MILITARY REVOLUTION
 IN THE RUSSIAN ARMY
The Extent of the Propaganda of Unrest
 Yet to Be ASCertained
Official Reports Dealing in Detail With BiaIystOk Affair Disclose the Participation of the Authorities in the Massacres of the Jews.

St. Petersburg. July 3.-All doubt of the existence of an organized military revolutionary league which is inSpir- ing mutinies and uprisings in the army has been set at rest by the discovery of the seal and documents of the lea gue during the search of soldiers attached to staff headquarters at Wilma std de- tailed to various regiments of the third corps.
 War Minister Rudiger has ordered a strict investigation to be made of all attachments of troops, in order to de- termine the extent of the revolutionary propaganda and the best methods of counteracting 1t. Martial law was pro- claimed today at Odessa on account of the ferment among the troops there
 The administrative and parliament ary views of the Bialystok eXcesses were published tonight-first, in the re- port of Baron Frisch, president of the council of the empire, to Minister of Interior Stolypin. published in the Of hcial Messenger, and, later in the re- port of the parliamentary commission
 Though they differ in many respects, they unite in holding certain officials or at least the inferior police officials guilty of melting and participating in the eXcesses. It is significant that Shiremsteiff, prefect of police of Bialy- stok, has been summoned to St Peters burg.
 There is a slight discrepancy in the statements of casualties. According to the report of Baron Frisch. S8 were killed, of whom 75 were Jews, and 7S wounded, of whom 60 were Jews, while the property loss is placed at S1OO,OOO, whereas the parliamentary commission reports S2 Jews and Christians killed and approximately the same number wounded
 The commissions report will be dis. cussed on Thursday It gives details in practically every case of killing, and in eight instances it cites the names of soldiers or policemen who murdered one Or more Jews as absolute proof of the participation of the military and police. It declared that the program and preliminary events show evidence of general. deliberate plan.
 The report urges, in conclusion, an interpolation of Minister of Interior Stolypin as to what measures have been taken to bring the guilty ones to justice, and especially the police off 1 cials and the governor of Grodno. who left Bialystok before order was re- stored, and an interpolation of War Minister Rudiger as to the participa- tion of soldiers in the excesses, the
 
 the command of petty police officers, ! and the supersession of the local au- thorities by the military before the | proclamation of martial law.
 Baron Frisch's report takes the view that revolutionary activity and terror 1 ism are responsible for the anti-Jewish | feeling, and alleges that the reactionary | police were left a free hand after their 1 brothers had been slain by the revolu- | tionists.
 The minister of war has received ! telegrams to the effect that a serious | mutiny has broken out in the second i and third battalions of the Tirallers and the first railway battalion at Ask abad. It originated in the now famil- far way of the arrest of soldiers and | their comrades demanding their re- lease and the formulation of a list of grievances, including a demand for the removal of officers and their replace ment by men from the ranks. The mu- uneers set the governor general at de- fiance. Reinforcements of infantry Cossacks and artillery have been dis patched to Askabad from Merv
