reported to the party leaders that the
Black Hundred" (patriotic hooli-
gans) are assembling at the Chuflin
Square. Later it was reported that
the widow of police captain Ossovsky
who was killed after the demonstra-
ton at Skulianskaya Rogatka, was
addressing the meeting OF the Black
Hundred. The crowds also heard
about 1t and became alarmed. The
meeting broke up.
The members Of the military organ
ization Of the party were advised to
arm and assemble in the vicinity Of
the Chuflin square where the hook
gans were holding their meeting.
Before we had time to do It, they
ended their meeting and began to
march to the cathedral, carrying ma
tipnaA=4h9ee coIfor flags and portraits
OF the car. When they reached the
main crossing on Alexandrovsky Pros
pect they spied few unarmed com
rades on the corner. A group of hoo
ligans left the parade and made a
rush for them. They escaped. into
buildings and yards shutting the
doors after them, but one girl was
hit over the head with a club as she
was trying to run up few stairs
into a restaurant. She fell on the
stains, the blood gushing from the
wound. The frenzied patriots began
to hit her with clubs and kick her
with their boots until her head was
smashed into pulp. When they tired
and stopped there were still signs of
life in her. Two shots were fired in
to her body as they left.
The Black Hundred marched on to
the cathedral which was located in
the center of a big city park. There
a public prayer was held for the car
and the House of the Romanoys. By
the time the prayer was over a solid

Of the parity assebmled in the vicin-
ity. Most of them were armed. A
few hardware stores were broken into
and all the arms found distributed TO
party members and sympathizers.
AS soon as the prayer was over the
patriots began to swarm out of the
park and started to smash windows
in the stores; and fire was started
in the biggest book store of the city
that was located opposite the park
Our group advanced and began to fire
from "Brownings," as the automatics
were called. and other revolvers that
were on hand. The hooligans at once
retreated to the park. Two policemen
in uniform, hiding behind trees, be-
gan TO shoot at us. A lively duel en-
sued, that lasted for about twenty min
utes. Then some comrades noticed a
group Of policemen coming up from
side street. We began to retreat.
Comrade A., who did not notice our
retreat, remained alone at tho on

police and retreated. The former
comrade A. is now big business man
in Chicago and would have nothing
whatever to do with REDS"
AS soon as the police reached the
scene the Dogrom was again in full

after the Dogrom appeared patriotic
song:
"The Russian car gave US freedom
To beat the Jews and mutlneers-"
They were after the "mutineers"
first of all, that explains the great
number Of Jews and christians killed
at that time. - 5
The horrors of 1908 were repeated,
but on a larger scale, and not only in
our city but all over Russia. Espe-
cially horrible were the pogroms in
the central gubernias where no Jews
were permitted to live. In one rail
road district the telegraphers and
students who barricaded themselves
in building, were burned up alive.
The police and hooligans kept on
shooting on every one who tried to
escape from the burning building.
The students did not dare to show
upon the streets In their uniforms.A
Many Of the political prisoners who
were liberated during the first days
of freedom, were later hunted up by
the police and gendarmes and killed
in cold blood.
In our city the pogrom lasted for
three full days. All during that time
the army and the police were in full
charge of the situation. Their bust
ness was TO protect and defend the
hOoligans, and occasionally to Join in
the murders and robberies. All in
dividuals who were suspected of be-
ing students, were fired upon without
much ado. Walking with a comrade,
came upon squad of soldiers who
suddenly turned corner about a half
block away. Without a word they
opened fire upon us. AS we naAened

strike became general in the city. The
street cars kept on running, but after
few of them were turned over and
5arrdcades built of them. the rest dis
appeared from the streets.
The strikers swarmed into the
streets. They went in big throngs
from store to store pulling out the
clerks, and from shop to shop calling
out the workers who had not joined
by that time. The police disappeared.
The local administration lost its
head.

