RED flags waved
CROWDS GATHERED LAST
SUNDAY In ST. petersburg.
Were Driven Away by cossacks With.
out Resorting to Much Foree-Large
Forces Of Troops Held in Readiness
Pistol Shot Caused Panic at Fun.
eraI-Mourners Driven Away.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 16.-Red flag
demonstrations in the Nevsky Pros
pect Sunday afternoon drew out i'm
mense crowds of spectators, but a
squadron of gendarmes and Cossacks
drove the demonstrators away without
resorting to force.
Large forces of troops were held in
readiness in the courtyards of the bar
racks and in the squares in various
parts of the city to deal with any dis
orders.
From the Nevsky Prospect band of
students and workmen carrying red
flags and chanting revolutionary
songs, marched across the river and
began an open air meeting in the
squares in front of the university.
While the speeches were in progress
the police again charged and dispersed
the crowds.
The body of the late Prince Trou-
betskoy was conveyed to the Nocholai
station for removal to Moscow. A vast
multitude and Populations of students
followed the cortege. When the pro-
cession was nearing the station a
squadron Of gendarmes appeared and
at the same moment a revolver shot
rang out in the crowd, causing a
panic. The gendarmes drew their
swords and charged and dispersed the
crowd of mourners and spectators, who
departed quietly in all directions.
The students are exasperated over
the attacks by the police.
The serious feature of the situation
is that strike of printers has been
declared on political grounds, which is
to last for period Of three days, but
it may be continued longer in case of
repressive measures or arrests.
The employees of several factories
are ready to follow the lead of the
printers, and the authorities are fully
alive to the danger that the strike may
become general one.

WEEK OF AWFUL CRIMES.
Twenty-Six Homicides Recorded Il
Mississippi.


Mobile, Ala, Oct. 16.-During the
week just closed there have been rs
homicides in Mississippi, which equals
the worst weekly record of the year.
Sunflower county gets the credit for
six of these killings within period
of two days; Kinds county has three,
one of justifiable nature; Simpson
county has two, and the remainder are
scattered over the state.
Mississippi's criminal record this
year has been horrible to contemplate.
It exceeds by far any record of pre-
vious years or in the days Of recon-
struction. In some counties, especial
ly where there is large negro popula-
ton, human life is SO cheap that men
are murdered on public roads and high
ways without fear of the future.

lost and more lnan 80 persons injured,
one fatally, others seriously, on the
Cunard liner Campania, last Wednes-
day, when a gigantic wave rolled over
the steamer and swept across a deck
thick with steerage passengers. So
sudden was the coming Of the disaster
and so great the confusion which at
tended and followed it, that even the
officers of the steamer themselves
were unable to estimate the full ex-
