Moscow, Monday night, via st. Pc
tersburg, Jan. 2.-Except for the nu-
merous military patrols in the streets
and the pillars of smoke lazily float
ing above the ruins of factories and
houses in the Presna district there is
little to recall the nightmare Of the
past ten days.
As II by magic in "a hours the ap-
pearance of the city has changed. The
stores everywhere have been re-opened
and the streets are crowded with holi.
day shoppers making belated purchases
for the Russian Christmas, which, ac-
eording to the Julian calendar. falls on
Sunday.
AS the early northern night fell, the
guards were doubled, but the electric
street lamps brilliantly lighted he
shop windows reassuring the people
who fingered in merry making with the
careless Indifference of tle Russians
to the dramatic tragedy just ended.
The Presna district, however. pre-
sented another picture. There peo-
pie by the hundreds, who had been
burned out were excitediy searching
the ruins, bemoaning their loss of dear
ones, while the police and the troops
continued their unceasing hunt for
hidden revolutionists.
A batch of Dru1inists, surrounded in
a sugar factory in the suburbs during
the night surrendered this morning
when they found that further resist
ance was useless. The only other war.
like incident was rear attack made
by body of Drujinists ON a detach-
ment Of troops stationed at bridge
with instructions to cover the work of
the firemen. The soldiers when at
tackled turned right about face and
fired a volley, killing three students
and wounding several others.
This was the coldest day of the win
ter, the thermometer registering 1S
degrees below, zero. The roaring
fires at which the pickets are warming
thmselves give a touch of picturesque
ness to the streets.
Two most important captures were
made today--VoIkoff and Mallinooff-
the chiefs of the fighting organization
and members of the national revolu.
tionary committee. The authorities
are promising indemnity for the revela.
tfons of the hiding places of the lead
ers, but only few rebels reveal the
hiding places of their comrades. 1t is
understood the prisoners will be tried
by courtmartial and some of them say
that those caught with arms in their
hands will be given a short snrift
The list of casualties and losses to
property are being compiled at Gov
ernor General Doubassoff's headquar
ters, and are promised tomorrow.
At the bourse today a prominent
manufacturer estimated the damage
done in the burned district at $5,OO0,
900.
The American factories, of which
the New York Air Brake company the
Barry Boiler company and the Singer
Manufacturing company are the prin
cfpal ones, who have not suffered. The
employees of the airbrake company
whose works are situated at Lubertzi
attempted to seize the premises in or.
der to get possession of the explosives
but squadron of dragons was dis
patched to the scene by Governor Dou
bassoff and the troops prevented the
strikers from carrying out their plan
Their leader, who was marching at
the head OF the men was shot down
by the officer in command of tne dra
goons, which caused a panic and the
strikers fed.
Although the strike is off. some fac
tories decided that it is useless to re-
commence work four days before the
Russian Christmas, and have dismissed
their workmen until Jan 21. Most OF
the undamaged factories have resum
ed work. The railroads and steam
ship lines are resuming business.
The directors of the Kazan line have
dismissed every official or other EN-
ploye of the line and are engaging an
entire new force, engaging and using
as a nucleus the worthy veterans The
other roads probably will follow their
example.
