THE REVOLUTION IN RUSSIA
• A despatch from Petrograd dat-
ed March 15th, give:3 the fol-
lowing account of the recent revo-
lution, After a brief revolution in
Petrograd, born of the united forces of
the Durna and the army, Emperor
Nicholas II. has abdicated and his
younger brother, Grand Duke Michael,
secondl son.of Emperor Alexander III.,
has been appointed regent.
Representatives of the nation heaa-
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
raade secure by the co-operation of
the guard and regiments in Petrograd
and active support given in Moscow.
Alex. Protopopoff, head of the In-
terior Department, ex -Premier Stur-
mer and the other Ministers, as well
as the President of the Imperial Coun-
cil, are under arrest.
The sole survivor of the old regime
is Poklovsky, Minister of Foreign
Affairs.
The whole garrison of Petrograd
has gone over to the Provisional Gov-
ernment.
After three days of battle between
troops supporting it and those oppos-
ed to it a revolution was successfully
effected in Petrograd.
In the three days of fighting the
troops opposed to the revolution were
assisted by the police.
• The Duma joined hands with the
revolution on being dissolved by the
Emperor and declared that the ex-
isting Government had been over-
thrown. The Duma resumed its sit-
tings after it had sent notification
to the Emaeror of the these develop-
ments, warning him that the fate of
the dynasty depended on his accept-
ance of the new order of affairs.
Perfect order prevails. So far as
is known no foreigners were injured.
All the Ministers resigned with the
exception of M. Protopopoff, Former
Premier Sturmer, Premier Golitzine
and the head of the secret policeiwere
arrested.
The jails were thrown open. The
headquarters of the secret police and
several Government buildings were
