Today the city emerged from a weeks nightmare of revolution, figur- atively smiled under a brilliant flood of sunshine after a series of gray days ending with snowstorm yester- day evening. Planks were pulled from windows long closed, banks and other business establishments of every de- scription reopened their doors for re- sumption of ordinary activities, seem- ingly confident in the new temporary government gained by force.
 Few Signs of Clash.
 The only visible signs of the clashes of authority that turned the city into battle-ground were the charred ruins of jails, which were still pouring clouds of smoke skyward, and the remnants of other institutions, and those of few individuals who were regarded as Y offenders against the rights of the people. In front of other government institutions, which, apparently the revolutionists had not seen fit to destroy, are piles of charred embers showing where wreckage and documents had been dumped and consumed.
 The defenders of the old regime, of which doubtless few remain, put up a last feeble defense last night from the wrecked Astoria military hotel and St. Isaac's cathedral, facing on two sides of a square. They were soon silenced by sharpshooters of the new authorities.
 With the reopening of bread, sugar and meat shops, lines of women with market bags and baskets often ex- tending the length of a block were formed to replenish stores exhausted by the long seige.
 The most phenomenal feature of the revolution has been the swift and orderly transaction whereby the con- trol of the city passed from the regime of the old government into the hands of it's opponents. .s}

Petrograd, March 15, via London After three days of battle between troops supporting it and those op- posed, a revolution was successfully effected in Petrograd.
 In three days of fighting the troops opposed to the revolution were as- sisted by the police.
 The duma joined hands with the revolutionists upon being dissolved by the emperor and declared that the existing government had been over- thrown. The duma resumed it's sit ting after sending notification to the emperor of these developments, warn ing him that the fate of the dynasty depended on his acceptance of the new order.
 The city is now quiet and perfect order prevails. The casualties prob ably did not exceed 500. So far as learned no foreigners were injured.
 All ministers resigned except M. Prototpoff. Former Minister Stur- mcr, Premier Golitzine and the head of the secret police were arrested.

 Strike Starts Revolt.
 Events leading up to the revolution began a week ago with the insistent demands of working men who quit work as a protest against the short age Of bread. The first two days mounted patrols kept the crowds moving without resort to violence. When ordered to fire on the people, they refused. Police were substitut- ed and battle occurred between them and the troops. Regiment after regiment joined the revolters,s and seized arsenals and other strategic points.
 Until Sunday night there was no in- dication that the affair would grow to the proportions of revolution. From then until Tuesday morning al- most continuous fighting in the streets and throughout the city oc- cured, leaving the revolutionists in full control.
