 St. Petersburg, July 24.-War to the knife, and the knife to the hilt with rev. olution was proclaimed to-day by Pre- mier Stolypin in telegram adressed to the governor generals, governors and projects throughout Russia, and to the viceroy of the Caucasus, who are ordered to strike and spare not ln et- forts to preserve order. and crush the enemies of society,"" Included in this category, as shown by the events ot the day, are not only revolutlonlsts ana socialists, but also the educated liberal and landed classes represented in the constitutional democratic party, whose clubs everywhere have been closed, and all the progressive newspapers which are not permitted to lift their voices anywhere throughout the en- tire land.
 Premier stolypin's telegram Is as fol- lows:
 Tn conformity with instructions re- ceiyed from the emperor, with the view Of securing full Incorporation between the different local authorities, l here- bv inform you that the government expects you to exercise vigilant and untiring supervision over your subor- dinates, so that order may be prompt ly and definitely restored. Disturbances must be suppressed, and revolutionary movements must be put down by all legal means. The measures you take must be carefully considered. The struggle begun Is against the enemies of society, and not against society it. self. Consequently wholesale repres- sion cannot be approved of. 1mprudent and illegal acts are likely to give rise to discomfort instead of conducting to calm, and cannot be tolerated. The intentions of the emperor are immut- able. The government firmly desires to : assist in the amendment of the legal brocedure and the laws hitherto en- EJrced which no longer serve their Lurpose. The old regime will be re- Renerated. but order must be main- tained fully You must act on your own initiative, as you are invested with responsibility. Firm and vigorous steps taken on these lines will doubt Jess be upheld by the best part of so- ciety."
 The manifesto bears remarkable similarity to the earlier compositions of Ministers of the Interior Plehve and Bouligin. and the reactionary press has had slight difficulty in cutting it down, as they already had done with yester- days imperial manifesto, into an ap- peal to the League of Russian Men, [" and other old school Russians to rise and smite all the progressive classes.
 Even before the declaration of the dissolution of the lower house of parlia- ment the war office had perfected its plans for handling expected disorders N1 civilian Genera Muller Zakomelsky, who suppressed th' Sebastopol revolt, and co-operated witt General Rennenkampff in the reduction of the Siberian rebellion last winter was recalled from the command or corps and placed at the disposition O the war office to be used WhereVe trouble may first be ~lanifestetd. Boti the government and the revolutionist expect this outbreak in the south, ant that it will roll northward to the twt capitals. This may indue the proletaria organizations to postpone the declara tion of a general strike from St. Peters blirg until contagion is borne up iron the south, The railroaders, however are anxious to have this strike declared at once. Members of the railway em ployes union with whom The Associat ed Press correspondents here &and il Moscow have talked declared that the! were ready to walk out at the first cal from the League of Leagues, wit which the union is federated Tn strictest censorship over news of dis orders is maintained. As an example the mutiny at Brest-Litovsk July 2 when band of artillerymen from tn fortress fired on the Officers club, kill ing two officers, has been transforme into a fire destroying the house of tn officers club
