A considerable increase has been
noticeable the last few days in the

for the belief that part Of the heavy

Is estimated at nine army corps, or
300, 900 men.
According to a report from Japanese

LARGE CROWDS ON STREETS

DISTRIBUTED TO THE ga.
! GER PoPULAcE.

Ut. Petersburg, Jan. 25.-St. Peters,
burg wears a less martial aspect.
Everywhere troops have been with
drawn into c%ourtyards. Only pickets
are left outside and small squads of
Cossacks III patrolling the streets.
The stores along the principal thor
oughfares are mostly closed and barri-
caded.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press drove up the Nevsky Prospect
and with the help of daylight realized
that the damage done to store fronts
was more considerable than first ap-
peared. A large number of business
premises were wrecked, the mob hav-
ing devoted itself principally to con-
PETITIONERS and pastry cooks.
Enormous crowds of strikers and
many s%ightseers, encouraged by the
mild weather, were promenading the
sidewalks during the morning and the
street cars we're again In operation.
All has been quiet to this hour. The
correspondent of the Associated Press
noticed several men distributing proc
lamations. The people formerly were
shy of accepting such documents; now
they are eagerly accepting them and
have nicknamed them "lastotchke"
("swallows"). The correspondent Sc

Il CHRYsANTHEMUM.


The first chrysanthemum show was
held in Norwich. England. in 1929.
The Philadelphia Horticultural socie-
ty held the first chrysanthemum show
in the United States in 1883.
The first chrysanthemums brought to
Europe were taken from China by skip

After the chrysanthemum is ported
leave it for a little time in the shade.
Then give it all the sun that is possible.
The chrysanthemum was introduced
into England 200 years ago from Chi
ma. 1t was grown first in Holland aft
er its emigration.
The chrysanthemum is one of the
easiest Of garden flowers to grow, but
1t needs careful tending after it is
brought into the house in pots when
the frost comes.

NEWS OF THE WEEK
REVOLT IN ST. PETERSBURG.

Sunday was a day of u~nspeakable
horror in st. Petersburg. The strik-
ers of Saturday, yoaded to despera-
ton by a day of violence, fury and
bloodshed, are in a state Of open in
surrection against the government.
The city is under martial law, with
Prince Vosilchikoff as commander of
over $4,000 of the emperor's crack
guards. Troops are b%ivOuacking in the
streets and at various places on the
Nevsky Prospect, the main thorough
fare of the city. Minister of the 1nte-
rior Sviatopolk- Mirsky presented to
his majesty Saturday night the invita-.
ton of the workmen to appear at the
| Winter palace Sunday afternoon and
receive their petition; but the emper-
or's advisers already had taken a de-
cision to show a firm and resolute
front and the emperor's answer to
100, 900 workmen trying to make their
way to the palace square Sunday vas
a solid array of troops, who met them
with rife. bayonet and sabre. The
priest, Gopon, the leader and idol of
the men, in his golden vestments, hold
ing aloft the cross and marching at the
head of thousands of workmen through
the Narva gate, mira culously escaped
a volley which laid low half a hundred
persons. The figures of the total num-
Der killed OF wounded at the Narva
gate, at the Moscow gate, at various
bridges and islands and at the Winter
palace vary. The best estimate is 500,
although there are exaggerated figures
placing the number as high as 5000.
Following the news of the rioting in
st. Petersburg several factories in
Moscow closed and workingmen there
are repeating the tactics OF their fell
low workmen in st. Petersburg, march
ing from shop to shop and mill to mill,
demanding that the establishments be
shut down. The whole city is report
ed to be in a state of great excitement.
Moscow has more 'workmen and less
troops than st. Petersburg and H~cs;Acs
is just now the heart of 1::a ill.,;
movement and the danger CT ElpG;..tsr
occurrences there than have been wit
messed in st. Petersburg are proper
tfonately greater.
Emperor Nicholas is completely
Frustrated by grief. He is represented
to be almost in a state of collapse over
the situation. In the meantime every
thing awaits his decision. All the
schools are closed. &c..
The sale of petroleum has been for
hidden by the St. Petersburg police to
prevent the possibility of the strikers
attempting to destroy the city by fire.
The vast admiralty works at Sevas-
topol were seriously damaged by fire

New York, Jan. pa strike on the
New York subway system is threat

enough miles of road for the money.
