PITIFUL SIGHTS WITRESSED FUNERALS OF MANY VICTIMS OF SUNDAY’'S TRAGEDY St. Petersburg, Jan. 26.—Governor General Trepoff is in supreme com- mand of the city., Although a state of siege has not been actually proclaimed 1t practically exists, the emperor hay- ing conferred upon him as governor general almost absolute power, author- izing bim to use the military, gend- armerie and every other agency of the governwent Lo preserve order, placing under his control the government { works and schools and even empower- !ing him to exile persons who are in- imical to peace. During the night hun- dreds of arrests were made. The only .decision of the government so lar is to preserve order at ail co: “The government is living on a vol- | cano and can do nothing else id al {high official. “Every other considera- | tion must give way to the question of public order.” Private advices from all the big cit- ies and towns of Rus indicate that erywhere. 1t Helsingtor ng, but there no evidence yet of a general move- ment.

Refers to Russian Emperor and Gov- ernment as “Beasts at Bay.” Londoz, Jan. 2| views the The forei, situation in Rus alarm. It believes that while the pres- ent ings will be put down the affair of Sunday at St. Petersburg is certain to bring about a change in the form of government. The Associated Press learns that the foreign otiice would welcome a Russian government with which it could enter into a treaty sim- ilar (o the Anglo-French agreement, feeling that a contract with the pres- ent regime would be repudiated at will. But fears are entertained of a revolution which might result in inter- naticnal complications. The British press, as a whole, takes a no less gloomy view. The papers have been given up exclusively since Sunday to alarmist reports from Rus- sia, hostile articles—and scathing edi- torials on the “massacre,” one of the mildest terms used for the afigir of Sunday, and the Russian emperor and his government are r:enudll) com- pared (o “beasts at bay. The whole disc tlon in Russia serves the poorly disgnised hostility of the British pre: to everything Russian. The dispatches to the London papers all report the conditions prevailing in Russia to be worse than the Associated Press accounts. The Russian official figures of the killed and wounded are stigmatized as “ludicrously official.” The number of slain reported here in Monday’s papers ranged from 2,000 to 8,000, GENERAL REVOLT‘IN SIGHT.
