All Russia today celebrated enthusiastical ly the emperor's rift of freedom "which the greater port of the people received with deepest joy, though In St. Peters burg, Moscow nd other cities social ists organised and governed demon strations and red flag parades, which, with the patriotic manifestations led to a number of conflicts between th "Redsf" and "Whites" as the antt-gov ernment and royalist factions are re spectlvely termed. On the whole the day Dossed more quietly In Russia than had been expected though colli stone between the people and the troops are reported from various places, re suiting In ks of life. Permit Assemblies. In each of the wo capitals, St. Pet eretourjr and Moscow, the day was one such a the Russians never before have seen. The Slavic people, which during the long 'war Just closed and , the anxious period preceding the an nouncement of the new era, of const I tutlonatllsm, seemed self-restrained and apathetic, gave Itself up fully to the exuberance of the moment and spent the entlr day In parades and assembly which for the .first time in we nis. tory of Russia were freely permitted Under the orders of Count Wltte and Oen. Trepoff the troops generally were withdrawn from the streets of the cit ies and the fullest rein given the peo pie to lay out their enthusiasm In demonstrations which, so long as they were not destructive, were not Inter fered with. It 'Was a significant omen that after a fortnight of gloomy and depressing weather, symbolic of the daya of the strike, the sum shone out brightly to- lv In St. Petersburg and brought a radiant Indian sumrrvor day. Tht scenes lrr St. Petersburg reminded the observ er of events in an American university town after a great football vk-tory, hut a thousand times magnified. From early morning the streets of the cap! tal were filled with a'masra of demon otratnrs -who parad'ed up and down the long and narrow Nesesky Prospect and tramped time and again the route De tween the two principal centers of Bfemjonstration, the Kasain cathedrM and the university, and was constantly augmented until it reached a grand to tal of fully 200,000 persons. A great majority of the paraders flaunted on the lapel of their coats rosettes and streamers of crimson rib bon, and socialist orators delivered' fiery orations from the balconies of the university and the portico of the cathe dral, or wherever they could gather audiences. They declared the conces sions of the emperor's manifesto were insufficient, and that they must have the freedom of all political prisoners, the formation of a national militia and the banishment of Gen. Trepoff and all the troops under his command, twenty miles from the city. The most serious encounter during the day took place near the barracks of the Seminoff regiment, where a crowd of demonstrators in attempting to march to the technological institute were stopped by troops. The authorities are apprehensive for tomorrow, when the liquor shops, which for the most part were closed today, will fee open, and when the agitators, after a day's incendiary speeches, may be able to work a portion of the popu : latlon to the point of a serious encoun ter with the troops or with, the loyal ists. ' No Collision. , Up to o'clock tonight no serious col lisions had taken place here as the result of demonstrations over the oar's manifesto, although there seemed to be momentary danger of great disor ders. The workmen all over the city. left their work during the afternoon and drifted to the center of the city massing before tihe Kasun cathedral. Fully a hundred thousand persons gathered In the great square complete, ly filling the space between the spread ing eolonades of the cathedral, whose wings, like St. Peter s at Rome, DEMANDS OF PEOPLE ireicn out iiko amis un cimer .uc The Welcome Announcemen Comes Close on Heels of Change In Russia. The spectacle was impressive. In the gathering gloom the red banners massed behind speakers on the cathe dral steps seemed like splashes of blood against the grey, cold, imposing edl flee. The orators were mostly students. and workmen. Their appeals kindled the wildest enthusiasm In the crowds, which Included hundreds of women and girl students. The oratory continued for hours and while it was in progress a procession was formed with students at Its head bearing red flogs. A cry was set up of "To the bastlle" and the procession started In that dl- rectlon. Preparations had been made against attempts to storm the political prison, termed the Bastlle, and all the afternoon two companies of the Zams koff regiments were drawn up on Sperl- na street. The leaders of the proces. slon, however, had already been ad vised that Count Wltte had announced that an amnesty proclamation was be.
