RUSSIAN OUTLOOK DARK.
little to Be Hoped From the Meeting
of the Third Duma.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 29.-The most
unfavorable auguries for the working power
of the third duma may be drawn from the
zemstvo congress, which has been in ses-
sion this week at Moscow. Membership
to this body is dictated by the classes
which will control the elections in most of
the provinces of Russia, and it was thought
that the work they accomplished at this
conference might foreshadow the compo-
sition of the next parliament.
The so-called black nobility or ''reac-
tionary gentry were in a large majority
and the deliberations of the congress were
characterized by a display of utter I'M
familiarity with parliamentary procedure
and hostility toward the liberal program
which the congress had been called to
specially consider and reform.
The zemstvoists recommend some extern
sion of franchise in relation to local self
government, but left all the practical de-
tails to be worked out by individuals or the
ministry. Nothing else was accomplished
during the entire week.
The Octoberists, who expected to form
the center of the new duma, made a dis
appointing showing.
Michael Stakovitch a former member Of
the duma, and few others, displayed some
initiative. but the majority of the members
seemed without plans or definite ideas of
leaders capable of directing the work of a
parliament.

RUSSIA TO INTERFERE
WILL PROCEED AGAINST ANY
FURTHER ARMENIANMAssACR

ST. PETERSBURG, June 29.-The situa-
ton at Bitlis, Asatic Turkey, is aging
the particular attention of the foreign
office, which is preparing to make it's rep
reservations at Constantinope through Am
bassador Zinovieff, and if they are inef-
fective Russia will adopt further measures
to enforce a restoration of order and the
prevention of Armenian massacres. The
diplomats here are talking of the POSSIBLE
ity of international action. An inspired
article in the Rossa today says:
The Armenian provinces of Asia Minor
seem to be in the same critical situation as
ten years ago. The recent events in the
Vllayet of Bitlfs evidently are connected
with the Mohammedan revolutionary
movement in the vilayet of Erzeroum. as
manifested in the disorders of October,
1906. which. though partly anti-dynasticaI,
were directed chiefly against the Armen-
ianS''
The situation of the Armenians. which
the RoSsia describes as 'unbearable" is
said to be steadily growing worse.
The Armenian vilayets are alleged to have
reached point where they must attract
general attention.
In conclusion, the Rossia says that the
recall of Ferid Bey the governor of Bitlis
whose rule wherever he has been sta
toned has been synonymous with oppres-
sion and bloodshed," is urgently neces-
sary.

TOUCHED THE BOOKIE
PICKPOCKETS GOT A ROLL OF
OVER $4,000.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, June 29.-Peter Worth, a
bookmaker of 2176 West It'll street, Graves
end, lost $3.50 on the Brooklyn bridge in
the rush between II and / O'Clock yester-
Gay evening. He was in a hurry to get to
the Sheepshead Bay track and bolted into
the crowd at the Manhattan terminal. He
felt himself jostled several times, and al
ways as he thought, by the same man. At
first he paid no particular attention to this.
believing that it was due to the crowd and
that the other fellow could not hep IT, Sud
denly he thought of his roll of $780, which
he had put in the left pocket of his coat
He put his hand to the pocket The roll was
gone.
Naturally he recalled the jostler and con-
cluded that he was a pickpocket and had
touched him. He told Patroman Michael
j. Regain of the bridge police precinct about
it and pointed out welI-dressed man whom
he suspected. This man jumped on the first
train bound for Brooklyn. Patrolman Regain
and Worth got in the same car. At the
Brooklyn terminal Regain asked the suspect
ed man to accompany him to the station
house at Washington and Nassau streets
The man said that he was in hurry to
Keep an engagement. Then the patrolman
said 1t was case of must.
The man walked to the station, where the
matter was explained to the lieutenant at
the desk. When the man was searched only
few dollars were found in his pockets.
Worth insisted that the fellow knew all
about his loss, and again told of the manner
in which he had been jostled
The prisoner then said he was George
toward thirty-four years old of PAT
henry street, Manhattan, and d stenog-
rapher. He said that Worth would be
sorry for making such serious charge
against him, as he would be able to
prove he was innocent Then Howard
was taken to Mulberry street, and Capt.
McCanerty of the detective bureau had a
talk with him.
After that Howard lost nerve The DO
lice say they identified him rs Jacob
Steiner. alias Benjamin Holland. alias
McGovern, alias Barnes, and that his
lery.
The record as shown on the police
cards is that Steiner was sentenced on
April 4, 1901, to four years imprison-
ment In Sing Sing by Recorder Golf for
grand larceny. Steiner was sent to prison
for five years in Charlestown, Mass, on
March 20, 1895. for grand larceny. and in
1879 was committed to Elmira for a SIM
liar charge: The fact that he did not
nave any part or the S6,3o0 with him
when arrested, the police say, could be
easily accounted for by the fact that
pickpockets of the class of Steiner usu-
ally work with a confederate It is be-
neVed that In this case the confederate
got away with the money at the time. or
the confederate may have done the Job
while Howard or Steiner. did the Jostling
and was not as quick in making his es-
cape as the other man. After the de-
tectives had taken a look at Howard he
was locked up in the Oak street station
and will be arraigned in the Tombs to-
morrow morning.
Worth says he had another and larger
roll in another pocket and is glad thieves
didn't get that.

employe was a man named Tigg, whose
service had extended over tifty-one and a
