In progress in the Romanoff maso-
leum in the cathedral Of st. Peter and
st. Paul, where the permanent inter-
ment will occur among the tombs Of
his ancestors. +.
On account of lack Of space in the
masoleum, it was decided last year
henceforth to bury only rulers of the
dynasty in the old masoleum and a
new sepulchre in the new wing of the
cathedral is now being built for other
members of the imperial family.
This, however, is not the only rea-
son for the decision not to bring the
remains to the capital now. Even
Governor General Trepoff has recog-
nized the fact that no precautions can
furnish an absolute guarantee of i'm
munity against an act of terrorism;
and at great funeral. where ancient
custom requires that the emperor and
all of the Romanoff family assemble
and follow the coffin on foot, a single
bomb might wipe out the dynasty.
Gear Not Going to Moscow.
Regard for the personal safety of the
sovereign also has led to the decision
that the emperor shall not go to Mos
cow to attend the funeral of his uncle.
It is possible that no member of the
imperial family will be present on that
occasion except those who are now
within the walls of the Kremlin. Grand
Dukes Constantine and Paul probably
will represent the emperor at the
service. .%e ~
So grave is the danger a repetition
of the Moscow tragedy that several
grand dukes have not stirred outside
of their palaces since the murder and
instead of going to Tsarskoe Selo to
attend the requiem there they have
participated in special services held
In the chapels of their own palaces.
This was the case as regards the
Grand Dukes Vladimir and Alexis.
A special requiem also was held in
the winter palace that Governor Gen
eral Trepoff might attend. General
Trepoff is known to be under sentence
by the fighting organization of the So
cial Revolutionists and as far as can
be ascertained has not left his quar-
tiers in the palace since the assassina-
ton of Grand Duke SERIOUS. -
Dispatches from the interior say
that requiems for the grand duke have
been held throughout Russia. :
Public Greatly Concerned.
The public is greatly concerned over.
the developments of the immediate flu
ture. Other terrorist crimes are gen
orally anticipated. According to re.
ports many cities and towns are In a
condition of political ferment and sew
eral officials have been assassinated
In Southern Russia. According to a
telephone message from Moscow the
students there are afraid to appear on
the streets in uniforms.
In addition the strike situation has
again grown menacing, especially in
the matter of the railroads, three of
which entering Moscow are almost
completely tied up. In st. Petersburg
the strike has assumed the form OF a
lockout, the Putiloff iron works, the
Franco Russian works, the Russo
American rubber works and few
smaller concerns having discharged
all their employees with the notice that
the works will be closed indefinitely.
Consequently there are the most
alarming reports afioat as to what the
men will do. With 10000 or 100000
men out of work for an indefinite ne

Embarrasses the Government.
The closing of the Franco-Russian
and the Putiloff iron works is a serious
embarrassment to the government, as
the former is engaged exclusively on
navy work and the latter in manufac-
turing guns and munitions for the
army. Over 25.00O,000 projectiles and
shrapnel are being prepared at the
Putilof works and the government has
been compelled within the past few
days to place orders In France and
Germany for $125,000,000 worth Of
munitions. At the government-owned
