Terrible State Of Affa
of The Czar
MEN, WOMEN ?ND CHILDREN SHOT
The Revolt of the Striking Workmen
- in the Russian Capital Culminates in
a Deadly Conflict With the Troops
One'Detachment of. thc Infantry Re
fuses to Fire on the Strikers, Throw
Jng Down Its ATHIS.
SL Petersburg, By Gable.-Thc re
frolt of striking -workmen culminated j
Sunday in a bloody conflict with the
.troops. At 9:30 o'clock p. m., it was
believed that 1,500 people had been
. killed or wounded, but air estimates
for the present must be accepted with
caution. Popular rumor says that
many thousands have fallen. The city
at 9:30 was quiet. Troops are bivou- ?
acked around camp fires here and :
there in the streets. One detachment.
j:{ "of infantry refused to fire on the peo- j
pie and laid down their arms, but Uh* j
Ians and Cossacks attacked thbse the
infantry would not. Firing continues j
.;"on th? ; Vassiliostroy. It is rumored -
that the workmen there have seisod ? ?
i?ynamite factory and also tho* 30,000 '.
" or 40,000 armed strikers from Kolpino, j
16 miles distant, are marching on St, J
Petersburg.
MIDLLE' CLASSES FAVOR WORK- j
MEN.
Barricades erected on -the island of
Vassili Ostrov late Sunday "night were !
destroyed by troops almost immediate
ly, with the loss of 30 workmen killed.
The sympathy of the middle class ?5 ?
;ivJth the workmen. i
If Father Gopon, the master mind
' of the movement, aimed .at open revo-1
iution, he managed the affair like a '
genius to break the faith of the people 1
in the "Little Father," who, they were !
convinced, ana whom Father Gopon
had taught them, would . right fchiM?.
wrongs and redress their j?rri?Vances.
. Gorky, the Russian novelist, expressed
the opinion th?*. Sunday's work will
break this raith cf the people in the
Emperor. He said:
MEANS REVOLUTION.
'.'This day inaugurated revoluti?ft m
"Russia. The Emperor's prestige wfU
he irrevocably shattered by the shed
ding of innocent blo?dv K? has alien
r ated himself forever-from his people*
. t??pon taught the workmen to, believe
that-an appeal direct^ to 'the' "Little
. Father" \voUld be heeded. They hav?
heea "undeceived. Gopon is now con
Tinged-that jiea?cf ul means Jxave failed.
-?nd that, the Only remedy is force. The
' itirst blood has been , shed," but more
^viU follow. It is now the people
. against the "oppressors, and the battlo
fjf?l be fought to the bitter end,"
DESPERATE STRRET FIGHTING.
.The military authorities had a firm
gnp cn every, artery in the city. At
daybreak, guards, regiments, cavalry
/ held every bridge across the frozen
Neva, the network of caiials which in
terlaces the city, andv the gates
leading from the industrial sec
tion; while in the palace square,
at the storm center. were
marched dragoons, infantry, and
Cossacks of the- guard?? Barred from
o' the bridges and. gates, men, women
and children crossed the frozen river
and canals on. the ico by twos and
threes, hurrying to the palace square,
where they were sure the Emperor
would be j to hear them. The street
approaches to the square were cleared
by volleys and Cossack charges. Men
and women, infuriated to frenzy by the
.. idss of loved ones, cursed the soldiers
; while they retreated. Men har
rangued the crowds, telling them that
the Emperor had foiled them and thatf^j
the time, had come to act. Men beganffjj
to build barricades in the Nevsky pros-'
* peet and at other points, using any gj
material that came to hand and even ?i:
chopping down telegraph poles. er

The Dispensary.
'}.'h* dispensary foi? mm bi he the
chief subject of interest in the Senate.
Not content with the other two bills
that hav? been introduced, Senator
Brice has put in still another. This
is not an investigating bill, but seeks
to chance tho law, anti ?3 along the lino
B? ;th.t^6^brai?4 ''Brice'' local Option
bili introduced Cy I?? Sen?tcF ffbn?
York in 1904.
It substitutes fol' the present, sec

"Seo, 7, There may be one or more

than one dispenser can be appointed

voters of the township in which the
dispensary is to be located to prevent

ing a,peiitioti pr petitions 10 il?? bounty
bbar'd requesting that nd dispensary
be est?blished in the township. Any
incorporated city or town may secure
the establishment of a dispensary or

fcdlowing manner: Upon the petition
of one-fourth of the qualified voters
of such town or city, as shown by the
regisl ration books of th? same, an

declared to be for a dispensary, then
a dispensary may bc established in
said town or city, but if a majority or
the ballots be found to be against
the dispensary, then no dispensary
shall be established therein, and any
dispensary already established shall
be closed. Elections under this sec
tion cannot be held oftener than every

"No dispensary shall be established

they shall remain established until re
moved or closed as permitted In this
act. Provided, a dispensary shall not

town or municipality In favor of such
establishment."
Barring the introduction of new bills,
there was nothing cf deep or lasting
interest in the proceedings of either
the House or the Senate Tuesday, both
of which held short sessions.
The Senate occupied its time dis
cussing the Blease dispensary investi
gation resolution "and passed it with
amendments extending the scope of
the investigation to practically every
detail of the system from its inception
to the present. The commission -is tc
meet as often as it sees flt, and is not
required to report until the next meet
ing of the Legislature.
Among the new House bills this
morning was one by Mr. Boyd, mak
ing ordinary promissory notes invalid
if presented for discount at any other
bank than that, cn which they are
drawn.
Mr. Fishburn introduced a bill re
quiring marriage licenses. The couple
is to get a certificate from the clerk

This they are to present to the per
son performing the ceremony, who is
to return the paper to the clerk with
the endorsement that the ceremony has
