ON THE TO Of REVQLUIION
New Premier hopes to cneck outbreak by energetic
repressive measures but revolutionists plan opera
tions which they expect to engulf the empire?
Another slaughter of Jews
I
(Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan.)
St. Petersburg, July 24.? The new
premier StoIypiL has wired the gover
uors and prefects throughout Russia,
as well as the vice roy of the Caucassus
to prepare to 9trike and to spare no
efforts to crush the enemies of society;
to preserve order at all cost.
It is plainly the purpose of the gov
ernment to make conclusive wr.r upon
the revolutionists as shown by the
wholsale arrests not only of theout-and
out revolutionists but the socialists, the j
educated liberals and landed classes .
allied with the constitutional demo
cratic party. Orders are being issued j
of the most oppressive character. The
leading generals of the army are being j
summoned to Peterhoif. All democratic
clubs are by positive orders closed. The
censor is in full charge of all news serv
ice and refuses to allow reports of dis
orders to be sent out, All the radical
newspapers are suspended. Half the
number of the members of parliament
havo returned from Viborg, Finland.
Police were at the station in large /
numbers for the purpose of checking
any demonstration being made at ;the
time of their departure.
Before leaving Viborg the parliament
had some hundreds of thousands of
copies of the address to the neople
printed and completed arrangements
for circulating them throughout
Russia. This will be done through
underground revolutionary channels.
This means that parliament' has form
ed a direct alliance with the revolution
ists. It is expected that the trouble
will first break out in the south. The
plan as indicated, is that no orders for
a general strike will be issued in St.
Petersburg until the disaffection has
reached the capital in its progress from
the south.
Drnnkeii Cossacks at it Again
Odessa, July 25. Another fearful
massacre of Jews is underway here.
Over a hundred Jews have been killed
to this time. The slaughter is the
work of drunken Cossacks, begun by
them without other provocation than a
wanton lust for blood. The homes of
the Jews were invaded and murders
and ou.'rages committed of the most
horrible character. The Jews are
suffering extreme panic. All found on
the street are killed on sight and they
have left the city or otherwise gone
into hiding.
A force of infaptry is arriving under
orders to arreet the Cossacks.
i'error.st* Sentence Czar
St. Petersburg, July 25. ? Twenty
notices have been found posted against
the walls of the Imperial palace giving
warning to the czar that he has been
sentenced to death by the inner circle
of the the terrorists. It is an open
question with the authorities whether
the terrorists eluded the guards in nail
ing the notices to '.he wall or whether
the gaurds themselves are traitors.
[Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan] j
San Francisco, July 25 ? Ten thous- ,
and earn loaded with freight of every j
conceivable character are blocking the j
yards here and it has been found neces- I
sary to order a suspension of shipments

result of orders piled up bv merchants
of San Francisco after the fire. The
wholesalers in the east have been;
prompt to fill the orders ami the cars j
have been arriving daily in long ^ trains 1
But the merchants of the city have
found it itni>ossible to tret buildings up <
ami id shape to receive and store the [ i
joods. and the result is this immense
blockade, the yards full of loaded cars,
rhe company has run short of both
empties anil track room and it became
necessary to stop shipments.
