The < Micers of the Petrograd garrison at a general meoting have unan- Imously agreed to recognize the authority of the Executive Committee of the Duma until the formation of a permanent Government. An imperial bodyguard regiment rode into Petrograd yesterday. It is estimated that there are now 60,000 troops in the capital. The political prisoners in the Schluesselburg have been released. The entire garrison at Khartov went over to the revolution in a body, as did that Cronstadt, where Deupty Pepelauff, appointed by the Duma, after proclaiming the revolution, has formally assumed the post of Com- mandant of the fortress, In Moscow the Revolutionary Committee has the support of a brigade of artillery, five regiments of infantry and the armed imilitia, and {it is reported that the Military Governor of Moscow, Gen. Drosoveky, and more than 1,000 of his police are in prison. The casualties in Petrograd are put at about 600 all told. It is re- ported that the Grand Duke Cyril, the moment the revolt broke out, went before tho Duma and placed his corps of marines under its orders, after- ward giving his personal pledge of loyalty to M. Rodzianko. POLICE ARE GIVEN SHORT SHRIFT. Soldiers are still engaged to-day rounding up the police, hundreds of whom have been captured. All suspected houses are being searched for ammunition and firearms. A train carrying Emperor Nicholas was held up by soldiers. The Empress is reported to be in an hysterical condition, while the Crown Prince is suffering from an attack of either measles or scarlet fever. Large parties of Cossacks are riding through the streets, singing na- tional songs. There are processions of all kinds—military, naval and clvilia Massos of soldiers and others are dally gathering around the Duma Building, where remarkable scenes took place. The lobby seethes with earnest colloquies and mob oratory mingled with calls for patriotic work and self-sacrifice and with denunciations, At one end of the lobby is a rampart of sacks of flour, Here are piled boxes of cartridges and there half a dozen soldiers lie sleeping. Table after table is surrounded by students and soldiers busy keeping records., Among visitors to the journalist room has been the white-bearded Lopatine, a member of the old Society of “People’s Will,” who for twenty years has been {n the Schlusselburg Prison and only now has been able to return to Petrograd, RENOWNED FORTRESS OF 88.0—————————— PETER AND PAUL FIRST TOFALL| to. tomorrow it may be too late One of the first places to fall before| The hour has arrived when the fate the revolution was the evilly re-|o¢ the country and of the dynasty is nowned fortress of 8s.
