IN WILD TERROR.
Russian Situation Throws the
People Into Panic.
Stories of Assassination Are Re-
ported by Wholesale.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 16.@The war
of terrorism which the fighting or
ganization of the social revolutionists
declared Immediately after parliament
was dissolved seems now to have be-
gun in earnest. From all parts of the
empire the telegraph brings the same
story of attacks on police officials of
all classes. accompanied in the ma
jority of cases by plunder. The Polish
revolutionists are especially active.
There is a veritible reign of terror from
the Vistula to the German frontier. Al
most so cases Of assassination were re-
ported early last night. The Novoe
Vremya today heads its list of muir
ders and other crimes, est. Bartholo-
news night in Poland"
The resumption of terroristic ac-
tivity on 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
increase the revulsion of the more
conservative public opinion against
the wild excesses of the extremists, it
is at the same time certain to force
the government to redoubIe the meas
ures of repression which it is elaine
will In the end drive public sympathy
back to support 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 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 par
lament when it assemblies in March,
and in the meantime the credits for the
