RUSSIA IS ON
VERGE OF CHAOS
CONFLICT BETWEEN THE GOV
EMINENT AND THE PEOPLE
is CERTAIN.
DONNA SLABS CARS FACE
GOVERNMENTS POLICY REJECT
ED AND DISMISSAL OF cABl-
NET DEMANDED.

st. Petersburg, May 26 - The gov
eminent seems to be hesitating about
executing the resolution taken week
ago to grant partial amnesty. The of
fetal statement justifying the govern
ment in not granting plenary amnesty,
seems designed to pave the way for
refusal on the ground that in the pres
ent circumstances the release OF the
political prisoners deserving freedom
can be left to the local authorities.
The Twentieth Century, formerly
the Russ, prints in parallel columns
the text of identical kilograms sent to
the emperor from widely different
places protesting against the demands
of the lower house for amnesty, prov
ing them to have been inspired from
common source.
At Kieff the local branch of the
League of the Russian People decided
to organize for the coming war against
parliament and pronounced itself in
favor of the creation of a dictatorship
to crush the revolution. Officers of
the guard regiments in st. Petersburg
at meeting just held openly advo-
Gated the dispersal of parliament.
! Rushing on to Revolution.
| st. Petersburg, May II. - Premier
Goremykin at o'clock this afternoon
will read before the lower house of
parliament the governments response
to the address in reply to the speech
from the throne, and announce the
governments policy.
The Conservative-Libera newspaper
| Strana (country), which claims to
| have inside information, says the rec
ommendation will be largely negative,
but there will be a positive proposal
| for reform in local administration, in
| Guiding the adjustment of the hated
"zemsky nachalniks" or petty admins
| trative despots, whose tyranny is one
of the main grievances of the peasant
ry, and the placing of gendarmes and
rural police under the control of the
| judiciary instead of the administrative
| branch. With regard to amnesty, the
| cabinet will declare for continuation
of the wholesale release as fast as pos
sible but will insist that general am
nesty is inexpedient.
General Strike Likely.
| A dispatch to the Associated Press
from Moscow says that denial of full
amnesty probably will be followed by
a general strike. Similar news has
been received from other industrial
centers
In spite of the moderate counsel OF
| the leaders, the Constitutional Demo
Gratis are being pressed on by the de-
nunciations of the radical elements to-
ward an open rupture. Revolutionary
activity is increasing throughout the
country and there is evidence that rev
| dictionary emissaries are travelling
through the country stirring up hatred
| against the mobiles and landlords and
encouragir@5 the peasants to strike for
the ostensible purpose of forcing par
F, lament to hasten the distribution of
| lands
Daily Conflicts Reported.
On the other hand, the agents OF re
action are adopting the same tactics IN
favor Of dispersal of parliament, and
a return to autocracy. AS result OF
this propaganda, threatening letters
have been received by many members
of parliament and dispatches from the
interior report daily conflicts between
the followers of the two extreme
parties.
Revolution in the Air.
ST. Petersburg, May 29.-At the end
of a memorable seven-hOur session,
the lower house of parliament Satur-
day Indignantly rejected the govern
ment's policy as presented by Pre-
mier Goremykin, and, with only seven
dissenting votes, voted lack OF con-
fdence in the ministry, practically
throwing down The gauntlet to the
bureaucracy with demand for the
dismissal of the present cabinet and
it's suppression by a ministry ap-
proved by the majority in the house
The spirit of absolute revolution is
in the air, and a conflict between the
crown and the nation now appears to
be inevitable.
While the house avoided the ap-
