HYSTERlA IN RUSSIA.
ST. Petersburg Appears to be Ter.
rOriZed.

st. Petersburg advices state: Follow
ing a session by the council of ministers,
an imperial edict was published Friday
morning fOrbidding meetings in the uni
versities to which the general public is adj
mitted and ordering the universities to be
closed if such meetings continue. This
step is taken owing to the fact that the
creasing attendance, and that they are
of revolutionary character.
St. Petersburg was in d panic Thurs
day, but to a large extent apparently
without reason. The most alarming I'll
mors were in circulation, and the shop
keepers on all except a few of the princi-
pal streets closed their stores and board
ed up the doors and windows. while
peaceful-minded inhabitants kept within
doors. Anxiety was evidenced in the
whole atmosphere of the city, but so far
nothing has occurred to justify these
fears. There were no disorders.
Gen. Trepoff, who has been pllced in
command of the st. Petersburg garrison
and given an additional division of rein
forcements, declares that he is amply able
to maintain order, and the police are al
lowing the strikers to vent their enthusi-
asm SO as to avoid conflict.
Gen. TrepOff instructed the police not
to interfere with the parades so long as
they were orderly, but he gave notice
Thursday night that he was prepared to
cope firmly with all disorder. He had
printed i'll all the evening newspapers
notification that the troops would be or
dered to use ball cartridges in case there
should be any outbreak.
BY the greatest eXertiOns the govern
ment succeeded in moving trains manned
by military operatives on Il few railroads.
Traffic was resumed irregulary on the
Moscow-St. Petersburg, line and on lines
to Brest and Kazan. The main efforts
were directed to the moving of cattle
trains so as to meet the pinch of ap.
preaching famine in the two capitals and
one train load of cattle arrived at St Pc
terSburg and another at Moscow. A
scanty supply of milk, butter and eggs
is arriving i'll st. Petersburg over the Fin
land railroad, the employees of which re-
fuse to strike.
The situation cannot be regarded as
much improved.

the track about 100 yards from the

plunged the whole train would be drag

engine across the bridge when the bridge
was battered down by the cars.

Special attention has been given tht
matter of crop enumeration this year by
the state bureau of statistics. The mat
ter of acreage enumeration constitutes
the basis upon which all crop calculation
must be formed, and from the first of the
year until the assessors completed their
enumerations the bureau used every
means to impress upon the assessors the
necessity of thoroughness in the collec.
ton of acreage statistics. The result was
very satisfactory to the officials and they
consequently believe that the figures on
acreage this year are as accurate and
complete as 1t is possible to secure. Com
missioner Bush and Chief Clerk Despair
have organized q system of crop CORE
spondents over the state, consisting Of
ten crop correspondents in each county.
These are located in as many different To-
calities in the county as possible, and are
instructed to estimate crops only within
a radius of eight miles of their residence.
The average Of these ten estimates con-
stitutes the bureaus estimate for the

ducers.
