st. Petersburg, June 6.-The Rus

Trepoff is given the right by the
ukase 20 close all assemblies and con-
crosses and to suspend indefinitely all
societies. leagues and other bodies
manifestlng pernicious activity and
to take all other steps necessary to
preserve order so as to prevent inter-
ference with the established regime
and to suppress the revolutionary
opaganda.
This ukase, which entrusts almost
dictatorial powers to the head of the
imperial police. to control the agita-

would not mean surrender on humili-
ating terms. The paper maintains at

begun, must be direct, and that there
