they will mutiny and
play a similar part to that of the
French gunners in the fall of the
Bastile.

The people stood in crowds wiring

Growing Horror Comes At Last.
So the work of terror went on until
A O'Clock. when came the browning hor-
ror. All attempts to resist or defy the
authorities had failed. st. Petersburg
was counting it's dead and summing up
the events of the bloodiest day in its
history. The streets in the center of
the town were filled with ordinary cit
liens, women and children, drawn
solely by curiosity.
! Most of the slaughter had taken
place at points a considerable distance
from the palace and the main avenue
of the city. The crowd was naturally
greatest at the palace end of this great
thoroughfare, which is one of the wild
est avenues of Europe.
Charge in Dense Crowd.
Suddenly without warning, another
order was given to the troops sur
rounding the palace. They were di
rected to charge upon the dense
crowds at the ends Of all the avenues
opening on the great semi-circle in
front of the palace. The Cossacks and
the dowager empress cavalry guards
sprapg upon the people with drawn
swords. 1t was like the spreading out
of a great fan of steel.
The populace vas so closely packed
that they could not fee with any speed
and quickly the murderous horsemen
were among them, slashing right and
left, cutting, stabbing, and treading
down all alike-men, women, and chill
dren.
Like Carnival Of Killing.
On the Cossacks pursued their vic

They were ridden down by Cossack
and Uhlan, who obeyed with alacrity
the orders to kill.
