Rirat Yotara, Pa.trYala.

Boston's first voters festivals have
been made the initiatory degree given
young men just assuming the duties
OF citizenship. 1t 10 arranged for
annually by league Of citizens whose
function it is to look after first voters.
The young citizen just about to ex-
ercise bis rights as an elector is in
vited to q meeting at old Faneuii hall,
Boston's famous cradle OF liberty.
Here he listens to addresses BY good
citizens ON the duties Of young Amer
leans. After the address the audi.
ence OF young voters rises and recites
in unison pledge which so long ago
as l64S was the ireeman's oath In
Massachusetts Bay:
II do solemnly bind myself that
will give my vote and suffrage IS l
shall Judge in mine own conscience
may best conduce to the public veal,
SO help me God"
There is no attempt to make plat
form or to teach party creeds. Til
voter Is given instruction in the
duties Of citizens, and in him are in
stilled the ideals Of patriotism. De-
votion to country, cause and duty is
aimed at. Specific reforms are not
touched upon. The sense Of individ-
ual responsibility is cultivated, and
the voter made to feel that he has be-
gun to share in that responsibility.
The young men are thus led by the
elders. And the young mans nature
responds to the appeal. He is more
easily moved and has greater faith
in things than is possessed by one
whose ideals and faith have been shat
tered by later experiences. The
young men have no more virtue than
the old men. but they have that re-
sponsiveness and adaptability which
can be made powerful influences for
good government. The best that is
in them is none too good for the needs
OF the times. And whatever secures
the best, elevates government.

SOLDIERS JOKE AND
BANTER EACH OTHER.

When the Associated Press correspon-
dent arrived at the palace square early
this morning he found a considerable
crowd of demonstrators already lining
the ratings of the admiralty garden
and the boulevard The square Itself
presented the appearance of a military
encampment. Several companies of the
Davlovsky and Preobrajensky guards had
piled their arms, while the men were
sitting around camp fires or stamping
on the snow to keep warm. Beyond the
infantry stood squadrons of the chevalier
guards and the horse guards. without
their lances, curasssts In the usual gay
trappings The men carried carbnes
slung across their shoulders, and their
! stirrups were covered with felt or straw
to keep of the cold. All the soldiers wore
bashliks or hoods to protect their ears
from the keen. piercing wind. A field
kitchen steamed merily, disseminating
the fragrant odor of viands. Many of the
men wrestled or boxed, cracking jokes
as one rolled on the snow. A whole row
of ambulances drawn up near the palace
served as a grim reminder of the stern
business on hand.
Meanwhile pickets were stationed at
all the entrances of the palace and cav
airy patrols kept promenaders moving
along the sidewalks. Sleigh traffic contin-
ued uninterrupted till the time came for
the cavalry to charge. The crowd OF
strikers in and outside the admiralty
gardens continued to grow hourly swelled
by arrivals from the NevslSy Prospect
which touches upon the boulevard skirt
ing the gardens.

CROWDS CONTINUALLY
HISS THE TROOPS.

Every time the troops moved the crowds
Kissed them. Strikers also gathered at
the entrance of the Grand Morskaia and
of the avenue leading to the MoiSai canal.
The crowd at the latter place swelled to
huge proportions, blocking the bridge
across the canal. The order came at 1870
D. m. to clear them off. The colonel COM
handing the horse guards uttered a short,
sharp command; the troopers drew their
swords and advanced at a quick trot and
then broke into gallop, heading straight
for the Moikai, where they were lost in
a cloud of snow. Shrieks from the wound
ed resounded. Then came a deadly silence
broken only by the galloping of am
bulance horses.
The next twenty minutes passed without
incident. Nothing indicated tho approach
of the horrible butchery which was des-
tined to stain the corner of the Ad-
miralty gardens with human blood. The
crowd there persisted in refusing to move
on, clamoring for the Emperor and con-
tinually hurting abuse at the troops but
attempted no violence. Two companies
of the Preobrajenslsy guards, of which
Emperor Nichalos himself was formerly
colonel, which had been standing at ease
in front of the palace. formed and
marched at double quick towards the
fatal corner.

Paris, January 22.-The news Of the
bloody events in st. Petersburg has
caused a profound sensation here. The
newspapers issued special editions
throughout the evening, giving dramatic
details of the street fighting, and these

public places, the tragedy being the uni
versal subject of comment.
The newspaper offices were surrounded
by crowds, awaiting eagerly bulletins.
Officials here have received advices prac-

1t Is pointed out that the fate of Russia

peoples temper.
Some of the special dispatches from
upon the unexpectedly determined atti-
tude displayed by the Russian workmen
yesterday, revealing a new phase in the
character of the patient masses. Many
special correspondents give extravagant
reports. For instance, the correspondent
of the Daily Mail says that 10000 people
arch on the confines of ST. Petersburg
with six volleys and that a thousand
fell dead and 1900 were wounded Other
correspondents state that the workmen

BL OODY EVENTS CAUSE
BIG SENSATION IN PARIS

Nicholas II. and King Louis XVI. on the
eve of the reign OF terror. After a care
full analysis of the situation, the corre-
spondent concludes that most of the mill
tary forces of Russia will remain loyal
to the Emperor, although he foresees
prospects of some of the artillery regi-
ments playing the same role that the
regiments of the French guards took on
the fall of the bastile at the outbreak
of the French revolution. The corre-
spondent also points out that Emperor
Nicholas withdrawal to Tsarskoe-Selo
places twenty-one kilometres between
him and the excited populace.
The prevailing tone here is one of awe
at the magnitude of the horror. The
socialist journals do not disguise a strong
sentiment in favor of the people and Of
