Leniency of Government in Not
Quelling Uprising Helps To-
ward a Solution
NO DESIRE TO MAKE
MARTYRS OF REBELS
Apparent That New Regime Has
Loyalty Of People and Can
Put Down Opposition

Petrograd, July 19.-By an agree
ment between the soldiers and work
mems deputies and the remaining
members of the cabinet, the question
of replacing the retiring minister. as
we'll as all questions Of policy, has
been held in allegiance pending the
suppression of the Bolsheviki ele-
ment. which for S6 hours has kept
the city in a turmoil.
& Events since noon today serve
somewhat to clear up the anomalous
situation growing out, Of the appar-
ent reluctance of the government to
mobilize its forces to quell the turbu-
lent minority and radical element.
The government evidently considers
it unwise for the safety of the city
to oppose them with violent methods
until it is absolutely necessary
No Desire to Martyrize.
The government adopted the same
course to the socialist, Lenine, some
weeks ago, realizing that the move
ment had little sympathy with tho
majority of the population, and de-
cided it better not to martyrize the
Maxinalist faction, or to run the risk
of precipitating a serious clash with
the possibilities {of far-reaching con
sequences.
There is little doubt that the gov
ernment has enough loyal support to
suppress an uprising. There we're
all signs tonight that pressure would
be asserted. The Prebyjensky regi-
ment, which is known to be faithful
to the government, made its appear
ance on the streets, and though no
clash occurred, it stood IN readiness
if necessary to fight. AS 1t rode about
the streets, there was no doubt in the
minds of the people that it was evil
dent that the nti-governmental dem
onstration took more serious turn.
The regiment was cheered as it pass
ed.

ivisk, but in no case were the sol
diers molestedi by them. ~
A letter from General BrussilOf,
