kuife with revolution and the knife to
the hilt, was proclaimed yesterday by
Premier Stolypin in telegram ad-
dressed to the governor generals,
governors and projects throughout
Russia and to the ytceroys of the eau
casia, who are ordered to strike and
spare not in efforts to preserve order
and crush the enemies of society.
Included in this category, as shown
by the events of yesterday, are not
only the revolutions and socialists,
but also educated, liberal and landed
classes represented in the constitu-
tional democratic party, whose clubs
everywhere have been closed, and all
progressive newspapers, which are
not permitted to lift their voices any
where throughout the entire land.
Stolypin's telegram is as follows:
The Call to Loyalists.
In conformity with instructions re-
ceived from the emperor with a view
to securing full cooperation between
the different local authorities, | here
by inform you that the government
expects you to exercise vigilant and
untiring supervision over your subor-
dinates so that order may be prompt
ly and definitely restored. Disturb
ances must be suppressed and revo,l-
tionary movements must be put down
by all legal means. The measures
you take must be carefully constd-
cred The struggle begun is against
the enemies of society and not
against society itself, Consequently
wholesale repression cannot be APP.
proved of. Imprudent and illegal
acts are likely to give rise to dis
content instead of conducting to calm
and cannot be tolerated The inten-
tons of the emperor are immutuable.
The government firmly desires to as
sist in amendment of the legal pro
Cedure and laws hitherto enforced
which no longer serve their purpose.
The old regime will be regenerated,
but order must be fully maintained.
You must act on your own initiative
as you are invested with respon j.
bility. Firm and vigorous steps taken
on these lines will doubtless be up
held by the best part of society"
Like other Repression Orders.
The manifesto bears remarka6Te
similarity to earlier compositions of
the ministers of the interior, Plehv9
and BOuligin, and the reactionary
press has had slight difficulty in cut
ting it down, as they already had
done with yesterdays imperial ma ii
festo, into an appeal to the league OF
Russian men" and other old school
Russians to rise and smite all pro-
gressive classes.
Even before the declaration of 'ne
dissolution of the lower house of par
iiament, the war officers had per-
feCted plans for handling the ex-
pected disorders, both military aud
civilian. General Zakomelsky, who
suppressed the Sebasvopol revolt and
cO-operated with General Rennen-
kampf in the reduction of the Siberian
rebellion last winter, was recallel
from the command of the corps and
placed at the disposition of the war

may first be manifested Both gov

this outbreak in the south, and that
it will roll northward to the two
