ct. Petersburg, Jan. 21.-Moved at
last by the unprecedented demonstra-
consultation with his chief advisers as
to whether it will be advisable for him
to show himself in front of the Winter
Palace when the strikers assemble to
present their final petition. It is said
the czar is inclined to meet the strikers.
His advisers acquiesce in this opinion,
but no final decision has been reached
A regiment Of Uhlans from Peterhof
has been drafted into the Winter Pal
ace. Some guns have also been taken
into the palace courtyard.
The project Of police has today issued
a proclamation warning the public that
he intends to employ force Of arms to
prevent mass meetings and rioting.
The mass meeting on Vassili Ostroff to-
day was called by revolutionary leaders
to .indorse the following propaganda:
Equal political rights for all classes,
from grand duke to workman.
Freedom from search by police.
Freedom Of faith.
Freedom Of speech.
Question whether war with Japan
shall stop or not, to be left to the repre-
sentatives Of the people.
The room in which it was proposed to
hold the meeting has capacity Of only
700, but 10000 gathered in the open
spaces around the building.
The crowd was in high spirits. Many
persons snowballed one another, and
others amused themselves by sliding
about on the frozen street.
The delegations Of strikers that have
been going round the shops today, have
been meeting with success everywhere.
Even the jewelers. workmen are Join
ing. 81 $3.50 49,
Romanoff, tn policeman who was
wounded Jan. 10, is dead.
"A sensational rumor is current that
the soldiers Of the Ismalowsky and three
other regiments, while saying they are
ready to preserve order in the streets,
have openly announced that they will
not shoot at the strikers.

People Are In Terror.
Despite the energetic measures taken
to insure the safety of the city the in
habitants are in a state bordering on
terror.
The widest rumors regarding the in
tentions of the mob are afoat, and
many small retailers did not open their
shops this morning.
An edict has gone forth that no shop
must open tomorrow, when the great
assemblage on the palace square is
scheduled to take place.
Great Demonstration Tomorrow.
Alth9 the authorities seemingly arc
determined to prevent it, preparations
ceeding, the men declaring that they
are ready to die in their tracks.
Father Gopon this morning is going
from place to place organizing and di-
recting everything.
Will Meet, Even If Massacred.
Father Gopon g dictum is that the
meeting shall take place on the palace
square, no matter if it results in mas
sacre Of the men. He says they must
| Do Resolved TO 90 OF Ql6.
It is noteworthy that the leaders are
| going back to the French revolution for
their parallels. The .deputation sent to
| Tsarskoe Selo was the march of the
mob to Versailles The assemblage
| planned for tomorrow is ikened to the
march of the multitude wearing red
| caps Of liberty to the Tuilleries to pre-
sent their demands to Louis XVI.
| Troops Are Reinforced.
| While there is much talk that the
troops may be overawed by the mob,
the authorities do not manifest the
slightest apprehension on this score.
| The Cossacks and the guard regiments,
they declare, can be relied upon. Two
regiments Of infantry have also been
brought here from Riga.
! Nevertheless the authorities are ex-
tremely nervous, realizing that blood
once spilled in the present temper of
the excited men spurred on by social
ist agitators, it is impossible to predict
: the end. The emperor s advisers, how
ever, declare he must put down the agi-
tation with firm hand and that if he
yields as Louis XVI. did, at Versailles,
all may be lost. The present resolution
of the government is not to give way.
Many Revolutionists Arrested.
While many drunken rows have oc-
Cured and number of men have been
injured, no serious collisions have been
reported up to this morning. An
enormous number of arrests of known
revolutionaries took place during the
night.

Chicago Lady Entertainers.

Kryl gave very general satisfaction IN
the opening number of the Citizens En-,
tertainment Course, but the Chicago
Lady Entertainers. Monday evening,
went that musical aggregation n better
in local popular estimation. Their
music numbers, solo, duet and quartette,
were especially enjoyed and appreciated.
Miss Clark's "King Robert of Sicily
was worthful and most of her hearers
would have been pleased to have ex-
changed her "lighter vein" ~monologue
and negro representation for numbers OF
like merit. Miss Hitchcock's soprano
was very sweet and birdlike and her
vocal effort in high and difficult tones
notably easy and smooth. Miss Mer'
GERS rich and low contralto was a delight
and captured a ready approval. Miss
Moorehead accompanied splendidly and
filled strongly as did also Miss Clark in
the quartette work. "The Minuet"
was one of the prettiest and most grace
full numbers McCook audiences have
ever seen. 1t was altogether high-class
and meritorious.

The union Thanksgiving services in
the Congregational church, at 1880
o'clock in the morning, were but in
differently attended. Rev. M. B. Car
man of the Methodist church preached
the sermon, giving ample reasons for a
larger gratitude and thanksgiving than
was evidenced by the attendance. A
splendid solo by Mrs. A. P. Bonnet and
an anthem by the quartette choir were
the enjoyable music features of an oc-
casion which should attract more at
tention, interest and audience.

to mention the superior excellence
of the odors we handle. In addi-
ton to all the best odors made by

we have those Of Reiger, the IA
nous California perfumer, and for
purity in preparation, fragrance,
lasting qualities and the true odor
of the flower, nothing equals
"Pasade "a Rose" "Royal Cherry

where the flowers grow.
