\ ST. PETERSBURG IN PANIC.
|. .wiId Rumorn Fill Air and Holocaust is
 Looked For.

st. Petersburs. Dec, 2. p. n.. via Berlin. Dec. S.--Intenge alarm prevails here Communication with the outer world by telegram ceased tliis morning when tue EiEuish operators joined their Russian comrades. The embas- sies, legations and banks are hastily organizing courier service to both the Finnish and German frontiers. The population Is almost in state of panic. fearing that the railroads will stop running and that the inhabitants will have no mode of flight in the event of cataclysm. which they seem to fear Is imminent.
 Stories of the spread of dissatisfac- ton in the regiments are in every body's mouth and the revolutionaries continue to boast that the troops will no longer fire on the people, The news boys were openly hawking fly sheets in the streets, giving an &C., count of an alleged revolt at Tsarkoe- Selo, and crying out The Emperor's palace guard has mutinied." Accord. ing to information. the only foundation for the stories is the arrest of the sol- diers of the guard at Tsarkoe-Selo Thursday. Nevertheless. in their ex- cited state, the people give ready cre- dence to all rumors and this adds to the alarm. The air is also filled with
 
 palace Friday, in which Grand Duke Boris Is said to have attempted the life of the Emperor. These stories likewise are untrue. but they prove that a revolution in the palace Is con. sidered possible at any time.
 This situation has greatly increased grounds for fear of financial crash, The commercial interest are with drawing their money from banks, con-
 h1o osrAt drawing foreign exchange which the State bank is issuing upon the foreign balances of the Government. Exchange on Lcndon yesterday rose to 9.50, over a rouble above the normal.
 The Associated Press has just learned from a high authority that the situa- ton in the Baltic provinces has grown exceedingly grave and that the troops at Reval and in the neighborhood are in open mutiny. This was the real cause of the extraordinary cabinet meeting which was held at Tsarkoe- seIo last night. All attemptk to secure details of the uprising havS thus far failed.
 According to reports, the attitude of the troops in the Baltic Provinces is regarded by the Government as the most dangerous factor that has thus far developed
 A strike of the policemen and house norters of St. Petersburg is scheduled for Monday.
 Count witte continues to refuse to deal with the telegraphers. and de- cIares that for the Government to yield would be equivalent to it's abdication at their order.
 Nevertheless, the surrender of the Government to their demand for the dismissal of M. Durnivo, acting Minis ca. ns inc Interior, Is regarded as in- cvitshIe Instructions to the Governors ana the local authorities are being sent with great dificulty over the railroad telegraph lines.

St. Petersburg, Saturday evening, Dec. 2, by courier to Eytdekuhnen, East Prussia, Dec. 3-There is perceptably a more confident feeling in Government circles tonight.

This will leave the hands Of inc Government free to deal with the telegraphists.
 M Seventianoff. superintendent Of nests and telegraphs, tonight issued a notice to all telegraph and post em- nioves that unless they returned to work they would be discharged and their places filled.
 The prefect of St. Petersburg, General DedIovlin, also issued a proclamation warming walking delegates and agita- tors that any attempt to dissuade em- ployes either of private or public con- cerns, by threats of violence to leave factories, mills or public institutions would lead to their arrest and the im-
