ST. P~ETERsHUR0, Sept, S.--TheEe can be
little doubt that Russian terrorism viii
grow rapidly as a result OF the Govern
nent's extreme violence programme which
was announced on Thursday. Not one
tenth part Of the story Of murder, rapine
and outrage Of the past few weeks has yet
been told and every day heaps horror upon
horrors head.
National opinion on the Governments po-
Iitical programme dwells almost exclusively
on its administrative measures, and is.wholly
sceptical regarding the promises OF legis-
lation. All that the independent public
recognizes is that. their existence is put
under control OF local authority. There
IL nothing to secure freedom Of action to
an active Liberal candidate for the K
Duma. He is as completely at the mercy
Of the local authorities as II he were@ater-
rorist or a revolutionary.
Experience up to the present il that the
jails are being flled with comparatively
orderly persons who have been agitating
for democratic reform while outright ter
rorists remain at large. In view OF the
inferior capacity apd character Of sub
ordinate oficialdom In Russia. II h Q gloomy
outlook for the Liberal element that their
actions are orth TO be subject to the
threats and blaokmail Of u%nderpaid Office
holders. 3. -
All legal prsliminaries toward securing
serious trial are now get aside, and the 'sys-
tenn Of dealing with individuals by arbi-
trary administrative order, which has been
the curse Of Russia since the assassination
of Alexander IT,, - 'reetnphasized.1
The opinion. OF all parties on Premier
Stofypin's legislative programme concurs
that his Ministry has, decided TO continue
along the old road of bureaucratic routine.
Il consclentiously aspirest 70 effect reforms
but in the same breath, recognizes its power

LONDON, Sept. SIT is difficult in a oouh-
try who're a3reign Of terror is almost uni
versal b, select examples, but here Is a
brief picture OF the situation at Warsaw
written by the English CORRESPONDENT
Fraser before MsArrest the other day;
Bomb throwing, revolver firing and
murders with mutHation aRe the rule. Rus
alan soldiers, are Everywhere. Mounted,
fierce visaged COssacks with runs poised
on their thighs patrol the street. but nor
soldiers are killed than civilians. From
the eaHh spring men with bt1dgeons- and
r~evolvers. Bang, whackl and three men
wearing the uniform Of RAAsla are>sprswling
dead on the ground. A bomb rs thrown
and the body Of erbigh military Official is
rent into an unrecognizabEe pNlp.
The assassins escape: they always
escape. Though murder stalks in the
narrow streets Of Warsaw, nobody checks
its path. The police are demoralized
and no wonder, when twenty Of their num-
Der have their brains battered out with
bhSdgeons in a day. They. nave pleaded
with the authorities to be allowed to resign,
and have met with refusal. But now zach
policeman walks his beat with armed
soldiers on either side ard a soldier behind
him, and yet crime Is. rampant.
There are innumerable arrests. but
generally Of the wrong people. When a
bomb has been thrown the misoreant
escapes. In a minute or two up tramps
a patro'; and the first thing they do is to
fire a voIley at a building. If ANYBODY
gets in the way and is shot it is his own
fault. The building from which the bomb
Is thrown is oonfiscated by the Govern
ment. Every one moves out and a barrier
