exclaimed. But as the -pickets ana patrols continued driving off the peo- pie the demonstrators began to give way, and the bitterest insults and oaths, in which the Russian vocabula- ry is particularly rich, became fre- quent.
 We are not Japanese, so why brutalize us? Will you shame the mother who bore you, who was Rus sian like ourselves?' were some of the cries that were heard. Later such ex- positions as 'scoundrels' ''mercena- ries,'' dogs" and worse were heard. student ROasts OfRcials.
 A long Haired student among the crowd hurled an insulting epithet at an officer, who sent a couple of men to arrest him. The crowd tried to rescue the student. but the latter was dragged and kicked across the sun lighted square, his long hair tossing in the wind. The crowd broke into q stream of hoots and misses. Then a young workman jeered at a soldier who applied his rife butt. and with the help of comrades dragged the work man. despite his piteous pleadings, to the lookup.
 Every time the troops moved the crowds hissed them. Strikers also gathered at the entrance of the Grand Morskaia and of the avenue leading to the Moika canal The crowd at the latter place swelled to huge propor- tions, blocking the bridge across the canal. The order came at 1;30 D. m. to clear them off. The colonel com manding the horse guards uttered q short, sharp command; the troopers drew their swords and advanced at q quick trot and then broke in a galiop. heading straight for the Moika. where a.-mA G.. .Vr rs.A rp aarxF Shrieks from the wounded responded. Then came deadly silence broken only by the galloping of ambulance horses.
 The next twenty minutes passed without incident Nothing indicated the approach of the horrible butchery which was destined to stain the corner of the Admiralty Gardens with human blood. The crowd there persisted in refusing to move onS clamoring for the Emperor and continually hurling abuse at the troops, but attempting no vio- lence. The Preobrajesky Guards, of which Emperor Nicholas himself was formerly colonel had been standing at ease in front of the palace, formed and marched at double quick time towards the folorno. The commanding officer shouted, 'Disperse! Disperse." Many in the crowd turned to flee, but 1t was too late.
 Fired With Ball Cartridges. A bugle sounded and the men in the front ranks sank to their knees and both companies fired three volleys, the first two with blank cartridges, and the last with ball. A hundred corpses strewed the sidewalks. Many women were pierced through the back as they were trying to escape.
 The Associated Press correspondent, standing behind the troops, saw man. gled corpses of persons of all ages and both sexes strewing the ground l One boy of 13 had his skull pierced and rent by bullets.
 Great splashes and streams of blood stained the snow. Only, a few of the victims remained alive, for the fatal volley was fired at a distance of not more than twenty paces and so the ann balances had little work to do. The police secured a large number of dros- kys (sleighs) to carry off the dead Heartrending scenes were witnessed, as wives, husbands and mothers came UT to claim their dear ones and were car
 ried off with them in the sleighs l Meanwhile the crowd had drifted ur

 resumed its calm aspect, the troops re-
 turning to their stations.

 Boris, who had driven up in stylish
 sleigh drawn by a magnificent trotter lM. Bompard, the French Ambassador drove past with his wife. As a couple of sauadrons of red capped escuari trotted by, the officers gave the com mand, 'TJJse the flats of your swords.

An other crowd quickly formed outside thu
