MINOR STATE OF SIEGE
REPORTED USELESS IN RUSSIA
FOR PUBLIC ORDER.

ST. PETERSBURG. May 26-The council
Of the empire has increased the appropria-
ton for public education by $625. 600
Private reports from Zhitomir province
of Volhynia, say the tension between the
Jews and Christians Is increasing, and
that both sides are arming.
The Ignaueff commission for the revi-
sion of exceptional laws designed for safe
guarding public order, has pronounced
against a continuance of the minor state
OF siege which is annually declared In
many russian cities. The commission finds
that 1t led to the greatest abuses and
arbitrariness and furnished a pretext for
domiciliary visits and summary arrests.
zine commission recommends that entire
abolition of the so-called minor state of
siege and the substitution at times of great
public stress of martial law so as to leave
the cities either in normal condition with
the civil authority in full sway or entirely
under the control of the military.
