Are to Stop the Disorder
in the Army.
An Unprecedented Action Taken
by the Ruler Of Russia.
But Feeling Is That Il Comes al
Too Late an Hour.

st. Petersburg. July 5.-Emperor
Nicholas has taken the almost unprec-
edented step Of publicly directing
Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch
commander of the forces in the mill
tary district of st. Petersburg. to in
vestigate and take measures to stop
the "disOrders," among the troops.
Accompanying the instructions were
orders relieving Prince Vassilchikoff,
commander Of the guard corps. from
duty and dismissing in disgrace Gener-
al Ozeroff, commander Of the First
Guard division, and General Gadon,
commander of the Preobrajensky regi-
ment, the first battalion of which was
recently disgraced for expressing SYM
pathy with Parliament and protesting
against doing police duty. Gadon Is
said to be a descendant of an American
named Gordon, the name having been
Russianized by lapse of time.
All attempts to purge the army of
the spirit of disloyalty now that it has
has invaded the pampered regiments OF
the guard will, however, probably prove
futile. No isolation of the troops will
any longer suffice to prevent the spread
of the contagion. While the majority
of the troops probably are still faith
full, the undermining of the military
supports of the government is proceed
ing very rapidly. The revolutionists
are rejoicing at the success of what
they regard as being the final phase OF
the work of preparing for the coming
revolution.
A further extension of the agrarian
disorders, accompanied by the burning
Of a manor house, is reported today
from the provinces of Pen-KamentZ-
Podollsk and Poltava, and the districts
of Bogoroditsk.

is bankrupt, owing to the refusal OF
the peasants to pay their tax.
The demands of the Group of Toll In
Parliament are secretly celebrating a
plan to force matters to a head. AS

the country is not bound to pay its
obligations to the government SO long

BY spark or clnder. Not ono charge
failed. No one building stood upon its
foundations.
Heroic Work.
Van Ness Avenue Is fiat as the earth
on The east side. Every pound OF gun
cotton did It's work, and though the
ruins burned. it was but feebly. From
Golden Gate Avenue, north, the fire
crossed the wide street in bat one place.
That was the Claus spreckcls place. on
the corner of California Street. There
the flames were writing UP the walls
before the dynamlters could reach 1T.
Yet they made their ways to the founda-
tons, carrying their explosives, despite
the furnace like heat. The charge had to
be placed SO swiftly and the fuse lit in
such n hurry that the explosion was not
quite successful from the trained view
point Of tho gunners. But though the
walls still stood, It was only an empty
victory for the fire, as bare brick and
smoking ruins are poor food for flames.
Captain M6Bride's dynami,ing squad
realized that n stand was hopeless except
at Van Ness Avenue. They could have
forced their explosives further In the
burning section. but not a pound OF gun
cotton could be or was wasted. Tho
ruined blocks that met the wide thor
oughfare formed Il trench through tho
clustered structures. that the connagra-
ton, wild as II was, could not leap. En-
glnes pumping brine through Fort Midi
son from the bay, completed the little
work tina, the gun cotton had left, but for
three days the hnggard-eyed flremen
guarded the pickering ruins.