resistance. Only near the barracks

the wires. The news spread over the
city in an instance. Everybody
swarmed into the streets. A great
crowd collected in front Of the news

read from the balcony before 1t APP

Spontaneous professions formed,
red flags appeared, open air meetings
started all over the city. Strangers
congratulated each other with the
newly won liberty, friends and mere
acquaintances kissed each other in
the streets. People were crying and
laughing at the same time. Every
thing red was at once absorbed. There
were red flags, red ribbons, red
streamers, red, red all over.
The shop keepers, the landlords,
the petty bourgeois intellectuals, the
middle class in general, everybody
alongside with the revolutionary
workers, wore red in the buttonholes
and smiles on their faces as if trying
to say, Il was always for the re-
yolution, you know"
A big procession went to the Jail,
where after a brief conference with
the jail officials, the political prison
ers were released and met with en-
thusiastic cheers of the crowds.
Other professions went to the cen
ter of the city, Alexandrovsky Pros
pect, and from there to German
Square, the biggest square in town.
A'monster mass meeting started there
that lasted until dark. Speakers of
the different revolutionary parties
presented their programs to the huge
crowds. The shop keepers and the
petty bourgeoisie had no platform nor
party, they had nothing to present
Tired and happy the crowds went
home to assemble again in tho morn

Crowds were continuously coming and

The October Days of 1905.
FINDER the rule of the czars the
censorship was so strict that
every printed word had to pass cen
sor. The chief of police usually act
ed as the censor In circulars an
nouncing clothing sale or a grocery
sale the censor would cut out the
word "big" and leave only "sale" If
the merchant would not come across
with some graft. If they would come
across, they could use the words
''big," great" grand" etc. Every
circular or other printed matter had
to carry the legend; Permitted by
the censor, chief of police" and his
name.
Newspaper material used TO be sent
to the censor in galley proofs before
It was made up into pages. The cen
sor -ould cut out a word, line, a
paragraph or a whole article.

airy 3, 1905, (Jan. %, new style),
when thousands OF workers in Peters
burg went to the czar under the lead
ership Of the priest Gapon. to beg for
bread and freedom and were shot
down in cold blood, the censorship
became more strict Things that
were printed IN a newspaper in one
city would not be allowed in another
city. The censor mercilessly cut ar
ticle after article. It became too ex-
pensiYe for the publishers to "kin' SO
much composition and the editors
finally decided to run the newspapers
with blank space where the articles
cut by the censor were to appear. The
higher the revolutionary wave had
grown the bigger became the blank
space in the newspapers. On the eve
Of the October days many a newspa-
per in Russia appeared absolutely
blank except for the name of the pa
per and sometime the headlines Of the
articles which were cut by the censor.
But the truth gradually began to
spread all over the country. The re-
evolutionary underground press of the
party told how thousands OF workers
with their wives and children carry
ing holy pictures of saints from the
churches and portraits of the car
went to him as children to father to
beg for freedom and bread, and how
he met them with bullets, how the
children who climbed up trees in
Alexandrovsky park were shot down,
etc.
"You have no more a carl He is
the killer Of the workersl Down with
himl Long live the revoIutionl" cried
our underground newspapers, pam
phlets and circulars. Street demon
strations became more frequent
strikes more numerous. The country
began to boil with revolt. Finally in
the middle of October a strike began
in Petersburg which by October II
had grown into a general strike all
over the country.
The railroads and telegraphs which
even at that time were government
owned and controlled, stopped work
ing, all the factories shut down, bust
ness was paralyzed. Only the news
of the spreading of the strike was
flashed to the newspapers. In Peters
burg they organized Soviet of Work

NEW YORK, August 1.-The siege
OF the Cathedral of st. Nicholas, seat
of the Russian Orthodox Church of
America. came to a close yesterday
with the dramatic capitulation of
Bishop Adam Phillipovsky. who for a
month had defied the power of the
police, the majesty of the Supreme
religious faction to oust him from the
church.
Clad in the ecclesiastical robes of
his Office and wearing the heavily
jeweled headdress known as the klo-
bulk, he strode down the steps of the
cathedral in the presence of hundreds
of spectators, and surrendered to sher-
IFS. He Immediately was placed un-

church and it's wide-fiung property

Confreres Refuse to Go.
Despite the bishops surrender two
hours after the dead line set by Su-
preme Court Justice Levy last Satur-
day his intrenched confreres refused
to evacuate the church premises to a
small army Of sheriffs, detectives and
members of the Platon group, who
waited outside therportals. The be-
siegers held a short war council.
Axes were procured and a moment
later the stout cathedral doors were
splintered under lusty blows. The
remaining score Of defenders then
Surrendered without protest.
Bishop Philltpovsky and several OF
his lieutenants were lodged in Ludlow
Street Jail. pending disposition of the
contempt Of court charge against him.
He faces a $3.50 fine and a possible
jail sentence.
