st. Petersburg. Oct 31.--All Russia
today celebrated enthusiastically the
emperor's gift Of freedom which the
greater part of the world received
with deepest joy though in st. Pet
ersburg, Moscow and other cities So
cialists and revolutionists organized
nnti-government demonstrations and
red flag parades. which, with the pat
rlotic manifestations, led TO a number
of conflicts between the REDS" and
whites" as the i-government and
royalist factions are respectively
termed. On the whole, the day
passed more quietly in Russia than
had been expected. Riots are report
ed from Poltava, Kazan and Kishineff,
where two men were killed.
In each of the two capitals, st. Pet
ersburg and MOSCOW, the day was one
such as the Russians never before
have seen.
The slavic people which, during the
long war Just closed and the anxiou
period proceeding the announcement
of the new era of constitutionalism
seemed self-restrained and apathetic
gave itself up fully to the exuberance
of the moment and spent the entire
day in parades and assemblies. which
for the first time in the history of Rus
sia were freely permitted.
Socialists Quick to Act.
The scenes IN st. Petersburg remind
ed the observer of events in an Amer
lean university town after great foot
ball victory, but thousand times
magnified. From early morning the
streets of the capital were filled with
a mass of demonstrators who paraded
up and down the long and broad New
sky Prospect and tramped time and
again the route between the principal
centers Of demonstration, the Kazan
Cathedral and the university. and cor
stantly augmenting, reached a grand
total of fully 100000 people, while
down the Neysdky Prospect late in the
afternoon socialist agitators, consist
ing of both students and workmen,
and members the revolutionary or
ganizatipns jumped into the forefront
Of affairs in st. Petersburg and con-
verted the celebration into a great rev.
Olutionary demonstration. There were
long professions In which hundreds of
red flags were carried and to which ev-
cry one was compelled to doff the hat.

A great majority of the paraders

Reds Rule the Mobs.
Early In the day the "MarSeillaise''
supplanted the national anthem as the
popular marching song. The loyalists
attempted to take the lead against the
socialists and revolutionlsts by organ

carried the red white and blue ban

anthem, but they were driven off the

enmity displayed by the orators
against General Trepoff, the agitators
