been officially decided that the re-
mains of Grand Duke Sergius will not
be brought to St. Petersburg for the
present, but will be placed in q tenn
porary receiving vault Of the cloister
of the Chaudoff monastery, to await
the completion of the alterations now
in progress in the Romano6 mausole-
UNI in the cathedral OF st. Peter and
St. Paul. where the permanent inter-
ment will occur among the tombs OF
his ancestors.
Even Gov. Gen. 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 state funeral, where
ancient custom requires that the en-
peror and all Of the Romano6 family
assemble and follow the coffin on 1oot'
q single bomb might
Wipe Out the Dynasty.
REGARD for the personal safety OF the
sovereign also has led 10 the decision
that the emperor shall not 60 to Mos
COW to attend the funeral Of his uncle.
It is possible that no members OF the
imperial family will be present on the
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.
So grave is the danger OF = repeti'
ton of the Moscow tragedy that sew
eral grand dukes have not stirred out
side Of thor palaces since the muir
der. and instead Of going to Tsarakoe
selo to attend the requiem there. they
have participated in special services
held in the ,chapels Of their palaces.
This was the case as regards the
Grand Dukes Vladimir and Alexis.
TrepofP Under Sentence.
A special requiem also vas held IN
the winter palace. that Gov. Gen. Tre'
pon might attend. Gen. Trepon ID
known to be under sentence by tho
fighting organization Of the Social
Revolutionists. and a. far AZ can be
ascertaiped has NOT loft his quarters
in the palace since the assassination
Of Grand Duke Sergius.
The public is greatly concerned over
the developments OF the immediate
future. Other terrorist crimes are gen.
orally anticipated. According to 70
ports many cities and towns are IN .
condition Of political ferment and sew
eral officials have been assassinated
In Southern Russia. According to
telephone message from Moscow the
students there are afraid to appear on
the streets in uniforms.
Strike Again Menacine.
The strike situation has again
grown menacing, especially in the
matter Of the railroads. three OF which
entering Moscow are almost complete
ly 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 a few smaller con-
Germs having discharged all their en-
ployes with the notice that the works
will be closed Indefinitely. Conse-
ouently there are the most alarming
reports afloat as to what the men will
do. With 10000 or 10000 men out OF
work for an indefinite period, even II
no more Join the ranks Of the idle riot
Ing and collisions with the police are
feared. The closing Of the Franco
Russian and the Putiloff Iron works ID
q serious embarrassment to the gov
eminent as the former is engaged ex'
clusively on navy work and the latter
in manufacturing guns and munttions
for the army
