TROOPS THICK IN
RUSSIAN CAPITAL
AS A RESULT NO DISORDERS OF
ANY KIND ARE REPORTED FROM
ST. PETERSBURG ON RED SUM-
DAY.

ST. Petersburg, January %, 75o a. m.-
The anniversary of Red Sunday here
passed in the lamest fashion. There were
no developments or disorders. EARLY dis
patches from the interior report that no
serious trouble occurred anywhere.
The day here was absolutely uneventful
except stoppage of work at some of the
factories, but the attempt to make the
strike general was failure large pro-
portion of the workmen disregarded the
appeal The electric plants and street
car services are both working, and stores
are open everywhere.
The change from normal life is scarcely
noticeable except In the industrial quar-
ters of the city. All was quiet, the most
turbulent being overawed by the imposing
military preparations. Guards were es-
pecially thick in the Vassali Ostrov dis
trict which besides it's large industrial
population, is infested with disorderly per-
sons Joint patrols of cavalry and infan-
try swept up and down the streets at in
tervals and pickets were stationed at
every corner. The many workmen on the
streets drifted together, and then sepa-
rated as the patrols came and went, evil
IDENTIFY being In rear Oh the Cossack WHIPS
The Putiloff thoroughfare was patrolled
by police during the day, many in squads
OF five, carrying pistols in connections
with their swords. At Putioff works
where all but 1000 of, the men had been
paid off on account of lack of contracts,
crowds of unemployed workmen gathered
in front of the gates hoping to secure
work.
The afternoon papers did not appear,
but most of the morning papers were is
sued. They printed articles containing
"reminiscences of January %, but they
were worded in an unusually temperate
tone on account perhaps of the sentence
of one year imprisonment imposed upon
Alexis Alevitch Souvarin editor of the
Russ. The radical papers will not appear
tomorrow, but the strike Of the printers 's
not general.

Meridian, Miss. January 22,-(Special)-
A veritable deluge was experienced in
this city in the hours following shortly
after midnight this morning, an incessant
flashing of vivid lightning and continual
rumblng of thunder making the night

For nearly an hour following midnight

ing the downpour 1.63 inches of rain fell
and the wind swept at a rate closely
bordering on gale. The roads were made
practically impossible, and the city streets
were swept clean of mud for the first
few hours of the morning. The rain was
so heavy that it beat the roads down.

orderly but never wavered in their deter

should stay. The student body numbers
nearly 1000 male and female and many

Chicago Badly Tied Up.

Chicago, January PA severe storm Of
alternating rain, seet and snow which
commenced just before midnight last
night caused one of the worst tie-ups this
city has known in many years.
But few telegraphic wires were work
ing out of the city today in any direc-
ton, there being no communication what
ever with the east. The only direction
in which the telegraph service was at all
adequate was in the direction of Mil
waukee
Inside the city telephone communication
was badly crippled. the electric lines Of
street cars were almost out of commits
sion, 1t sometimes requiring an hour to
take a car the distance of one square
The elevated roads were still greater suf-
ferers. Many passengers on the Aurora
line and Chicago electric were compelled
to remain all night In the depots when
the road ceased operations on account of
the storm.
Commission Houses Out Of Business.
Large commission brokerage houses
which ordinarily use from twenty to
thirty wires leading to all parts of the
country were unable this morning to
send a message in any direction and We're
without advices regarding the situation
in other parts of the country.
Tne weather bureau managed TO receive
some information before the conditions
reached the worst stage. 1t was an
nounced the storm was moving slowly
eastward with the center just north of
Indianapolis. 1t was predicted that the
area of the low barometer would surely
move eastward although the prolongation
might be expected in this section anoth-
er twenty-four hours. If this forecast is
verified IT will make forty-eight hours
of rain, sleet and snowfall without cessa-
tion.
The railroads are in much better con-
dtion to contend against sleet and snow
than the electric lines which We're at
times during the day in desperate straits
On some of the lines running east of here
hundreds of miles of railroad wires were
down and dispatchers were having a most
anxious time in moving trains.
Had to Go on Foot.
Great trouble was experienced today by
people who use electric lines In the out
lying sections of the city to reach their
work The lines were. with few excep-
tions out of business. and II was impos-
sible to reach any place except on foot.

One report was that a couple of fiatirons

EARLY YESTERDAY

| The S. S Olympia, tire first vesse
| to arrive here from the Coast since
the San Francisco disaster. came in al
an early hour yesterday morning, ter
| days from Seattle. She brought Z.
| sacks of mail and three passengers.
| During the trip the vessel expert
| enced three days of very bad weather
| IN the height of which the propeller
| worked loose, necesstating the shut
| ting down OF the engines for several
hours, during which the big steamship
drifted before the storm. The propel-
Ter shaft had been repaired turing the
recent visit to Seattle. but most inef-
| hciently. as was shown by the break
down Another breakdown to the cleo
trical plant deprived the vessel of her
lights for the three days preceding her
arrival here
This will be the last visit of the
Olympia for some time. as she has been
chartered for the Nome run and will
proceed on her trip to the north as soon
as she returns to Seattle and has been
laid up for two weeks for repairs.
Saturday at a. m. is the sailing
hour of the Olympia when she expects
to leave with full passenger list of
Japs She has steerage accommoda-
tions for GIL She will probably sail
from here to Kauai, instead of to Ha-
va ,,.i.yjoall,. IN
TRANSPORTS FOE SEATTLE.
Seattle is to be the home port of
the army transport service probably
for some months. as the result of the
San Francisco disaster. Quartermaster-
General Humphrey today directed Ma
jor Duvau. in charge at San Francisco,
to order the transport Sherman to
Seattle on her arrival at the Golden
Gate. and the ship is due next week.
Governor Mead has been authorized
te ship tentage belonging to the Wash
ington National Guard to San Fran
cisco for the use of the homeless peo-
pie of that city,-Seattle Times, May
%.
This announcement was foreshadow-
ed by a despatch sent out from Wash
ington on April 81, as follows:
The sailings of the army transports
between the Pacific coast and the
Philippines may be affected by the San
Francisco fire. 1t has already been de-
cided to change the dates of sailing,
which are the 9Th. 18th and 25th of
each month. to the 10th, 18th and Goth.
This will make five days less in the
period at Manila and five days more din
the period at San Francisco, provided
San Francisco remains the home port
of the service. 1t is admitted at the
war department, however, that it is
altogether too early to determine
whether a change in the home port
will be made.
The ouartermaster depot at San
Francisco has been wiped out. but will
no doubt be restored in time.
The existence of a large quartermas-
ter depot at San Francisco has hereto
the department on retaining the city
of the Golden Gate as the Coast term
mus of the transport line.
In regard to plans for the future.
they will depend probably on the con-
dition of the wharVes at San Fran
cisco 1t was admitted as a possibility
at the department today that some
sailings might be authorized from
Seattle The next transport due to
arrive from Manila will be ordered to
proceed to Seattle instead of San Fran
cisco.
