CITY UNDER MARTIAL LAW.
y OFFICIAL STATEMENT FROM ST. PETERSBURG. LONDON, Jan. 21. It is understood that the Czar issues a manifesto to-day proclaiming martial law in St. Petersburg, and > will promise a commission to investigate the labour grievances. An official St. Petersburg, statement sets forth that while the strike was orderly it was not suppressed, but that when the Factory Workers' Association overstepped its v. intellectual and religious objects, , and fell unden indulgences, the authorities took action. Father Garpon, the association's president, concealed, it is alleged, from the majority the real character of the insolent political demands of the petition purporting to represent the labour grievances, and also concealed the real purpose of the meeting whereto they were invited in the Square. The bloody collisions were the result of the strikers' refusal to * obey police regulations and of their attack on the military.
