 St. Petersburg, Aug. 19,-A call to an uncompromising war with terrorism and revolution in Poland was sounded in the imperial telegram of congratula- ton to Governor General Skallon of Warsaw, on his escape from the bombs of Would-be assassins at Warsaw Sat- urday. In this telegram Emperor Nich- olas, after thanking Divine Providence for saving the generals life for me and Russia" continues: Do mot be discouraged; be resolute in the battle with insensate anarchy and sedi- tion"
 Under present conditions in Poland it will be difficult to execute the imperial will, as the police have practically been | driven from the streets of the Polish capital, and the prevailing military measures are believed to be inadequate | to cope with the revolutionists. Hence the text of the telegram is regarded here as indicating the intention of the emperor to strengthen the hands of General Skallon or his successor by fur nishing more troops, empowering the use of sterner methods than hitherto were permissible, and the formation of special ministry to take over the gov ernment of the Polish provinces,
 The establishment of what is practi- cally dictatorship for Poland is hinted at by the Svet, the court organ. It is considered extremely probable that General Skallon, even if he is not a vic tim to a second and more successful at | tempt on the part of the terrorists, may retire of his own volition, as did his predecessor after similar nerve-shak. ! ing experience, or at the request of tho emperor, made as the result of repre- sentations from both the court ant army factions, which have been urging his replacement by stronger man fol some time past.
