fiuence.

fiuence.
Paris, Aug. ga sentiment Of deep
anxiety prevails In official quarters
here concerning the outcome of the
Portsmouth conference owing to the
receipt Of discouraging advices. Pri-
vate reports received through official
channels show that Grand Duke Vlad-
tmir, uncle of the emperor, Is casting
his powerful influence In favor of
peace, but that owing to his personal
unpopularity the war element appears
to be strongly In the ascendancy.
The authorities here are inclined to
take the view that the influence of
Germany has something to do with
Russia's uncompromising attitude.
Premier Rouvier is still In Paris,
with his vacation in suspension, main.
ly betause Of the proposed military
demonstration against Morocco. While
continuing to exert its moral influence
towards the success of the pegotia-
tions at Portsmouth the government
has thus far refrained from formal In
tervention.

MANY AND AUSTRIA.
Revolutionists Are Storing Weapons
In Every industrial Center and
Bloodshed Days Are Not
Over.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 2O.-After a long
and careful investigation the Publish
ers' Press correspondent is convinced
that the chances for the solution of the
internal problems without bloodshed
are very slender. The worst feature of
the position is the unwillingness of
those responsible to the government to
realize the stupendous danger which
faces them The proposed legislative
assemblage is regarded with contempt
by vast majority of the Social DEM
ocrats.
The revolutionists have taken to
heart the lesson of last January. which
found the laboring class unarmed. To-
day they are possessing themselves of
weapons to significant extent. AL
ready rifles, revolvers, bayonets and
cartridges are stored in every large in
dustrial center and arms are still pour
ing In from Germany and Austria by
way of the Baltic, and from Finland by
way of the Black Sea.
