 A THREAD OF COMMUNICATIONS.
 With a strike in the government pOstoffice tonight communication with the interior was practically cut off. Troops were placed in the telegraph offices, but only a few lines are work ing. Many lines, including land ] les to the continent and to LIbau where they connect with the caole, nave been cut. At 10 o'clock, how ever, cables by way of Nystad and Sweden were still open.

Pierpont Morgan, Jr. and George w Perkins are negotiating with the American Steamship com pany for the dispatch of a vessel TO take them off if necessary.
 NO TIME TO BORROW MONEY.
 Negotiations for the new loan will be adjourned tomorrow, as neither the nor government are prepared to close negotiations while the present situation prevails.
 The university and all educational institutions were closed today. so as to prevent further meetings being held in them. The university is surround ed by troops. Even the druggists have struck. and as there is much sickness the physicians have divided the city into districts and also have selected stations for the giving of first aid to the injured in case of collisions be- tween troops and the people. Such news as comes from the interior does not show any improvement in the sit i uatiOn The government everywhere seems powerIess to break the political strike.
