ON VERGE
Of A CATACLySM
THE DISSOLUTION OF THE DUMA
BRINGS PEOPLE AND GAR
FACE TO FACE.
Reports of Mutinies Are Heard From
All Sides, and the Fear of Sedition
Among the Soldiers All That Stays
the Hand of Autocracy-Orders to
Governors 20 "Strike and Spare Not"

ST. Petersburg, July 2G.-The coun
try is in a turmoil over the dissOlu
ton of the duma by the car, the flight
of parliament to Finland, where it
met and a dispersed by order OF
the car, but no before it had issued
a second Address to the People"
Reports of mutinies among the
troops are coming in, and it is stated
that a universal strike has been
agreed upon, when all laborers will
cease work, even among the %peasantry.
The object is to tie up every line of
industry-factories, railways every
thing.
In many places the soldiers are re-
ported fraternizing with the people. A
great crowd gathered at the Narva
gate, and soldiers were ordered to dis
perse them. They went among the
people, urged them to go, but when
ordered to fire upon the people the
soldiers refused to do so.
Forty miles from st. Petersburg the
peasants burned a large estate, and
the roads have been lined with peo-
pie loaded with plumber.
From all parts of Russia news of a
like character ONES
On the German border towns have
been looted, and many people have fled
to Germany for safety. Emperor Will
liam has dispatched troops to maintain
order on the German side.
Notices have been posted that the
death sentence has been passed upon
the czar, Gen. Trepoff, M. Po%biedonost-
self, who was ~prOcuratOr general of
the holy synod; Gen. Orloff, pacifi-
Gator of the Baltic provinces, and 9TH
ers high in the ~cOunselS of the en-
pire. The notices were nailed to the
doors of Gen. Trepoff and Gen. Or
loft.
Premier Stolypin-the new premier
has issued a proclamation to the gov
errors of Russia and the Caucasus to
strike and spare not" in the effort
to restore order in the empire. Z?
This proclamation is in effect a
declaration OF war to the people.
The situation, summed up, is that
the cars advisers have resolved upon
desperate measures to save the autoc-
racy; that the people are ripe for re-
volt: that Russia, in the process of
evolution Of government, is on the
of a political cataclysm; that
revolution is inevitable, and that only
fear that the army will not stand for
it stays the hand of autocracy to bring
issue to a crisis.
At Odessa Cossacks have been plum
1ering the homes and shops of the
Jews, and a number have been slain.

Predicts War With United States.

New Orleans, July PIE. J. Mather,
of Ohio, has arrived here with his
family from Mexico. He said: In my
opinion, war will break out between
the United States and Mexico within
less than six months. The situation
in Mexico is alarming. The anti-foreign
sentiment has grown to such an extern
that | do not believe the Mexican
government can cope wit it successful
ly. The anti-foreign movement is
strongest in the northern and central
portions of Mexico, where the natives
have been wrought up to a high pitch
OF excitement by agitators and agents
OF revolutionary societies. The upper
class of Mexicans are not in sympathy
with the movement, but they are in
a hopeless minority. The army is re-
cruited from the lower classes, and
can not be relied upon

NTER-PARLIAMENTARY UNION
MEETS IN LONDON.
n Russian Delegates, Amid Cheers,
Withdraw, and Return to the
"~BattIefield."

London, July 24.-The fourteenth
conference of the Inter-Parliamentary
Union was opened in the royal gal
lery OF the palace of Westminster
Monday. There were about five nun.
dre1 delegates present, the American
representation being headed by Con.
gresham Richard Bartnoldt, while
William ]. Bryan occupied a seat on
the platform.
Lord Weardale (Sir Philip Stan
hope) opened the congress, his prelim-
mary sentences of welcome being spe-
cially addressed to the Russian dele
gates, w~hereupOn the delegates rOse
in a body. and, turning toward the
delegation of the late parliament,
cheered tlem to the echo. 1t could, he
thought, be safely asserted that the
RussiOn parliament, although dis
solved, was sure to again come into
existence.
Then came the most dramatic mo-
ment of the opening of the session.
Prof. K~ovalevsky rose, but some min
utes elapsed before he could gain a
hearing, so prolonged was the cheer
Ing. Finally, in a voice somewhat
with emotion, he announced
he necessity for the withdrawal or
the Russian parliament.
The announcement of the withdraw
ii was met with a storm of protests
and shouts of mo-" Mo- and at
,empts on either side to induce the
Russians to remain, but the latter in
sisted that they no longer nad any
and for Russia, and return to the
battlefield"

AN ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE.
A Document Revolutionary in Tone
HurriedIy Signed.

Parliament fled to VibOrg, Finland
where it was dispersed by the cover
nor, on orders from the car, but not
before the following manifesto had
been issued:
ITO the people, from their popular
observation-disclosures of all Rus.
STA: Parliament has been dissolved
by ukase of July 81. You elected us
as your representatives, and instruct.
ed us to fight for our country and free
dom. In execution of your instruc-
tons and our duty we drew up laws in
order to insure freedom to the peo-
pie. We demanded the removal of ir-
responsible ministers, who were in
fringing the laws with impunity and
depressing freedom. First of all,
however, we wanted to bring out a
law respecting the distribution of
LAM to working peasants and involv-
ing the assignment, to this end, of
crown appanages, mOnasterieS and
lands belonging to the clergy and
compulsory appropriation of private
estates. The government held such
law to be inadmissable, and upon par.
lament once more urgently putting
forward its resolution regarding COM
pulsory appropriation parliament was
dissolved.
A Seven Months Hiatus:
"The government promises to con-
woke a new parliament seven months
hence. Russia must remain without
popular representation for seven
whole months, at a time when the
people are standing on the brink of
ruin and industry and commerce are
undermined, when the whole country
Is seething with unrest and when the
ministry has definitely shown its in.
to do justice to popular
needs. For months the govern
will act arbitrarily and will fight
against the popular movement in or.
Ter to obtain a pliable, subservient
parliament. Should it succeed, how.
ever, in completely suppressing the
movement, the government
will convoke no parliament at all.
"Stand Up For Your Rights"
Citizens, stand up for your tram
'led-on rights, for popular repre- senta.
ion and for an imperial parliament.

ut popular representation. You pos.
ess the means of acquiring it.. TIE

Therefore, you are now the j

Testimony Before Committee.
Senator Elkns further states that no
woll minded citizen wants to injure
railroads. but railroads must not be
permitted 10 Oppress the people and
prefer one shipper over another, but all
shippers must be- treated alike for the
same service. On this point he said
with emphasis: Because railroads
have constantly reduced rates and de
veloped the country and are the most
important factor ia our commercial
and business expansion furnishes no
reason why they should not be sub
ject to proper regulation. With the
great benefits and advantages railroads
bring to the country there should not
follow in their wake evils and abuses
that oppress the people. The testi
mOny before the senate committee tax
en- last spring aud summer showed
that shippers. as rule, were satisfied
with rates; that rebates and discrim-
nations, the great evils. are growing
less as the present laws are executed" /"
The senator cited numerous legal au-
thOrlties and pointed out that any leg
