Rings or Pins at 1 4 Prisons Are Filled with Agitators and Revolutionists. TROUBLE FEARED IN MOSCOW All Work Sutpended snd Are Arming to Defend If Attacked Strike All Over Russia. St. PeteiPlnrr.

J-n. 'vv-burg has been dpclarnl in a of siege. General Trcpoff, roe. mischief of police of Moscow, haa been appointed governor gcuorul of rit. Petersburg and has taken up iv-ts in the winter palate.

Stransc'y casttf h. the only precdnt Is the of lien-eral Trepotf's father, dining t-io reisn of Nihilistic terrorism und-r and it is aU-o a strange toin-cldenee that unsuccessful attempts were made on the lives of both. General Trepoff is a man of great Ri.trpy, but the measures iie adopted ui Moscow lor suppressing the student demonstration in December last provoked much resentment, and the revolutionists recently condemned him to death. The aspect of the Russian capital is decidedly more calm. Business, vuich 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, 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, the ferment continues, and the public nervousness and apprehension 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 elements which were suddenly brought together by the tragic events of last Sunday are advancing on divergent plans, and no common ground of action has y. been found.

In the meantime the police are actively searching out the leaders. Three well known Russian authors and a promt nenr editor were arrested, and the prisons are filled with agitators, revolutionists and student orators. Such measures may result in bomb throwing and terrorism, but the consensus of opinion is that the immediate future actions of the agitators depends upon what occur3 in Moscow and other large cities of Russia, where the workmen are beginning to strike. Over men are out in the old capital of the empire. A telephone message from Moscow reported that there had boon no disorder there as yet.

There will be a big demonstration in Moscow today, and it is feared that it will be accompanied by bloodshed. The situation confronting the military authorities at Moscow is much more serious than that in St. Petersburg. Out of over 1,000,000 inhabitants of Moscow, over two-thirds are workmen, including an exceedingly lough r.nd turbulent element. The troops there are fewer, and the city docs not lend itself, like St.

Petersburg, to natural barriers to prevent the congregation of men. The centre of the town has no bridges and no canals, and tills and narrow streets make it difficult for troops to act. Only the gates piercing the walls of the old Chinese town, which surrounds the Kremlin, wouM tfford the military natural places to bar demonstrators. At Kovno and Vilna, 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 ltave their employment.

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 trop of sensational rumors, including Etories of strikers marching on Kol-pino to seize the small arms factory there, and of the assassination of General Fullon, the chief of police of St. Petersburg all of which, on investigation, have turned out to be false. The inhabitants have again been warned to remain indoors.

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 tnat since the emperor and the emperor's ministers have refused to listen to the peo-ple's grievances and fired upon them. Continued on fourth page The Democratic borough committee met last evening in the office of Chair-mau Thomas N. Burke.

The principal Item of business was a discussion of the First ward primary election held on Saturday Enoch Trochanoski, candidate for Councilman, claimed that the election was illegal.
