 sacks.


 greater part of people received with deepest joy though in St. Petersburg, Moscow and other cites Socialists and Revolutionists organized anti-govern- ment demonstrations and red flag pa rades, which, with the pacific manifes- tatfon, led to & number of conflicts between the reds and whites, as the anti-government and Royalist factions are respectively termed. On the whole, the day passed more quietly in Russia than had been expected. though coi- lisions between the people and troops are reported from Paltova, Kazan and Kishineff.
 In each of the two capitals. St. Petersburg and Moscow. the day was one such as the Russians never before have seen. The Slavic people, which during the long war just closed. and the anxious period preceding the an- nouncement of the new era of consti- tutionaIism, seemed self-restrafned and apathetic, gave itself up fully to the exurberance of the moment and spent the entire day in parades and assem- plies, which for the first time In the history in Russia were freely permit ted.
 Under the orders of Count Witte and General Trepoff, troops generally were withdrawn from the streets of the cities and the fullest rein was given the people to let out their enthusiasm in demonstrations which so long as they did not destroy, were not in- terfered with.
 It was a significant omen that after a fortnight of gloomy and depress- ing weather, symbolic of the days of the strike, the sun shone out brightly today in St. Petersburg and brought a. radiant Indian summer day
 Demonstrators Fill Streets.
 The scenes in St. Petersburg re- ha nf a n American university after great foot ball victory. but thousand time mag nified. From early morning the streets of the capital were filled with mass of demonstrators who paraded up and down the long and broad Nevsky Pros- pect and tramped time and again the route between the two principal cen- ters of demonstration. the Kaxan Ca thedral and the University, and, con- stantly augmenting, reached a grand total of 100000 persons while on the Nevsky Prospect, late in the afternoon, Socialist agitators, consisting of both students and workmen and members of revolutionary organizations, jumped into the forefront of affairs in St. Petersburg and converted the celebra- tion into a great revolutionary demon- stration.
 There were long processions in which hundreds of red flags were carried ana to which every one was compelled to doff his hat. A great majority of the paraders Haunted on the lapels Of their coats rosettes and streamers of crimson ribbon, and Socialist orators delivered fiery orations from the balconies of the university and the portico of the Cathe- dral, or wherever they could gather au- diences.
 They declared the concessions of the Emperor's manifesto were insufficient and that they must have the freedom Of all political prisoners, the formation of a national militia and the punishment of General Trepoff and all the troops under his command twenty miles from the capital
 MarselIaise Succeeds Anthem.
 Early in the day the "Marsellaise" supplanted the national anthem as the popular marching song. The loyalists attempted to take the lead against the Socialists and revolutionists by organ izing counter parades in which they car ried the red. white and blue banners of Russia and chanted the national an- them. but they were driven off the New sky Prospect by the overwhelming numbers of the Reds" every time they appeared.
 In the early part of the day great crowds of spectators filled the broad sidewalks and remained until the dem- onstrations assumed so turbulent a character that the well intentioned class fled to their homes and the mer- chants hastily boarded up the windows of their stors and shops and barred the doors, fearing an outbreak which might result in pillage and destruction. Such an outbreak. however. did not oo. cur and the day closed without serious collisions.
 The major portion of the citizens, tired out by the long celebration of the first day of Russian freedom, went to haA r1p af Prospect was deserted except for crowds of roughs armed with clubs, who paraded the avenue singing the national anthem as well as revolution ary songs and who had frequent col lisions with each other during which shots were fired.
 The most serious encounter during the day took place near the barracks . of the Seminoff regiment, where a 2 crowd of demonstrators, in attempting to march to the Pathological Insti- ute. was stopped by troops. Shots were fired on both sides with the result the one man was killed and ten wouded. A prominent lawyer and a professor were wounded in a collision at the Polytechnic Institute.
 Refused to Salute Red Flag.
 Another fatality resulted from the demands by the crowds that hats be doffed before the red flag. An officer. WnO TeIuscu to ooey the demand, was set upon and beaten with the spaffs of flags when he drew his revolver and fired a number of shots, killing one person.
 In an affray at the Putiloff Works be- tween strikers and non-strikers, sev- eral men were badly beaten Ten or twelve were wounded in the conflicts on the Nevsky Prospect.
 During the evening rumors of col lisions resulting in heavy fatalities attained wide circulation. but the As sociated Press is unable to confirm them, and it is officially stated that be- yond the fatalities mentioned above, no one was killed today. The authorities, however, are more apprehensive for to- morrow, when the liquor shops, which for the most part were closed today, will be opened. and when the agitators. after a days incendiary speeches. may be able to work e portion of the pop
