DM Oil DECK AGAIN

Brings to Si. Petersburg the Red Challenge of Revolution to Bloodshed. ACT AS FIREBRANDS Mob Parades the Streets Singing Revolutionary Scns. Needed Little to Produce Another 'Kel Sunday" Mob Is Dispersed with the Whip No One Is Killed. St Petersburg1, March G. The opening of the duma, or lower house of the Russian parliament, although in itself devoid of incident, was made the occasion of a great revolutionary demonstration by the St. Petersburg proletariat and the students of the city, which resulted in several encounters between the police and the populace, and more or less serious injury to many of the latter. The situation was such that the authorities finally were forced to 11 the streets with military patrols. i. Elements of "Red Sunday." After the adjournment of the session of the house a tumultuous crowd, by this time estimated to number close to 40,000 persons, with red banners flying and accompanied by the music of revolutionary chants, started like the followers of Father Capon on Jan, 22, 1905, toward the central quarter of the city, where the Winter Palace of the emperor is located. Few elements of the prelude of "Red Sunday" were lacking, and the command "fire" would have precipitated a similar massacre. But the prefect, General Drachcffskl, dispersed the procession by charges of mounted gen d'armes armed with whips, and by an imposing display of force prevented the demonstrators from reforming. Members of the Duma Firebrands. During the long hours of the morning and afternoon the police guarding the Tauride palace acted with great forbearance, giving the spectators a free vent in singing and cheering, and only interfering to prevent the people from forcing their way into the palace. When the deputies emerged after the adjournment of the session the temper of the crowd was fired by speeches from Social Revolutionary members, a dozen of whom mounted upon the shoulders of their followers and harangued those present upon the necessity of organizing to support parliament against the government. MOB INVITED A FIGHT Motto Full of Blood Adopted Police Have to Fall Back. The Social Revolutionary motto ''Through fight our right" was adopted as a general slogan, and simultaneously red handkerchiefs began to flutter above the heads of the crowd and then the crimson banners appeared like magic. The crowd, siuging tne Marseillaise and battle songs of the Russian revolution, then moved slowly down the broad Fourchtadtstaia avenue, stopping at intervals to listen to speeches and to sing. It demonstrated on the way in front of the house of the chief of the secret police, where a small force of gen d'armes made an attempt to disperse the people, but soon fell back In face of the resolute bearing of the manifestants, who followed them with cries of "Hangmen." "bloodhounds." In the meanwhile the authorities had hastily concentrated a strong force of gen d'armes, which charged the head of the procession when it reached the LItolny prospect, one of the main business avenues of the city. The gen d'armes plied their whips vigorously, and in one case used the flats of their sabres. The crowd attempted to reassemble in front of the detention prison, where hundreds of political prisoners are confined, and again in frout of the general court building, where the political trials are held, but In each instance it was dispersed.' The gen d'armes by this time had been reinforced by detachments of the Chevalier guards, who galloped hither and thither clearing the roadway amid curses of derision from the sidewalks. FIrally a large force of Cossacks, armed with lances, arrived In sight. The spiteful, red-pennoned weapons, which never before had been brought out In street demonstrations, took all the heart out of the crowd. The only event of Importance that took place In the duma was the erection as president of M. Golovin. "COMPROMISE NOT possiriLrr That This Duma Will Also Be Dissolved Seems Very Likely. Several consultations have been held recently by the leaders of the opposition in ae duma to sec -whether some sort of compromise with the government was possible, but after full consideration It was announced by Professor Mllukoff that no arrangement could be made so long as M. Stoiypln remained at the head of the cabinet. The opposition demand the premier's resignation, and do not expect to do any - constructive work until It Is received. This attitude leads to the belief that the second duma will follow 'the steps of the first, the parallel extending to dissolution. The leaders of the opposition who believe that what they call "the sacred nses ci tiie people''- jrill be aroused
