Afc Kifcff a battilion of troops revolted aod joined a band of riotous strikers. The loyal troops fired on and killed 70 of them, wounded 300 and arrested 200.

The outbreak at Kieff t was due to the Commander's brutality to the officers and some soldier?.

The house percers at Moscow have struck, objecting to being considered as police servants.

Aa official investigation shows that massacres have occurred in 130 localities.

Father Gapon, in tte course of an in terview, declared that tbe extremists are making a grave tactical mistake in expecting democract institutions immediately. The workers nerves are stretohed to breaking point by the feverish propaganda of the extreme parties. Unless the revolutionists are more cautious and unless the workers' leaders refrain from rushing into action and then withdrawing, when ten of thouFauds will be cast on the streets cold and hungry, their revolutionary spirit will weaken and tLe v masses, losing their self respect, will join the "black hundred" and the dregs of society.
