SON, GRAND DUKE MICHAEL REGENT
Slruggle Between Duma and Reactionary Party Ends in Revolu-
tion—German
ftevolu-tion•--German influence Overthrown.
A despatch from Petrograd saYs;
After a brief revolution in Petrograd,
born of the united forces of the Duma
and the army, Emperor Nicholas II.
has abdicated and his younger brother,
Grand Duke Michael, second son of
Emperor Alexander III., has been ap-
pointed regent.
Representatives of the nation, head-
ed by M. Rodzianko, President of the
Duma, and a Provisional Government
of twelve members, have established
a new order,
The success of the revolution was
made secure by the eo•opez'ation of
the guard and regiments in Petrograd
and active support given in Moscow.
Alex, Protopopoff, head of the In-
terior Department, ex -Premier Stur-
neer and the other Ministers, as well
as the President of the Imperial Coupe:
ell, are under arrest.
The sole survivor of the old regime!
is Pokiovsky, Minister of Foreign Af-
fairs.
The whole garrison of Petrograd
has gone over to the Provisional Gov -'i
ernment,
Famous Russian Guards Joined Duma.
One of the most impressive scenes
of the revolution was the arrival of
the Preobrajenaky Guards, with their
colonel and officers, at the Tauris Pal-
ace. The men, all 0f giant stature,'
were drawn up in ranks of four deep
the whole length of the enormous
Catherine Hall, where the President;
of the Thema had come to greet them.
On the appearance of President Rod-,
zianko the colonel's voice rang,'
"Preobrajenskys, attention!" The
whole regiment stood at salute. Rod-
zianko saluted them as follows: "Sol-
diers of the tree faith, let me as an
old soldier greet you according to our
custom. I wish you good health."
"Your Excellency!" came the thun-
derous response.
The President continued: "I want
to thank you for coming to the help
of the members of the Imperial Duma
to establish order and safeguard the
honor and glory of our country while
your comrades are fighting in the;
trenches for the might and majesty
of Russia. I am proud my son has
been serving since the beginning of
the war in your gallant ranks. Return
quietly to your barracks and come.
here at the first call when you may;
be required."
"We are ready," answered the
guards; "show us the way."
"The old authority is incapable of
leading Russia the right way," was
the answer. "Our first task is to es-
tablish a new authority which we all
believe and trust, which will be able
to save and magnify our mother,
Russia."
The soldiers marched out shouting,
"Hurrah, Rodzianko!" He was greet-
ed in the same manner by the officers
and men of the Grenadier Guards and
officers and troopers of the Ninth Cav-
alry Regiment. All the regiments af-
ter visiting the Duma returned to the
barracks with bands playing and
colors flying amid the enthusiastic
cheering of the people.
