Petersburg, conditions bordering!
upon civil war Estimated dead |
from five hundred to five thousand,
hut the smaller number is believed
to he more nearly correct.
The workmen determined to go
to the palace square to demand
once more that the emperor re
ceive their petition. The first
bloodshed occurred at the Narvo
gate, when Father Gopon, leader
of the workmen, clad in golden
vestments and hearing aloft an
Ikon, approached at the head of a
procession of eight thousand men.
Troops were drawn up at the en
trance. and the officer called sever
times lor the procession to stop,
hut it continued to advance and
the order was given to fire. The
fitst two rounds were blanks and |
failed to stop th«* crowd. The
’bird round was of hall cartridges,
and was fo lowed l*v tin* shrieks of
hundreds of wounded. As the
smoke cleared away the Cossacks
charged the crowd, which turned
and ran. It i* estimated tha' ful
ly one hundred v.t re kilo-ii a this
place. Father tinjion cs> iijH-.i mi
nor . S.milur scenes were enact- 1
»d at the Moscow gate and at the
tarioi-s bridges at the wnio r p al
ace. Many women and children
are among the slain.
The truopis. with the exception
of a single regiment, which threw ,
down its arms, are rej>oried to
have obeyed orders.
The events of the day have in
tensely aroused the people, the
middle classes sympathizing with
the workingmen. Ail along Father
Uopon has taught his followers to
believe that 'he Czar would right
their wrongs, hut the refusal of the
Czar to even hear the people has
eliminated tueir faith in him. and
many lieiievc that nothing remains
Inn to tight. Risings are expected
all over Russia.
