 London, Dec. 7.-The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Daily Telegraph, in dispatch, dated December 5, sent by way of Eydtkuhnen, East Prussia, says:
 "Lieutenant-G General Sakharoff, for mer minister of war, was assassinated to-day.
 '"The government had deputed Gen. eral Sakharoff to visit the province of Saratoff for the purpose of quelling the agrarian riots there.
 "A woman belonging to the so-called Flying Columns of the revolutionary movement called at the house of the governor of saratoff at noon to-day and asked to see General Sakharoff.

 tThe tidings reached St. Petersburg tonight. Count Witte charged Lieu tenant General Rudiger, minister of war, with the task of breaking the news to Madame Sakharoff.
 "The event has created 8 profound impression in St. Petersburg, owing to the fears that the revolutionists here will follow the example thus set.
 "The spectre of a military dictator ship, which has been looming on the horizon, is slowly gaing consistency and sharpness of outline.
 1T am personally convinced that Count Witte's faith in the good sense and political tact of the Russian think ing classes, which recently was as firm as a rock, is gradually weakening, and with it his hopes for the carrying out of the liberties promised in the emper- or's manifesto.
 'erhere are signs of a collapse of the post and telegraph strike. Two-thirds of the telegraph operators are daily of- fering to resume work, but they are prevented from so doing because the wires have been cut or the stations fail ito answer signals.
 Father Gapon has gone to Paris un- der very mysterious conditions, which | am not at liberty to unfold"
 The correspondent of the Times at St. Petersburg says:
 q am informed on excellent authority that a revolt of the St. Petersburg gar rison is certain to occur.
 ''The newspapers print narrowing de- tails of the whipping, by order of Gen. eral Sakharoff, of the peasants whom he was sent to pacify.''

Critical Moment for Count Witte Near

Berlin, Dec. 7.-The Tageblatt's St, Petersburg correspondent, in dispatch sent by way of Eydtkuhnen, Dec 6, says:
 "The situation is yisibly growing worse. The critical moment for Count Witte is coming when the liberal ele- ments will demand his resignation. A resolution by the agriculturalists at Moscow demanding the immediate dis missal of the present cabinet denotes the beginning of the movement away from Count Witte, and signs indicate that this movement will gain in inten- sity soon."
