ST PETERSBURG Nov 12.-3:aO a. M
The groundless nature OF the alarmist re-
ports that a st. Bartholomew massacre
would take place last night was demon
strated when the hours passed without the
slightest development OF mob spirit The
only sign OF anything out Of the ordinary
was that the Jewish stores were shattered
up earlier than usual in several streets and
localities which rumor assigned as the
scenes for footing and Jew batting. STU
dents in uniform avoided these quarters and
the frequent military patrols indicated that
the authorities realized the necessity of
preventing any outbreak in the capital
An unconfrmed report was in circula-
ton late last night in the newspaper Offices
that Cossacks had fred on a crowd OF
roughs in a suburb beyond the Moscow
gate, but this was later authoritatively
denied Prince Bvoh. the Moscow 1emsts-
voist and one OF the leaders of the consti-
tutional democrats. has issued reassuring
announcement declaring that the rumors
Of organized Black Hundreds were almost
entirely myths.
In an effort TO pacify the country and end
the fratricidal strife Count WHITE has en-
listed the aid of the church and the holy
synod, which. under the direction of Prince
Alexis Obolensky, has issued an encyclical

Condition I'm Poland.
The declaration OF martial law through
Poland is evidence Of the determination
OF the government to try to nip in the bud
the movement to regain the autonomy
which the kingdom of Poland possessed

pressed after the revolution OF 1858 The
ease with which the Firms. striking at the
opportune moment. compelled the govern
/ ment to make q complete surrender. en-
/ couraged the Poles to attempt a similar
stroke, and the government has received
advices that leaves no doubt that a con-
! spiracy was organized to attain this end.
| The leaders of the movement propose 20
adopt the tactics followed In Finland. The
government will resist to the utmost. Count
witte himself believes that II the govern
meat is forced at this jupcture TO grant
autonomy to Poland It might mark the
beginning of the ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF the
empire. The hope OF the government is
that the Poles are striking too late. as
the railroads throughout Russia have re-
sumed operations and the transportation Of
troops is possible. Nevertheless the gov

a med uprising as 1t is a question whether
the government is strong enough to attempt

revol; Itionary elements OF the people
The demand for the leveling OF all ranks
and the aboishing of priviledged caste,
which was the chief characteristics
of the early days OF the French
revolution, has seized upon the Rus
sian people and even the town coun-
ell Of ST. Petersburg, in response to numer-
Gus petitions, has requested the govern
ment to abrogate the rule by which the
center OF the Nevsky Prospect and other
fashionable thoroughfares are kept free for
the private carriages of the aristocracy,
thus crowding the public carriages to the
curbs.
