ST Petersburg, March 1e.-There is
already evidence that only check and
NOT defeat has been administered To
the reactionists who are conducting the
anti Semitic agitation in Russia. Pre-
mer Wittee, after be had forced de-
cision Of the cabinet to suppress the
agitation, knowing the sudacity Of his
opponents, took the precaution privately
to ask the Jewish leaders to notify him
instantly whenever the Jewish inhabi.
tants Of any locality were threatened,
in order to place him in position to
insist that measures be taken to pro.
tect them. rhc Jewish leaders, however,
now charge that the reaetionary clique
with the eonnivanee of sympathetic To-
cal governors general are boldly arrang-
ing to block such warnings The Lead
ers claim To hsva pro1f that orders have
been given at seycarl places, specifically
citing Yitebek, West Russia, not to
transmit messages to the premier warn
ing him Of the imminenee of trouble

ing that this was done with the know
ledge of Interior Minister DtuBovo.
Charges of interference on the part of
the local police aEieials to prevent free

tionaries. Ia many places the peasants
were afraid TO vote on account oil the
police at the polls. Hundreds Of repre-
sertatiyes Of the Liberal parties were
arrested, and in some eases there were
even military demonstrations. The gov
eminent agents opeily threatened the
peasants with repressions il certain per-
sons were elected. The peasants from

Of the provinces, especially in the west,
the peasants displayed great indcpen-
denee az their meetings and talked only
of division OF lands Their hostility
toward the nohlemen and big landlords
was intense, ard they defeated all the
priests and village officials.

of Gonlel, West Russia, who armed 8

mercy 10 revslntienists, in spite Of the
emperor's instructions 10 display greater
leniency. When the refugees diseH
bsrked, having fed from Russia without
vised passports, TREY we're regarded As
suspects, arid some Of them were given
