whom the strike could not succeed, re fused to give tue signal to go out.
 The ministry of the interior has iS- sued statement describing the strike as complete failure. it having at rlined serious dimensions nowhere eX ! cept in St Petersburg and Moscow The statement says further that the 1 factory inspectors are of the opinion ! that most of the factories will ne working full strength before the end ! of the week
 Land Question Under Advisement. The government. il was said by q high official, now that the strike is ! practically over. intends to follow its programme of strong handed reform" In order to avoid the land riots and the ! burning of big estates by the peasants the cabinet is now considering real apportionment. of land among the peasants and the ending of commu- nistic land holding.
 Premier Stolypiu believes that the peasants will be ready to listen to a plan that means the distribution of land immediately and that they will gladly accept less than they expect at present when they realize that they can get the land at once. The admin istration believes that this move will only rally the peasants to its side.
 Although the government has an ! nounced the policy it will pursue. it Is hard to see just how it will obtain the money with which to buy the land for distribution, although. as a result of the agrarian disorders. the holders of the great tracts are willing to sell at a reasonable figure.
 The agrarian disorders continue throughout the country. Word was re- ceived of the destruction of Prince Kotzebue's estate. near Poltava. Not only were the houses and barns burn ed. but all the horses and cattle per ished in the flames.
 Police Seize Arms.
 That there Is continued preparation among the revolutionaries for an arm- ed uprising in the south is believed to be indicated by the interception by the police of shipments of arms and ann intuition. including rifles and sabers, at Poltava and Theodosia
 More than half of the factories in this city resumed work. and 1t Is ex- pected that all of those affected by the strike will reopen in a day or two. The government naturally Is rejoicing over the failure of the strike, and the conservative element of the dissolved lower house hopes to regain its lost prestige in the next general election. Just when the next election will be held is not known.
 The leaders of the radical movement are not discouraged. They say that there must be a lull before each storm. and as they are not sufficiently organ ized to cause the entire country to rise up in arms at given signal the best thing they can do is to keep the czar and his officials in a perpetual state of terror by sporadic uprisings.
 The stables granaries and Touring mill on the estate of Princess Chap litsky. near Poitava. have been de stroyed by incendiaries.

 Says Jews Back Revolution.
 X prominent member of the govern ment, who is in complete sympathy with the decision taken at Peterhof to fight the revolution energetically, points out that the workmens unions are without funds to carry on a pro- tracted struggle and he was disposed, like many of hS class, to contend that the real power behind the scenes are the rich Jews, who are interested in striking a blow at Russian credit, which would compel the government to come to terms on the Jewish question.
