St Petersburg, April PA feeling akin to consternation has been caused by the publication in this mornings papers of renewed rumors of an i'm pending popular outbreak. It is feared that the slightest incident among the vast congregations which will attend the churches on Saturday night may cause panic with appalling conse- quences. The mayor is being urged to convene the municipal council and take measures to cope with the situation. Reports from the provinces indicate similar fears.
 kozloff's appointment as governor general of Moscow upon the eve of the anticipated troubles at Easter (April 3O and on May day (May IA, all though accompanied by rescript in which Emperor Nicholas speaks of the great interior reforms" contem- plated by him, leaves no doubt of his majesty'S purpose first to restore tran quility with a firm hand. Kozloff dis tinguished himself during the Nihilist conspiracies twenty-five years ago by hunting down conspirators, which re- suited in an attempt upon his life. The public genera interprets his summons from retirement at the age of 6S as being an indication that the harsh measures of repression then sanctioned are to be revived But the government takes the position that the execution of the reforms is impos- sible until the present agitation and | excitement are quieted. With Gen. eral Trepoff in St Petersburg and Kozloff in Moscow it is considered | that public safety in the two capitals is assured. The liberals consider the | appointment to be another reactionary l step. A prominent liberal said: ''We expected the proclamation of general amnesty for political prison CTS as an Easter gift. Instead the emperor gives us KOzloff.'
 | KOzloff's entire career has been spent in the police or gendarmerie, beginning as assistant chief of police at Riga in 1861 and later during the exciting nihilistic days alternating as chief of police of Moscow and St Pe- tersburg. He succeeded the father of Trepoff here. When Vera Sassulitch was acquitted by public court of the | charge of attempting the life of the elder Trepoff in revenge for his act in ordering her student lover to be fog ged for declining to uncover when the chief of police passed in the street the jury practically justified her plea that she did not intend to kill him. but only to pillory Trepoff before the world for his harsh treatment of stu. dents
 kozloff's service as chief of police of St Petersburg covered the period following the assassination of Alex ander II in 1881. after Alexander III had thrown over General Loris- Meli kOff. the famous soldier and states man who was minister of the interior and other liberal advisers of his faith CT and had surrendered to NJ. Pobe donostseff. the procurator general and the reactionary party. He re tired after crushing the nihilist con spiracies and the conclusion of the fa nous trials. He was the head of tho celebrated committee of public safety composed of twenty-five persons. his name appearing on all orders. "Koz lOff'' means goat" and the public sar castically denominated his proclama tions Orders of Kozloff and hi. twenty-five goats.'
 Nevertheless KozlOff succeeded ir
 what he set out to do. earning tn, greatest praise from his imperial mas ter. who heaped decorations on him conferring on KoZlOff among othel orders the Alexander Nevski order
