ST, Petersburg, April II, 2:47 a, NJ
Russla's information regarding Rojest-
vensky's fleet, It's location, destination
and intentions. is based solely on for
eign kilograms, which are all too mea-
ger to prevent a quick ripening crop Of
rumors, according to one of which the
adverse fleets have already Joined bat
tie.
Others Of these dispatches are at
tempting to locate varlously the bat
tleship division of the squadron. The
admiralty steadfastly processes It's in
ability to impart any light or clarity
the situation, and there is reason to
believe tne profession is made In good
faith, at least as applies to all except
the very highest officials.
The admiralty informed the Assoc
ciated Press today that the report re-
celVed yesterday was not from the
commander of the squadron. but from
the captain of a merchant ship who
had encountered the fleet and reported
70 the Russian consulate at Singapore.
Some naval officers conjecture the
four battleships are delaying In order
TO effect junction with Vice Admiral
Nebogatofs division, but generally
credence is given to the report that the
battleships are taking a southern route
through the Sunday straits, the selec-
ton OF the Singapore route being re-
garded as IN the nature OF feint and
to minimize the danger Of a torpedo
boat attack on the mainstays Of the
feet.
Meanwhile events in Manchuria have
come to a pause, and at home the
main attention Is being given to the
work OF the Boullgan commission,
which Is charged with formulating the
plan for the representative assembly
promised by the imperial rescript Of
March 3. The commission Is meeting
twice weekly. The statement that the
preliminary report of the commission
will be ready before easter is incor-
rect The amount OF material for it's
consideration is too great to permit Of
this The chief problem is that of rep
resentatlon for governments where the
zemstvo organization is not at pres
ent installed and election machinery is
not available.
Revolutionlsts yesterday contrlved
an impromptu meeting in front OF the
Butllon iron works at the hour for be-
ginning work. An immense crowd OF
Workmen was attracted and revolution
airy speeches We're made, red flags pro-
duced and proclamations distributed.
Six policemen who attempted 20 dis

the approach Of the police reserves.
Anti-Semlte proclamations have been
issued at Smolensk and Orel and post
ed at fence corners in that section OF
Russia, calling upon the people to
arise and beat the Jews The effect OF
this Indictment on the peasant popu-
lation in the present condition OF af-
fairs in the rural districts Is feared.
A revolutionary leanet entitled THE
Peoples Journal" distributed by
thousands among the working classes
OF Moscow and the peasants of that
vicinity appears to be a counter blast
to alleged attempts 10 inclte the pro-
letariat against the educated classes.
