burg has been declared in a state OF
siege. General Trepoff, until recently
Chief of Police Of Moscow, has been
appointed GOVERNOR General of St. Pet.
ersburg, and has taken up quarters in
the Winter Palace. Strangely enough,
the only precedent is the case of Gen
eral Thepoff's father, during the reign
of Nihilist terrorism under Alexander
H., and it is also a strange coincidence
that unsuccessful attempts were made
on the lives of both father and son.
The aspect of the Russian capital is
decidedly more calm. Business, which
had been at a complete standstill, has
been resumed upon a limited scale.
The employees in a few of the smaller
factories went back to work, and the
crowds of strikers in the streets were
diminished. The troops in evidence
were not so numerous as a few days
ago, and a more confident feeling exists
in official circles that the energetic
measures will insure the safety and
quiet of the city.
Beneath the surface, however, the
ferment continued, and the public ner-
vousness and apprehension as to the
future developments was still unal-
layed. Secret meetings of different
classes in opposition TO the existing
order of things were held in various
Vla aac Tf1p;,aor Tho offoynnnn ond nuan-
ing, but the divergent elements which
were suddenly brought together by the
recent tragic events are moving on di-
vergent plans, and no common ground
of action has yet been found.
In the meantime the police are ac-
lively searching out the leaders. Three
well-known Russian authors and a
prominent editor were arrested, and the
prisons are filled with agitatOrs, revolu-
tionists and student orators.
Over 100000 men went out in the
old capital Of the Empire.

street.

closed their shops.
