LOOKS VERY CRAVE IN RUSSIA
Strikers throughout empire making- common cause
with revolutionists?Government promises many
liberties to people and does not interfere with
peaceful demonstration--- Traffic suspended
(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskau)
St. Petersburg, Oct. 27 ? The internal condition
confronting the government is very grave. Strikers in
every part of the empire are making common cause with
? the revolutionists, and it is evident that the country is
on the brink of an outbreak that will surpass anything
that has ever been witnessed in Russia.
With the hope cf allaying the feeling aud pre
venting an explosion the ministers today decided to issue
a statement promising absolute freedom to the represen
tatives of the common people to assemble, discuss their
grievances and to present them to tlie governmemt.
Gen. Trepoff has been placed in personal command
of the garrison here and he lias instructed the police not
to interfere with parades or public gatherings of the
people as long a.s they are quiet and do not interfere
with people or destroy property.
The police shows that it fears the mobs which are
hourly growing and in many instances have become ex
cited, throbbing throngs.
The czar is shut up in Peterhoff castle where he re
fuses to see anyone except his ministers.
All railroads and telegraph offices are closed. Traf
fic everywhere is it a standstill and industry is absolute
ly paralyzed, Famine threatens the city and prices of
foodstuffs have reached enormous figures.
