St PETERSBURG, Feb. 2G-AH the Russian rail-

placed under martial law.
Evidence is increasing that strikes through

that this widespread agitation may be con-
nected with a plan TO await possible peasant
outbreak in the spring and then TO call a gen
eral strike. the workmen joining hands with ths
peasants
The situation in Riga is again reported to be
very serious The authorities there are ap-
parently unable to cope with the IawIess els-

In the Caucasus conditions practically amount
to civil war. At Baku the inhabitants barri-
caded in their houses. are petitioning the au-
thorities at st. Petersburg for relief. The gov
ernment is sending reinforcements of troops.
but while these may be able to stop the reign OF
terror they will be impotent TO start the wheels
of industry. Proprietors fear that the oil wells
will be utterly ruined if pumping is suspended
much longer. Conditions in other towns In the
Caucasus are equally desperate.
Dispatches from Batoum report that domicil-
iary searches for arms have been instituted in
the quarters Of the workingnen
Owing to the gravity of the situation in the
Caucasus and apprehension based on lack OF
district troops for the war. the government has
appealed 10 the Armenian Catholics to exert
his personal influence to persuade Armenians to
cease their excesses The Catholics went te

say that it is impossible for them 20 concede so

The question of convoking the zemsky sober is
apparently not yet settled. Some OF the En-
peror's advisers are pressing the idea that to
summon a land parliament at this time would
be fatal TO the autocracy. but that as preIiTn-
