The military are employed merciless-
" and gradually the movement IS being

These fires of revolt. however are
sinothered bur are not extingnished and
the main fear IS that the government en-
cotiraged by success, will fall into the
very error Of which the revolutionists
were guilty and attempt TO press its
advantage too far.
Already there are signs that the policy
of repression may be carried TO a point
which is sure to again arouse the re-
sentiment and the discomfort of classes
which shrank from the violent program
me of the Reds a.s
In ST. Petersburg, for instance, the
wholesale perquisitions of the police
have been succeeded BY the particularly
offensive measure of the project of POI
lice which practically gives the dvoriis
iks of the house porters a free hand to
search private lodgings for arms and
suspicious persons for documents, Of
fering them a premium of so cents for
the discovery of every revolver and
