IRVING MAY BE PLACED
 IN WESTMINSTER ABBEY

London, October 16.-That the body of Sir Henry Irving should find a resting place in Westminster Abbey appears to be very general desire. An editorial in this mornings Daily Telegraph says:
 "The nation will, we are persuaded, ask this honor for him with no uncertain voice, and we know we interpret the wishes of the country when we plead for public interment in the abbey"
 The flood of tributes of admiration and affection is increasing. From King Ed- ward downward, men of all classes, in- cluding the great churchmen, are giving public expression to their feelings on the sad occasion, nearly all dwelling as much on Sir Henry Irving's personal character as on his historical talents. It seems to be beyond doubt that Irving sacrificed himself by hard work. He had been ad- vised a long time ago to give up arduous roles, like that of Matthias in 'The Bells owing to the strain thrown on his weak heart, and only last week he had been reluctantly persuaded to omit '"The Bells in future.

.ST.PETERSBURC IS AGAIN STIRRED Police With SabTts Charge on
 Bold Demonstrators RENEWAL IS EXPECTED Newspapers Cannot Appear Because of Strikes and Other Lines of
 Industry Threaten to Be Paralyzed.
RENEWAL IS EXPECTED

St. Petersburg, October 15.-For the first time since the advent of M. Trepoff as head of the government of St. Peters burg, demonstrations on a large scale took place here today, the occasion being the removal of the body of Prince Trou- betskoy to the Nilxolai station for ship ment to Moscow. Students workmen and spectators gathered in thousands in tho streets and demonstrators with red flags paraded boldly through the Nevsky Pros pect, the citys main avenue. The crowds and the processions were several times charged and dispersed by the mounted police, but fortunately with no grave con- sequences The most serious injuries re- ported are those sustained by two men who were slashed with sabres. Fire arms were not employed by the gendarmes or military and though the first collision was provoked by a shot from the crowd. and a few cases of stonlng occurred. the crowds manifested no inclination to re- sist the police and troops.
 Students Arc Exasperated.
 The students are exasperated over tho attacks by the police and the arrest of several members of a coalition committee chosen by student meeting September 26, and a renewal of the disorders is not inns probable
 The serious feature of the situation Id that a strike of printers was declared to- night on political grounds which Is to last for period of three days. but it may be continued longer In case of repressive measures or arrests. A few of the lead- ing daily newspapers hope to be able to issue single sheet giving telegraphic news, but the others will suspend pubhcp4 ton entirely.
 The employees of several factories arc ready to follow the lead of the printerA and the authorities are fully alive ito the danger that the strike may become . general one. '
