The anniversary of Hred Sunday
passed very quietly in st. Petersburg.
Only numerous patrols of troops show
ed that the government feared trouble
on the anniversary of the uprising
headed by Father Gapon.
The attempt Of the revolutionaries to
organize general strike at Riga was
only partially successful. The military
operations for the pacification Of the
Baltic provinces are proceeding active
" under the direction of Governor Gen
eral Sollogub, who is controlling the
movements of 10000 troops acting in
different localities. The governor gen
eral estimates that the reyolutionists
number 10000 men. In the opinion of
the military authorities it will take two
years to crush the guerrilla warfare,
and even then the revolutionary ele-
ment is so deeply imbedded that it will
not be entirely uprooted.
Acting under the provisions of the
military code, the commanders through
out the empire are proceeding unspar-
ingly against the revolutionists, court
martialing and shooting the leaders
wherever martial law has been de-
clared
Revolutionists are reappearing In the
Baltic districts from which the troops
have been withdrawn and are con-
demning and executing persons who
extended hospitality or assistance to
the soldiers.
In the Russian capital the sentence
OF Alexis Alexeievich Souvorin, editor
Of the Russ, to a years Imprisonment
In fortress for incitation of the peo-
pie to high treason by publishing proc
lamatlons and statements designed to
instigate riot, seditlon and armed re-
volt and stending to cause the bank
ruptcy of the state, is the latest SEN
sati0n.
4 correspondent at st. Petersburg,
having been queried concerning the
reported arrest of William English
Walling, an American, in that city for
revolutionary activity, telegraphed that
Mr.. Walling has not been arrested and
that the report to that effect is without
foundation.
q The first national convention organ
izea ~ political party in the history
of Russia, that of the Constitutional
Democrats, opened in ST. Petersburg.
Two hundred and fifty delegates, rep
resenting sixty provincial organiza-
tons, were present.
In order to put an end to the intol-
cradle condition of affairs in Manchu-
ria the military council has Instructed
General Linevitch to dispatch General
Staclxelberg to take the bodies Of mu-
tinous soldiers in the rear, while Cen
eral Zakomesky attacks them from the
front.
Distrustful Of the spirit Of his capt.
tai and perhaps remembering the Incl
dent of last January, when one of the
saluting guns showered grape on the
imperial chapel. the emperor decided
not to come to st. Petersburg for the
ceremony Of the blessing Of the waters
Of the Neva.
Lewis Nixon, the American ship
builder. returning from an interview
with the car, said that the Russian
crisis is over IF Witte is unable to
place Russia on peaceful foundation
some other man will do il" said Mr..
Nixon.
