This has thrown the city into a otato of nerv ous anxiety. Thoro are now 25,000 troops on duty In tho city and all streets aro being patrollod and every one kept within their houses. Only tho hardest work on tho part of tho JxoopB provontod the construction of barricades across tho main streets tho strikers last night.

Numerous telegraph poles wcro cut down but boforo they could bo placed into position, tho trdops charged and drovo the mobs away. A uumbor of tho gunsmith shops wero plundered by tho students. Tho city is gradually becoming Isolated, both by land and sea, and It Is onlr a question of hours when com muntcaUon with the outside world will bo interrupted.

Oct. 29. (Delayed) As rats desert a sinking ship, Just so are the aristocrats deserting Czar1 Nicholas, Before daybreak' Sunday Russia's no- began to put in an appearauco at the, Finland railroad depot, the only of communication leading out of ths cjtjr- that has been Interrupt FROM TH WORLD ed by tho strike. With a frenzy that plainly showed their fear, arlstrocratlc dames, haughty princes and dukes and countless numbers of court attendants piled indiscriminately Into tho railroad coaches. They Beomcd mad with fear of what was to come.

Their desertion of the Little Father Is ominous. Theirs Is an emulation of tho cxahiplo of tho courtlors of the unfortunate Louis XVI of trance, In fact this fleeing of tho nobles by way of tho Finland railroad seemed to those who witnessed It to be a reproduction, with more elaborate and modern stage effects of tho hla-torlcal events that wero a prelude to tho French i evolution. With white sot faces, tho women huddled together. Nurses marshalled tho children In their care. Coach men and attendants stood elbow to olbow with their aristocratic masters.

So anxious were tho deserters to leave here that their practically associating with their serving peoplo seemed to bo tho natural' thing to them and not offensive In tho least. "To J-inland" w.aa tho cry of tho fleeing relatives, courtiers and para-ercrs of Czar Nicholas. "To Helslng-foro!" All were mad to reach tho Finnish capital for they are all possessed of tho belief that" It will bo better in theso trying times to trust their safety to tho discontented Finns rather than any longer bear the killing sus-' penso of what may happen here. Tho peoplo watched tho exodu3 or the aristocracy with an iuterest tempered with amusement. In fact Sun day was ono of practical quiet In this city.

Reports from the provinces tell an-other-atoy, meager as" they nrc- Bu hero itho pollco and patrols of soldiers did not Interfere with strikers' meetings. The leaders of tho strike- held a meeting dfirlng the nloy.i'and reached a final decision to contlnuo the strike purely as a passlvo resistance movement. A warning has been Issued to tho strikers to do nothing In any way to provoke tho police and military to shed blood and to avoid especially street demonstrations. There wero a number of small meetings of strikers throughout the day at which Inflammatory speeches were delivered against tho autocracy. No matter how fierce the denunciations of the government or how anarchistic the advlco tho speakers gave to their hearers, tho police made no effort to bring the meetings to a close.

Tho headquarters of tho Union of Unions has telegraphed a scathing message to tho laborers of Helslng-fors, severely blaming tho Finnish workmen for not joining the strike and helping to free Russia from, the "yoke of absolution" and urging them to strike now, saying "that It Is not yet too late for them to make their weight felt in the St. Petersburg waited all day for some Intimation as to what had been tho outcome of tho czar's all night conference with his ministers. But whatever decision was roached will hardly bo officially and correctly known until some time, tomorrow. Tho correspondent of tho Publisher's Press Association has trustworthy Information that a meeting of tho highest reactionary officials was held early this morning and that their meeting amazingly optimistic view of the situation, advising tho czar to leave for a hunting expedition In Ignoro tho present International strife nnd to act as If all was soreno and peaceful. General Trcpoff, addressing tho meeting declared: "Let tho whole empire pass under a provisional govern ment but so long as St.

Petersburg Is quiet wo shall win." Ills exclamation was brought forth by references to the provisional government set up at Moscow and other cities In tho provinces by the revolutionists. SUNDAY AT MOSCOW. Odessa, Oct. 30. There woro several clashes between the troops and tho strikers In tho city Sunday but in every instance the soldiers came off victorious and tho populaco were 'forced to flee.

A conservative list of the casualties to six o'clock last night was 27 rioters killed and 00 wounded; whllo of tho troops three wero killed and eight seriously hurt. At 6 o'clock last night tho city was fairly tranquil and the police and coa-sacka were clearing tho streets, drivings every one. to tholr houses. The people were obeying orders without any semblauce of resistance and the belief was general that there would be no further trouble before morning. Matty of tho leaders of strike movement wore arrested during the' day and aro now hold at the several stations.

All communication with the Imprisoned men Is steadfastly rofused by tho authorities and It Is reported upon the best of authority that many of them have been shamefully tortured to force them to confess to tho plans of tho revolutionaries. It is reported that three ot the rog-imonts of infantry which were sent herd from the cast to aid in the pro-sorvInK of order have revolted and murdorrd tbelr officers. They are now said to bo holding their barracks with arms. This! reoort cannoUbe verified. The nltjht schools, at tnp; university are all closed by order of the governor general and It is reported that an order will bo Issued Monday closing tho university until the present troublo Is over.

A bad feature ot the situation 13 the fact that the authorities aro encouraging tho lawless element to plllago the houses, of the leaders of tho strike movement and to offer violence to all who opposo them. Tho latter movement Is especially directed against wealthy Jews, who have stiffored severely. Thero la still a great scarcity of food supplies nltbough there has bee'n but llttlo actual suffering hero. Prices aro well nigh prohibitive, and tho people aro bound to feel tlfo pangs of hunger very soon. TO BOMBARD THE TOWN.

St, Petersburg, Oct. 30. Tho governor of Kloff has mounted nitillcry In readiness to bombard the town In case of revolt. Tho conditions here are threatening but there has so far been but llttlo disorder. COSSACKS ATTACK MEETINGS.

30. Tho European manager of tho Publisher's Pres3 Association sent a telegram to Count Wltte, at tho Palace at Poterhof Sunday afternoon asking If In his opinion there was any danger of an Immediate serious outbreak which would endan gcr tho Russian government. At o'clock the following reply was received: "I am unbalo to answer tho question contained In your telegram of today. (Signed.) "Wltte." The general construction placed upon this answer of Count Wltto is that tho which has been in session In Peterhof slnqo Sunday noon is still undecided whether It should favor Wltte's reform measures or follow out the ancient custom and try to put down tho rebellion by force of arms. If this Is so, naturally Count Wltte would bo unable to answer out telegram.

Kaulbars in an interview lastrnlght stated that ho had not yet decided when he would declare martial law In the city but that if tho disturbances continued he. feared the time must bo very near. He declared that he fearod tho present situation would result in a general attack upon the Jows and Bald that ho had ordered troops to do all in their power to guard the Jewish quarters.

Ellrlstlvl. This act of wanton cruelty has done more to inflame the people than anything that has so far happened.
