STRIKE OVER IN ST. PETERSBURG

Employes of the Putiloff Iron Works Have Returned to Work. GREAT CONFIDENCE PREVAILS Governor General Trepoff Says There Is No Danger of Renewal of Trouble. Preparing for Flection of Representatives on the Mixed Commission of Masters and Workmen Disorder at Moscow. St. Petersburg, Feb. 15. —The last visible vestige of the great St Peters burg stride disappeared Tuesday when the employes of the Putiloff iron works

returned. In all the works, ballots are being distributed for the election Sunday of representatives on the mixed commission of masters and workmen. Current rumors of trouble on the holiday, on which occasion it has been reported that the revolutionaries had planned an armed uprising, seem to be totally without foundation. The Associated Press has been informed at the headquarters of the governor general there is not the slightest apprehension as to a renewal of the disorders. Greatest Confidence Prevails. On the contrary, it is reported the greatest confidence prevails that the measures taken will prove satisfactory to the workmen, as the latter will be heard regarding the formulation of new laws and the adjustment of existing differences. The political side of the situation is considered no longer a serious factor at present. Rumors that General Trepoff will be appointed minister of the interior are not confirmed in the best-informed circles, where it is believed the post of governor general will be continued for several months at least. The holy synod has directed all priests to communicate the terms of the imperial ukase regarding the mixinl commission to their parishioners. In quiries made at the ministry of the interior show no confirmation has been received there of the report from Per lin that further anti-Semite riots have occurred at Gomel. Moscow Still In Revolt. London, Feb. 15.—The Standards Moscow correspondent reports that as tonishing demonstrations occurred at file annual ball of the engineering institutes. held in the hall where the as sembly of nobles sits. After the customary concert, instead of dancing, the whole gathering drowned the orchestra bj singing "The Marseillaise.” Then students arose in quick succession and made revolutionary harangues, which were enthusiastically applauded. Proclamations were distributed broadcast and cries of ‘‘Stop the war” and “Down with the autocracy” were made. The scenes continued, increasing in intensity, for two hours. The police formed a cordon around the hall, but were powerless to Interfere, as the nobles’ assembly hall possesses on ancient privilege against arrest.

GOVERNOR GENERAL TREPOFF.
