Y CROWDS THRoNG CAFES

Two new parties have been
launched in Russia with platforms
to exclude the Jews from all po-
litical activity and service in the
army. Terrorism is again rampant
and more acts of vandalism have
to be recorded during the past few
days. And yet the cafes and res
taurants are crowded with merry
throngs Indifferent to the dangers
that confront the nation.
ST. PETERSBURG, September 1.-The
renewal of terrorism on a large scale has
greatly intensified the hostility of the ruling
classes against the Jews. who long have
been regarded as the brains of the revolu-
ton, and 1t is believed has correspondingly
diminished the chances of the Jews obtain
ing more than a nominal enlargement Of
their rights. Every official report Of an
assassination or other crime emphasizes the
role played in it by Jews, and the past
week saw the launching of two parties
the National" at st. Petersburg and the
Russian Popular Party at Moscow-the
principal planks in whose platforms are for
the exclusion Of Jews from all political ac-
tivity and from service in the army. the
latter to be commuted, in the cases OF
Tartars and Firms, for money consider
alton. The Moscow organization fatty pro-
poses to rid the country of Jews by indOrs-
ing the ZiOnists movement and urging the
government to assist in the work of ex-
patriation.
On Merriment Bent.
1t is remarkable that amid all the crime,
bloodsbed and horror with which the coun-
Istry Is filed the music halls and cafes
of the capital are thronged nightly by gay
crowds solely on pleasure bent. To for
eigners 1t seems almost as II certain
moral sense were lacking in the Russians.
A writer In the Novoe vremya calls at
tention to this peculiar weakness Of his
countrymen. who in the presence of the
greatest crisis think only of snatching
pleasure from the hour 1t was thus in q
cafe chatant that the conspirators who
tried to kill Premier StOlypin last Saturday
spent the night previous to the attempt.
But NJ Stolypin says it was always thus in
Russia.
The only reaction noticeable is the in
crease in activity of the BLACK Hundred
organization. which constitutes the other
extreme. Count Konovnitsin. the head Of the
organization known as the true Russian
people, whose life recently was attempted,
in an open letter calls upon his followers to
revenge his death by the destruction of
thousands OF those who are terrOriZng the
nation under the flag Of liberty In case
the next attempt against him Is successful.
Terrorism Rampant.
In the Baltic provinces, where terrorism
Is again rampant, near Venden, the wife
and children of a peasant who was con-
sidered to be reactionary were first shot
and then allowed to perish in the flames
which destroyed their residence. A teacher,
who took the place of Striker" was am
bushed at night and his body riddled with
bullets All witnesses of these revolution

Princess ObOlenski was arrested today at
Rybinsk, near Yaroslav,. for participation
in conspiracy.
All eyes are directed toward the country
where, within the next few weeks, the
peasants will have finished the harvest. In
the cities the government has demonstrated
its ability to hold down the proetarIat, and,
unless the peasants rise, little beyond in
dividual acts of terrorism Is expected to
take place this fall. Some renewals Of
agrarian disorders have already ben re-
ported, but the details surrounding these
are meager the government having re-
turned to the policy of not permitting either
the transmission or publication of news Of
peasant disorders until it Is verified by
official reports.
