ST.. PETERSBURG. Jan. "a Force still
holds the rebellious nation in check, par
ticularly in thia city The situation cannot
change in this respect 80 long as the
Government il able to control the troops.
The useless resistance was repeated
to-day by several thousand workmen fif-
teen miles away. 1t il not yet known how
many lives were offered up in this hopeless
sacrifice.
II IL ptiful feature of this last ira gedy
that the victims are those who still retained
faith in the fugitive Gar and again sought
to reach him to tell the story of their mis-
cries. Those who abandoned all allegiance
and remained behind to devise means OF
vengeance are plotting in security
Il was reported from semi-official
source this afternoon that the Gar had
done the right thing too late in consenting
20 receive a deputation. This statement
IL not confirmed at the present writing,
II makes little difference now whether 1t
is true or false for he will never regain
the personal loyalty of his subjects which
il the only safe foundation Of the throne.
No news from other parts Of the empire
Is allowed to reach the public, but the
Ministry Of the Interior has received many
dispatches from Moscow. Seyastopol,
Odessa and KieG All tell of serious up
risings and in some cases Of the refusal
Of the troops to oppose the populace.
1t ia the latter feature that is causing the
authorities alarm, Disanection among the
81 Petersburg garrison is too slight, so
far as il known, TO cause anxiety.
FATHER oAPoN CURSES THE CAR
Father Gapon is at liberty but is in hid
ing Inactive he is not. No fewer than
three letters Of his have been circulated
at secret meetings The following IL an
exact translation Of his epistle to the Rus
sian Army:
Against the soldiers and officers who are
staying their innocent brothers, together
with their wives and children. and against
all oppres-or- Of the people / utter my
pastoral cure Upon the soldiers who
help the ma. 10 win liberty | invoke
a blessing. and from the military oath Of
allegiance which they took to the trail
torous Gar, at whose behest the blood
of innocent people was shed. | do hereby
abeolve them GEoRGE GAPoS.

A letter addressed 10 operatives says:
BROTHERS AND WoRRMEN: Innocent
blood Of the people has been spilled. We
harbor within us sentiments OF bitterness
and vengeance against the bestial Car
and the jackals his Ministers, and. believe
me, the day il very near when host OF
workingmen will rise mp more menacing,
more conscious and like one man will
strike for their own freedom and the free
dom of all Russia
Weep not for the slain heroes. Be
oonforted Beaten we have been, but
not conquered Let us tear up all portraits
Of the bloodthrsty Gar and say to him.
Be thou acoursed, with all thy most reptile
blood. GEORGE GAPoN'
Priest.
The most vehement OF the three letters
IN part il "a follows:
Brothers and workngmen, whose chalice
has been filled with blood:
we intended to go peacefully 10 the
Car with a petition on Jan. p or this
our intention we informed his Nameuke
Ministers beforehand requesting them
to with draw the troops and not to hinder
~ from approaching our monarch. To the
Emperor himself forwarded a letter on
Jan. 10 requesting him to come forth to
his people with grateful heart and cour-
ageous soul. At the price Of our own lives
We guaranteed him inNolabihty Of his
person.
And what came Of it, Innocent blood
was none the less shed The miscreant
Gar and hs malicious officials who are
robbers Of the treasury and plunderers
Of the Russian nation, deliberately re-
solved TO beat and massacre our unarmed
brothers their wives and children. The
bullets Of the Emperor's troops, which at
Narva street killed workingmen who were
bearing the Emperor's portraits, pierced
