ST. PETERSBURG IN A PANIC
I
People fear to leave their houses lest they be impris
oned. Finland declared to be in a state of siege.
Revolutionists executed without trial
[Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan]
St. Petersburg, July 24. ? 1 The czar
has issued a ukase declaring Finland
to be in a state of sie^e. It thus be
comes lawful to arrest members of the
druma who there may attempt to hold
another meeting. The mucb talked of
and greatly feared address to the people
; has been prepared but the government
' has taken every precaution to prevent i
, its circulation. Copies have been fur
| nisheil to all newspapers but policemen
stationed in the offices prevent its being
I
printed or published until the censor
has approved it. This means that it
will not be pub'ished at all, by that
means.
The manifesto urges the people to be
steadfast in the deiaands for their
rights; jt declares the czar has no right
to collect taxes or to draft soldiers. In
the event of the government negoti
ating a loan, the people are urged to
repudiate it. "Stand up," says the
manifesto "for the rights which are ig
nored. but which you possess the means
of acquiring." It says that the blood1
of the people is not on the head of par
liament but upon the bureaucracy.
The majority of the members re
turned to the city tonight and were not
molested by the police, Policemen,
however, were on guard at the homes
of many charged with mutiny and
seditious acts. Since the dissolution of
parliament, many of the radical mem
bers have publicly declared their
willingness to die in their fight for the
people.
Large squads of soldiers are march
ing the streets in every part of the
city.
The prisons are thronged with
alleged revolutionists. It is said tha'
tan thousand were arresled yesterday.
Many, under the military dictatorship
prevaling, are being executed without
trial. Others, only slightly suspected,
are banished. The whole city is suf
fering a panic of fear; the people are
afraid to venture on the str eets. The
developments of every hour are looked
for with the gravest anxiety.

JOE GANS
(Jet* :i Decision Over Holly
at Seattle
[Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan]
Seattle, .July 24.? Joe Cans got a de
cision over Holly at a meeting in this
city last night. The affair was
tame for the most part' and did not
give the spectators value for their
money except in a few rounds where
there was some clinching and close
fighting. There was a great crowd in
attendance and seating capacity was
limited, so the crowd tore a side out of
the building to make seats. The seats j
thus made collapsed and some excite
ment was caused thereby, but no one
was hurt. The decision wbs rendered
in Cans' favor at the end of the "JOtli
round.

MINGS DOING
Juneau Coming to Teach Us
a few Tricks
Ed. L. Harwood of Juneau has written
to W. B. King of the Elks club saying
that Juneau believes it can bowl a little
also as well as play a brand of base ball
that is nothing less than ama/.lng.
Mr. Harwood has heard it rumored up
on the streets of Juneau that them were
people in Skagway who knew how to
bowl. Mr. Harwood asks the plain
question "Is it true ? " He adds that if
there be doubt in tne Skagway mind as
to its ability Juneau would oiler to put
the matter to the test. In a word Mr
Harwood wants to tag along with the
base bill outfit that is threatening an
ascent to this city bringing with him
the best he has as to bowlers to show
Skagway and the Elk's club how the
game is really played.
Mr. King received this letter yester
day and today he has recovered his
breath and talks about it calmly. He
has written to Mr. Harwood saying that
the Elk's club has an expensive alley
which has always '"een something of
curiosity to members and thev are
eager to avail themselves of this chance
to learn its uses.
So, with the prospect of baseball on
the lot by day and bowling in the alley
by night when the Juneauites are turn
ed loose among us, 'he air already be
gins to palpitate.
