st. Petersburg July 25.-Though t
Is difficult to obtain a true picture Of
the conditions in the interior, owing
to the embargo that has been put
upon press dispatches, all indications
point more and more to the postpon-
ment of the threatened general strike.
until the government shall be less
and the country more, prepared for
such an event; until the harvest IS
finished and the revolutionary move
ment develops spontaneously among
the Idle peasantry.
What news has been received from
the provinces today indicates that con-
ditions are scarcely ripe, except in the
famine districts, for an upheayal. The
strategists of the revolutionary council
are laboring with the hotheads to in.
duce them to defer the call for a
general strike until 1t can come as
supplement to the movement al
ready under way. A definite decision
Will be reached within day or two
IN the reorganlzed council of work
men.
No further changes in the cabinet
have been decided upon, but NJ.
Gurko who was assistant to M. Stolv-
pin In the ministry of the interior.
who Is mentioned as M. Etichinsky's !
successor as minister of agriculture.
and whose character may be Judged
itoiH the fact that he was in hfgh
favor from2 both Plehve and Prince
Sviatopolk-Mirsky, probably will be
1ettisoned altogether by Premier Sto-
lypln, his name alone being sufficient
to damn the new government The
same fate may overtake Military Pro-
curator Pavl0ff, who is now engaged
In organizing the league of estate own
ers, to8 8educate the peasantry up TO
his ideas, before the new elections
The most urgent problem before the
government in case an immediate
outbreak is proposed is the relief of
the distress in the interior The cab
met meeting Tuesday evening was de-
voted to this subject, and it was voted
to extend the relief work in the fam
Inc districts. A committee was ap-
pointed to decide where the budget
could best be cut, to find the. 81, $780,
600 voted by parliament for famine
relief. II will be necessary also to
provide that cash be found for the
settlement of the claims for damages
to estates during the recent peasant
excesses, the commission from Yekat-
erOslav province alone demanding ST.
100000 in addition to the $250,O00 al
ready expended; but this Is capable Of
being deferred.
Premier Stolypin announced to the
council of the empire today that h.
had obtained from Emperor Nicholas
special powers for Admiral Skrydloff
In restoring and maintaining order
and discipline in the Black Sea fleet.
The admiral, who departed today for
Sebastopol told the Associated Press
that his first task would be to investl-
gate the arrest of the sailors OF the
fleet. and liberate those who were un-
justly sent to prison.
Admiral Skrydloff said he had
learned that Admiral Rojestvensky
and Captain Clado probably will be
restored tot,the roster of the navy.
y, The Rech Will say tomorrow that
the recovery on the bourse today was
due TO a loan of $3.50, 100000 to sus-
tain prices.
