ST. PETERSBURG, July ~ War

knife to tho hilt, was PROGRAMMED to-
day by Premier StolyEln n IL tn!c-
gram addressed to the governor gener-
ais. governors and projects through
out Russia and to the vIceroy of the
Caucasus. who are ordered to strike
and spare not in their efforts to pre-
serve order and crush "the enemies
of society"
Included in this category as shown
by the events of the day, are not
only revoutionists and Socialists.
but also the liberals and classes rep
resented in the Constitutional Demo
cratic party. whose clubs everywhere
have been closed, and all the pro-
gressive newspapers which are not
permitted to lift their voices any
where throughout the entire land.
Premier Stolypin's telegram is as
follows:
Instructions Are Emphatic.
HI WIFI hSt'hS ~
ceiyed from the Emperor. with the
view to securing full cooperation be
tween the different localities here
by inform you that the government
expects you 10 exercise vigilant and
untiring supervision over your subor-
dinates so that order may be prompt
ly and definitely restored.
Disturbances must be. suppressed
and revolutionary movements must be
put down by all legal means. The
measures you take must be carefully
considered. The struggle begun is
against the enemies of society and
not against society itself. Conse
quently, wholesale repression cannot
be approved of.
Daily press. [volume] (Newport News, Va.) 1896-current, 1906-07-25
Care Must BE Used.

''lmprudent and illegal acts are
stead of conducting calm and cannot
be tolerated. The Intentions of the
Emperor are immntable. The govern
ment firmly desires to assist in the
amendment of the legal procedure
and the laws hitherto enforced. which
no longer serve their purposes. The
old regime will he regenerated, but
order must be fully maintained
Yen must act on your own initia-
tive, rs you are invested with respon-
sibility. Firm and vigorous steps
taken on these limos will doubtless be
upheld by the best part of society. "
War Plans Perfected.
Even before the declaration of the
dissolution of the lower house of
parliament 1.-THE war office had per-
fected its plans for handling expected
disorders. both military and civilian.
General Muller Zakomelsky, who sup.
pressed the Sebastoopl rev rlt and CO.
operated with General Ren.,ekampff.
in the reduction Of the Siberian rebel
lion last winter was recalled from the
command of corps. and placed at
the disposition Of the war office, to
be used wherever trouble may first
be manifested.
Meetings are being held tonight in
a dozen houses in st. Petersburg and
just across the frontier railway en-
ployes, peasants, socialits and revolu-
tionists of different shades of opinion
are discussing the best plan Of action
to throw the whole machinery of the
government out OF gear.
Aerarian Disorders Break Out.
RI Agrarian disorders have broken out
in the vicinity of st. Petersburg. The
estate of General Baron Fredericks,
aide.de-camp to the Emperor. forty
miles from the capital, has been plum
dered by the peasants.
The bulk of the members of the out
Iawed Douma. who held meeting at
4 Viborg Finland, yesterday and issued
an address to the people, arrived here
today from Viborg. A popular dem
onstration was prevented, but the
members were not arrested.
The exodus OF foreigners continues
today. Mrs. Meyer, wife OF the Am.
erican ambassador, and their children
are departing tomorrow.
