Il RADICAL PARLIAMENT
Russian Extreme Parties Have 10
Per Cent of House.

St Petersburg Feb. 21.-The tide Of Radical
success in the elections for parliament Contin-
ues unchecked. According 10 the latest returns
the Radicals are maintaining their lead with ~
per cent elected; the Liberals, including the con-
stitutional Democrats and the Conservatives.
have each about 25 per cent, and the remaining
10 per cent Of delegates are divided between
Nationalists and indefntes.
Al O'Clock this morning the returns showed
Sol delegates elected from ffty-six provinces
and cities. This number Is made up as follows:
Monarchists. a3: Octobrists and Moderates. IS;
Progressives 90, Cadets. 81: members of the
left. 40. NatIonaIsts, 40. and indehnites 8.
Among the left party are - members of the
Group of Toll. 81 Social Democrats and ii So
cial Revolutionists
At midnight last night NJ. MilUkoff. leader of
the Constitutional Democrats admitted that the
results indicated defeat for his party. The Con-
stitutlonal Democrats will have at the outside
a round hundred OF delegates. less than one
fifth of the total representation, and with the
recognition Of this fact there disappears the
last hope OF this party Of taking over the min
istry. The party, however, is strong in the
character OF its adherents. who represent the
only body Of intelligent political opinion which
IS committed to clear programme. The or
ganization of the Socialists, however. is equal
to that Of the Constitutional Democrats. and the
Radical tactics. although simple. will be hard TO
withstand.
The returns are characteristic of the gradual
advance of the population in political education
in the last twelve months Instead OF large
number of Deputies who have no party or are
unknown. and whose predictions are deter
mined only after the convocation Of the parties
being returned, the adherence OF practically
every Deputy is now sharply indicated.

OUTRAGES IN ODESSA.
Mutilation of a Jc5c - Governor
Takes Tardy 4lctiop.

odessa. Feb. 2o.-Street attacks by the Union
Of True Russians. rcactionary organization,
are daily assuming more dangerous cha-acter
and have brought about condition Of extreme
nervousness among the residents or this city
especially the Jews. Business has been ad-
Nersely affected the Produce Exchange has been
closed and financial transactions have been
practically suspended.
Gangs of roughs invade shops and restaurants
belonging to Jews, order the proprietors to throw
up their hands and then plundev and ransack
the premises. To-day a jew drew a revolver IN
eIf-defence. He was Immediately seized and
carried to q deserted courtyard, where his arms
and legs were cut off. Pedestrians are stopped
in broad daylight and asked whether they are
Jews or Christians. and sometimes they are
made To produce their passports. II they are
Jews they are brutally beaten.
l. is said that General Kauibars. the Governor
General Of Odessa. protects the union. designat-
ing its members as true patriots. As a result
the police make no effort to suppress the anti
Semitic disorders.
Representatives Of local educational fnstitu-
tions and Of commercial interests have repeat
edly made requests to Premier Stolypin for Off
cial intervention, but they have received nothing
more than evasive and unsatisfactory assur-
ances that the conditions referred TO will be
investigated.
The inha abitants Of the city have now come %
the conclusion 10 suspend business as sign Of
protest until the outrages are no longer toier-
ated by the authorities
The Governor General tonight was forced %
take action against the Union Of True Russians
although only 20 the extent % threatening the
members if the recent attacks upon citizens are
repeated. In decree promulgated tonight the
Governor says that almost all the authors Of
these outrages are youths belonging to the
union, eighteen Of whom have been sentenced to
three years imprisonment and evile.
Both the universities here and many of the
high schools have been closed.
This evening two sailors shot and killed Cap

TELEGRAPH TOLLS UP?
Higher Pay for Employees IikcIy
to Mean Rise an Rates.

Telegraph rates on ordinary messages will prob
ebly be increased by the Western Union and the
Postal companies a result Of the increase in
salaries granted by them and the general increase
In operating expenses. 1t reported yesterday
that the companies already had n contemplation
an increase Of FIVE cents ali ordinary messages,
but officers Of both companies denied that the ques
ton had been yet taken up by them
In the office Robert c. Clowry, president OF the
Western Union, this statement was made: This
company has taken such action"
William H. Baker. e-president and general
manager Of the Postal. said: This is soon to
talk about anything Of that kind We have taken
no action toward increasing the rates
It IS understood, however, tnat the question Of
raising rates for messages will be taken up by
both companies before long, The Western Union
recently Increased the sal2 ries OF Its operators 10
per cent in all large Offices. while the Postal an
nounced increase OF T. per cent in all its offices
yesterday.
This extra burden the companies. taken in
connection with other increases in operating
uenses has led the officials believe that raising
ordinary message rates will be necessary Some
time ago the companies increased the rates on
commercial messages. so that messages that form
erly went through for % cents now cost ~ cents.
