of the strikers,
St. Petersburg, Jan. 29.-An official

last night, estimated the dead at 76 and
the wounded at 233. These official cas-
ualty figures are everywh IRE ridiculed.

ST. Petersburg, Jan. 23.-The night
was fall of meetings of the workingmen,
and policies we're proposed and adopted
which, if carried out, mean the breaking
loose OF full grown revolution at any
moment, Every street in the city is pa
trjlled by troops, while in front of the
palace, aud at various approaches to the
city, there are massed thousands of the
Cars troops, fully armed and ready to
oppose any movement of the strikers of
other cities toward the capital. The
capital is full of the widest rumOrs.
Che says the strikers have resolved to
march 80, 900 strong Oh Tsarkoe Selo.
Ii they find the Car is not there, they
will continue marching to Peterhof.
Still another runner has it that nihilists
have persuaded the strike leaders TO take
over large supply OF bombs which are
secreted at nihilist headquarters and use
them TO repel the troops. 1t is known
the strikers have not as yet obtained any
quantity of arms and this lack of ammu-
uition is said TO have been a strong argu
ment for the bombs A third report had
it that the strikers had seized the Putt
Ioh arsenal and were getting arms aud
ammunition from the source. This re-
port is not confirmed and is not general |
Y credited as it is known the arsenal
would naturally be most strongly guard. |

using their best endeavors to effect a
concentration which the troops have thus
far successfully prevented.
Ali traces OF yesterdays conflicts have
largely been removed. The authorities
are not permitting any news of yester-
terday's massacre to be telegraphed from
the capital to internal points of Russia.
Few cities outside of st. Petersburg
accordingly know what has occurred.
Their only means of obtaining infor-
nation is through travellers. The banks
of the Neva this morning ring with the
of "Down with the auto
cracy. Long live the republic" In
the midst of street yesterday an aged
priest, urged to visit the spot by his
love for bis fcck, who were in danger
Of death, knelt 10 the street and offered
a prayer for the salvation of his loved
Dnes with hands raised TO heaTen, and
with words Of love ascending he was
struck, tottered and fell dead
Small boys, like boys the world over,
lad rushed to the scene drawn by the
excitement. In the list of those who
ell may be found hundred of these
ads, who, though not participants in
he awful drama, yet paid the penalty Of
heir elders frenzy.
