Tho reguUir troops arc actiiiij in a moderate niaa- ner, but the Cossacks aro provoca- tivi'ly brutal. In a clash between troops and atu- dents on Sunday afternoon tho sol- diers, without warning, fin-d point blank into the crowd, killing 20 and wounding 60. It is stated that in ! another Uttht that occu.Ted in a dii- feront part oi the city seven were killed and 30 woumied. It is report- ed that the students uro arnwng a!id organizing a retaliatory attach on tho troops Ueports from Kiofl state that three regiments in tho south-western part of tho province have mutinievl. Alarming reports are cuiront hero questioning tho udeliLy of thrue infiii- try battalions. Tho British Consul is arranging to embark tho English residei.ls ships in the harbor if necessary public resorts aro closed. Owing to tho outbreak cf street lighting on Sunday ovonirg tho Oov- cruor applied to St. Peter.-»burg for permission to again cleclare martial law. No reply has yot bl^on rcceivod. Troops hold the streets in all direc- tions. Tho lighting began at r>.:!0 o'clock. Worluaau and students erected barricades, using street ca-'s for the purposL'. Many of the men who were wou'iiU ed by tho Co.ssacks' lire were la'ieii to drug stored for treatment. ing that a Constitution will bo an- nounced on Nov. 3. tho anniversary of Iho Czar's accession to tho throne. The wildest rumors aro current. It is slated that the imperial family have fiei] aboiird a yacht, and that Count do Witte will bo appointed dic'o'or. There i:i a jjcrfe^t deluge of bad news trom 'he provinces, but this is so much a part of Russian life that it is not necessarily alarm- ing. The ruul danger lies in a "" ]l)olilical movement of which current All events are merely symptoms. Tho St. I'etersburg correspondent of the London Telegraph draws a si-nsalional picture of tho strike .situ- ation. He says, among other things tNat meoLiugs are being held every- where in tho provinces, and that ppeechr-s aro being made l)y anybody and everybody. Demands aro being forniulatod which the (iovornment would not grant if it could and could not iC it would. Hesolul-ious aro being passed unan:mou.sly and CTilhusiastically to continuo tho strike until these demands arc con- ceded. Downright 'reuzy, revolu- tionar.v frenzy, seems to have seized the entire people, who lush head- long as though literall.y possessed, and resolved to bring ruin on them- selves, or else end tho odious regime, which is dying loo slowly. There are no people's tribunals at work, as In revolutionao' Franco, but thoro are executions enough, which are carried out in ways that point to local vchmgerichts, Kvery morning paper brings lists of ofTi-ials, police, Cossacks, administrators, and even watchmen, whoso liven have been suddenly snuffed out during ihe night by men who aro unknown, llonibs, daggers, revclvcrs, and rifles lii;urc in the lugubrious accounts, to which the public is rapidly growing accu.s- tomod. Revolutionary lynch law has thus usurped tho place of official ca- price, which until some months ago freely disposed of tho properties, iho Ubcrti!>s, and sometimes the lives of peaceful citizens who were often more deserving of reward than pun- ishment.
