BIDlNG THEIR TIME.
Revolutionary Element Not Prepared
for an UpheaVal.

st. Petersburg, July 25.-Though it is diff
ficult to obtain a true picture of the con-
ditiOns in the interior owing to the en-
barge that has been put upon press dis
patches, all indications point more and
more to the pOStpOnement OF the threat
ened general strike until the government
shall be less, and the country more pre-
pared for such an event; until the harvest
is finished and the revolutionary move
ment develops spontaneously among the
idle pedSantry.
What news has been received from the
provinces today indicates that conditions
are scarcely ripe, except in the famine
districts, for an upheaval. The strateg1sts
of the revolutionary council are labor
ing with the hot heads to induce them to
defer the call for a general strike until it
can come as supplement TO the move
ment already under way. a definite de-
cSiOn will be reached within day or two
in the reorganiZed council of workmen.
No Longer Regarded.
The remnant of the Constitutional DEM
ocratic deputies, many of whom, after
having collected the arrears of salary and
mileage due them, have started hOmeWard

portance has gone, neither the government

Professor Mouromtseff. the president of
the dissolved house, for whom Premier
StOlypin was vainly searching with an in
vitation TO go to PeterhOf while the for
mer was presiding over the outlaw parlia-
ment at Viborg, was again approached
today; but there is not the slightest pros
pect that he can be sWayed. even by i'm
periaI command to take office.
The New Cabinet.
No further changes in the cabinet have
been decided upon, but Nj. Gurko, who
was assistant to M. Stolypin in the min
stry of the interior, who is mentioned as
NJ StichinskyS successor as minister of
agriculture, and whose character may be
judged by the fact that he was high in
favor under both PlehVe and Prince Swat
oolk- Mirsky, probably will be jettisoned
altogether by Premier StOlypin, his name
alone being sufficient to damn the new
government. The same fate may Overtake
Military Procurator PavlOff. who iS.nOW
engaged in organizing the league of es-
tate owners, to educate the peasantry up
to his ideas before the new elections.
Aid Must Be Extended.
The most urgent problem before the
government in case an immediate out
break is proposed is the relief of the dis
tress in the interior. The cabinet meet
ing Tuesday evening was devoted to this
subject and it was voted to extend relief
works in the famine districts. A COM
mission was appointed to decide where
the budget could best be cut to find the

vide more cash for the settlement of
claims for damages to estates during the
peasant excuses. the commission for
Yekaterinoslav province alone demanding
$4,000 in addition to the $4,000 already
expended; but this is capable of being de-
ferred.
Skrydoff's Mission.
Premier Stolypin announced to the coun-
Gil of the empire today that he had OBJ
tanned from Emperor Nicholas special
powers for Admiral SkrydIoff in restoring
and maintaining order and discipline in
the Black sea fleet The admiral, who
departed today for Sebastopoi. told the
Associated Press that his first task would
be to investigate the arrests of sailors of
the fleet and liberate those who were I'M
