ders.
General fear is expressed by the
Liberals that the military will sur
round and capture the members at
Viborg, on the ground that they are
of a revolutionary assembly. Omlnous
forebodings of the coming storm are
apparent on every hand. The patrols
are being reinforced, excited groups
are seen discussing the situation on
the corners, and occasionally gen,
darmes with drawn swords, pass, es-
corting little band of arrested per.
sons to prison. The railroads leading
out of the city have been placed Tin
der martial law. With the regular gar
rison there are now more than 10000
troops massed in the city. Proclama-
tions prohibiting meetings, public or
private, the raising of flags and sing
ing In the streets, and ordering all to
aid the police in maintaining order,
have been posted throughout the city.
The newspapers are being censored.
Trouble Starts In interior Country.
The countries of the interior report
that the fermentation in the cities has
already begun. There is a renewal OF
the strikes in Poland and in the
south and rioting is reported from
Kharkoff. From every direction come
reports that an era of repression has
been inaugurated including the con.
fiscation of radical newspapers and
the wholesale arrests of political and
revolutionary suspects. There is every
indication that the most serious out.
breaks will occur in the cities of
southern Russia and that the rising
OF the peasants will begin in the volga
region and in the famine stricken cen.
trail provinces.
