ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 7.-(Noon)
The workmen's council has called off
the strike.
The order applies here only, but the
provincial leaders are expected to take
similar action.
The government, which had prepared
for the worst, holding military trains in
readiness at all the centers and had even
made arrangements to send out the Tor
eign mails by torpedo boats from st.
Petersburg, naturally is greatly rejoiced
over its victory.
Nothing more than local echoes of all
this feverish activity OF the revolution
airy and proletariat leaders, with pos
sibly more active state OF terrorism IS
expected in the immediate future.
Factories Resume Work.
More than half of the factories here
resumed work this morning and While
the employees of some of the establish.
ments at Moscow are still out, none OF
the predictions of the extreme parties
who organized the strike movement were
fulfilled. Many Of the trades unions
totally refused to join. There was no
sign of secous peasant movement.
While the represSiOnS and arrests OF the
leaders undoubtedly were a great factor
in bringing about the present situation,
it is apparent that the moment was Ill
chosen for strike. The people We're
not in the temper to support it.
As a consequence the revolutionary
leaders, who really inspired it with the
intention of transforming the movement
into an armed uprising, have suffered
severe loss of prestige and the proleta-
rlat organizations have been so weak
ened in the eyes of the masses that 1t
is probable they will not quickly recover
Premier Stolypin, with his hands free,
1t is asserted will also have a better
chance of realizing his policy Of strong
handed reform"
Many Flee from Sevastopol.
Steamer advices from Sevastopol say
that fully 10000 persons have left the
city and the exodus is still in progress.
Admiral Skrydloff, commander of the
Black sea fleet, is afraid to remove the
breechlocks from the fortress guns in
case the crews of the warships mutiny,
and Mt the same time he distrusts the
fortress artillerymen. At the fortress
and on the warships double stats of Of
ticers keep watch with cooked revolvers-
Peasants Ready to Fight.
The troops there are restless, peasants
are reported to be preparing for disOr-
der as soon as the harvest is over, and
more agitators are going among them.
found Il list of twenty revolutionists
whom he had denounced, was killed
Monday. One hundred and thirty local
strikers We're banished to remote prov
inces.
Press Agents at Work.
The Cars press bureau has issued a
statement explaining why several emf
nent men refused to enter the cabinet.
The statement says:
Prince Nicholas Lvoff and Alexander j.
Guchkoff had a long audience with the
Emperor, but 1t was announced that from
the view point of peaceful realization of the
reforms they were of greater service in
their usual sphere of activity, which re-
quired the mobilization of all sober, social
forces.
Regarding the intention of the govern
ment, these remain unchanged, and include
the restOrat ton of order with frmness and
energy. The government Immediately will
effect, within the limits of the law, those
prudent reforms which must lead Russian
life into lawful paths.
Another Blood Manifesto.
The former deputies composing the
Social Democratic and labor parties,
Polish and Jewish committees, and va
rious revolutionary bodies in an urgent
appeal for constitutional rule last night
issued a Joint manifesto. Its tenor is
shown in the closing sentence:
I'VE call upon you for general strike
to cast down the imperial government
Long live the general strike and the de-
cisiye struggle for national power"
Fortress Commander Slain.
At Pyatisorsk the commander of the
fortress was killed today by an officer
of the garrison.
In Hardin. Manchuria a band of
bandits engaged in pillaging along the
Sungari river, was shelled by a Russian
gunboat yesterday. A large number of
