was created by a student who scaled the
roof Of the university and attached a red /
Gag to the cross over the entrance.
The following is a sample Of the infam-
matory speeches

your comrades. Go armed with reviewers /
dynamite and bombs. Trepoh Is still in |

II would be fatal to stop now. The em-
peror has yielded because he is not sure
OF the army which, brothers. is with US.
Their swords are on our side. Hurrah for
liberty. Hurrah for socialism.
Counter demonstrat lions took place on the
palace square. where several thousands Of
people bearing white flags knelt on the
cobblestones and sang God Save the EN-
peror," and prayed for the emperor.
People Given Free Rein.
Although admitting that there is sonr
danger in the uncomfortable exuberance
of the people the authorities have decided
to give it the freest rein possible and
only to interfere II public safety is threat
ened.
The old Russians who understand the
| temper OF the people say that II the mani
| festo can arouse such manifestations in
| cosmopolitan indifferent St. Petersburg, the
| people will go mad in the provinces and
there may be a repetition of the scenes
at the coronation which occasioned great
disaster.
General Trepoff, speaking 20 the CORE
spondent of the Associated Press about
the effect of the manifesto said

be content with anything will be unable
to continue the agitation effectively.

colonnades Of the cathedral whose wings.
like st. Peters at Rome, stretch out like
arms on either side. The spectacle was
impressive. In the gathering gloom, the
red banners massed behind speakers on the
cathedral steps seemed like splashes of
blood against the grey, cold imposing
edifice. The orators were mostly students
and workmen. Their appeals kndled the
widest enthusiasm in the crowds which in
cluded hundreds OF workR.en and girl
students. The oratory continued for hours
and while It was in progress a procession
was formed with students at it's head bear

Nevsky Prospect and the Nicholas station,
followed by an immense crowd all singing
and shouting Complete darkness had
settled down before their return.
