Serious Mutiny mt Asknbad.
The ministry of war has received tele-
grams that a serious mutiny has broke
out in the Second and Third battalions OF
the Tiralleurs and the First railway pat
talon at Askabad. 1t originated in the
now familiar way of the arrest Of soldiers
and their comrades demanding their re-
lease and the formulation OF a list of
grievances. including a demand for the
removal of officers and their replacement
by men from tho ranks The mutineers
set the governor general al defiance. Rein
forcements Of infantry CossacEs and artil-

counter took place between the crowd and

sacks and peasants, in which several per-
sons were killed and wounded
An incipient riot is reported 20 have
occurred among the cuirassiers of the guard
at Tsarskoe-Solo because they had been
ordered not to read the newspapers ot1cers
OF the guard who were questioned on the
subject declared that the severity Of the
measures taken to prevent the spread OF

Reports on BIalystOk Excesses.
The administrative and the parliamentary
views OF the Bialystok excesses were pub
lished tonight, the first in the report Of
Baron Frisch president of the council OF
the empire to Minister of Interior Stolypin,
published In the Official Messenger, and the
latter in the report OF the parliamentary
commission.
Though they differ in many important
respects, they unite in holding certain Off
oials, or at least the interior police officials,
guilty OF melting and participating in the
excesses. II is significant that Shlremstieff,
prefect OF police of Bialystok, has been
summoned TO st. Petersburg
There is slight discrepancy in the state
nnents Of casualties. According to the re-
port OF Baron Frisch eighty-two were
killed OF whom seyenty-fve were Jews and
seventy eight wounded, of which sixty were
Jews, while the property loss is placed al
$4,000, whereas the parliamentary commits
sion reports eighty Jews and six Christians
killed and approximated the same number
wounded.
The commissions report will be discussed
Thursday II gives the details in prac-
tically every case of killing and in eight
instances II cites the names of soldiers and
policemen who murdered one or more Jews
as absolute proof of the participation of the
military and the police. 1t declares thai
the massacre and preliminary events show
evidence OF a general, deliberate plan.
The report concludes with inter,
pellation OF Minister OF the Interior Stoly
pin as TO what measures have been taker
20 bring the guilty ones TO justice anC
especially the police officials and the gov
srnor OF Crodno, who left Bialystok before
order was restored. and an Interpolation
OF War Minister Rudiger as to the partic
patton OF soldiers in the excesses, the plaC
ing OF attachments OF troops under tn,
command OF petty police officers. and In,
supervision OF the local authorities by IN,
military before the proclamation of MARTA
law.
Baron Frisch's report takes the view
that revolutionary activity and terrorism
are responsible for the anti-Jewish feeling
and alleges that reactionary police wer,
left a free hand after their brothers ha,
been slain by revolutionists.
Agrarian Bill Ready.
The governments agrarian bill has hnalIl
been approved. introduced I'm the lower hous
