Press investigated the rumors and
twice denied their truth.

to its comment on the official state
ment of the st. Petersburg shooting.
1t says:
'sThis official report does not come
from the scene of war; the victims
have not fallen on the battlefields of
Manchuria, nor in fight with for
eign foe, but in a bloody conflict be-
tween troops and Russian burghers.
Arms and slaughter may avail to put
down peaceful demonstration, but
force is not powerful enough to
uuench the aspirations of the Russian
heart, ward off the consequences of
SUNDAYS volleys and prevent the move
ment for liberty and justly organized
government coming to a full friu-
tion.
DICTATOR NAMED AND SIEGE DEcL AIRED.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 24.-St. Peters
burg will be declared in q state of
siege tomorrow. General Trepoff, un-
| til recently chief of police Of Moscow,
| has been appointed Governor General
of ST. Petersburg and has taken up
quarters in the Winter Palace.
Strangely enough, the only prece-
| dent is the case of General rrepoif's S
| father, during the reign OF Nihilistic
| terrorism under Alexander Ii, and t
/ is also a strange coincidence that un-
successful atteM ere made on the
| lives of both. General Trepof is a
man of great energy, but the measures
| adopted at Moscow for suppressing the
| student demonstrations in December
| last provoked much resentment, and
the revolutionists recently condemned
| him to death.
The city was again in darkness to-
night and the tension has been in
creased by another clash between
| troops and rioters. Additional SOL
diers have been brought here.
