After pil- laging liquor shops the crowd set j of th„ Wount7ed7er«'ons"arc7vi fire to them and prevented tho fire- men from putting out tho blazes. This was repeated deUbcrately at many places. Friday the fury of tho mob found full vent, and even chil- dren, caught by the contagion, were seen kissing red flags and heard swiaring that they were reatly to die lor libert.v. A Hebrew girl mounted a box in the market scpiarc and ad- dres.sod an immense crowd. GIRL FELL DEAD. Sudtlcnly the police ap|>oai-i'd and fired n volley and the girl fell deod. Market gardeners coming in wei'o utopped and their oars were used in building barricadis. Wires were stretched in front of these barrioatleH soldiers. This started the shedding of blood which continued until after nightfall. REVOLVER AND VITROL. At 11 o'clock all the factory hands struck and (lockixl into tho streets.

A despatch from London .sa.vs:â€" Tlic Moscow correspondent of the Standard says that prayers for vic- tory for the Uu.ssian arms were offer- ed up at noon Sun<ln.v in the Grand Square opjiosite the Kremlin in the presence of about 2,000 persons. There w.as a large gathering of eccle- siastics, and an imposing display of the most revered ikons, but it was impossible to believu iu the sincerity of the populace. Many mocking re- marks were heard, such as "Victory? Wo don't want victory." Before the service ended a large proportion of the gathering drifted away, attracted by the siJoclacle of a small fire iii the neighborhood. The fact is, nobody is really inter- ested in tile war. All minds are oc- cupied with tho question of internal reforms. For a majority the result of the war is a foregone conclusion. In higher circles there is le.ss pessi- mism. There is reason to believe that largo reinforcements are being hurried East in order to ensure a firm stand in the Khingan Mountain range, the natural frontier on the west, where the Russians thoroughly established themselves five years ago. Press criticisms on tho con<iiict of the war are increasing in severity. Otherwise the columns of the news- papers are about e<iuall.v filled with reports of striki-s and disorders in every part of the empire, and of pro- jects for a ni'W Constitution and electoral scheme.
