st. Petersburg, July 25.-Now that
most of the members are again in the
capital and the necessity for secrecy
regarding their position toward the
government Is at an end because of
the governments actions towards the
representatives of the people, a great
effort is to be made to swing the army
from its allegiance towards the Car
and bring it around so that it can be
used as a weapon against officialdom.
An appeal, couched in the most bit
ter language, has been printed and is
to be circulated broadcast throughout
all Russia, and those who are to be en-
trusted with the task of getting it
before the people are also to be in
structed to make the most earnest ef
fort to get it into the hands of the
troops. The radical members of the
Douma have joined hands with the
Terrorists and the result is likely to be
disastrous for those officials who have
been slated by the Reds" for death.
In view of the fact that it is stated
that the Car has succeeded in secur-
ing large sums of money abroad, and
that these funds are to be used to buy
Off all leaders of the opposition in line
with the past policy of the Russian
government the report is being circu-
lated that this money Is the direct con-
tribution of Emperor William of Ger

that the money was secured from two
leading banking firms in the German
capital who agreed to loan $125, 100000
to Russia only after the Kaiser had
personally seen the bankers and as
sured them that he would guarantee
them against loss.
A peculiar report Is gaining Gre
dence here this morning to the effect
that the Cars health Is again in the
same state as during the latter days
of the Japane se-Russian war, when it
was feared that his mental powers
were threatened. According to this
report he desires to abdicate and turn
over the reins of government to a re-
gent to hold for his son, but the reac-
tionaries are not ready for this at the
present time and SO they are practic.

cossAcKs ARE DIsARMED.
Odessa, July 24-(MidnighD-
Nearly all of the riotous Cossacks
who were responsible for the anti
Jewish agitation. have been disarmed
and are now confined in their bar
racks under a heavy guard of troops.
1t is reported. but not yet confirmed
that before they were finally made
prisoners they attacked the loyal
troops and many of them We're shot
down.
There has been no renewal of the
rioting here since afternoon but fur
ther outrages are expected inasmuch
as the authorities are known to be
encouraging the anti-Jewish agitation
in order to divert the attention of the
people from the events that have
transpired at ST. Petersburg since the
Douma was dissolved.
The city is in reality now under
martial law and all persons are for
hidden to gather in the streets and no
one is allowed out tonight unless
they can show good and sufficient rea-
sons for being abroad.
