st. Petersburg, July 21.-The Rus
sian capital witnessed FRIDAY night
scenes of the widest turmoil follow
ing the first overt act of the govern
ment in enforcing the program which
it has adopted in view of the passage
Of the duma early Friday morning
Of the address to the people.
The rapidly strengthening influence
in the government caused the whole
sale suppression of newspapers which
yesterday published the address. This
action in itself was hardly sufficient
to warrant the excesses which follow
ed and the immediate cause of last
nights disturbances was in a way,
secondary to the underlying elements
in the present situation.
The suppression of nearly all the
newspapers in the capital resulted in
the closing of the printing houses by
the police. This threw thousands of
printers out of work and they con-
gregated in crowds in the vicinity of
the Vesnosensky Prospect.
Thousands of Tevolutionaries Joined
the printers and the neighborhood was
soon crowded with singing, shouting,
speech making masses. In very short
time the municipal police had entire
ly lost control of the affair and retired
from the ecene. Many policemen were
kicked and mauled and had their uni
forms torn from their backs.
MET BY STONES.
The first troops to arrive consisted
of a cavalry detachment which rode
into the Vesnosensky Prospect where
the printers and their allies were sta
toned No sooner we're the cavalry
men sighted than a wild shout went
up and big mob rushed to meet them.
The troopers started to ride into the
crowd with drawn whips but they were
met with a shower Of stones.
Their horses stampeded and the de-
tachment retired tC a safe distance
leaving the rioters in possession OF
the thoroughfare.
The soldiers converged upon the
great mob from all the side streets,
until the 'Maffickers" we're in Gordon
of troops Still the crowds displayed
a sort of drunken enthusiasm which
disregarded the presence of military
and continued singing and shouting.
During the evening the editor and
staff of the chief socialist organ
were arrested. This news spread like
wild fire and aroused the mobs to
frenzy. When the soldiers entered
the Vesnossensky Prospect from all
directions to disperse the crowds, they
were met with determined resistance.
The troops were stoned and fierce
conflicts were in progress at a dozen
different points at once. Many SOL
diers we're struck by stones and in
jured, the military rushing with the
injured from the scene to neighboring
hospitals. Apparently the soldiers act
ed under the strictest fnjunctions to
abstain, if possible, from bloodshed
for they refrained from using their
bayonets, and except to club their rifles
when the mobs tried 20 overwhelm
them, did not resort to extreme meas
uTes.
Finally the order ran up and down
the lines of soldiers to load and COM
mence firing. This awed the crowds
but they continued to menace the mil
itary Then two or three rafting vol
leys we're fired from different quarters
at once and there was an immediate
rush to disperse. 1t was quickly
learned that the troops were using
blank cartridges, but the effect upon
the mob was salutary.

lodge of Elks adjourned sine die this
evening with the installation of the
new officers. The most important bus

ted to the subordinate lodges.

changes in the new ritual. The dele
gates will hereafter serve two years.
The even number lodges will elect
at even years and the odd numbered
lodges will elect at odd years. The
board of governors of the national
home for Elks has been abolished
The board of trustees and officers of
the grand lodge will have the manage
ment of the home. The trustees are
to be elected as at present. There is
to be a grand forum of five members
as a court of last appeal and on this
question hinged long debate. But
finally it was decided to give to the
grand lodge a pardoning power as a
governor or the president has, so the
delegates feel that every safeguard
will be thrown around Elks taking
appeals. The date of the next meet
ing of the grand lodge was fixed for
