ed Liberation of Political Prisoners
Sc. Petersburg, Jan. 30.--A dynamite
bomb was today thrown at the residence
of the Governor Of st. Petersburg. The
house was partially demolished. The
Governor vas absent at the time.
st. Petersburg, Jan. 30.-The most
complete quiet since the troubles of jan
usry 22 prevails in the Russian capital
today. Though tronble may yet occur
in the provinces, no one expects any
serious recurrence of the disturbances
here, for the present, at least. Now
that the disturbance seems to have been
ended the government is attempting to
fasten the blame on the liberals. The
liberals, however, will hardly be blamed,
as they are not generally connected with
Father Gopon's organization. The gov
eminent intends to foment reyulsion OF
feeling among the uneducated classes OF
the workmen by persistent tales OF how
the more intellectual classes led them
into suffering with no chance of obtain
ing their desires. This, it is expected,
will not only insure continued quiet at
present, but will prove an obstacle in the
way OF arousing future trouble.
Despite the fact that no further trouble
of any extent is anticipated, there is
still az under current Of uneasiness re-
garding the economic outlook. 1t was
thought the majority of the workmen
would return to work this morning, but
this hope Of the employers was moi. real
