Turmoil in Russia.
Great disorder exists in Russia,
amounting almost to revolution.
A massacre occurred in the streets of
st. Petersburg Sunday. There is
tumult in many parts of the country.
The people seem on the verge of in
surrection, and only the most
repressive measures will prevent an
outbreak so general as to threaten
the monarchy. The starting point Of
the bloody tragedy was strike Of
the thousands of wo4kmen employed
in the great PutiIofE iron works at st.
Petersburg. Their demands for in
creased wages and better con65Gons
having been denied, they went out,
and in sympathy the Workmen' OF
many of the large concerns in the
Russian capital followed. The trouble
grew rapidly until Thousands were
enrolled, and from. D mere struggle
for wages it assumed the aspect of a
political movement having for its
object the end of aEtoeracy. Tn
doubleday, the socialists and eppo-
nents of the government joined their
forces with those of the strikers.
The leader of the pOpnlace was an
orthodox priest, Father Gopoa.. He
drew up a manifesto, asking that the
| car per mit the people to present to
him personally on Sunday a petition
1 setting forth their distress and, theis
demands. These latter embraced q
constitutional government aad, rep
resentation ofeall glasses. Apparently
the authorities did n othing ia. repress
the trouble, and p1rposely allowed i
to grow SO as, to deal it a. erushiAe
blow. Large numbers of soldieay
! drawn from, distant parts, of In,
empire, were stationed in the city 81
as to defend the palaces and cover al
the approaches An impression pre-
vailed that the troops would ret fir
on the people, in case of trouble
