Constifuffonar Democrats Almost
 Ready to Join Revolutionary Party.
 St. Petersburg, June 1s.--The const tutional Democrats seem almost reg to throw in their lots with the revoA.- tionists The popular agitation Is so great that at caucus tasting three mornings the question of changing the party's tactics and abandoning any further attempt to postpone an open rupture with the government was se- riousIy debated.
 Radatchefr, Nabocheff. leaders of the constitutional Democrats in the lower House led the radical wing, urging the absolute necessity of keeping pace with the revolutionary movement and insisting that unless they moved for ward to battle immediately they would be overwhelmed and left stranded. Professor Milukoff. M. Vinaver and oth CTS counselled caution. saying it was not yet time to bend to the storm, but radicals were in the majority. The Novoe Vremya today says the consti- tutional Democrats have actually re- solved to break with the government within a few days. but M. Struve, edi- tor of the Osvobojdenie informed the Associated Press that no decision had been reached He admitted however, that the leaders plans were secret.
 Many of the liberals fear a rupture and regard the contemplated steps as a grave error They claim that the constitutional Democrats cannot hope to keep step with the advanced radi- calls. who at meetings held in the su- burbs of St. Petersburg last night not only condemned the lower House of Parliament and characterized the con- stitutionai Democrats as traitors, but even denounced the group of tell.
 Nj. Alladin was hissed because he tried to explain the absurdity of tho contention that the House must de- mand that the emperor summon a con- stituent assembly. The meeting re- fused to listen to his statement that the government could not be asked to sign it's own death warrant.
 Constituent assemblies, he said. were constituted and not summoned by the government. The orators at the meetings glorifled the coming dicta- torship of the proletariat and cheered the cries of down with the govern ment and middle classes" The baker ies here continue closed today, the strikers threatening to wreck the shops where attempts were made to bake bread. Little hardships, however, have thus far resulted.
 The lower classes were warned and supple dthemselves with black bread in advance. The strike of the bakers is to be followed in few days by a butchers strike.
 The news from the interior shows that the wave of strikes is spreading. |. The usual number of robberies are reported today. emphasizinv the grow ing lawlessness and anarchy in the country. There have been two mur- derous train robberies In the Caucasus and three stage coaches were held up in Poland. A case of arms and 5000 cartridges have been confiscated at Riga on an incoming steamer.
 The government seems to fear a repetition of the November mutiny at Cronstadt fortress. where the sailors and marines and the soldiers and work men are reported to b extremely tur- bulent. Two infantry regiments have been hastily despatched to Cronstadt from Krasnoye Selo. and two batteries have been sent there from Oranien- baum. The streets of Cronstadt are filled with troops and the we'll to do inhabitants are hurriedly leaving the island on which the town Is situated.
