B16 STRIKE BEGUN. FACTORIES CLOSED. Petersburg in Darkness ARREST OF RINGLEADERS ST. PETERSBURG, Friday Night. A general strike has begun here. In the greater part of the city there is no electric light, and the majority of the trams and river steamers are not running. Some fifteen thousand hands left various factories, in- cluding the Phoenix Works, at three o'clock this afternoon. The council of workmen's delegates is co- operating heart and soul with the revolution- ary committees, and this morning addressed an eloquent appeal to the labouring classes to assist in throwing off the yoke of tyranny. Orders have been issued to the railway em- ployes in St. Petersburg to stop work at midnight to-night, and the railway men at Moscow have been directed to come out ?t noon to-morrow. Later. The strike is assuming considerable propor- tions. Most of the factories in the Wyborg district are closed. The railway stations are strongly occupied by troops. No collisions 'between the strikers and the troops have occurred up to the preaent.-Reuter. RINGLEADERS ARRESTED. ST. PETERSBURG, Saturday. I A telegram from Usofga. Ekatermoslav of yesterday says that a body of police and two squadrons of dragoons entered the town at three o'clock in the morning, and arrested the ringleaders of the strike whilst they were in bed. When the workmen discovered this they assembled, to the number of 4,000, and attempted to set their oomradee free. i collision with the troops ensued, a.nd a um bers were wounded. All the agitators were arrested and marched off by the gold i er.Reul,,er. OFFICER'S ADVENTURE. ST. PETERSBURG, Saturday. An interesting detail in connection with the Cronstadt mutiny is that the insurgents wore black bands on their caps to distin- guish them from loyalists. Captain Krinilzky had almost a miraculous escape art Cronsta-dt. He was arrested by the mutinous sailors, and hustled into a spacious avenue, where a court-martial was hastily arranged, the members including civilians and women. He was condemned to death, and sentence was about to be carried out-, when the cry was ra-ised that the Yenissei Regiment were coming; thereupon, Captain Krinitzky made 0. dash for liberty, and escaped, none of the shots which were fired touching him.-Press Association Special. HEI/SINGFORS, Saturday. Through the courtesy of the British Con- sul, I obtained permission from the Gover- nor-General to visit the main island of Sveaborg. The results of the firing were everywhere evident. The fortress bore many signs of bombardment, and great rents in the walls, holes in the roofs, and broken windows told their own tale. The Com- mandant's house was so badly battered that his excellency had to seek ot-her quarters. In the small section of the island, which remained in the hands of loyalists, hardly a single house was undamaged. The streets were strewn with fragments of shell, grape shot, and shrapnel. The tower of the Pier Barracks, on which was t.he flag staff, was much knocked about, and Svea-borg Church, which bears marks of the Anglo-French bombardment of 1855, on its walls and on the Ikon inside, was also struck by the insuTgents shell, though it was severely damaged. Helsingfors now presents the appearance of a camp. Troops with quick-firers are drawn up around the harbour, and are encamped in otfher parte of the town.—Press Association Special. TO OVERAWE THE PEOPLE I ST. PETERSBURG, Friday (1L30 p.m.). The Constitutional Democratic organ, Reitch," has -been suspended indefinitely, by order of the St. Petersburg authorities, in anticipation of labour riots. Steamers, with Quio-k-firiug guns OIl their decks, Are cruising up and down, the Neva. It is understood that some Labour members of the late Duma were among tboee arrestied both at Oveeborg and Kronstadt.—Reuter. HELSINGFOBS, Saturday. It is impossible to obtain, an accurate return of the casualties during the Sveaborg mutiny. They are now believed to number 600, and 1,000 massing. Seventy-five members of the Bed Guard and two offioers were arrested. A mutiny occurred on board the cruiser BogatyT, but was quelled. Two hundred Bailers were arrested.—Reut«r. ST. PETERSBURG, Friday. The first railway to strike was the line to Sestrovesk, one of the most fashionable and popular watering-places otn the Gulf of Finland. It is thronged in the summer by thousands of officials and other prominent members of society. The missing vessel, Abrolf, which was abandoned by the mutineers, arrived at Kronstadt to-day. The funeral of Professor Hertzemstetn, the mur- dered member of the Duma, will take plaoo at Terioki.—Rerater.
