NATIONAL ASSEMBLY,
Its Summoning Being Advocated More
Vigorously Than Ever.

St. Petersburg. June 3.-The Russian
press is still advocating more vigors
ously than ever the sum,nonng of the
national ass. mbly, even the reaction
airy Sviet joining in the general chorus,
In view Of the current rumors it Is
most significant that papers which,
have more or less the confidence Of the
government unanimously take the po
sition that the representatives should
decide the question Of peace or war.
All censorship is now removed from
foreign dispatches and the people ar
appalled, at the horrible stories Of
slaughter on board the Russian ships.
The admiralty has not yet been able
to estimat" even approximately from
foreign adviCes the loss of men. but
as the ships We're over rather than I'M
der,nanncl the total will be grea ter
than the ordinary complement Of vrs-
seuS would indicate and probably OK
coed 10000. If only about 1000 were
saved"
Requiem masses are being celebrated
constantly in all churches and ch1pels
for Tho rtpO>r Of the souls Of the Slain
although distracted relatives are un-
able to learn definitely the fate Of those
dear to them.
IT, admiralty ny to the rrrs' nj time
has been unable to throw any. light
on the situation except to announce the
safety Of those who reached Elidivos-
tok
Ugly stories are circulating in this
city Of tho d"morn lizAtirn and even
treaChery of the crews Of several Rus
sian ships during the battle and it is
even said the crew of the battleship
Orel bound the officers and hoisted the
white flag. The origin of these StOries
which are diScrcditrd by all naval men
here, cannot be traced, as the only d.
rect information comes from Japan, but
doubtless they are based on the trouble
among tho "~"v- Of the Orel before her
departure for the far east. She sunk
at her dock before she left Cronstadr
and later at Libau the crew was mu-
tinous.
Indignation against Pear Admiral
Nebogatoff is growing. The epithets,
Toward" and "traitOr" are coupled
with his name, especially since the
receipt Of Toxic dispatches showing his
tie, but with land close under his lee,
to which his crews could have escaped
