 St. Petersburg, July 25.-Though it is difficult to obtain 8 true picture of the conditions in the interior, owing to the embargo that has been put on press dispatches, all indications point more and more to the postponement of the threatened general strike until the gov ernment shall be less and the country more prepared for such an event, until the harvest is finished and the revolu- tionary movement develops spontane- ously among the idle peasantry. What news has been received from the prov inces to-day indicates that conditions are scarcely ripe except in the famine districts for an upheaval. The strate- gists of the revolutionary council are laboring with the hotheads to induce them to defer the call for the general strike until 1t can come as a supple ment to the movement already under way, A definite decision will be reach- ed within day or two in the reor- ganized council of workmen.
 The remnant of the constitutional democratic deputies, many of whom, after having collected the arrears of salary and mileage due them, have | started homeward and are caucusing industriously; but their importance has gone, neither the government nor the reyolutionists paying much attention to the former dominant party in the lower house of parliament. The gov- ernment, indeed, has not abandoned it's efforts to enlist moderates in the cab met. Professor Mouromtseff, the pres- ident of the dissolved house, for whom Premier Stolypln was vainly search ing with an invitation to go to Peter hof while the former was presiding over the outlaw parliament at Viborg, was again approached to-day, but there is not the slightest prospect, that he can be swayed, even by the imperial command to take office.
 No further changes in the cabinet have been decided upon.
 The most urgent problem before the government in case an immediate out break is postponed is the relief of the distressed in the interior. The cabinet meeting Tuesday evening was devoted to consideration of this subject, and it was voted to extend relief works in the famine districts. A commission was appointed to decide where the budget could best be cut to find the $7,600,00O voted by parliament for famine relief, It will be necessary also to provide more cash for the settlement of claim ants for damages to estates during the peasant exeesses, the commission for Yekaterinoslav province alone demand ing $150,OOO in addition to the $25O,OO0 al- ready expended; but this is capable of being deferred,
 Premier Stolypin announced to the council of the empire to-day that he had obtained from Emperor Nicholas spe- cial powers for Admiral Skrydloff in re- storing and maintaining order and dis cipline in the Black Sea feet The ad- l ,,oiroI davo rtod +o-daw for, Seho etono1 Admiral Skrydloff said he had learned that Admiral Rojestvensky and Captain Glade probably will be restored to the roster of the navy.
 The Echo will say tomorrow that the recovery on the bourse to-day was due to loan of $25O, O,0OO,OOO by the Mendels- sohns to sustain prices.
