st. Petersburg, June 14.-Such a
shrewd judge of the situation as Pro-
fessor Milukauff. leader u the con-
stitutional democrats. Is grtwing more
pessimistic, daily. The radical ele-
ment OF the lower house lis getting
more and more out Of hand and. the
events Of the interior are marching 80
rapidly that the people are almost in
doubt whether the surrender of the
government to the demand for a re-
sponsible government would not now
come too late.
The leaders are consequently pre-
pairing for eventualities. Even the
Cossacks are beginning to rehfl against
the odious work Of holding the people
in subsection, and the soldiets every
where are sympathizing with the peas
ants and the people.
