TREPOFF THE DICTATOR.
PL4N TO CRUSH REVOLT.
Russian Emperor Issues Ukase-
Peoples Hopes Dashed.

c. Petersburg June 5-Tho Russian govern
n,ent has shown that it has not weakened in TINS
hour of disaster Instead of yielding to the
stormy demands which the Radicals hoped the
naval defeat would force the government 70
grant. the Emperor yesterday issued a ukase
comforting greatly increased powers on Gov
ernor General Trepoff. making him Assistant
Minister of the Interior, in place of Major Gen
eral Rydzefsky, who is made Senator Trepof
is also made chief of the department of police
and commander of the corps of the gendarmerie
General Trepoff has the right under the ukase
to close all assemblies and congresses TO sus-
nend indefinitely all societies, leagues and other
bodies manifesting pernicious activity. and To
take all other steps necessary to preserve order
so as to prevent interference with the estab-
nshed rule and to suppress the revolutionary
propaganda.
This ukase. which intrusts almost dictatorial
powers to the head Of the imperial police to con-
troll the agitation now almost peremptorily de-
manding a constitution. representative govern
ment and the surrender of the vital principles
of the autocracy, and to put down the disorders
with which the revoutionarfes are threatening
the country, makes him responsible to the En-
peror.
The document is of the deepest Importance
in the present state of Russia, and indicates
that the government, while steadily proceeding
in It's plans for the fulfilment of the Imperial
promises contained In the rescript of March D.
is determined not to be swerved from its pur-
pose by the pressure of military and naval dis
asters.
According to the Russ the result OF the
Iabors of the rescript commission, which has
now been printed and submitted to the commits
sioners, does not embody definite plan for the
organization and functions of new government
body, but rather collection and classification
OF the necessary data for the formation OF an
assembly giving alternative views of the va
rious points in dispute and leaving the final oe-
cision In the hands of the Ministers.
The material gathered by the commission mas
been grouped under six heads First an historical
survey of the forms assumed by popular repre-
sentation I'm Russia from the fifth to the sixth
century; second. consideration of the effect OF
the sumnoning OF a popular assembly on the
country under present circumstances; third the
extent to which suffrage shall be granted
whether on universal educational or property
tions should be represented; fourth the extent
of the assenbly's right to interpellate ministers;
fifth the extent of the assemblys rights over the
budget, and last, what provinces of government
should be removed to the competency OF the as
semhly.
Thus nothing regarding the Imperial douma
has been predetermined the Minister of the In
| terror reservng the right to give his opinion
| to the ministers.

were raised of Let us attack the police!' Chairs
were seized and hurled at the police, the crowd
being led by a colonel with a drawn sword.
The policemen fed precipitately.
Order being restored, a number of speeches
were delivered on the national crisis. Suddenly
the police, reinforced to between two hundred
and three hundred men, again invaded the hall
and rushed on the audience with drawn swords.
The people defended themselves with chairs and
sticks but after ten minutes were driven from
the hall into the gardens. where there was a
battalion of tiraflieurs. who raised their rifles
to their shoulders preliminary to the order TO
fire being given, causing a panic. The public
fed toward the exits, and finding them closed,
smashed the doors and windows of the hall and
so gained the street Many persons were in
tured, some so seriously that they had to be
taken to a hospital

from dispatches to THE Daily Telegraph sent
from various points in Japan relating to the
naval battle:
The commander of a Japanese torpedo boat

eyes of his crew almost binding them. This
men had their faces skinned. Some were brine
soaked while others were bespattered with the
warm blood of their wounded comrades.
1t is said that the Russian ships fell
down, not on account of their wounds, but ow-
ing to unconsciousness from mere fatigue.
An engineer officer of the Russian destroyer
Gromski, describing the fight, says:
Whitehead torpedo struck us right astern.
Twenty-one officers and men, including our
captain were killed instantly. Twenty-three
others were shot overheard. The remaining
twenty-five exploded charge in the destroyer
and sank her. Then plunged into the sea,
expecting to be finished by the japanese quick
firing guns but to our ama8ement we were res
cued by Japanese.
The captain of the Russian cruiser Admiral
the battle, says:
On entering the strait Admiral Rojestvensky
hoisted his signal of battle, which read, I'VE
must have not only a triunDhal entry into
Vladivostok, but must sink part of the Japa-
nese fleet on the way.
The captain ascribes the defeat to Rojestven-
sky's indecision and to the utter loss of COM
nunication between the ships-
