imperial edict as soon as the lower

the appearance of an armed camp.
Throughout the night and today de-
tachments of infantry and cavalry have
been arriving and the industrial sec

troops. All railroad stations are watch
ed by secret police in order to prevent
escape Of the social democratic depu-
ties and revolutionary agirarOrs, among

begin as soon as parliament is dis
solved.

of the population that serious disorders
will follow the dissolution of parlia-
