other demands tomorrow. The council
sent requests to both Gen. Trepoff and
Minister of the Interior Bouligan not
to arrest the members of the deputa-
tion, but the police nevertheless took
them into custody. Upon urgent repre-
sentations Gen. Trepoff, an hour later,
released them.
The people are extremely nervous
and bordering on panic and are easy
victims of every sensational rumor.
Among countless baseless reports
which received credence today were
that the emperor had embarked on a
vessel and fled to Denmark; that Gen.
Trepoff had been killed by a bomb
and that Vice Admiral Birileff had
been assassinated by mutineers in the
Black sea.
With a strike in the government
postoff1ce tonight, communication with
the interior practically ceased. Govern
ment troops were placed in the govern
lnent telegraph office, but only a few
lines are working. Many lines includ-
ing the land lines to the continent and
to Libau, where they connect with the
cable have been cut.
Only One Wire Open
AZ III u ClOCh, however, lnG CdDle DIV
way of Nystad. Sweden, was still open.
This is now the only thread connect
ing Russia with the outer world. Ad-
miral Darnovo, superintendent of posts
and telegraph, told the representative
of a European power this afternoon
that he could not tell how long cable
communication with the continent
would last.
The foreign embassies have dis
-GE
taken no steps regarding the safety of
foreign residents. AS a precautlon the
state department at Washington has
been requested to confer authority for
the charter Of a vessel and to hoist
the American flag as a refuge for
Americans.
]. Pierpont Morgan, jr., and George
w. Perkins are negotiating with the
Hamburg-American Steamship COM
pany for the dispatch of a vessel to
take them off If necessary.
The university, the polytechnic insti-
tute and all educational institutions
were closed today so as to prevent
further meetings being held in them
The university and polytechnic insti-
tute were surrounded by troops who
blocked all the adjacent streets, and
the students and professors were kept
within the confines of each institution.
Druggists Join Strike
Even the druggists have struck and
as there is much sickness the people
have divided the city into districts.
and also have selected stations for the
giving of first aid to the injured in
case of collisions between the troops
and the people.
Such news as comes from the in
terror shows no Improvement in the
situation. The government everywhere
seems powerless to break the present
strike. AT Kharkoff order was re-
stored only after the governor had
fire and upon the demand of the
BLACK Heads" at Reval the soldiers
We're sent out of that city and the
place left in charge of a local militia,
which had been organized by the
citizens.
Most interesting by far, however, is |
the news from Moscow, the real Rus |
sian capital, where, according to prf-
vate reports, the municipal council and
the committee of public safety are sit |
ting continuously and where a strug-
gle is momentarlly expected between |
the League of Russian Patriots" a |
reactionary organization led by the |
priests, and the newly organized |
militia and students. The Moscow mu-
niCipaI council is also reported TO have |
sent an ultimatum to the emperor de- |
the PRONUNCIATION of consti- |
tuition.
Although it is impossible officially |
to confirm these reports, they seem |
to admit of no doubt that the anti |
forces have the upper !
hand
The government is no longer in COM |
