The leaders OF the revolutionary move
ment warn the Gar that they do not

garding the electoral law, deciding

and in favor of the extension of the law
promulgated August 10, last, to include

the country, the workmen and the edu-
Gated classes, the small rent payers in
the cities. The douma will be convoked

Government Expresses Confidence.
In high government circles the great.
est confidence was expressed that the
general strike will fail. So far as st.
Petersburg is concerned the battle GER
tainly has been going against the reyolu'
tionarios.
Unless better results are obtained else
where the leaders may be compelled to
beat general retreat in order to save
their prestige. In spite of the hercu.
lean efforts of the local chiefs to cheer
on their followers, the past forty-eight
hours have not produced any extension
Of the strike.
Mill Hands Back at Work.

vests on Moscow. A telephone message

the most advanced and most thoroughly
organized unions in Russia it is unable
to enforce the newspaper strike. The
Novoe Nremya. Slovo and other conscrv-
ative newspapers expect TO appear to-
day.
The Pan-Russian congress of the
League of Leagues is scheduled to be
held in st. Petersburg tomorrow, but
owing to the strike few of the delegates
are present and the meeting probably
will be postponed like the Xemstvo con
gress of Moscow, until January.
Reign of Terror Expected.
With the political strike as a revolu-
tionary weapon apparently losing its
keeness owing to too frequent use fears
are entertained that the revolutionists
may be driven to return to the old meth
DDS and inaugurate an era of terrorism
The government is aware that a number
of high agents of the revolutionary or
ganization at Geneva recently returned
to Russia and increased precautions are
