Details of the Rioting and BIoodshed
in Front of Palace.
st. Petersburg, Jan. 23.-With hun
dreds of men, women and children shot
down. one regiment in revolt and bar
ricades building In many streets Sun
day was one of unspeakable horror In
st. Petersburg.
The strikers, goaded to desperation
by day Of violence. fury and blood
shed, were in q state OF open insur-
rection against the government.
A condition almost bordering on civil
war exists in the terror stricken Rus
sian capital. The city Is under mar
tial law, with Prince Vasilchikoff as
commander of over $4,000 Of the en-
peror's crack guards. Troops are biv-
ouacking in the streets and at various
places on the Nevski prospect, the
main thoroughfare of the city.
On the island Of Vassili Ostrov and
in the industrial quarters, infuriated
men have thrown up barricades, which
they are holding. The empress dowa-
ger has hastily sought safety at Tsars-
koe Selo, where Emperor Nicholas IL.
is living.
Minister of the Interior Sviatopolk-
Mirsky presented to his majesty Sat
urday night the invitation of the
workrnen to appear at the Winter pal
ace Sunday afternoon and receive their
petition. but the emperors advisers al
ready had taken decision to show
firm and resolute front, and the en-
peror's answer to 100000 workmen try

sabre.
Gopon Escapes a Voiley.
The priest. Gopon, the leader ana
idol of the men. in his golden vest
ments, holding aloft TIE cross and
marching at the head o. thousands OF
workmen thru the Narva gate, escaped
volley which laid low half hundred
persons.
The figures of the total number kill

at the Moscow gate, at various bridges
and islands and at the Winter palace,
vry. The best estimate is five hun
dred, altho there are exaggerated hg-
ures placing the number as high as
five thousand.
Many men were accompanied by
their wives and children. and in the
confusion which left no time for dis
elimination, the latter shared the fate
of the men.
The troops, with the exception of a
single regiment, which is reported to
have thrown down its arms, remained
loyal and obeyed orders. But the blood
which crimsoned the snow has fired
of Stvi<arS
and turned women as we'll as men into
wild beasts, and the cry of the fnfuriat-
ed populace is for vengeance.
The sympathy of the middle classes
is with the workmen.
If Father Gopon. the master mind Of
the movement. aimed at open revolu-
ton. he managed the affair like gen
ius to break the faith Of the people in

factories joined the strike which spread
works in the city. AT the same time
the demands of the men increased.
These were formulated in writing,
mostly by Father Gopon. The employ
ers discussed the demands and decided
that If some of them were satisfied 1t
could not fail to ruin industry, while
others deserved to be examined and
partly conceded. Furthermore a will
ingness was expressed to negotiate
with the men but not with strikers or
CARNATIONS. The workmen refused to
agree to it and violated negotiations
factories. AS the strike was being con-
Quoted without disturbance of public
order no repressive measures were
adopted and not a single person was
| arrested. The agitation of the Work
mems Association was, however, soon
joined by the agitation of revolutionary
circles. On the morning of the 21st
Father Gopon drew up petition Of the
workmen to the emperor, which con-
tanned besides demands in behalf of
the men, insolent demands of politi-
cal character. Among the workmen
verbal and written notifications were
circulated urging the necessity for
meeting on the morning Of the 22nd on
palace square, In order, thru Gopon to
submit the petition to the emperor. One
of the demands was of political char
acter and the real purpose of the meet
Ing was concealed from the workmen
The fanatical speeches which Gopon
forgetting his clerical dignity, address
I'd to the men and criminal agitation
excited the men to such an extent that
on the 22nd large crowds proceeded
20 the center of the city. AT some
| points bloody collisions occurred be-
| tween them and the troops, in conse-
| 1uence of their refusal to obey police
regulations or owing to their direct at
tacks on the troops and the latter were

at the military.

In the vassili Ostroff quarter at mid
night the men abandoned the few bar

Word was passed around by the lead
ers to remain quiet for the present and
await developments. A morning tour
by the correspondent OF the Associated
Press showed that Gordon of troops
barred the entrances Of the city from
the big industrial sections. The

Armed Resistance.
Rumors We're current that the strik-
ers proposed to proclaim general at
tack on property and inaugurate a
reign of anarchy, but labor leaders de-
MED this In most vigorous terms. One
of Father Gopon's lieutenants declar-
ed the leaders of the strikers had re-
solved to preach the gospel of armed
resistance and the overthrow Of auto
cracy, but that 1t did not carry with
1t the threat of pillage or attack on
property. No newspapers have APP
peared since Friday, except the Off
cial Messenger containing the govern
ment orders, which is printed under
military protection. Official accounts
of yesterdays affairs We're posted on
all the bulletin boards. The strikers
who came to read spat upon them. 1t
is reported at one of the meetings in
the early hours this morning some
striker leaders discussed the advisable
ity of sending delegations to various
powers for protection, but no action
was taken. The situation continues
very critical The military have the
upper hand in st. Petersburg and so
long as the troops remain true they
can crush any attempts at resistance
in the capital. But the eyes of all
are turned toward the interior for the
effect which the news will produce in
the big centers. Considerable excite
ment exsists at Moscow, but no open
demonstration has been reported.

Souadrons of Cossacks with lances and
carbines patrolled the thoroughfares as
the least disturbance. AT noon the
troops again marched into the palace
square where people were once more
trying to collect. All the grand dukes
palaces are strongly guarded. st. Pet
ersburg has often witnessed riotins,
clearing streets of demonstrators and
Cossacks' charges with whips and
sabres, but the bloodshed of yesterday
is unparalleled in it's history and the
many stories OF brutality told by the
populace seem to have convinced them
that a program of deliberated blood
letting was planned to overawe the
strikers. This is most Indignantly de-
MED by the authorities. who protest
most earnestly that they regret the
situation compelled such stern meas
ures They say order had to be res
tored or the city would have fallen in
TO the hands of a mob. The sale OF
petroleum has been forbidden, by the
police to prevent the possibility of
the strikers attempting to destroy the
city by fire.
