SIGNS OF CIVIL WAR.

Indications That Emperor Has
Chosen Policy of Repression.

St Petersburg July Ts-The Russian govern

rlands OF the people. The murder OF Admiral
Chuknsh and General Kozlof. the widespread
plot 20 kin the leaders OF the reactonary party
and the outrages committed by peasants and
worzmen have apparently convinced the En-
gDeror that further concessions will be fatal 70
the dynasty. and that the only possibility OF pre-
serving autOcracy lies in repression.
II was learned to-day that the Emperor had
asked the members of the present Cabinet 20 re-
tain Office. and the apprehensiOns of dissolu-
zion OF parliament are renewed. The adoption

which often reflects the views OF the court. says
to-day that the adoption by the lower house Of

jurisdiction Of parliament and virtually con-
stitute an appeal from the government to the

with its adoption parliament would cross the
Rubicon. abandon its professed policy OF trying

it deliberately pour oil on the flames.

leading Constitutional Democrats in the lower

BIG ROBBERY STORY D1scRED1TED.
Newport Knows Nothing Of Reported Jewel
Theft-Few Criminals There.
TBy Telegraph 10 The Tribune. !


Newport r. l.. July 1S-A stir was created
in the cottage colony to-day by report which
appeared in a New York morning paper, saying
that one OF the women in the cottage colony
here had been robbed Of Jewels valued at $4,000.
The women at once made an investigation to
see if their jewels were secure and so far as
known none have been found missing. AT least
no robbery has been reported to the police.
Chief Crowley said that so far as he knew
there was nothing in the report. that he had re-
ceived no complaint and that neither the New
York police nor those Of any other city had
communicated with him in regard to the matter
He was inclined to think that it was a story
without foundation.
The police of Newport have been alert this
summer in regard TO the appearance here Of sus-
picious characters, and when one appears he is
at once sent out of town For the first time in
It's history Newport has police inspector whose
duty is largely to attend to this work. and being
a man of experience he is keeping the city clear
OF criminals. The story of the robbery is not
believed in Newport and it is safe to say that
no Newport cottager is a loser Of Jewels val
ued at the amount named.
The police refused yesterday to give out further
information concerning the reported robbery of
jewelry from a woman prominent in local and New
port society. The Jewels are said to be valued At
about $4,000. but whether they were stolen from
the owners home here or in Newport has not been
divuged There twenty-six different articles in
the list of stolen jewelry, chief among which is a
diamond stomacher The thieves who got avvav
with these are supposed to have been the ones who
committed similar robbery some time ago when
diamonds valued at about 10000 were stolen.
