If, on the other hand the troops or

act, blood may be shed, and the spark

the world.
Precautions Taken.
The government is taking every pre-
caution to curb any disturbance Mill
tary forces will be posted at strategic
points, but concealed in the neighboring
houses as much as possible. for even
the reactionists have no desire to excite
the strikers by a too open display OF
force
would be nothing less than a wholesale
massacre before the very eyes Of the
Gear
The strikers claim they will go to
carry arms they would have no chance
before the soldiers firing upon them
from sheltered positions.
Quiet Is Anticipated.
There is q general belief that no such
1amentable occurrence will take place
The Car is now in consultation with

and that his advisers acquiesce in this
opinion. No final decision in the mat

Mirsh May Stay.
One result of the present agitation is
that the intrigues against Prince Swat
polsk-Mirski the minister of the inter-
Tor. have ceased The whole autocracy
fully understands the dangerous posi-

Except for few hot-heads in their

strikers would regard it as a challenge
thrown them by the reactionaries. This
might readily cause the precipitation OF
the much-feared struggle between Ia
Dor and the government.
