st. Petersburg, Oct. 28.-11:20 am
A condition bordering upon panic
prevails here today. Business is com
pletely suspended. Soldiers are now
everywhere in the street, and blood
shed on large scale is feared
The government is trying to appease
the infiamed populace but the revolu
tionaries seem determined to force ar
armed conflict.
The cable service Is still operating
although the postoffice is closed, and
the only papers to appear this morn
ing were the Official Messenger and
the army organs, which printed direc
tions for the military. The former
contained a letter from General Tre
poff, who is in command of the st
Petersburg garrison, and addressed tc
the provisional governors instructins
them to allow public meetings for the
discussion of political questions and
to interpret the law literally under
Count Whites direction.
the government realizes that oppres-
sion by arms in the present state OF
excitement would be dangerous, and
meetings will be allowed Further
meetings at the universities, however,
have been prohibited, but three build
ings nave been set aside for meetings
in ST. Petersburg, and General Trepoff
has instructed the governor to select
buildings in all the cities.
Much alarm is shown at some of the
embassies for the safety of the foreign
subjects, and the situation is being
graVely discussed. Beyond prelimi-
nary arrangements for the dispatch OF
embassy mails by boat, however, no
steps have yet been taken
Telegraph communication with the
interior is open, but the dispatches re
cetyed are meager. Communication
with some places is entirely interrupt
ed. From al lover the empire the story
is the same-work stopped no news
papers printed, schools closed and the
business life OF the people uspended.
The cry of the masses is always tle
same-political liberty.
The military everywhere are in pos
session, the inhabitants are terror,
stricken, many cities are in darkness,
and at Reval mob began work last
night. The rioters sacked the shops
and this morning the city is on fire.
The tneater and spirit shops are burn
ing. Kharkoff is under martial law
The most startling news, however,
comes from Moscow, where all the po-
litical parties have joined in a resolu-
tion to set up the provisional govern

exact progress of this attempt at for

work in the Suitor factory. Near the
body lay the mans cap and the cap of
some other man. There were also indca
tions that the body had been dragged

track.
These two facts aroused suspicion o;
foul play and at the request of the town
Sclectncn an inquest was held over the
body before Justice r. e. Bacon. The
the finding of a human leg at a
was to tho effect that the man had not
been killed by a train but that he was
dead before he WIS dragged up the bank

the mans skull extended directly back
from his forehead and appeared to have
been inflicted by sharp instrument
which laid the skull open.
