THE TURBULENCE IN RUSSIA.

though no reports of bloodshed have
yet been received. There was speech
making at almost every corner, the i'm
promptu orators INDUCING in violent
attacks upon the Car and the whole
government. The speakers demanded
the abolition of all titles and class dis
tinctions, and the establishment of
purely democratic regime with a consti-
tutionsl assembly and citizen militia.
The revolutionaries paraded the streets
all night long.
An attempt was made to organize
counter demonstrations in support of the
Car BY moderates, but they did not
succeed. Professions headed by nation
al flags were formed and started through
the Nevsky Prospect, the marchers sing
ing "God Save the Car"
The revolutiOnsries, however, block
cd the way of these professions, shout
ing insulting epithets at the men in line.
A collision seemed inevitable, but just
at the moment when it seemed that the
clash must come, the moderstes broke
ranks and fed in terror. The whole
city was filed throughout the night with
a fearful din, and sleep was impossible.
The situation today undoubtedly is
dangerous. All that is needed is a
Robespierre or a Marat to assume the
leadership to infame the mob into a
mad, destructive horde bent on drench'
ing the city with blood. The working
men seem crazed with what they have al
ready gained, and apparently believe
that if they can only exert little more
pressure the millennium will arrive.
The Gar has issued instructions that
all ladies connected with the court, or
having entree to the court, as well as
all officers Of the guard and navy officers
living in st. Petersburg, shall attend the
Thanksgiving service to be held this
afternoon to commemorate the publica
ton of the manifesto.
NJ. Glassof, Minister of Public In
struction in the Cabinet which will
soon be superseded by the new ministry
of Count Witie, has resigned. He was
one of the leading reactionaries and will
not serve under the new liberal regime.
Troops are on guard everywhere again
today. The university was surrounded
by soldiers and this led to clash with
the students. The latter attempted to
hold a demonstration and the troops
tried to prevent this. The clash which
followed was accompanied by many cas-
uaties.
General Trepof has issued another
warning to the people, notifying them
that as encounters between the people
and the soldiers occurred yesterday, or
ders have been given TO the troops to
suppress all disturbances by the most
vigorous means.
A driving sleet began falling about
2;30 o'clock and this did more to pre-
serve order in the city than all the SOL
diers. The workingmen who had been
thronging the streets we're driven in
doors and the demonstrations came to
stop for the time being.
The strike leaders have instruct
ed their followers to abstain from work
ing until a general amnesty isdecreed. The
radicals have issued statement which
says: THE government is composed of
towards and we have no faith in their
promises. We have already won a vic
tory and shall continue the struggle for
universal suffrage and a constitutional
assembly. We are supported by 5,0OO,-
900 workers, the whole navy and quar-
ter Of the army. Pay no attention to
the governments promises. The Car
has proved unworthy Of our respect"

The situation is more
serious than it has been since the begin
ming OF the strike. The Jews are panic
stricken through their fear OF the police,
because they believe that the soldiers
will not protect them. Conservative
citizens are urging the leaders of the
sOrkiugmen to restrain their followers,
fearing that if the mob ever gets beyond
control, the revolution will assume the
bloody features of she French commune

after a long reign of terror.
A semi-official estimate of the casual

81 killed and 81 wounded.
