ST. PETERSBURG. June H.
The dissolution of the second douma
has been received throughout st. Pc
tersburg with perfect tranquility,
thanks to the precautionary meas
ures, and in no place in Russia, so
far as is known. were there any Sc
rious disturbances.
Demonstrations among st. Peters,
burg workmen are anticipated to-
day, but the authorities are not
alarmed. They profess to be chiefly
apprehensive over the possibility of
rioting and racial excesses in Odessa
and in Kiev and other cities where
party feeling runs high An out
break of agrarian disorders in sew
eral regions of the empire is an
ticipated later when the peasantry
learn of the dissolution, but a spirit
of quiet, confident ability of the gov
ernment to handle the situation pre-
walls in administrative circles.
News of the dissolution reached
the st. Petersburg papers too late
for their last editions, but the public
was quickly informed through ex-
tras and posters sent out by the po-
lice at all street corners, containing
the ukase announcing the dissolution
and the imperial manifesto.
Little knots of readers clustered
arond these the whole day, atten-
lively perusing the manifestto, the
phrasing of which was calculated to
appeal to the patriotism of the lower
classes. Little enthusiasm or excite
ment, however, was evoked, and
many of the readers as they turned
away spat silently on the ground as
sign of their deepest contempt.
Although General Dracheffsky,
prefect of police, was nominally in
charge, the provisions for public
safety were virtually in the hands of
General Hazenkampf, aide to Grand
Duke Nicholas Nicholaevitch, who re-
turned from Krasnoye-Selo to as
sumo command of the combined gar
rison, including the guard corps, the
Thirty-seventh Infantry division, a
large force of cavalry and Cossacks
and several machine gun detach-
ments. The military was chiefly dis
posed in the industrial section, but
strong force occupied the Tauride
palace vicinity. A portion of the
Tsarskoe regiment garrisoned the
palace, while squads of cuirrassierS
were stationed in the courtyards of
adjoining buildings. Nobody, not
even douma officials, was allowed to
enter the precincts of the palace. A
laconic notice was posted on the
gates announcing that former depu-
ties would receive their papers upon
application to the chancellory. Re-
ports were in circulation during the
day that the workmen were planning
great demonstration, but they did
not appear. The officer iE command
of troops informed the Associated
Press that the orders were to dis
perse the crowd without parley, and
not to spare bullets in case of neces-
sity.
During the night nine of the six
specifically named in the government
indictment, including Prince TIER
tzerteli and M. Dzhaparidgo, we're
taken into custody. The other seven
succeeded in eluding the elaborate
provisions made for their arrest.
Two secret service officers with sign
ed warrants had been assigned to fol-
low the deputies and to serve them.
They were instructed to follow their
men to the frontier If necessary, but
the deputies succeeded in making
their escape. Among those who have
not yet been arrested are M. Ozel,
the report of whose character was
unfounded, and M. Alexinsky, who
has not returned to Russia.
