st. Petersburg, Dec. 22.-The work
men of two or three of the electric
light plants struck yesterday evening
and as consequence the streets in
that part OF the city were in darkness,
throughout the night, the inhabitants
being compelled to fall back on can

strike, and the cavalry and infantry
patrols guarded every block, machine
guns being stationed at several points.

respondent saw dozens of workmen
between soldiers with fixed bayonets
being marched off to prison. A cache
Of arms and hand bombs was seized
on Schlesselberg Avenue yesterday

Fail to Obey.
The failure of many of the railroad
men Of st. Petersburg to obey the
strike orders and the ability of M.
Nemechaieff, minister of communica-
ton, to move t>ains on all the roads,
except the Baltic roads, are thorns in
the sides of strike leaders The fiat
went forth last night, at meeting
Of the workmens council that traffic
must be interrupted at all costs though
this admittedly will be difficult on the
Nicholas road to Moscow
Trains are running with ordinary
crews on this line but all trains are
heavily guarded. The delegates will
try moral suasion with the faithful
employees but it is feared they will
also resort to destroying bridges
along the road.

ployes have obeyed the strike order
and the roads are tied uD.
