Wholesale Arrests in Russia OF
Hundreds of Members of
Noble Families.
They are Charged With Being Con-
cerned in the Movement for
the Creation
Of Popular Assembly to be
Elected by the People at
Large.
The Situation Desperate,

LONDON, Nov. 17.-Since the arrest at
Moscow, on Thursday last, of about a
hundred members of noble families,
iterateurs and others, charged with be-
ing concerned in the movement looking
to the creation of q popular assembly of
parliament similar to the Temsky labor
assemblies under the early czars, it has
has become known that this alleged
conspiracy was Of much wider extent
than at first supposed, and it is said
that several hundred people have been
taken into custody, in addition to those
referred to. From the time the dis
covery of this plot" became known, the
correspondents in Russia of the news
agencies and newspapers have been do
ing their utmost to discover the true
inwardness of these wholesale arrests
but apparently without success, for
little or no news regarding this revolu-
tionary movement can be procured.
A United Press correspondent at ST.
Petersburg wires as follows: "Strictest
censorship press dispatches observed.
Government contemplating severe
measures against newspaper correspon-
dents. Almost impossible to get or send
facts regarding arrests of mobiles and
others who have been planning creation
Of parliament elected by people, r.
ported extensive arrests here as we'll as
Moscow and other cities. All informal
ton refused. Police advise correspond
ents to uncomment on arrests. Situa-
ton very grave. Widest rumors circu-
lating."
Situation Desperate.
In this city, however, there are q
number Of prominent Russian exiles
who seem to be able to laugh at the
Russian police, and who are kept con-
.stantly well informed by some secret
means of all that transpires in Russia.
One Of the most prominent of these
refugees, was questioned in regard to
the large number Of arrests now being
made in Russia. After the correspon-
dent had pledged himself not to use
his informant's name, the latter
said in substance that never in the
history Of the Russian empire was the
situation of affairs within the domin-
ions Of the car so desperate and so
weighted with danger to the. imperial
regime. Not quarter of the real hor-
rors of the famine are known, he added,
thousands are dying in the famine
stricken districts, of starvation Or ty-
phoid fever, influenza or other diseases.
In some sections, said the Russian gen.
tleman referred to, the distress is as
when the cholera or the plague swept
down upon villages and towns and
nearly wiped their inhabitants off the
face of the earth.

ping incident of Saturday, in which Hon.
John D. Lawler, banker and ex-territori-

When Robt. H. MacBride, one of the

the public was startled by the announce

articles which appeared in various pa
Spers Of the northwest and Chicago, cast

character and accusing him of many
