Government Powerless
Strikers, revolutionists and students are
united and authorities without head or
policy--St. Petersburg like a city in
hands of foreign army
[Special Dispatch to the Daily Alaskan.]
St. Petersburg, Oct. 30 ? Developments this morning indicate that a crisis is im
minent with the government absolutely powerless to cope with the situation. The
direction of the strikers and insurrectionists is in the hands of students and workmen who
are thoroughly united. The capital city is like a city in the hands of a foreign army.
Except for an immense searchlight from the top of the admiralty building which is con
stantly sweeping the city there are no lights and many streets are in total darkness.
The government seems to have neither head uor policy. The czar is still hiding in
Peterhoff castle. The countro is fast drifting toward anarchy.
The present is likened by many unto the comparative calm that prevails before the
outbreak of a storm, which when it comes, will reach every nook and corner of the
empire.
OUTBREAK EXPECTED AT MOSCOW
Moscow, Oct. 30 ? This city is completely isolated. An outbreak is expected at
any minute.
AGITATORS ORDERED SHOT
Warsaw, Oct. 30 ? It is learned upon positive proof that the governor issued
positive orders Saturday to shoot down every agitator wherever found.
The telegraph wires are all out of service and no news can be secured from
surrounding places.

of the chamber of commerce to which
had beeo referred the call of the Nome
chamber of commerce.
The committee met Saturday even
ing and it was decided to issue a call
for a mass meeting to inclule the peo
ple of Skagway and vicinity. This will
include everyone between Haines and
the summit of White Pas* and it was
decided to recommend that the meeting
elect five delegates-! kL'nder the call as
made delegates could be chosen from
several of the places surrounding
Skagway including those who live out
side the city limits and at the several
stations along the W. P. & Y. R. be
tween Skagway and the summit.

vene at 8 o'clock.
WRtGK RUMOR
PROBABLY ERROR
The news was brought to town today
by the Peterson that a schooner, sup- 1
posed to be Frandsen brothers' Iona, I
had been discovered bottom up in Mud j
bay, near Haines. The report created j
some excitement in town until it was |
reported that the Dolphin had met the i
Iona at Eagle river under full sail and
all right. If a boat was wrecked at j
Mud bay it was probably some other
craft.
