A desputch train St. Petersburg says: TI►e pq)Itical barometer is again fulling. The confusion which seems to have taken possession of the upper spheres elute the efforts to form a coalition Min- istry failed, coupled with the alarming r•cpui•ts front the iutettior and tie atti- tude of Parliament, make almost any- thing possible. There Inas been a mark- ed renewal of apprehension that the crisis may end in a coup d'etut against Parliament. The aesussunlions of Vice Admiral Clime:ten and General Kuzloft, the discovery that behind the murder of the General wus a big plot to kill not only Gauerul Trepuff, but Prince Puliatin and other courtiers, and the general ept- delete of assassination, which has ter- rorized nut only the local autuorities, but ex en the police, together with the wild destruction of property by (ho peas- antry in half a dozen provinces during the last few days, have ngain strength- ened the small part of the court which believes in restoring to "extrema mea- sures." The adoption by the lower !louse of Parliament of i'n address to the country will, it la feared, place in the hands of the reactlonists the needed lever to move his Majesty. M. l'elrajit- ski vainly warned the lower House en 'Tuesday of the seriousness of (ho pro- posed step, but the majority of the Con- stitutional Democrats, of which party he b a prominent member, seem to be con- vinced that they must hold the peasants at all hazards. The members of the ex- treme left seemed to court a fight, preaching open revolution from the ros- trum. The Novoo \'remya, which often reflects the views of the court, says that the adoption by the lower House of an address to the country would go beyond the jurisdiction of Parliament, and vir- tually constitute an appeal from the Gov eminent to the people. The paper adds: "With its adoption Parliament would cross the Rubicon, abandon its professed policy of trying to restrain the country, and instead of pacifying it, deliberately pour oil on the flames." BAD NEWS FROM INTERIOR. Despatches from the interior continue to tell without interruption stories of the burning of manor houses, robberies, murders, collisions between peasants and rural guards. and the hurried de- spatch of troops here and there. Tho centre of the peasants' uprising is Vor- onezh Province, where the peasants in their mania for the destruction of pro- perty do not discriminate between friends and enemies, as evidenced by the com- plete devastation of the estate of M. Kokoehkine, one of the moat prominent Constitutional Democrats in the lower Clouse. Wednesday's reports describe the situation in that province as "hope- less," from the standpoint of the land- lords. The situation is almost as bad In Poltava and Smolensk Provinces. In Tambov Province elgthy. peasants are reported to have been killed or wound- ed by dragoons. THREATENED COL. MINN. A despatch from St. Petersburg says: it is reported that some of the soldiers of the Sominovsky guard regiment have served notice on their commander, Col- onel Minn, that they intend to kill hint at the first opportunity for forcing them to murder their fellow -citizens during the Moscow revolt, and that Minn, In fear of his life, fled from the camp at Krarisnoyeslo. KOZLOFI S ASSASSIN. Many hundreds of the peasants were killed and wounded, but the horde stubbornly refused to retreat. The ap- proach of masses of peasants by roads made the poeition of the ti untenable, and they retreated, lei the estates defenceless.

A desputch from Montreal says : it is seldom that a steamship company honors a ticket issued more than 30 years ago, and yet a case of this kind has Just occurred. In May, 1875, when the Montreal Ocean Steamship Com- pany, from which tho Allan Llno was evolved, held sway, a Miss Robertson, of Glasgow, purchased a ticket from Glasgow to Quebec, with the intention of crossing the Atlantic. Circumstances arose, however, which prevented her coming, but she retained the ticket. Some weeks ago she conceived the Idea of takJng the trip, and, having the ticket in her possession, she had it forwattded to the Messrs. Allan, by whom it has been honored, and wtto havo Issued another ticket in its stead. The old ticket is regarded as a great curiosity. KING MAY Yk:T VISIT DOMINION. Times Does Not Think the Obstacles are Insurmountable. A despatch from London says: Com- menting on the genuine regret occasion- ed by the Kings decision not to visit Canada, the Times says that the answer being in the negative is in no sense due to a 1pck of Interest on the part of the Sovereign In the welfare of the great Dominion, which has Made such mar- vellous strides since the days when Ste visited is as Prince of Wales, nor from any want of appreciation of the spirit of affectionate loyalty in which the in- vention was conceived. The obstacles to the Canadian visit, indeed, are of so purely practical a nature that one may venture to express the hope that the ob- stacles which have proved too serious on this occasion may yet at some future date be surmounted. COIR STORAGE FOR FRUIT. Department of Agriculture to Extend the Present System. A despatch from Ottawa says: The Department of Agriculture proposes to extend its cold storage car service from dairy products to fruit. Several years ago the Government undertook to pay five dollars toward the cost of Icing each car and to carry butler or cheese. 'This produced a demand for cold storage cars. Cast summer an average of a hundred a day were used from July 1st to Sept. 13. 1t Is expected the fruit men will find the cool cars an advantage in marketing their goods. LADY CUCRZON DEAD.
