ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. 16.-Dis-
patches received here today from Penza,
at the junction of the Sura and Volga
rivers, report the arrest OF another
member Of the late Parliament, NJ Vra-
goff under circumstances quite as COM
promising as those in the Onipko case,
Vragoff being charged with completely
in the murder of Lieut. Petrof OF the
rural police and the wounding of
sergeant of the same force After the
return of Vragoff from st. Petersburg
agrsrian disorders broke out at the vii
lage of Kamenko. in which PetroH, who
attempted to Quell the disturbances,
was killed. On the arrival of the Gov
ernor and military, Deputy Vragoff and
the other ringleadcrs were arrested and
sent TO Penza. and the village priest
was confined in the monastery,
Agrarian disorders in another district
of the province led TO an encounter be-
tween the populacc and cossacks, IN
which one peasant was killed and sew
eral were wounded.
The effect of the continued agrarian
disorders on the Russian grain yield
is shown in the fact that the st. Pet
ersburg bourse reports the purchase of
10000 bushels of grain in Germany for
Russian delivery, the first time in the
history Of the bourse that such a thing
has occurred, 1t is explained that ow-
Ing to the increased price of grain 1T
is cheaper at the coast ports TO buy
abroad than in the interior.
Lack of Transportation,
Conditions are aggravated by trans
portation conditions, the nature of
which is shown by an order of the
Minister of Railways permitting for
trains at night
Today's dispatches from Poland are
hardly less grave than those OF last
night. AT LODI, after the police station
had been blown up and burned, Cos
sacks and other troops hred volleys into
the crowds and more or less street
fohting followed The casualties are
not known
The war Of terrorism which the
fighting organization of the Social Rev
olutionists declared Immediately after
Parliament was dissolved, seems now TO
have been begun in earnest. From all
parts of the Empire the telegraph
brings the same story of attacks on po-
lice officials of all classes, accompanied
in the majority of cases by plunder,
The Polish revolutionists are especially
active. There is veritabe reign of
terror from the vlstu]a 10 the German
frontier. Almost nlty cases of assassi-
nation were reported early last night.
The Novoe Vremya today heads its list
Of murders and other crimes, est.
Bartholomew g night in Poland -
Task Will Be Difficult.
The resumption Of terroristic activity
on large scale renders the task of the
Government more difficult and darkens
the prospects of the present ministry in
accomplishing anything in the direc-
tIon of an ame]loratlon of the situation.
While for the moment the campaign Of
the terrorists is bound TO increase the
repulsion Of the more conservative pub
lie opinion against the wild eXcesses
of the extremists. it is at the same time
certain to force the Government to re-
double the measures of repression which
it is claimed will in the end drive pub
lie sympathy back TO support almost
any means of relief. Some of the dis
patches from Poland assert that the
outbreak OF terrorism is in retaliation
for the wholesale arrests and repres.
slons of the Governor General.
The Government announces that the
new Parliament will not be deprived of
the right TO revise the budget for 1907.
The budget will be submitted to Par
lament when il assemblies in March.
and IN the meantime the credits for the
first two months will be one-sixth of
the credits for the present year, under
the authority of the Fundamental law
assigning the credits for the preceding
year in case Of failure of the passage
of the budget.
Several liberal papers have been per
mitted to resume publication either
under their old names or with new
franchises
