mored that the emperor intends pub

popular representation on the occa-
sion of the czarevitch's birthday.

minister, is expected to succeed Min
lister of the Interior Bulyghin at the

and disorders fills ten pages. Only a
few lines are devoted to each event.
The capture of two tons of powder
at Erivan or 100000 rifle cartridges en-
route to the Caucasus, the discovery
of wholesale bomb works near Ti1is,
are each related in five lines.
Six bombs have been thrown at
Tiflis alone. although the Caucasus,
Poland and Baltic provinces are often
est mentioned. Few towns in Euro
pean Russia are omitted.
Meet in Spite of Prohibition.
Moscow, July 1S. - The projected
meeting of delegates to the zemstvos
from the municipalities of all Russia
will certainly take place in spite OF
the unsettled state of affairs.
The authorities everywhere have
caused announcements to be made
that meetings unsanctioned by the
executive, bureau of joint bodies will
not be permitted.
The executive committees OF the
zemstvos organization met yesterday
at the house of the president of the
Moscow district zemstvos. The act
ing prefect of police sent an officer to
demand the dispersal of the meeting,
but the delegates present
Declined to Obey.
Preserving perfect order, the illegal
meeting was continued. The police
having drawn up protocol, retired,
and the whole matter has been refer
red to the minister of the interior.
Afterward they demanded permission
to hold the congress, the meeting OF
which on July 10, the authorities have
prohibited.
Zemstvos delegates were already be-
ginning to arrive in Moscow The ex-
ecutive bureau has under considera-
ton measures for preventing gen
eral meeting.
Moscow, and, indeed, all Russia, is
in a state of feverish anticipation as
to the outcome of these deliberations,
whose aim is to rescue the country
from the tolls of a corrupt maladmin-
istratiOn.
Serves As a Warning.
Moscow, July 1S.-The fighting or
ganization of the social revoutionists
has issued proclamation announcing
that the death sentence against Maj.
Gen. Count Shuvaloff, chief Of police
here, who was assassinated July H.,
was executed by one OF it's members
ION account of the black and cruel ac-
tivity of this satrap at Odessa (where
Count Shuvaloff was formerly prefect)
and his subsequent return to the ac-
tive service of reaction at the call OF
Trepoff, the pan-Russian dictator, to
stamp out the revolution in Moscow"
The proclamation concludes.
LET this execution serve as jovial
signal to the Russian millions in re-
volt and as the death knell of the 'dy-
ing autocracy. Let it remind all dogs
of the autocracy of national justice"
Dis'odsed by Japs.
Toxic, July 18.-It is officially an
nOunced that the Russian center hold
ing Darline and vicinity was attacked
July IL and offered stubborn resls-
tance The attack was renewed at
dawn of July IL, when the Japanese
dislodged the Russians, driving them
in the direction of Muka. This VIC
tory insures complete occupation OF
South Sakhalin by the Japanese
Russians Driven Northward.
Reliable information has been re-
ceived here that the Russian forces in
Northern Korea have gradually been
driven northward since last month
and now hold only two positions south
of the Tumen river
The latest information from the
front, however. reports the advance
south of large force from Vladivos-
tok. but it is believed the Russians
will halt at Nokicfsk, north of the TIT
men, and concentrate their forces to
make resolute stand there against
the Japanese advance.
