Return to Capital
A majority of the members of tho
douma will return to the city tonight
since their purpose of assembling in
Finland has been thwarted. They
will not be molested by the police, ex
cept a few whom the police have been
directed to arrest upon the charge of

openly declare their willingness to die

To Crush Revolution
St. Petersburg. July 25 — Premier
Stolypin wired today to governors ami
prefects through Russia and to the
viceroys on the Caucasus to strike de
cisively at every movement in the
direction of insurrection and to spare
no effort to crush the enemies of
society, but to preserve order at any
cost.
That the program will be war to the
knife and knife to the hilt with the
revolutionists is shown by the whole
sale arrests, not only of persons known
to be revolutionists but of leading
socialists and educated liberals. Mem
bers of the landed classes and constitu
tional democrats are included in orders
of the most oppressive character which
render them liable to imprisonment
for the slightest infringement. All
generals of the army have been sum
moned to Peterhof to receive personal
instructions.
Suppress Opposition
All democratic clubs have been
closed by government order and all
radical newspapers have been sus
pended and the press censor refuses to
allow any accounts of disorders to be
published. Half the members of par
liament have returned to this city
from Viborg and have arranged with
the active revolutionists to print and
distribute the parliamentary address
through underground revolutionary
channels. Hundreds of thousands of
copies have already been surreptitious
ly printed and are now in ouiet circu
lation in the city and country. This
means that parliament is now in open
alliance with the revolutionaries.
It is expected that the lirst outbreak
will be in tin* south. No orders for a
general strike will issue from the re
volutionary leaders in St. Petersburg
until news reaches tlie capital that
disaffection through the country is
well organized.
Post Death Notices
Twenty notices that sentenco of
death had been passed upon the czar
by the revolutionaries were posted up
on the walls of the imperial palace
last night. It was the work of terror
ists and must have been done by con
nivance of the guards, or possibly by
traitors in their ranks.
Cossacks Slaughter Jews
Odessa, July 25—Drunken Cossacks
started a massacre of Jews here last
night and more than 100 Jews were
killed. Infantry are arriving to dis
place the Cossacks and place the latter
under arrest. The Hebrew residents
are in a panic and are locking them
selves in their houses.
Make Wholesale Arrests
Moscow. July 26—The government
last night arrested nine revolutionists
who were known to have taken part
in the recent insurrection here and
with them captured revolutionary
documents which give the names of all
the leaders in the movement. Later
190 were arrested and only eight of the
list escaped to the country.
Goes to Black Sea
St. Petersburg, July 26—The czar
today directed Admiral Skrydloff to
proceed at once to Sevastopol to take
command of the Black sea fleet and
restore order there. Skrydloff is in
structed to investigate the cases of
sailors arrested and release all who
may be illegally held. He is also in
structed to hold a court martial re
view and punish any officers who may
have been guilty of misconduct which
has tended to incite mutiny. It is
hoped by this means to restore con
fidence and loyalty among the enlisted
men of the navy.
It is thought probable now that the
general strike of workingmen will be
postponed until after harvest, as the
revolutionists will then be in a better
condition to force the struggle.
Take Arms from Jews
Odessa, July 26—Troops are confis
cating the arms of Jews today but no
others. This course leaves the Jews
without means of self-defense and ren
ders them helpless in case of a new
outbreak against them. Hundreds of
Americans are collecting at revolu
tionary headquarters here with the in
tention of taking part in the expected
struggle. _
Offer Irish Sympathy
Dublin, July 'JO Klevon Dublin
councilmen signed a telegram Monday
to the Russian douma at Viborg, Fin
land, giving the members assurance of
their sympathy. The council was
threatened with dissolution by the
! British government and at the meeting
j last night councilmen said they were
1 threatened for upholding the rights of
: tiie Russian people against the bu
, reaucracy. There were cries of “Long
I live the douma!’’ and “Down with the
j British czar!”
