Car Warned to Leave Russia.
LONDON. Dee. 23.-(Noon. 1.-The
revolutionists have warned the Car to
leave Russia. They sent the commune
cation through three separate channels
to insure it's reaching him. They IN
formed him that he is no longer ruler of
Russia except IN name, and that the
patience of the people is exhausted.
The leaders of the revolutionary move
ment warn the Gar that they do not
desire to harm him or his family, but
they declare they will not be responsible
for his safety in the present critical
times. He therefore would better quit
the country forthwith.
provisional governments are being set
up, many people are being killed includ-
ing soldiers and, in brief, the situation
is very dark at this hour.

Eleven men were killed and eighty
wounded by troops today among work
men defending a barricade in Moscow.
The total casualties of yesterday were

AT Kursk, also, a provisional govern
ment has been proclaimed. At Vladimir,
strike leaders would have been torn to
pieces II troops had not saved them.
Universal Suffrage Refused.
ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 23.-1O a.
m.-The Emperor and his cabinet late
last night reached final decision re-
garding the electoral law, deciding
against the universal and equal suffrage
and in favor of the extension of the law
promulgated August 10, last, to include
in addition to the small land owners in
the country, the workmen and the edu-
Gated classes, the small rent payers in
the cities. The douma will be convoked
in March.
Government Expresses Confidence.
In high government circles the great
est confidence was expressed that the
general strike will fail. So far as st.
Petersburg is concerned the battle Ger
tainly has been going against the revolu-
tiOnaries.
Unless better results are obtained else
where the leaders may be compelled to
beat a general retreat in order to save
their prestige. In spite of the hercu-
lean efforts of the local chiefs to cheer
on their followers, the past forty eight
hours have not produced any extension
of the strike.
Mill Hands Back at Work
What was gained yesterday by the
strike of the printers, which was incom-
plete, was offset by the return to work
of 10000 men in theSeminovsky mills
and the announcement that 1000 men
back Monday
The governments firm stand effective
ly prevented the strikers keeping up the
excitement in st. Petersburg by red
flag" demonstrations and by the old
plan of marching from mill to mill to
force the men to strike.
Main Hope in Moscow.
The main hope of the strike leaders
rests on Moscow. A telephone MESA 90
from Moscow last night represented the
situation there as grave on account of
the attitude of the troops, it being re-
ported that the artillery was on the
verge of mutiny and that there was a
plot to abduct Gov.Gen. Doubassof,
which. however. was frustrated
1t is reported that Father Gapon is
returning to Russia to preach patience
and conservatism to his followers
Newspapers Find Printers.
Though the printers union is one of
the most advanced and most thoroughly
organized unions in Russia it is unable
to enforce the newspaper strike. The
NovOe Vremya, Slovo and other cOnserv-
atiye newspapers expect to appear to-
day.
The Pan-Russian congress of the
League of Leagues is scheduled to be
held in st. Petersburg tomorrow, but
owing to the strike few of the delegates
are present and the meeting probably
will be postponed like the Zemstvo con-
gress of Moscow, until January.
Reign of Terror Expected.
With the political strike as a revolu-
tionary weapon apparently losing IFS
keeness owing to too frequent use fears
are entertained that the revolutionists
may be driven to return to the old meth
DDS and inaugurate an era of terrorism
The government is aware that q number
of high agents of the revolutionary or
ganization at Geneva recently returned
to Russia and increased ecautions are
being taken to safeguard all.
