tial law will probably be proclaimed
in St Petersburg today. 1t is said
/ that the emperor and grand dukes In
sist on this step against the counsels
of Count Witte.
There has been an unprecedented
run on the savings banks.
The situation is becoming critical
The land manifesto proclamation in
the Official Gazette came too late. Al
ready the peasants reply that they do
hot care ana will take what land they
want themselves
Another feature Of the situation is
that 10000 foreign passports have been
applied for in the last fortnight.
A new party of law and order, which
has sprung into being, with organizas
tions in st. Petersburg, Moscow, the
Baltic provinces, Astrakhan, Simfer0s
pol and elsewhere, have for the prinei-
pal plank in their platform the rally
| ing of the sober and conservative
forces of the nation for the purpose
of attaining long expected liberties
through cooperation with Count Witte.
I The party is preaching that all Will
he lost and the country plunged into
hopeless bloodshed unless the ''forces
of law and order unite to aid the pres
mer. NJ Krosowsky, president of the,
st. Petersburg municipal council, has
placed himself ut the head of the ST..
Petersburg group of this new party.
The .workmen's organization has adj
dressed the following appeal to thei
soldiers and sailors:
Comrades and br0thers-For long
time we have misunderstood each 9th

us as enemies of the fatherland ana asi
criminals whom you should shoot, beats
with your whips and butcher with Your
bayonets.
Our struggle for the peoples free
dom aud the peoples well being has
been depicted to you as u revolution
against the fatherland which you are
obliged TO suppress Many Of you now

associate yourself with the struggling
people. You must strike and refuse to
perform the duties imposed on You.
DO not listen to the word of command

According to report here q mutlny

The ear has received n dispatch front
General Linevitch telling him of re-
volt among the troops which was only
suppressed after regular fight, In
which many soldiers were killed or
wounded
Forty-two officers are declared to
have been shot for participation in the
conspiracy
At Riga an attempt was made to as !
SaSsinate the governor. While he WAS
riding in a carriage through the streets
a shot was fired at him from an alley,
but the bullet missed its mark. Tile
would he assassin escaped.
The outlook for an early collapse OF
the strike is more gloomy and the sit
uation distinctly more menacing Tile
council of workmens delegates, or
strike committee. is manlfestly encour
aged by the extension of the strike in
ST. Petersburg.
The wOrkmen's council returned u

The imperial ukase on the land qnes-
ton just issued. although it wipes out J
about S40,O00.0o0 of the peasants ar
rear1ges of debt, which under ordinary
circumstances might have been receiv-
ed with joy, is another disappointment,
The promises of additional lands art
! too vague to calm the agitated starS
ing peasants who. in the valleys of tte |
Don and Nolga, are again marching, !.
pilIaging. burning and numbering.
