The Express correspondent says:
The dowager empress left the winter
palace on Sunday for Tsarskoe Selo,
but after leaving the square the atti-
tude of the people became very threat
ening and she took refuge in the resi-
dence Of Prince Gatschina and a. mob
threw stones at the windows. Later
she returned to her own palace. The
empress did not go to Tsarskoe Selo
until this morning.

The revolution has begun in earnest.
The capital is literally city dreadful.
| Revolution, challenged with massacre,
has replied with dynamite. Every
where in the suburbs where there are
soldiers or public buildings, bombs are
being thrown.
A state Of siege prevails and orders
have been issued that people who leave
their houses do SO at the risk of being
shot. Many of the frightened inhabl-
tants are flying from the city or barri-
cading themselves in their homes, while
others are marooned in the hotels.
Armed men are reported to be march
ing from various quarters.
There seems to be every prospect Of
great revolution, and this unhappy
city is threatened with reign Of ter
TOR that may equal the French revolu-
ton. The dowager empress, that re-
lentless opponent of reform, has fled.
