To Break with Government.
St. Petersburg, June 1S.-Constitu-
tional democrats seem almost ready to
throw in their lot with the revolutions
lists. Popular agitation is so great that
at a caucus lasting three mornings the
question of changing party tactics
and abandoning any further attempt
to postpone an open rupture with the
government was seriously debated.
ROditCheff n Naboukoff, leaders of
the constitutional democrats in the
lower house, led the radical wing, urg-
ing the absolute necessity Of keeping
pace with the revolutionary movement
and insisting that unless they moved
forward to battle Immediately they
would be overwhelmed and left
stranded.
Believes Decision Is Reached.
Professor Mulukoff, NJ. Vinivar and
others ~counseled caution, saying it was
not yet time to bend to the storm, but
the radicals were in the majority.
The Novoe Vremya today says the
constitutional democrats have actually
resolved to break with the government
within a few days, but M. Strive, ed
itor of the Osvobojdenie, informed the
Associated Press that no decision had
been taken. He admitted, however,
that the leaders plans were secret.
Many liberals fear a rupture n re-
gard the contemplated step as a grave
error. They claim the constitutional
democrats cannot hope to keep step
with the advanced radicals who, at
meetings held in the suburbs of st.
Petersburg last night, not only con-
demned the lower house of parliament
and characterized the constitutional
democrats as traitors, but even de-
nounced the group Of toll. Orators at
meetings gloriied the coming Dictator
ship of the p~roletariat, and cheered
n cried, Down with the government
n the middle classes!"
Agrarian Question to Commission
The long debate on the Agrarian
question ended today in the lower house
of parliament. 1t was decided to send
the question to a commission
The bakeries continue closed today,
strikers threatening to wreck the shops
where attempts We're made to bake
bread. Little hardship, however, has
thus far resulted. The lower classes
were warned n supplied themselves
with black bread in advance. The
strike of the bakers is to be followed
in a few days by a butchers strike.
News from the interior shows the
wave Of strikes is spreading, but it is
too early to tell whether this nov
pent, which seems more spontaneous
than organized, will p~recipitate a crisis.
Mutiny Is Looked for.
The usual number of robberies are
reported today, emphasizing the grow
ing laWlessness Inc anarchy in the
country. The government seems to
fear a repetition of the November mu-
tiny at Cronstadt fortress, where sail
ors, marines, soldiers and workmen are
reported to be extremely turbulent.
The streets Of CronStadt are filled with
troops and well to do inhabitants are
hurriedly leaving the island on which
the town is situated.
