chief of police liberated 800 who
had been arrested during the last
three days, but refused to release
twelve who had been arrested by or

light fall of snow covered the city
with white mantle during the night,
but this morning the weather is be-
coming cold and drizzling rain
helped to put a damper on the ardor
of the crowds already exhausted by
the delirium of yesterday.
Many strikers among the railroad
men are ready to return to work and
those in favor of continuing the
struggle have difficulty in holding a
majority.
The students and Social Demo
cratic leaders who continue to de-
clare that nothing but Democratic
Republic will suffice, are using every
means in their power to keep up the
enthu siasm and drive the people into
an armed collision with the troops.
Scores of big meetings are an
nounced for to-day. An official
thank sgiving service is announced to
take place az Kazan Cathedral this
afternoon.

plugged into great excitement yes

counters occurred at many places. In
some towns the mobs obtained con-
troll and the authorities we're forced
to obey their demands for the re-
lease of the political prisoners. This

crowds at Kazan, Kishincff, Kicff
and other places.
