St. Petersburg, July 24.--War to the knife with revolution and the knife to the hilt. was proclaimed today by Pre- naier Stoiypin in a telegram addressed to the Governors General Governors and Prefects throughout Russia and to the Vieeroy of Caucasus, who are orr dered to strike and spare not Tn enorts to preserve order and crush "the ene- mics of society"
 Included in his category. as shown by the events of the day. are not only reyolutionists and socialists, but also the educated, liberal and landed classes represented in the constitutional dem oeratlc party who have clubs. Every thing has been closed and the progress sive newspapers. which are not per mitted to lift their voices anywhere Throughout the entire land.
 Telegram of Premier.
 Premier stolypin's telegram is as foi- lows:
 Tn conformity with instructions re- ceived from the Emperor, with the view to securing full co-operation be- tween the different local autherities, l hereby inform you that the government expects you, to exercise vigilant and untiring supervision over your subor- dinates so that order may be promptly and definitely restored.
 Disturbances must be suppressed and revolutionary movements must be :. measures you take must be carefully considered The struggle begun Is against the enemiessof society and not against society Itself Consequently wholesale repression cannot be ap- proved of. Imprudent and illegal acts are likely to give rise to dtscontent in- stead of conducting to calm and cannot be tolerated.
 "The intentions of the Emperor are immutable The government formally desires to assist in the amendment Of the legal procedure and the laws hith- erto enforced, which no longer servo their purpose. The old regime will be regenerated but order must be fully maintained. You must act on your own initiative. as you are invested with responsibility. Firm and vigorous steps taken on these lines will doubtless be upheld by the best part of society"
 The manifesto bears remarkable similarity to the earlier compositions of Ministers of the Interior Plehve and Bouligan. and the reactionary press hpd slight diffictlty in cutting it down a. they already had done with yester- days imperial manifesto, into an ap- peal to the League of Russian men" and other old school Russians to destroy and smite all the progressive classes.
 War Department Prepared.
 Even before the declaration of the dissolution of Parliament the war ofhco had perfected its plans for handling ex- pected disorders, both military and civ ilian General Muller Zakomelsky, who suppressed the Sebastopol revolt and co-operated with General Rennenkempf in the reductions of the Siberia rebel lion last winter. was recalled fRom the command of a corps and placed at the disposition of the war office to be used wherever trouble may first be mani- fested.
 Both the government and the revolu- tionists expect this outbreak to occur in the south and that 1t will roll north ward to the large capitals. This may induce the proIetarfat organization to postpone the declaration of general strike from St. Petersburg until conta- zion is borne up from the south. The railroaders, however. are anxious to have this strike declared at once.
 Members of the railway employees union with whom the Associated Press correspondents here and in Moscow have talked, declared that they were ready to walk out at the first call from the League of Leagues, with which the union is federated.
 The strictest censorship over news of military disorders Is maintained As an example the mutiny at Brest Litovsk July 23 when a band of artillerymen from the fortress fired on the officers club, killing two officers, has been transformed into a fire destroying the houJe of the officers club
 Plan Falls Flat
 The ministry is obtaining slight aid from the forces of society at large in putting through its policy. Nm. Ship of and Guchkoff and practically all the others who have been approached have refused hatly to participate in the enlarged cabinet proposed. Of the members Of the late parliament, only Prince Nikolai Ivoff of Saratov, who, f. personal friend of Premier Stolypin, is understood to have given the plan fa- vorable consideration and 1t is expect cd tonight that he probably will accept a ministry without portfolio.
 The Constitutional Democratic Club and two other political clubs were closed tonight by order of the police authorities A caucus of Constitution al Democrats was being held at the club named at the time. Prince Paul Dolgourokoff, Chairman of the Central Executive Committee, appointed at Vi- borg on Monday. has called meeting oT that committee. which will arrange a secret caucus tomorrow to discuss fur ther tactics.
 Moscow Constitutional Democrats recommend the summoning of national convention of the party, but this will scarcely be allowed by the authorities.
 Metings are being held tonight in a dozen houses in St. Petersburg and just across the frontier railway employees, peasants, Socialists and revoiutionists of different shades of opinion are dis cussing the best plan of action to throw the whole machinery of the gov ernment out of gear.
 Agrarian disorders have broken out in the vicinity of St Petersburg The estate of General Baron Frederick. aide de camp to the Emperor, forty miles from the capital. has been plundered by peasants General Frederick asked for troops from Gatchina but was in- formed that the situation was too se- Iious to permit of the changing of the present military dispositions.
 It is already certain that some con sternation is apparent in the upper spheres over the magnitude of the task they have assumed Events are march,
