 St. Petersburg, June 17--The pitiable affair at Bialystok apparently has burn , ed itself out No further bloodshe ed was reported today and no more Is ex- pectec even b% the radicals who arc satisfied that the authorities are now in control and will do everything pos sible to prevent a renewal of the ex- cesses.
 This confidence is based on the action of the Governor of Grodono. who is hated and distrusted by the bureau crats and who after Investigating the situation at Bialystok too kthe unpre- cedented step in order to prevent a spread of the massacres by telegraph ing the authorities of all towns within the Jewish pale denying the alleged official reports that the disorders were due to the wanton throwing of bombs at Christian procession by Jewish rev. olutionists.
 This measure aided by the Catholic clergy who today throughout Russian Poland addressed their congregations imploring them not to believe reports spread broadcast for the purpose of stirring up bloody excesses was efica- cious in calming the agitated spirits among the Christian population. The Catholics of Warsaw cancelled a great religious procession which was to have been held here today in order to avoid the chance of conflict.
 The general situation however is hourly growing more disquietiug and the country seems to be on the verge Of another gigantic upheaval. In St Petersburg and Moscow, the population is greatl yexcited and nothing Is talked except general political strike which would bring the Government to its knees. The proletariat leaders who have been preparing for months for a blow, believe the moment has come to strike. The Agrarian troubles now are sufficiently extended and disorders in the army are rife. The Government has openly refused to accede to the de- mands of Parliament and a rupture is imminent there.

 dresed by several members of the Group of Toip' of Parliament and ev- cry revolutionary utterance was fran tIcally applauded
 The government appears to be await Ing for the blow to fall before rais- ing its hand. Heavy patrols have been placed in the streets and the railroad stations are occupied by troops, but no action has been taken to stop the agitation. The Emperor Is reported to be spending most of his time playing tennis at Peterhof.
 It Is significant as indicating the grogres of the revolutionary eminent that general trike i expected to be inaugurated on the Nicholas Railroad between St. Petersburg and Moscow. which was the only line out of Moscow which was not affected during the up- rising last September. The Rech to- day again appeals to the emperor to save the situation by dismissing Pre- mier Goremykin and placing members of parliament to enjoy a measure of public confidence in control of inc government Admiral Alexieff, com mandant of the fortres at Cronstadt has received grim warning in the shape of coffin which was delivered at his home.
