In spite of large garrison, re-en-
forced by the police forces, and the
employment of severe repressive meas
ures, the revolutionists in Riga are
waging a desperate war against the
authorities in Riga itself, where the
government is less firmly fixed than in
the remote regions Of the Baltic prov
inces.
In the outlying provinces of European
Russia the policy of summary execu-
ton Of captured revolutionists contin-
ues. They are usually sentenced to
hanging instead Of shooting The troops
are retaliating with the torch for the
destruction Of country houses. The
ruins Of every burned castle looks
down upon the ashes Of consumed
hamIets and cottages.
A private residence at Slice, on the
Prussian frontier, was torn to pieces
by the explosion of bomb. The bodies
Of twelve persons could be seen in the
ruins, and there is reason to believe
that many more were killed.
A military patrol in Warsaw escort
ing lot of captive workingmen was
attacked by mob with all sorts OF
improvised weapons and fred volley
into the mob One man was killed
and a woman severely wounded.
Authentic information comes from
Kiev that the whole Jewish population
is in the widest panic, momentarily
expecting another massacre Scores Of
Jews there have received by mail In
the last few days sentences Of death.
These death warrants were sent out
in the name Of the Pan-R Russian League
In Defense Of the Holy Cross.
The embarkation in the life insur
ance business in competition with pri-
yate companies is under the considera-
ton Of the Russian government, and
an insurance project has been elaborat-
ed by a commission and Is now before
the council of the empire.
The czar personally received depu-
tation of Kursk province peasants, ad-
dressed them as my brothers" and
talked to them in simple terms.
II am most glad to see you" be said.
"You must know very well that every
right of property is sacred to the state.
The owner has the same right to his
land as you peasants have to yours.
The national assembly will soon as
semble and in cooperation with me
discuss the best measures for your re-
lief. Have confidence in me. l will as
sist you"
Lieutenant Colonel Sergueleff has re-
ported from Colomna, near Moscow,
many ruthless slaughters by govern
ment troops along the railway recently.
The cause of the long. mysterious 81
lence in the dispatches from Vladiyos-
tok with regard to the supposed termi-
nation of the mutiny, intimated in Cen
eral Linevitch's laconic dispatch of
Jan. 49, "The city is quiet. The mu-
tinous sailors have been disarmed,"
is explained in a dispatch from Via
divostok, dated Jan. 80, the first dis
patch to reveal the actual conditions in
the fortress on the Pacific. Instead Of
the mutiny being crushed, the restora-
ton Of order was due to tacit armed
truce, conditioned on the removal OF
the Cossacks from the city. Trouble
is apt to fare out unless the emperor
favorably answers the petition for am
nesty to all the mutineers If they vol
unfairly return to duty.
-Four more anarchists, making six
teen within fortnight, We're shot with
out trial in the citadel in Warsaw, Rus
sian Poland. OF the total fifteen were
Jews.
