ST PETERSBURG, Jan. 23.-The Off

and of the events leading up to it, is
given in the Official Messenger today
IN the following way:
All attempts of the factory inspec-
tors to pacify the workmen were fruit
less and every worker from number
of the large factories joined the strike
which spread quickly and extended to
almost all the works in the city. The
demands of the men at the same time
increased and were formulated for the
greater part by Father Gapon."
Why Government Interfered.
The report speaks of the Willingness
CT employees to negotiate With the men
as individuals
The open expression of insurrection-
airy doctrines by the strikers and the
revolutfonists, is the excuse given by
the government for its final interfer-
