pended in 8t. Petersburg.
St. Petersburg, Jan. 24.—2:25 p. m.
—St. Petersburg wears a martial as
pect today. "Everywhere troops hav«
been drawn into court yards. Only
pickets are left outside, apd small
squads of Cossacks are patrolling tbs
Streets. Tho stores along the princi
pal thoroughfares are mostly closed
and barricaded.
The correspondent of the Associate
ed Press noticed several men distrib
uting proclamations. The people for
merly were thy of accepting such doc
uments; now they are eagerly accept
ing them and have nick named them
"lastotchke” (swallows), an allusion
to the sprlng-which has become a syn
onym of evolution. The correspon
dent secured a number of copies. They
are ail signed by "th eKusslan So
cial-Democratic Labor Party.”
The proclamation dated Jan. 22,
reads:
"Comrades! So long as autocracy
exists no improvement in our Condi
tion is possible. Therefor© we con
tinue to inscribe on our banners tha
following demands:
"The cessation of the war.
"The summoning of a constitutional
assembly of representatives of the peo
ple, universal suffrage and direct, se
cret. ballot.
"The removal of class and racs
privleges and restrictions.
“The inviolability of the person'and
of conscience, speech and
meetings, strikes and pollt-
.JWssociatlons.
A second proclamation, datod Jan.
23, spys: * ' *
"The protelarist oFfcll countries ars
united. •
"Citizens, you hare witnessed th«
bestial cruelty of the autocratic gov
ernment. You saw blood flowing la
the streets. You saw hundreds slaugh
tered defendants of the cause of la
bor. You saw death and heard groans
of the wounded women and defense
less children! The blood and brains
of workingmen were spattered around
where their heads had been laid. Who
directed the soldiers to aim their rifles
and fire bullets at the breasts of tfas
laborer? It was the emperor, or ths
grand dukes, the ministers, the gen
erals, the nobles of the court!
"They are the murderers! 61sy

A third oroclamatlon appeals to ths
people not to attempt to injuiw in
