PErTERSBUBO, Jan. 24.—A «Uy of un»i><-.*ka!)le horror in St. Peter*hur* trail SuuJuy, Jan. 22. Tba atrlkers. (oadatl to desperation by a day of violence. fury and bloodshed, afe In a »Ute of open Insurrection agnlnat the goeerumetjt- t It U eatlmated that 1.000 people have been killed or wounded. Popular roBiora aay that many thouaanda have fallen. A condition bordering on dril war alia ta in tba terror stricken Runslan capful. The city la under martial law. with Prince Vaailchlkoff aa commander of over 50,000 of the emperor's crack guards. Troop* are bivouacking In the streets and at various places on the Nevsky prospect, the main thoroughfare of the city. On the la land of VaaKlll Ostrov and In the Industrial section infuriated men have thrown np barricades, which they are bolding. The empress dowager baa hastily •ought safety at Tharskoe Selo. where Emperor Nicholas II. Is tiring. Mlpister of the Interior SvlstopolkMlrsky presented to his majesty the InvttaOon of the workmen to appear at the Winter palace Sunday afternoon and receive their petition, but the emperor's advisers already had Uken a dedaloo to show a firm and resolute ecant, aad the emperor's answer to MlUtOO worttaaea trying to make their way to the palace square was a solid array of troops, who met them with rifle, bayonet and aaber. The priest Oopon. tbs leader and Idol of the men. In his golden vestments, bolding aloft the cress and marching at the bead of thousands of workmen through the Karra gate, mlrachiooaly escaped a volley which laid low half a hundred per •on*. The figures cf the total number killed or wounded here, at the Moscow gats, at various bridges and Islands and at tba Wla tar palace vary. The best estimate la 1.500. although there are fcxhggeiated figures placing the number aa high aa 5.000. Many men were accompanied by their wives and children, and In the confusion, which left no time for discrimination, the latter shared the fate of the men. The troop", with the exception of a single regiment, which la reported to have thrown down tta anna, remained loyal and obeyed orders. But the blood Which crimsoned the enow has fired the brains and passions of the strikers and tamed women ns well as - men Into JWild beasts, and the cry of the Infuriated populace ta for vengeance. The sympathy of the middle classes Is with the workmen. Gorky, tbe Russian novelist, expresses the opinion that these measures will break tbe,falth of the.people In the em pen*. Today Inaugurated revolution In Russia. Tbe emperor's prestige will be Irrevocably shattered by tbe shedding of Innocent blood. He baa alienated himself forever from his people. Gopoo taught the workmen to believe that an appeal direct to the Tittle father’ would be heeded. They hare been undeceived. Gopen is now convinced that peaceful means have failed and that the only remedy Is force. Tbe Brat blood has been shed, hut more will follow. It Is now tbe people against the appromars. and the battle will be fought to the bitter end.” One hundred and fifty persons were killed or wounded to the conflict In the The mob became to-

At the Narva gate tbe troops fired ea ■ crowd lad by Father Gopon and Fatfcsr Sergioa. the priests carrying a ersea. aa then and a portrait of Em-

eow arch, on the confines of the town, they mat with six volleys. A thousand fell deed and 1.500 were wounded. rein up tbe river a great crowd si arc bed to tbe Nevsky gate, where 500 fall dead and 700 were wounded. The VaaslU ostrov worker* lost SOO killed and 700 wounded. When the troops advanced tbe atriksra lined tbe barricades and offered what resistance they could, but the troop* charged the barricades, and while half of the Infantry rested their rifles on a barricade and volleyed the others demolished the obstructions and marched down the streets, which were encumbered with dead or wounded ane the anew on which was crimsoned with human blood. Firing continues on the Vaaslll o* trov. It (s rumored that the workmet there bare seised a dynamite factory. The startling feature in the Ruastun situation la tbe nrwa that several factories, In Moscow hare eloeed and that the workmen In tbe ol^lcapital of Ruaala are repeating the tactic* of tbeli fellow workmen of the new capital, marching from shop to shop and mill to mill, demanding that tbe e«tabllabmenta be shut down. The whole city U reported to be In a state of great ex cltement over the news of the bloodshed here, which has prcc p lated 1m mediately the atrlke that liad been planned for Wedneaday Moecow baa more workmen and less troops than 8t. Petersburg and heaidea is Just now tbe heart of the liberal movement, and tbe danger of bloodier occurrences there than have been witnessed here are aroportlonqtely greater. A rising at Moscow la also more likely to have greater result* Industrially and politically than that In 8t. Petersburg. According to private reports, the workmen to several other "big cities, notably Kharkov, where large locomo live works are located, already have completed plana for a general suspension of work. It tbe strike become* genera] all over Russia, and especially If the railroads are drawn to. It might immediately force the nation to make peace with Japan. It is aaid here that as the ontcome of the meetings of the Reform party of Gorky, Annensky. Araeolaff and other* and their adherents a body of men baa been constituted who regard them selves as tbe future provisional government of Russia Aa yet they arc political ciphers, hot they bdpe aotoe sodden stroke of {nek will enable them to overturn the existing regime, and at the aame time they recognize the fact that nonaucceaa may lead them to Siberia or the tomb. They hare decided to conjunction with tbe atriks leaders to appeal to English speaking peoples throughout the world for financial assistance to enable them to continue the struggle for freedom. A report this morning says that tbe strikers intend to storm the market on Vasnlll oetxov and seize tbe provisions there. At Kolploo. twelve miles up tbe river, a body of workmen who bad started for 8L Petersburg to Join the striker* were stopped and fired upon by Soldier*. Accounts as to tbe number killed or wounded conflict. Conflicts between tbe military and tbe police have been resumed. In the Nevsky prospect the troops fired on the crowd*. It la rumored that Emperor Nicholas will Issue a manifesto today declaring 8L Petersburg to be In a state of siege Tbe whole city Js held by an armed force. Strikers continue to drift toward the palace square, and tbe Ooaaacka and police are having more and more difficulty In keeping tbe crowds moving. It is rumored that tbe Warsaw railroad station here is on fire. Jt portion of tbe track of the Warsaw and Baltic railroad has been torn up. The northern express could not leave the station. According to the police, tbe rioting strikers are preparing to divide Into groups and sack the city. House to bouse visits have been made by the officials, warning the Inhabitants of the danger that Is thrententog. The vast admiralty works at Sevastopol are ablase. Sevastopol - u the principal military port of the Crimea. A general strike to Moscow la proceeding on exactly the aame lines as the St. Petersburg strike. Tbe proclamation and methods are Identical. Tba deputy prefect has issued a proclamation warning the Moscow public In view of tbe strike to •void as aemblagaa and processions. Otherwise tbe same severe meesurea will be .dopted as at 8t. Petersburg. At Sevastopol fire broke out at tbe admiralty works Immediately after tba second signal for begtemtog work was given. The flames burst simultaneous ly .-from different parts of the works, and tbe whole building was eo quickly

ready for fight. Tbe czar'* capital looks like a huge bivouac, camp fires being lighted on almoat every cornyr, while troops patrolled tbe at reel a. The festival of Epiphany, blessing of the waters of the Neva, had just been concluded by tbe bead of the ftuealuu church when simultaneously with the salute fired from the 8t. Peter nod 8t. Paul fortreas a rain of abrapue! shell swept over the little chapel built over the frozen Neva In front of the Winter palace, where Em- eror Nicho las und every member of tbe Romanoff family were participating In the aervIce.
