POLICE ARE POWERLESS.
In spite of the whol'• -ale arrests and
deportetion of revolutionists the big
centres' daily chronicle of murder and
robbery Is not appreciably diminishing.
The police seem to be utterly powerless
• to capture the criminals. They do not
make an arrest' In one case out of 25.
While the revolutionary opposition to
the Government hus thus degcnerattIL
into a canipaign of crime, the three
politicftl parties --Constitutional Demo-
crats, Octobrists and Regenerationists-
are drifting. The efforts to effect an
amalgamation have failed, and all the
leaders seem to bo greatly at sea as to
what tactics to pursue.
SITUATION DECIDEDLY GRAVE.
A despatch from ~amara, Russia,
says: The agrarian situation in this
province is most grave. Disorders are
prevalent in numerous districts. and
troops have been requisitioned to restore
order in three localities, where firing is
going on. Many men have been killed.
Tho peasants of the K'►lsoff estate, who
recently seized and occupied the land,
have returned the property to its own-
ers. A strike of factory hands has be-

Poltava Cossacks, who several days ago
at Tiflis formally dernunded to be re-
lieved from police duty, and asked 'or
the discharge of those who had served
over three years. The entire regiment
was disarmed and confined under guard

RAILWAY STRIKE ARRANGED.
A despatch from St. Petersburg says
At a meeting of one hundred and forty-
two delegates, representing all the
Russian railways, just concluded ;n

strike will bo feasible at a near date ani
to issue Instructions to prepare for it.
A committee was appointed to draw up
