JOY TO ALL RUSSIA
St. Petersburg, Moscow and
 Odessa Still In Turmoil.
DEMAND FOR TREPOFF'S DISMISSAL
Celebration of Czar's Proclamation of Freedom Passed on More Quiet- ly Than Expected-Fighting
 In Various Places.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 1- All Russia is celebrating enthusiastically the emperor's gift of freedom, which the greater part of the people have re- ceived with deepest joy, though in St. Petersburg, Moscow, and other cities Socialists and revolutionists organized antigoyernment demonstrations and red flag parades, which, with the pa triotic manifestations, led to a number of conflicts between the reds and whites," as the antigovernment and royalist factions are respectively term ed.
 On the whole the celebration passed more quietly in, Russia than had been expected, though collisions between the people and the troops are reported from Poltava, Kazan and Kishineff and two men were killed.
 The scenes in St. Petersburg remind ed the observer of events in an Ameri- can university town after great foot ball victory, but a thousand times Snagniied.
 Constantine Petrovitch Pobedonost- zeff, chief procurator of the holy synod of St. Petersburg, has resigned.
 Probably there is no man in Russia more cordially detested by so many people than M. Pobedonostzeff, as he always opposed by every means in his power any liberalization of the civil or religious institutions of Russia.
 Two hundred thousand persons in the Nevsky prospect, mostly Socialist agi- tators, with many students and work men and members of revolutionary or ganizations, jumped into the forefront of affairs in St. Petersburg and con- verted the celebration into great rev. olutionary demopstration. There were long processions, in which hundreds of red flags were. carried and to which every one was compelled to doff the hat. They declared the concessions of the emperor's manifesto were insuffi- cient and that they must have the freedom of all political prisoners, the formation of a national militia and the punishment of General Trepoff and all the troops under his command twenty miles from the capital
 At Helsingfors, Finland, the procla- nation of civil liberty in Russia was followed by the announcement of the return to constitutional regime in Finland and the abolition of the arbi- @ro,.,, conditions ,,ndar xx,,ioh EipIap,1 has been governed since the accession as governor general of Count Bobri- koff, who in June of last year was kill ed by Engen Schaumann, son of Sena- tor Schaumann, the assassin afterward committing suicide.
 Owing to the strike Helsingfors is in darkness.
 A telegram from Odessa says that four ships of the Black sea squadron have arrived there in state of mu- tiny and that the mutineers are threat enIng to lombard the town, .-... ; The governor te1egraphed that the sit& uation was desperate. Count Witte re- piled, "The czar has just signed con- stitution."
 The revolutionary party is now dom- mating the celebrations which have been going on in the city. over the czar's manifesto granting a eonstitu- tion. They are making speeches against the manifesto. and anarchists are crying for a social revolution"
