comparative tranquility. The strike
: the bakers, printers and carmen con-
: nued and was Joined by the theatrical
{ echanics. Two large gatherings of the
; trikers were held in the open air, at
ghioh red flags we're waved but other
wise the proceedings were orderly and the
nanifestants dispersed of their own ac-
cord. There were no collisions with the
troops and the feeling was much less
tense. All the stores except the Phillippof
bakery were open.
Traffic was resumed on all the streets
with the exception of the Tverskoi boue-
ward, the center of the previous disorders,
which was closed with troops and police
at all the intersecting streets Detach-
ments of Cossacks, dragons and mounted
police patrolled this place and kept the
crowds moving Infantrymen and cavalry
were held under arms in the court yards
of the police stations in various quarters
of the city.
The mona ppearance OF the newspapers,
resulting in a lack Of authentic informa-
tlon, furnished a field for many alarming
rumors. Among these rumors was one to
the effect that there had been a collision
between the troops and the mob in which
ten persons, variously reported Cos
sacks, police or civilians, were killed This
rumor has been authoritatively denied. 1t
also reported that artillery had been
posted in front Of the palace of Governor
General Durnovo for the purpose of de-
Tending it against anticipated attacks
A meeting of workmen held during the
day sent a deputaton to the chief OF
police to ask permission for the holding
of mass meeting to discuss questions
relating to the strike Notwithstanding
that this request was refused. a crowd of
1900 persons assembled at s o'clock this
evening in the presence of strong detach-
ments of Cossacks and other troops and
resolved to continue the strike until all
the employers had granted the strikers
demands. The meeting then dispersed,
voting to- reassemble tomorrow.
The number of persons wounded in the
previous disorders has not been definitely
established but it is believed to be about
| 100, OF which number twenty-five are po-
! lice or soldiers. One policeman has died
| of HIS wounds and several Others includ-
/ ing officers, are suffering from serious in
juries.
Two hundred strikers were arrested at
the Phillippoff bakery Sunday and taken
to the court yard of police headquarters,
where they were severely beaten before
being released. None of the bakery strik-
| ers were killed.
The strike of the bakers has caused a
sharp rise in the price of bread and the
supply is sufficient only for two days.
The railroad employees are threatening
to join the ranks of the strikers
ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. s.-General Tre-
pom, assistant minister of the interior, has
been Informed by telephone from Moscow
that no serious disorders occurred there
last night and that the situation was
sligtly more reassuring this morning. The
strike IL spreading. however. and the
authorities evidently are very epprehen-
sive. They are hopeful, however. that the
st. Petersburg workmen will not be af-
fected. "a
A serious development at Moscow today
was an attempt to interrupt railroad com.
munication. The rails were tampered with
short distance from Moscow, causing the
derailment of a train, but there were nc
casualties.
The ministry of the interior admits thai
three Cossack policemen were killed yes
terday, but has no confirmation of a dis.
patch received by the Russ from Moscow
saying that eight bakers were killed In
an affray at a bakery. and are inclined tC
question its accuracy, saying that theii
adNices do not mention such an event and
pointing out that it Is hardly possible fol
q
to injure strikers stoning them from thu
fourth story windows.
The report telegraphed to the Russ tina
