The impatience at the delay in the
realization OF all the projected reforms
is having bad effect. The various
commissions are making little progress.
The Liberals are acting in unison, de-
manding that half the members Of the
commission shall be representatives OF
progressional bodies, and these demands
are being supported by the adoption of
resolutions all over the empire. The
moderates especially deplore the reasser-
ton that the elections from the different
states Of the realm, when held, viii
be only for the purpose Of deciding in
what form the deliberative element may
be introduced alongside the bureaucracy,
but without defined authority under the
autocracy.

ganism 10 be created under the rescript.

present is no time for delay. Minister
Bouligan even was told the number Of
delegates he should summon from var
ious urban centres. The action Of the
Museovites, which viii be communicated
to other zemstyos, indicates strong
determination not to perriii the move
ment TO slumber or come 60 naught.

rian troubles are noted, and near Libau
workmen and peasants are making COM
mon cause. The Caucasus is already the
scene of armed resistance to the forces
Of civil authority, and in the region
around Kietf, where the peasants are
increasingly bold, there have been many
cases Of violence. The labor leaders of

the great industrial centres are plainly
planning to synchronize general re-
newal of the strike, with the climax Of
the peasant disorders and with the ac-
ton Of the troops in mind, have been
serving notice by anonymous letters and
other warnings ON guard officers here
and officials in other cities that il an
other red Sunday" comes and they or
der the troops to fire they will be held
therefor and their lives be
made the forfeit. A newspaper in the |
