EXILED STRIKERS. MORE RIOTING. ST. PETERSBURG, Feb. 3. Petroff is compelling 1500 Putiloft strikers to tramp to distant villages for refusing to resume work. Some lace workers at Lodz, wishing to resume work, the strikers interfered. The military were summoned and fired upon the strikers who replied with revolvers. Rioting continues. LONDON, Feb. 3. The Daily Express states that authentic figures show that 674 persons were killed and 1403 wounded at Warsaw. Workmen killed a number of “ hooligans ” who had looted houses The Daily Mail states the Government will probably direct the St. Petersburg employers to increase the rate of wages by ten per cent and reduce the hours by one daily. The Daily News’ St. Petersburg correspondent states the educated liberals regard the Czar’s audience with the workers with the utmost contempt. The deputation was subsequently interviewed. Some were gratified, many sullen, and others indifferent. He adds that the whole affair was got up for home consumption.
