Fear Disorder in Russia.
ST. PETERSBURG, June &-3,35 a. m.-
Beyond the bare announcement that firing
was again heard Saturday night In the
Jewish quarter at LODI and that the Jews
are leaving the city in great numbers, there
is almost nothing known about the situa-
tion at Lodz and the developments of Sat
urday and Sunday.
The lack of information prevented any
manifestation of feeling on the part of
workmen of st. Petersburg, many of whom
are in sympathy with social revolutionary
doctrines and for the same reason there is
little discussion in the clubs and cafes most
of the people not being aware that any
thing unusual is happening in Poland
When the details become known It may
be expected that the news will create the
deepest impression in all Industrial sections
of Russia and bring about disorders, which
would be particularly unfortunate coming
just at this juncture when the government
is bending every effort to induce the people
to be patient and to await the issuance of
a ukase announcing the convocation of a
national assembly, the proclamation regard
ing which cannot be long delayed The
date for the convocation was some time ago
tentatively fixed for June 2S but the final
revision of the project is taking longer
than had been expected and the ukase will
probably have to be postpoped
