Warsaw, Russian Poland. June 26-
The Jewish districts are now in full
revolt The shops and stores are
closed and traffic has ceased. The
street cars have been over turned to
form the nucleus of barricades. Great
crowds are assembling in the streets
and the ugly temper of both the popu-
lace and the roops threatens to break
out in bloodshed at any moment.
Thirty-fOur battaliOns of infantry are
stationed i'm the town.
Barricades have been erected at the
corner of OgrodOWa and ZeIeza streets

in Full Revolt.
General Maximovitch. the governor
general of Warsaw, was appointed
March 5. He is a former hetnan Cor
chief of the Don Cossacks. On
March 30 an imperial rescript was is
sued urging Maxim movitch to elaborate
police reforms. on April the gov
ernOr general summoned the editors
of the Warsaw Dapers to the castle
and talked TO theal freely and in the
most friendly manner, especially on
the question Of censorship. inviting
them to come to him in case of any
difficulty The next day MaXimovitCh
prohibited The sale Of revolvers. pis-
tolls and cartridges throughout the
whole territory under his adrninistra-
tiOn. A plot to aSsassinate the gov
ernOr general was discovered in the
middle of April and soon afterwards
ii was reported that he had rendered
his resignation. but had been prevailed
upon to retain office. On May 10 a
bomb, doubtless intended for the gov
ernor general, was exploded IN MILO

Red Flag Is Raised.
St Petersburg, June 26-The red
flag of revolt has been raised at War
saw, KOvno and other places in Rus
sian Poland out of sympathy with the
victims of the rioting at LOdz and so
far as these cities are concerned, the
situation almost approaches the dig
nifty of open rebellion. The news re-

account Of the vigorous censorship.
but it is evident that the troops are
being resisted and a repetition of the
sanguinary encounters at LODI is ex-
pected- The socialistic parties in Po-

they are all bitterly opposed to the eX-
listing government. The affair at Lodz,
seemingly accidentally precipitated a
crisis, but the authorities declare there
IS no machinery for general insur-
rection behind it. This, however, may
increase the slaughter in crushing the
outbreak. Many people believe that
Governor General Maximovitch is
hardly equal to the task. but so long
rs the disturbance is confined to Rus
sian Poland, the authorities believe it
can be kept in hand. The main dan
ger lies in its spread to socialistic or
ganizations in other parts of Russia
with which those in Russian Poland
are closely allied.
In the meantime. the Caucasus is
afiame with an insurrection on a big
scale The Musselmans are actually
besieging the Armenians in some of
the towns. Peasant uprisings have
also recurred in several provinces
notably Kharkoff. where the estates of
half a dozen nobles have been burned
and where the workmen resisted Cos
