British Press Comment on Reign of Blood¬
shed ond Anarchy in Russia.
Such phrases as tho following ex¬
tracted from editorial articles ip the
London morning newspapers, suf
flcientlv indicate the opinion held of
the bloody events in St. Petersburg:
"Revolt has been quelled and revolu
tion begun."
"The Inevitable reaction has be¬
gun and with it a new chapter in Rus¬
sia's history.”
“The revolutionary movement in
Russia has received its baptism of
blood, its crown of martyrdom."
eeption of a single regiment, which
is reported to have thrown its arms,
remained lojral and obeyed order.-:.
Bur the blood which crimsoned the
snow has fired the brains and pas
fiionv of the strikers, arid turned wo¬
men, as well as men. into wild beasts,
and the cry of the infuriated popu¬
lace is for vengeance.
Led by Two Priests.
At the Neva Gate the troops fired
on a crowd led by two priests—Go
pon and Sergius—the priests carying
a cross arKl ikon anC! a portrait cf
Emperor Nicholas. Sergius was kill
ed, and the portrait of the emperor
was smashed.
' At the Putiloff works the
scenes re¬
sera bled a sham battle. There the
j workmen facing the troops when the
order was given to fire, threw therm
L, i adves •, upon their laces on the ground.
The troops fired on them as they lay
prostrate.
Troops Begin Using Guns.
The first trouble began at 11 o’clock
when the military tried to turn hack
some thousands of the Putiloff strik¬
ers at on-- of the bridges connecting
the great industrial quarter with the
central portions of the city. The
same thing happened almost simulta¬
neously at other bridges. The con¬
stant flow of workmen pressing for¬
ward refused to be denied aaccess to
the common rendezvous at the palace
square. The Cossacks at first used
knouts, then the flats of their sabers
and filially their guns.
The front ranks of the demonstra¬
tors fell cm their knees and implored
fhe Cossacks to let mem pass, pro
testing that they htut no hostile in¬
tentions. Their pleas, however, were
refused, and orders were given for
the military to load their rifles with
ball cartridges.
As the mob pressed forward the
Co.sacks fired. Then the public’s

Barricade Defenders Killed.
The Associated Press correspondent
was present when the first barricades
were constructed at Vassilostrov isl
where fighting occured later, re
suiting in the killing of thirty of the
defenders of the barricades,
The strikers, driven from the river
front, had gathered in front of the
union headquarters out of sight of the
soldiery. Buzzing like a nest of angry
hornets, a hundred men brandished
saber blades secured from a junk shop,
which were the only weapons seen in
the bands of the strikers during the
day.
Others swarmed up poles and cut
down telegraph, telephone and electric
light wires, which they strung from
lamp post to lamp post across the
street, to break up charges of caval

A military band was playing while
this conflict was going on. The em
peror remained at Tsarakoo-Selo. At
2:22 p. ru. the mob and troops were in
in open conflict around the palace.
