Thousands of reinforcements are
reported to be marching from Thusoy
Camp, fifteen miles away.
Up to the present all is quiet ana
order prevails, but a conflict Is not
improbable The city is crowded with
outsiders and numerous meetings are
being held for the further discussion
of the situation.
The Senate, believing that TRANQUIL
lily cannot be maintained until the full
legal order of things is established.
today resolved that the Emperor should
be requested to summon the Diet, 10
repeal the dictatorship and to grant
other reforms including the abolition
of the censorship pending the estab-
lishment of freedom of the press and
the removal of all grievances connected
with the military service.
Finally the Senate resolved that as

be appointed. The resolutions were
signed by all the senators and were
dispatched to st. Petersburg tonight
by the cruiser Asia together with the
designations OF the senators.

continues; there are no newspapers pub

stiIl prevails. Telegraphic communi-
cation is interrupted with all railroad
stations in Finland and also with the
towns of Tammerysfors, Viborg,
Jysaveskylyae and Willamnstrand.

of the day that artillery was APP
preaching the town, a deputation rep
resented to the commander of the gar
rison, that as the whole Russian peo-
pie were fighting for freedom, the
Firms were doing the same and would
regard the artillery as a hostile force.
The commander replied while order
was maintained the troops would not
interfere.
Prince John Obolensky. the governor
general. has also promised that the
troops will not interfere with peacea-
bly, disposed persons or with meetings.

summoning of a constitutional assem-
bly, on the basis of universal suffrage
