Ground Strewn with Dead, Twenty-five thousand left Kolpino, a manufacturing village.

15 miles from here, early Tuesday morning, their objective point being the czar's palace at Tsarskoe Selo. After they had advanced five miles they found- a regiment of infantry supported by half a battery of artillery awaiting their arrival. They were ordered to retire, but, making some show of force, they continued to go forward until they had come within point blank range, when a succession of volleys stopped them and threw them into disorder. They fled precipitately, leaving the ground strewn with dead. Later they endeavored to form up anew, but the infantry, quickly following up their advantage, pursued them, pouring into them successive volleys.

which drove them, helter skelter, into Kolpino, where they were surrounded by troops, who inflicted further severe punishment. Trepoff in Command. St. Petersburg, Jan. St.

will be declared in a state of siege to-day. Gen. Trepoff, until recently chief of police of Moscow, has been appointed governor general of St. Petersburg, and has taken up quarters enough, in the palace. Strangely precedent is the case of Gen.

Trepoll's Father, during the reign of Nihilisunder Alexander and it is also a strange coincidence that unsuccessfut attempts were made on the lives of both. Gen.

A number of witnesses will be heard and considerable time will be consumed by attorneys. It is therefore probable that the conclusion of the case will not long precede the day of final adjournment in March.

Business, which had been at a complete standstill, has been resumed upon a limited scale. The employes in a few of the smaller factories went back to work Tuesday, and the crowds of strikers in the streets were diminished.

The troops in evidence were not so numerous as on Monday, and a more confident feeling exists in official circles that the energetic measures which have been inaugurated will ensure the safety and quiet of the city. Beneath the surface, however, ferment continues. and the public nervousness and apprebension as to future developments is still unallayed. Secret meetings of different classes in opposition to the existing order of things were held in various places during the afternoon and evening, but the divergent element which were suddenly brought together by the events of last Sunday are advancing on divergent plans, and no common ground of action has yet been found. Prisons Filled with Agitators.

In the meantime, the police are activeout the leaders. Three well known Russian authors and a prominent searching editor were arrested Tuesday, and, the prisons are filled with agitators, revolutionists and student orators. Such measures may result in bomb throwing and terrorism to but the concensus of opinion is that the immediate future actions of the agitators depend upon what occurs in Moscow and other large cities of Russia, where the workmen are beginning to strike. Over 100,000 men are out in the old capital of the empire. A telephone message from Moscow, at midnight, reported that there had been no disorder there as yet.

There will be a big demonstration in Moscow to-day, and it is feared that it will be accompanied by bloodshed. Serious Situation in Moscow. The situation confronting the military authorities at. Moscow is much more serious than that in St. Petersburg.

The troops are fewer, and the city does not lend itself, like St. Petersburg, to natural barriers to prevent the congregation of men. The center of the town has no bridges and no canals, hills and narrow streets make it diffcult for trorops to act.

Only the gates piercing the walls of the old Chinese town which surrounds the Kremlin would afford the military natural places to bar demonstrators. At Kovno and Viina, where strikes also have been begun, the workmen are following the St. Petersburg plan of marching about the city and inducing or forcing other workmen to leave their employment. Many Sensational Rumors. The windows and doors of practically every shop and residence in St.

Petersburg are boarded up, and at midnight the streets, as on Monday night, were completely deserted, except for troops. During the day there was a great crop of sensational rumors, including stories of strikers marching on Kolpino to seize the small arms factory there, and of the assassination of Gen. Fullon, the chief of police of St. Petersburg, all of which, investigation, have turned out to be false. The inhabitants have again been warned too remain indoors.

Father Gopon's Proclamation. It is not? known definitely. whether Father Gopon, the leader of the workmen, is in Moscow or in St. Petersburg. A proclamation said to emanate from him has been distributed, indicating that he has gone over body and soul to the social democrats.

The proclamation declares that since the emperor and the emperor's ministers have refused to listen to the people's grievances and fired upon them, the government has outlawed itself so that every man's hand should be against it, and calls upon the people to slay the outlaws and destroy the government root and branch, It authorizes the men to use bombs, dynamite and other weapons, invites students to join and absolves the soldiers from their oath of fealty. The destruction of government, property is recommended, but the proclamation requests the followers of the bill of last year, and $166,180 less than the aggregate of the estimates made by the state department.

"She was engaged, to a school teacher, Clyde Brown, of Orland but she loved me better. I told her that the day she married him I would kill myself, or else would take my life on her birthday, January 27.

Every day that we were at the hotel we planned to kill ourselves, Finally we set Monday morning as the day. Sunday morning she tried three times to kill herself with poisons I had purchased. She drank oxalic acid, iodine and wood alcohol in turn, but they acted only as emetics. She did not take the acid until Monday morning, because she realized its horrible effects. Wanted to Go First.

"She begged and implored me not to go mole first, as she did not want to see me die. She asked. me to pour out the acid, 1 and I filled a wine glass with it. As her last request she asked me to hand it to her, but I refused. repeatedly.

At last she nerved herself. snatched the glass and swallowed the dose at a single effort, dropping the glass on the bed beside her: She lay back gasping, as she did so. 'Don't leave me until I'm she implored, in a dull whisper. His Nerve Failed. "I seated myself by the bed and watched her through what seemed to me like hours.

As I watched the terrible. convulsions that wrecked her form, the foam that specked her lips, the agonized setting of the eyes and the mortal pain expressed in her every movement, my nerve failed me. I didn't have the courage to follow her. "Florence's death had unnerved me to a great extent and Monday afternoon I decided to go back to Brooklyn, where I live, and face the music, if prosecution followed my offenses. I wrote letters to my mother, Mrs.

A. F. Milligen, and sisters, Mrs. H. R.

Conklin and Edith Milligen, 244 Putnem avenue, Brooklyn, asking them for. money to defray expenses of the trip and explaining my purpose." Milligen was brought back to Milwaukee Tuesday night.
