that the American woman is indie

IN TROUBLED RUSSIA
THE WAR OF TERRORISM SEEMS
TO BE ON IN EARNEST.
TWO IMPORTANT QUESTIONS
Tho Resumption Of Trouble Renders
the Task of Government More
Difficult.

st. Petersburg-The war OF terror
ism which the fighting organization OF
the social re~volutionists declared i'm
mediately after parliament was dis
solved. seems to have begun in earn
est. From all parts Of the en-
pirs the telegraph brings the same
story of attacks on police officials OF
all classes, accompanied in the ma
jority Of cases by plundering.
The Polish revolutionists are espe-
cially active. There is a verltable
reign of terror from the Vistula TO
the German frontier. Nearly SO cases
of assassination have been reported.
Task Of Government.
The resumption of terrOristic actiY-
ity OF a large scale renders the task
OF the government more difficult, and
darkens the prospects of the present
ministry in accomplishing anything in
the direction of an amelioration OF
the situation. While for the moment
the campaign Of the terrorists is
bound to create the %revulsion o. the
mere conservative public opinion
against the wild excuses of the e
t.enlists, it is at the same time GER
tcin TO force the government tn re-
double the measures of repression
which 1t is claimed will in the end
drive public sympathy back to sup
port almost any means OF relief.
Some of/the dispatches from Poland
assert that the outbreak of terrorism
Is in retaliation for the wholesale ar
rests and repressions of the governor,
general.
The New Parliament.
The government announces that the
new parliament will not be deprived
of the right to revise the budget for
1907. The budget will be submitted to
parliament when it assembled in March
and in the meantime the credits FOR
the first two months will be one-sixth
of the credits of the present year, IN
der the authority of the fundamental
law assigning the credits for the pre-
ceding veal in case of the failure OF
the passage of the budget.
Several liberal papers have been
permitted TO resume publication either
under their old names or with new
franchises.
