st. Petersburg, June 19.-The gen.
eral situation is hourly growing more
disgusting and the country seems to
be ON the verge of another gigantic
upheaval. In st. Petersburg and Mos
COW the populace is greatly excited.
and nothing is talked Of except gen.
eral political strike which would bring
the government to its knees. The pro-
letariata leaders, who have been pre-
pairing for months for blow. believe
the moment has come to strike. The
agrarian troubles now are sufficiently
extended and disorders in the army
are rife, The government has openly
refused to accede to the demands of
parliament, and rupture is imminent
there.

pend upon the success achieved, but
IL the government is brought down it
is not doubted they have determined
that they and not parliament shall
take over the reins OF government and
forever enjoy the fruits of victory.
The strikes in st. Petersburg and
Moscow, with which the movement
was started, while based ostensibly on
economic grounds, really are political.

and adjoining towns struck today and

poor wasssold.
The Streets were filled with crowds
Of work11en.
A correspondent of the Associated
Press was stopped today in one of the
suburban. towns by workman, who
demanded money without the slight
est embarrassment. He announced
that those who had money might as
well DIVIDE it as the workmen soon
would b6Aaple to take what they want
