St. Petersburg, Jan. 25-Enormous crowds of strikers and many sight seers were walking the sidewalks this morning and the street cars were again in operation. All has been quiet up to this hour.
 The correspondent of the Associated Press noticed several men distributing proclamation. People were formerly shy of accepting such documents; now they are eagerly accepting them and have nicknamed them "Lastochke' 1 tswallows) an allusion to spring which became synonym of revolution. The correspondent secured a number of co. lies They are all signed by "The Rus sian Social Democrat Labor Party" One proclamation dated Jan. 22 reads: "COmrades: So long as auto cracy exists no improvement in our condition is possible. Therefore we continue to inscribe on our banners the following demands: The immedi- ate cessation of the war The sum moning of a constitutional assembly of representatives of the people elected by universal and equal suffrage and a di rect and secret ballot. The removal of class and race privileges and restric- ttons. The inviolability of person and dQmiciIe. Freedom of conscience.

Long live the constituent assembly of the represent atives of the people" A third proc lamation appeals to the people not to attempt to iniure private property.
