SLAUGHTER BEGAN IN THE PALACE
SQUARE, BACK OF WINTER PALACE

St Petersburg, Jan. 22.-The most
narrowing scenes of the day occurred
around the palace square. This enor-
nous place back of the Winter palace
is surrounded by gardens fronting the
admiralty and by a vast emi-circuIar
building containing the Offices of the
general staff, the ministry of finance
and the foreign Office. In the center of
the block is cut an aTched gateway
surmounted by bronze quadriga. The
gateway serves as an entrance to the
grand Morskaia, one of the most fash
iCnable streets in the city, which
crosses the Nevsky prospect. Beyond
the Semi-circular building is a wide
space leading TO the MOika canal, and
beyond this stands an enormous square
building, the headquarters of the St
Petersburg military district. From
thence Grand Duke Vladimir had is
sued orders for the whole military prep
arations directing the days opera tons
H. the center of the square stands an
enormous granite column supporting a
statue of Victory, COMMUNICATING the
defeat of the Napoleonic invasion, at
which a veteran guard of the uniform

Crowds Gathered Early.
When the Associated Press CORE

early this morning he found a consid-
cradle crowd of demonstrators already
lining the ratings of the admiralty gar
den and the boulevard. The square

military encampment- Several compa-

squadrons of the Chevalier guards and
the horse guards. without their lances,
cuirasses or the usual gay trappings
The men carried carbines slung across
their shoulders, and their stirrups were
covered with felt or straw to keep off
the cold. All the soldiers wore bashIika

The military authorities had a firm
