I
which the special revolutionists inaugu-
rated with the attempt on the life Of
Premier Stolypin Saturday and the as
sassinatiOns of Generals Min and Won
Llarliarski has produced such a feeling
Of resentment at Pcterhof that the spec
ire of a dictatorship has been revived.
Government Must Use Force
The government, it is claimed, can
only rely on force to fight the terrorists
as the public press, which might be
expected to manifest revuision of feel
ing against the crime which sacrificed
the lives Of score Of innocent per-
sons i'll The attempt to murder Il man
who personally had not given cause Tor
offence, remains coldly Indifferent. In
deed, while expressing formal words Of
communication, the hidden satisfaction
at the fact that the object of the cam
paign is to strike terror into the heart
Of the government is hardly con-
cealed. Only the NOvo Ercmya and the
official ROSSIa denOunce the tcrroriStS
as enemies Of society.
The conclusions Of the liberal press are
summed up in the charge made by the
Rech that the government alone is guilty
and responsible for what has happened.
Hundreds Are Arrested.
The police have made hundreds of ar
rests since Saturday i'll an attempt to get
their hands upon the organizer and par
uCIpantS IL what is evidently a power
full, far reaching conspiracy, but thus far
they have been unable to secure the
threads necessary to enable them to un-
rayel the Skein.
Ali that has been definitely established
is that two of the men who sacrificed
Their lives in the attempt on the premier
arrived here August % from Moscow,
where the organization is supposed to
have its headquarters, accompanied by
( two women. They rented an apartment

Another young man, bearing Il pass

Prince Nakashidge, who was one of
the victims of the attempt on NJ. Stoly-

warfare against the revoutonists.

mitted.
Mile. Larienoff lived near the man.

Deemed Act of Civil War.
The most actual impression of Satur-
| days tragedy at Premier Stolypins resi-
| dence. in which thirty-two persons We're
killed and nearly fifty injured, is the
sense that Russians regard it rs an act
! of civil war. There is a formidable ele-
ment in the educated party which in
Sists on comparing it to the throwing of
a shell into Il beleaguered citadel. They
| declare the government press has taken
| for its cry, Who is not with us is
| against u.s.
They explain the fearful merclessness
of Saturdays outrage by referring to the
| evolutionary expeditions which visited
wholesale punishment along the railway,
where government employees had struck.
| One writer remarks that the terrible
| force of the bomb shows that reyolu-
| tioniSts were prepared to cause the
| death Of many victims. He adds they
avoided this in former attempts at as
/ SaSSinatiOn, but eXecutionary expeditions
have lowered the price of life to the
| extreme, and now all times have been
! swept aside.
Only Hope in Society.
NJ Demetchinsky, we'll esteemed
writer of moderate views. addresses Il
| letter tc Stolypin in today's Journal
Perolem, in which he says all citizens
feel for the premier that he suffered in
the nations affairs but there are only
two means of dealing with such calami-
ties. There is the force which as mar
tial law and evolutionary expeditions
! show, has failed. 1t IS true troops will
! suppress public disorders. but they are
powerless against u secret enemy. Thou
sands of police agents are equally pow
erleSS.
The entire body of society is the only
force that can struggle with Il secret
enemy. and society viii cooperate only
when it is given the rights OF an ally
