st. Petersburg, Jan. 22.-Advices re-
ceived here announce that Batoum and
Guria, Black sea ports, and Poti and
Imeretia. trans-Caucasus, are in the
hands of rebels. The government is
sending warsh4ps to Batoum, manned
with infantry, as the spread of mu-
tinous sentiment among the sailors has
made them untrustworthy.
On the eve of the first anniversary
Of RED Sunday" when the govern
ment appeared confident the revolu-
tionaries had been suppressed, bloody
outbreaks are reported anew in many
other parts of the empire. Wherever
the troops have been withdrawn from
formerly agitated districts the i'm
placable enemies of the government
are again spreading devastation and
numbering loyalists. In some districts
there exists veritable reign of ter
ror, the bomb and the torch being APP
piled without mercy.
Fear Battles on cred Sunday"
The greatest fears are entertained at
the palace for what Sunday may bring
forth. 1t will be the anniversary Sun
Gay of Red Sunday" when the troops
fired on Father Gopon and his thou
sands of followers. Thousands fell in
that terrible clash, when the working
men and their wives and children
sought to march to the palace and pc
tition the emperor for alienation of
their sufferings. Desire for revenge
has since ranked in the hearts of the
common people throughout Russia, and
it is feared they may renew attacks
on the authorities while celebrating
the anniversary. Troops are being
massed in many places in anticipation
of trouble. Attacks by mobs will be
met with bullets.

which the troops have been withdrawn,
and are condemning and executing per-
sons who extended hospitality or as
distance to the soldiers.
Plan Reign Of Terror in Moscow.
Moscow, Jan. 22.-The police have
discovered several new bomb factories
in this city. A man has been arrest
ed while trying to blow up the Nicholas
church with dynamite. The discovery
of the factories and the attempt made
on the Nicholas church have aroused
the authorities to take the greatest
precautions. 1t Is feared socialists are
planning to institute reign of terror.
Fight for Universal Suffrage.
st. Petersburg, Jan. 22.-The role of
the constitutional democratic party in
the rational assembly, according to a
resolution adopted at the convention
which opened here January 1S, will be
to obstruct all ordinary legislation.
However, in case the attempt at the
first session to convert the assembly
into a full-fedged constituent body
is unsuccessful, the members of the
constitutional democratic party will
endeavor to secure the passage of an
election law providing for general, al,
rect and equal suffrage and statutes
guaranteeing liberty of speech assem-
bly,, press and religion, and measures
for the pacif1cation of the country.
A resolution providing for the par
ticipation of the constitutional demo-
