New Regime Set Oh Fcoi By
Russian Patriots.
MOVE BEGUN IN MOSCOW
Provisional Government Proclaimed
While Gear Delays Edict for
Promised Reforms - Chaotic
Conditions Accentuated.

Nl1le Sunday passed quietly with
out bloodshed in the Russian capital,
and while the city is outwardly calm,
the days developments all indicate
that crisis is imminent.
Although the streets are filled with
troops and reinfcrcements are now
pouring in from Finland, the govern
ment seems utterly poweriess to cope
with the situation and many calm OBJ
servers seem seriously 10 believe that
the present regime is tottering to its
fail.
Differences have developed between
Count Witte and General Trepof, and
while the precious moments pass, the
emperor, surrounded by the imperial
family, remains { 1T up at Peterhof,
seemingly still hesltsting as to what
course to pursue.
Grave doubts are expressed as to
whether even the imperial guard can
now be relied upon. Discomfort IS
rife.
Day after day passes without the
romulgation of Russia's new govern
mental organ-a responsible ministe-
III cabinet to bring order out of the
present administered chaos. Count
Witte to whom all factions look to
assume the premiership, has spent al
most the entire time OF two days at
,terhoff wrestling with the emperor,
insisting upon conditions in connec-
ton with the appointment which his
majesty was unwilling to grant.
New Regime Set on Foet.
At a meeting in Moscow OF dele
gates representing the different po'
litical parties, it has been decided to
unite in the establishment Of a gov
ernment and to act independently OF
the imperial authorities.
The shops, theaters and schools are
~losed and the streets are dark and
deserted save for the troops and
streams of workmen. Several meet
ings of strikers were dispersed by
Cossacks. The banks, treasury, post
Office and governor generals residence
re surrounded by troops. The govern
~ general has formally postponed the
auction Of peasants property which
was to have been sold for taxes. The
oard of trade has petitioned against
ne state of siege. The utmost alarm
prevails, owing to rumors that work
men are marching on the town from
the factory districts. The electric light
work have shut down. Eight banks
have closed and the bourse remains
closed. The town council has decided
to sit permanently.
The situation in st. Petersburg 1s
that Of city under siege, with an
uprising threatened from Within al
most completely isolated and its scan
store Of provisions being rapidly
exhausted. The garrison, however, ID
Overwhelmingly large. General Trepon
has ninety thousand troops under MS
command, which are distributed in eV'
ery section of the city. There ls
scarcely q block without Its military
patrol.
Riotina in Odessa.
Advices from Odessa state that the
Cossacks have commenced firing on
the crowds of workmen and students
who had barricaded street corners
with street railway poles and 1urnl'
ture. At one point volley from the
Cossacks killed one student, three
workmen and a girl and wounded
ei.hteen persons. All the streets and
square are full of Cossacks and po-
lice. Citizens have formed a commit
tee for defense.
