Nicholas has taken the almost unpreee-
dented step Of publicly directing Grand
Duke Nicholas Ncholsievitch, commander
Of the forces in the military district CT
st. Petersburg, to investigate and stop the
disorders among the troops. Accomps-
nying these instructions were orders ie-
lievinE Prince VaEzilchilSoff, commander of
the guard corps, from duty and dismissing
in Disgrace General ozeron.
General Gadon, commander of the Pre-
obrajenslSy regiment. the First battalion OF
which was recently dissraced for express
ing sympathy with Parliament and pro-
testing against doing police duty was also
dismissed Cadon is said TO be q descend
ant Of an American named Gordon. the
name having been Russianized in the course
of time.
All attempts to purge the army Of the
spirit OF disloyalty, now that 1t has in
vadsd the pampered regiments OF the
guards, will, however, probably prove fu-
tile No isolation of the troops will any
longer suf1oe TO prevent the spread OF the
oontasion. While the majority OF the
troops probably are still faithful. the un-
derTninlng Of the military supports OF the
government Il proceeding very rapidly. The
revolutionists are rejoicing at the success
Of what they regard being the hnal
phase of the work OF preparing for the
coming revolution.
Mufiny An samRra-
Dispatches received here today from
samara state that two regiments garrison
ing that important provincial capital have
mutinied and presented a series of political
and service demands The officers promised
TO satisfy the service demands II the NUT
ineers would return to duty, but the men
replied that they would be satisfied only
With compliance with all Of their demands.
f, Tho nutineers command the situation but
are not indulging in excesses. The situa-
ton is complicated by the fact that in
samara the revolutionists are pushing h
movement to proclaim republic in case
a general strike is declared and may seize
the present opportunity 20 further thoir
aims.
Tho ferment among the soldiers ana
sailors at Odessa ard sebastopol continues
No tnlrling of the reported rioting and
pfilaRfng at Vladivostok has reached the
Russian public, but the military authori-
ties who control the telegraphs would be
able TO withhold for days any news Of
such conditions.
ARFaPAan Disorders Extend.

orders, accompanied by the burning of a
manor house. is reported today from the
provinces Of Pensa. Kamenetz-Podolsk and
