ton with the Group of Toll of Parlia-
ment rising of the people will be en-
gineered. The leaders at a recent
meeting in Moscow issued instructions
to branch organizations throughout the
empire MGaFgnlnS them and against n
structing them, when the signal is
given, to extend the strike gradually
and carefully, avoiding collisions at
the beginning NJ Chernoff, who es-
capped Friday from the offices Of the
Misla, when g raid was made upon
Social Revolutionary party which was
being held there, is regarded as one Of
their most skillful leaders.
No Warning Given.
Perhaps the most remarkable feature
of the events connected with the dis
solution of Parliament is that the Gov
ernment carefully avoided notifying
the representatives of the foreign pow
ers of what was coming. No word of
official warning was received even by
the representative of Russia's ally,
something was about to happen was
the appearance of guards at the en-
bassies, legations and consulates short
ly after midnight, but this morning, i'm
mediately after the guards had been
stationed, notes were sent explaining
the measures taken to protect the for
eign representatives. Up to this even
ing no other communication has been
transmitted to them.
The representative Of the powers
were busy today dispatching long tele-
grams to their Governments, advising
them Of the sudden and serious turn Of
events. There were several confer
ences Of diplomats this afternoon and
evening concerning the advisability of
asking for warships, or at least hiring
steamships to take off foreign subjects
In case of necessity, but no concerted
action was decided upon. Tonight the
trains are filed with foreigners depart
ing abroad.
An imperial manifesto issued tonight,
which is regarded as both a threat and
an appeal to the Emperor's millions of
muJiks to Join In suppressing the revo-
luton under promise Of land, summons
the "faithfu1 sons of holy Russia
Many Liberals consider this a direct
incitement Of the black hundreds.
In spite Of this excitement the day
| passed with comparative quiet in the
capital and street rioting only began
! with the advent Of darkness, but the
collisions generally were on small
scale.
At Sadovia crowds with stones had
| the gendarmes and police on the run
whom squad Of Cossacks came to the
rescue and charged and dispersed the
mob with their whips.
About midnight there were rumors
! Of heavier fighting at the Narva cato,
whore the massacre Of the followers Of
Father Gapon took place eighteen
months ago today. The troops there
are said to have fred several volleys
and it is reported that there were
number Of casualties.
German Ruler Blamed.
Tonight stories were industriously
spread that the Emperor's final decf-
| sion to dissolve Parliament was not
taken until he had communicated with
Berlin. According to one story, a
member Of the German embassy wont
to the telegraph office Saturday night
nication with Emperor William. and
only after receiving and transmitting
u l000-word dispatch from Emperor
| William TO Emperor Nicholas was the
ukase finally signed. The inference in
tended to be drawn is that Emperor
William is Emperor Nicholas s evil
genius and false adviser.
The trouble with this story is that
\ tho sovereigns would not be forced to
| resort to such roundabout methods Of
| communication, as direct wires arc
available at Peterhof. Beside the story
is traceable to sources which usually
seek to make Emperor William respon-
slble for all of Europe IS ills.
The status of the Council Of the En-.
pire seems to be in doubt. Neither the
u6ase nor manifesto mentions it, but
whether this WAS by design or over
sight has not yet been cleared up. AS
a coordinate branch Of Parliament it
must be adjourned or dissolved when
the. lower house is prorogncd. but it re-
mains to be seen whether new elections
