st. Petersburg, Nov. Is. - Disquiet-
ing reports of the progress of agrarian
disorders in Poland were received last
night. The military authorities are
rushing troops and machine guns into
the affected areas Inhabitants of
Karsk and Tugansk are organizing for
the protection of their respective
towns. The village of Balanda, in the
government of Sa%ratoff, has been fired
by peasants.
It is generally believed here that
both Germany and Austria have given
Russia assurances of support, but of
what nature cannot be learned. Wheth-
err or not this is true, both Germany
and Austria naturally are Interested

on their hands-in not raising the Pol
ish hopes of a restoration of the an

ent movement in Poland certainly will
not receive the sympathy of the gov
ernments beyond the western border.
All Parties RalIyine.
Private and reliable reports from
Warsaw say that all the parties there
are joining in the nationalist move
ment, following the tactics of Finland
for a complete strike. So far as their
attitude Of passive resistance contin-
ues the issue will be one of endurance.
The danger is that the Poles may pro-
woke active measures which would
can nothing short Of civil war.
i. 1t would be extremely difficult under
the present conditions to attempt to
withdraw any troops from European
Russia. The number of troops in Po-
land, however, is supposed to be sufi-
cient to
Cope With the Situation.
With the Polish "quadrilateral" on
each side of the Vistula and on the
Bug, there are over 600, 900 troops.
The government has decided to
make an appeal to the peasants. With
the workmen Of the cities completely
estranged from the government, and
the Liberals absolutely refusing to
help the authorities, there is nothing
left but to turn to the peasants, and
the emperor has approved an ukase
informing them that measures for the
amelioration of their condition will re-
ceive immediate consideration.
The discomfort of the Poles and
danger of the spread Of the agrarian
movement largely contributed to the
governments decision.

Z. For the purpose of restoring order
and public security in the provinces
chiefly affected by agrarian disorders,
it has been decided to send to the
provinces of Saratoff, Shernigoff and
Tamboff aides de camp of the emper-

They will not only have the right to re-

to supersede all local officials and take
