 There are many reports that the czar has been attacked in his palace at Tsarskoe-Selo. The latest is that Grand Duke Vladimir has called him to account for disgracing Grand Duke Cyril.
 All Russia is said to be in open re- volt against Emperor Nicholas. It is worse than revolution. It is annihila- tion of the old order of things, with nothing ready to take the place of the doomed government.
 A Warsaw dispatch says that the railroad telegraph operator at Moscow reported on Saturday night that great incendiary confagration was raging there.
 The striking telegraph operators threaten in case reprisals are made against them to destroy the govern ment lines. Owing to the abolishment of martial law many political offenders have been released
 A Kiev dispatch, via Warsaw, says that there has been serious street fighting between mutinous sappers and Cossacks and between workmen and bands of the Black Hundred. Scores of persons have been killed or wound ed Martial law has been proclaimed.
 Early Sunday morning company of sappers, dissatisfied with their marti- net commander, mutinied and persuad. ed a second company to join them. They left the fortress fully armed and by threats compelled the remainder of the sappers' battalion to join them. Numbering a thousand, the mutineers marched to the barracks of the One Hundred and Twenty fifth Kursk in- fantry, which, however, remained loyal. A body of Cossacks allowed the rebels to pass them in the street. Finally the mutineers arrived at the barracks of the artillery division and the Azoff ln- fantry regiment. The Azoff men an- swered their appeal with insults, and the rebels opened fire upon them. The Azoffs answered with three yolleys. A portion of the mutineers fled, but the others continued firing. The Azoffs re- piled with deadly volleys. and finally the rebels fled headlong, throwing down their arms. Two hundred of them surrendered and were conveyed to their barracks by Cossacks.
 Fifty dead and a hundred wounded mutineers were left on the ground. A court martial has been convened and a notice issued that any further attempt at mutiny will be quelled by artillery.
