LOOKS FOR PEACE
GOVERNMENT BELIEVES THAT THE
 WORST IS OVER.
Revolutionists, However, Maintain that the Present Calm is Only Tenn
 porary, and that Another Outbreak Will Come.

St Petersburg. Jan. s.-The success which thus far has attended the cam paign against the violent revolution ists has plainly encouraged the Gov ernment to believe that the worst is over for the winter except in the Baltic provinces, the Caucasus and the Don region. where the prevailing anarchy is likely to continue indefinitely.
 Some semblance of order is being gradually restored in the empire. The socialists and revolutionists stoutly maintain that the present quiet is only a truce over the holidays and from mysterious hiding places the leaders continue issuing orders to refuse all compromises with imperialism. to boy colt the National Assembly and to pre- pare for a great armed instruction.
 The Government, however. professes confidence that the revolutionists will not quickly recover the loss of strength and prestige which they have suffered. Disorders on a. small scale and acts of terrorism are expected to continue and something in the nature of a gen. efal demonstration is anticipated Jan uary 22, but a great uprising In the immediate future is regarded in Gov ernment circles as impossible. The next real crisis is not expected until the National Assembly meets or the spring sets the peasants In motion.
 The members of the Government de- clare that the abortive attempt at an armed insurrection performed service to the country in revealing to the Lib- erals of all shades of opinion the ne- cessity for fighting the violent program of the Reds and that henceforth, no matter how much the Liberals oppose the policy of the Government. they will be found arrayed :. against the Reds. How far these calculations of the Gov ernnent, based on divisons among It's enemies, will stand the test of events remains to be seen, as many times here tofore they have been rudely shat tered.
 The Constitutional Democrats today are holding a convention at Terjioki, Finland, to discuss their future plans and representatives of the Law and Or der Party, which claims to have over 200, 900 members, met today in St. Pe- tersburg. This party favors broad regime of freedom based on the par ticipations of all citizens irrespective of creed or race in certain degree of local government, but 1t opposes the federative principle, which, the party claims, if carried beyond n certain point, might threaten the integrity of the en1- pire.
 The personal escort of the Emperor has been increased by a squadron of Cossacks composed of picked men chosen from the entire Cossack force throughout the empire.

INQUIRY INTO CANAL.
Senate Committee Will Make a Sweep

IMk huNesth8dthOns
 Washington, Jan. 9.--Ali matters re- lating to the Panama Canal and the government of the canal zone and the management of the Panama Railroad will be investigated by the Senate Com mittee on Interoeeanic Canals. This was decided today at the first meeting of the Committee.
