it's death with the bayonet, with the
troops already massing around its ref
uge the Hotel Belvidere. the assem-
bled members of the douma, 1S6 in
number, with frantic haste adopted and
signed an address to the people which
is thoroughly revolutionary in its ma

Kiss Each Other Goodbye. Ii
Their work done, there followed a
scene of the most dramatic intensity

members embraced and kissed each
other and, with tears in the eyes of
most, said goodbye.

get from its abolished parliament bears
a remarkable similarity to the mani
festo framed by the council of work
men last November, which lauded its
authors and the editors of eight st.
Petersburg newspapers in the cells of
the fortress of st. Peter and ST. Paul.
