RLoopsHED Is CERTAIN.
Belieyed thst Rnssisn Situation Can-
 not End without It.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 27.-That the present situation cannot end without bloodshed is the conviction prevailing in the higher Government circles. which from moment to moment, are expecting a conflict between the troops and the Revolutionists in St. Petersburg and news of trouble in the provinces, es- pecially at Kharkoff, which has been declared in a state of war.
 The Governor of Kieff has been in- structed to take all necessary meas ures to restore order, which the local Government and the commander of the troops are unable to maintain.
 One of the most prominent members of the Emperor's Council received the Associated Press representative today and said with every evidence of deep emotion:
 The sitation is T grievous and palm full one, and I see Ifo way out of 1t, ex- cept by the employment of armed force. Please do not misunderstood me. I look upon the prospect with tears, but it is becoming more and more evident that the troops will be com pelled to fire. I can see no other pos sible outcome. The Revolutionists and terrorists are absolutely bent on fore ing a conflict upon us. and nothing we can do will satisfy them. The exten- sion of the suffrage and the right Of assembly will be nothing to them. They are determined to have blood shed and we cannot avoid the issue. If is a frightful disease from which Russia is suffering, and, sad and pain full as it is, the Government must act with force
 The minister said that the law creat- ing A responsible cabinet will probably be promulgated, and Count Witte's nomination as Premier announced to- morrow. Under the statute. the Pre- mier may or may not hold special portfolio.
 Count Witte spent almost the entire day with the Emperor at Peterhoff, and he has not confided to his colleagues whether he intends to take the minis try of the interior or the ministry of finance, or no portfolio at all. The whole of the ministerial body Is also in ignorance as to whether they will retain their places under the new leader.
 fere with the monster meeting at the university would inevitably lead to a bloody outbreak, General Teapoff an- nounced during the afternoon that he intended to prevent the assembly. and instructed the police to close their eyes to the fact and the meeting, which was attended by between 15.O00 and 10000 persons, passed OH WiluONI d SOhAASts
 The troops stationed around the building were withdrawn, but in the court. the city bourse and other nearby buildings half a dozen companies of Cossacks and strong forces of infantry and dragons were in readiness to rally forth if necessary.
 Big meetings were held also in the Technology and Art Institutes and in two engineering schools. The students at neither of these meetings took prominent part in the demonstrations, yielding the hospitality of the college 1 building without attempting to cloak the meetings with the guise of student assemblies.
 With the hope of avoiding further meetings at the University, General Trepoff later placed halls in different ! parts of the city at the disposition of | the people for meetings. thereby prac- ticaIIy conceding the demands of the agitators of the right of assembly
 The scene inside the university beg rars description. In the great open | air court, with no light except a few | hickering candles, on a hastily-con-
 structed tribunal. from 1000 to 5000
