RUSSIA DESPERATE.
Frantic Efforts Being Made to Nee, th,
 Situation.


 St. Petersburg, June 30.-(2:5s A m The Russian Government although 1t has been almost paralyzed by the fer rible events at Odessa and the news that the sailors at Lihau also have mus tinied, is making desperate and even frantic efforts to meet the situation and to stamp the flames of revolution before they can spread to the army. which Is now the last buIwark of the autocracy.
 With Poland red with the spirit of revolt. the Caucasus already almost in state of civil war; agrarian disorders spreading rapidly. the whole countr, profoundly stirred and the intelligent classes solidly arrayed against the Government, all conditions seem ripe for the long predicted revolution.
 The first act of the Government after despatching Admiral Kruger's squad ron from Sebastopol. was to summon the Kniaz Potcmkine. whose mutineers have now been joined by the crews of the two torpedo boats which accom- panied it to Odessa, to surrender under the threat of firing on and sinking the vessel. This was followed by the dec- laration of martial law at Odessa and Libau and the clothin. of the military commanders with plenary powers
 The newly formed council for inn perial defence met last night under the presidency of Grand Duke Nicholas and was in session long after midnight Beyond tho fact that the temper of the army was considered at length. noth- ing is known as to what occurred in the council or regarding the decisions at which 1t arrived.
 Great fear is expressed that many regiments are honeycombed with sedi- tion and there is grave doubt of their loyalty should they be called upon to fire upon the revolutionists. Indeed thc most startling stories involving the unreliabillty of the troops are be- ing repeated in St. Petersburg but the truth of many of them is more than questionable.

Quieter at Lotiz.


 Lodz, June 29.-Lodz is today ouieter than 1t has been for months past. The continuance of martial law makes life and property safer than since the strikes which were began in January and ensures resumption prospects for the work in practically every factory in the city,
 Mill owners are looking forward to at least several weeks of steady work, giving them a chance to i'll orders which have piled up owing to the strikes. Martial law has permitted the authorities to announce such measures as will make the resumption of disor- ders practically impossible. It is be- lieved here that even without martial law the people would remain quiet, as they have had a severe enough lesson at the hands of the troops. As tho result of the strikes since Jam uary the workingmen have gained in- creases in wages averaging 20 per cent
