The moderate liberals also believes
that such a policy would be suicidal

KRUsTALEFF- ARRESTED IN
EFFORT To STOP STRIKE.

st. Petersburg, Dec 5.-(Saturday
evening. Delayed in Transmission -
Another crisis is at hand involving
the indefinite prolongation of the
strike, the probable immediate precip-
itaton of a general strike throughout
Russia and possibly the final struggle
between the government and the pro-
letariat.
This sudden change for the worse is
the result of the shedding of the first
blood In the telegraph strike this af-
ternoon almost simultaneously with
the action of M Durnovo, minister of
the interior, in throwing down the
gauntlet to the labor organizations by
arrestfng NJ Krustaleff, president of
the executive committee Of the work
mems council without warning.
About 2 o'clock several companies
Of Cossacks clattefed through the
streets leading to headquarters of the
council IN Targovia street. Having
barred the approaches a force of
troops and police surtvunded the
building after which secret service
men rushed In and seized Krustaleff.
The latter made no resistance and the
affair was conducted quickly. II was
impossible for Krustalen to conceal
the papers of the organization in
which the police evidently expect to
and evidence proving the ultimate ef-
fect 10 be an armed uprising against
the government
A disturbance I'm which two strik-
ers were killed and a policeman and
several others wounded, occurred at
the same hour Immediately in front of
the general postoffce. The strikers
for two days have been seeking to
persuade the volunteer and regular.
carriers to refuse to work. AT the
door of the building today the strik-
ers enraRed by the refusal of the vol
nnteers to auit. drew knives. where.
nnbn a carrier attempted to defend
himself with revolver. Both the
carrier and his companion were kill

was stood off by the strikers and
workmen who sympathized with them.

Delegates who were sent TO all parts

with enthusiasm and in fact that the
whole country Is ripe for revolution
A vast majority of the workmen are
true revolutionaries, though starva-
ton sometimes compels them to sub

alton for an armed uprising is well
advanced, but il cannot hope to sue

body of troops. The propaganda,
however, has made such strides in the

titled in counting on sufficient support
from that source to insure victory.
i'he peasants everywhere are willing
to join the revolutionarles. They are
the principal suffereres from oppress-
