PETERSBURG, Jan. 24.—St. Petersburg will be declared in a state of siege ‘to-morrow. General Trepoff, until recently Chief of Police of Mos- cow, has been #bpointed Governor General of St. Petersburg and has taken up quarters in the Winter Palace. Strangely enough, the only precedent is the case of General Trepoff's father during the reign of Nihilistic terrorism under Alexander:II, and it is also a strange coincidence that unsuccessful attempts were made on the lives of both. General Trepoff is a man of _great energy, but the measures he adopted at Moscow for suppressing the student demonstrations in December last provoked much resentment, and the revolutionists recently condemmned him to death. The.aspect of the Russian capital {s decidedly more calm. Business, which had been at a complete standstill, hag been resumed upon a, limited scale. ‘The. employes in a few of the smaMer factories’ went back to work to-day, and the crowds of strikers in the streets were diminished. The troops in evidéence were not so.numerous as on Monday, and a more confident feeling exists in official circles thatl the energetic measures which have been insil- tuted will ensure the safety and quiet of the eity. Beneath the surface, however, the ferment continues, and the publi¢ nerv- ousness and apprehension as to future developments is still unallayed. Secret meetings of different classes in opposition to the existing order of things were held in various places during the afternoon and evening, but the divergent elements which were suddenly brought together by the tragic events of last Sunday are advancing on divergent plans, and no common ground of action has yet been found. 2 « - In the meantime the police are activeiy searching out the I¢aders. Three well-known Russian authors and a prominent editor were arrested to-day, and the prisons are filled with agitators, revolutionists and student orators. Such’ measures may result in bomb-throwing and terrorism to-morrow, but the consensus .of opinion is that the immediate future actions of the agita- tors devend upon what occurs in Moscow and other large cities of Russi& where the workmen are beginning to strike. More than 100,000 men are out in the old capital of the empire to-night. A telephone ‘message from Moscow at midnight reported that there had Continued on Page 2, Columns 1 and 2.
