SCENES WERE WITNESSED.
Hideous and piteous scenes were
witnessed as wives, mothers and hus-
bands came up to claim their dear
ones and were carried OF with them in
sleighs. Meanwhile the crowd had
drifted up the Nevsky Prospect, yell
Ing "Murderers, murderers," and the
square resumed its calm aspect.
It was now the turn for the crowds
stationed at the Maskaia entrance to

pie pell nell down the thoroughfare.

There was q very dramatic scene at
the Narva gate when Father Gopon,
In golden vestments, bearing aloft an
tkon and flanked by two clergymen
carrying religious banners, approached
at the head of the procession of 5000
workmen. Troops were drawn up
across the entrance. Several times an
officer called upon the procession to
stop, but Father Gopon did not falter.
Then an order was given to fire, first
with blank cartridges. Two yolleys
rang out, but the line still did not
waver. Then, with seeming reluc-
lance, an officer gave the command to
load with ball, and the next volley was
followed by shrieks and cries of the
wounded. AS the .Cossacks followed

men fed before them, leaving about
100 dead or wounded. It was evident
that the soldiers deliberately spared
Father Gopon. One of the clergymen
by his side was wounded, but Gopon
escaped untouched and hid behind a
wall until the Cossacks passed. and
he was spirited away by workmen.

also that 10000 or 10000 armed strik-

HORRIBLE BuTcHERY CAME
u, WITHOUT LEAST WARMING

The next twenty minutes passed
without incident. Nothing indicated
the approach of the horrible butchery
which was destined to stain the cor
ner Of the admiralty gardens with hui
man blood. The crowd there refused
to move on, clamoring for the emper-
or, but attempting no violence. Two
companies of the Proebranjensky
guards, of which Emperor Nicholas
himself was formerly colonel, formed
and marched at double quick towards
the fatal corner. Events then follow
ed with awful swiftness. The COM
manding officer shouted: "Disperse,
dispense, dispense" IT,:
Many of the crowd turned to flee
but 1t was too late. A bugle sounded
and the men in the front ranks sank
to their knees and both companies
fired three volleys, the first two with
blank cartridges and the last with
ball. A hundred corpses strewed the
sidewalks. Many women were pierced
through the back az they were trying
to escape. Mangled corpses of per-
sons of all ages and, both sexes strew-
ed the ground. Great splashes Of
blood stained the snow. Only few
OF the first lines made their escape,
for the fatal volley was fired at dis
lance of not more than twenty PAGES,
80 the ambulances had little work to
do. The police requisitioned large
number Of sleighs to carry OF the
