The police have been baff1ed in their
efforts to find the printers and dis
seminators of these bills
Peasants Riot in Bloodshed.
The situation is more desperate than
ever, and not a. ray Of hope glimmers
in any part of the empire. Troops are
helpless and peasants riot and loot
at will. In the Baltic provinces the
French revolution has been outdone.
On the snowy reaches around Riga
mobiles have been slain in scores, their
bodies thrown to the vultures, and
their ancient castles made scenes of
orgies Of drunken peasants. The pal
: aces of the nobility are blazing from
st. Petersburg to Odessa, and the mu-
tilated bodies of the partisans of the
emperor fill the bitches of country
roads and the cutters of the streets OF
the rebellious cities. Mobiles who have
been able to escape the vengeance of
the peasants in the country and the
proletariat in the town are fleeing to
the frontiers, leaving immortal halls
and wide estates as loot for the now
fully aroused people.
Rebels Seize Many Towns.
Insurgents in Courland have seized
