WASHINGTON, November 19,

. The United States cruiser has gone to Kronstadt to remove Americans and others i£ such a step is necessary. She will also remove the Czar and family if they desire to seek safety, as it is doubtful whether the rebels would allow a German or French warship to pass their fortifications.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 19,

A great exodus bas taken place from Moscow, including Prince Mirski and family.

A bomb, thrown from a house in Warsaw, exploded some distance from a detachment of Cossacks, who thereupon fired twenty volleys. They damaged the house and made two arrests.

One hundred and twenty thousand have struck in St. Petersburg factories and workshops, subject to a Government inspection. Many others in noninspected factories have also struck.

Krassowsky, President of the St. Petersburg Municipality, presided at a meeting of 600 members of the New Political Party of Moderates who are upholding the realisation of the liberties embodied in the manifesto of the 30th of October. It was resolved to support the Government and condemn the strike and to issue an appeal to workmen. The latter have addressed an appeal to the soldiers and sailors urging thcur to make common cause who in their tarn demand the release of their soldier and sailor brethren at Kronstadt, and the freedom of Russia.

The workmen's delegates have ordered the strike to end at noon.

LONDON, November 19

Concessions to the peasantry involve the sacrifice of annual revenue amounting to seven million sterling. Tho total remission of over one hundred and twenty million only covers land redemption iv that purchased through tho peasants. Other demands, involving the_ repurchase of private estates for division among the peasantry, is to be left to representatives to decide. It is not likely anything will satisfy the peasants except free allotment. The Standard's St. Petersburg correspondent states that twenty-five officers of the guards conferred with the revolutionary committee for four hours, and gave startling details as to the regiments being ready to side with the people.
