Immediately thereafter leave on a cruise Of

for that purpose. II this decision is ex-

for an immediate and bloody struggle.
The group of toll, as an outcome of its
open declaration against a recess, passed
resolution declaring that neither now nor in
the near future can Parliament be recessed,
that the members will not leave their posts
and so long as the arbtrariness and out

Attempt to Blame william.
The conservative-llberal newspaper strana
prints story that Emperor William has
promised his support to Emperor Nicholas
n the Russian ruler adopts a firm policy
But this report is clearly traceable to
sources hostile to Germany and which have
tried to make II appear that William is the
evil genius OF Nicholas.
Undoubtedly it is true that Germany is
concerned over the situationNon its western
frontier and generally over the mainte-
nance OF the monarchic principle in Russia,
and Il Is quite probable that Grand Duke
vladimir, on behalf of Emperor Nicholas
disc l.. 'ed the situation with the Berlin gov
ernment. But there is no more evidence
that Emperor William is counselllng En-
peror Nicholas in a reactionary sense than
there was in the statement that he tried to

an accusation which was fully disproved.
1t is quite natural that Russia and Ger
many should have an understanding COW

which might spread TO German Poland. but

/ The gravity OF the general situation grows
hourly The bonrses OF st. Petersburg and
/ MOSCOW are in a panicky condition. and
the social democrats and social revolu-
tionists, considering Parliament to be
negligible quantity. are pushing their cam
paign for an armed uprising with increased
vlgor. Demonstrations are daily occurring
in the streets OF Moscow IA favor OF
/ general strike, with which the proetarlat
leaders are trying to precipitate a conflict.
The agitation among the workmen here
has reached a boiling point and patrols
are again in heavy force in the industrial
quarters. In the country the rural guards
are throwing in their lot with the peas

progress OF the revolutionary propa ssn'1

the authorities here cannot escape respon-

kilograms which they caused to be printed
throughout Russia, appealing to the worst

the enemies Of the country. The govern
ment is undoubtedly frightened at what
has occurred Martial law has been de-
clared at Bialystok and troops are being
/ rushed to the scene but. according to the
latest reports. the hunting down of un-
fortunate Jews continued unabated yester-
day afternoon and night, accompanied by
indescribable horrors. The commission dis
pa tched TO Bialystok by PARLIAMENT can be
relied upon to make a pitless exposure
to the country OF any dereilction of the
authorities.
Deaanee 20 the Csar.
The leaders IN the lower house of Parlia-
ment are convinced that II is the present
intention OF the government TO prevail on
the emperor TO order a recess OF Parliament
and they have taken the important resolu-
tion to disobey the imperial order This
amounts to open defiance and is a purely
revolutionary step. The plans for the
leaders were secretly formulated, but Il is
known that II the government turns the
lower house out OF the Tauride palace the
leaders contemplate an attempt 20 con-
tinue the Sittings Independently In other
words, they will try 20 seize the rens OF
power. The eternal parallel of the French
revolution, which keeps requiring, is thus
again in evidence. The members would
probably be required to swear as did those
Of the French assembly 10 meet when
ever circumstances require il, until a con-
stitution is established on a solid founda-
tion.
II this stage is reached a dictatorship or
the surrender of the government in newt
able. The emperor must swear to abide by
the constitution, as Louis XVI did. or pro-
claim a dictatorship. -The latter step is
sure to be the precursor Of a blood revoIu-
! ton, which perhaps the former will only
delay.
The Rech believes that the case OF NJ
= Ulianoff. whose expulsion from Parliament
for press offense is demanded by the
government, is the first step in the gov
ernment's attack on Parliament. which the
ministry is trying TO persuade the world is
a revolutionary body. The paper warns the
I government that an attempt to dissolve
Parliament will plunge rhe country into
horrors Of which the government has little
dreamed. and declares the government mus,
be blind to imagine that such a step can
succeed.
: "Like a poor chess player" says the
} Rech, ''the government fails to see thai
this move can only lead to a oheekmats.
