Fol-R.A., forwards. lowing the declaration by the workingmen of a general strike to reinforce the railway strike which has paralyzed the industry of the country,, rioting and street fighting kept St. Petersburg in a state of tartible unrest all last night. What makes the situation seam hopeless is that the crisis, apparently, is not yet reached.

Count Witte, according to information from Peterhof, will hold an office equivalent to that of regent during the absence of the emperor, and will hold full powers as head of the govern. ment,"

A meeting of the council of ministers was held last night under the presidency of Count 35,556,57 Witte to discuss the strike situation and the danger which threatens the empire unless the movement can be checked,

5:47945

No attempt was made to disguise the fact that the government fares a crisis, and that only judicial concessions to the strikers and the people generally can have any effect in bringing order out of the present chaos,

Since this warning was ullered the situation has grown immeasurably worse. Thousands of additional men are on the streets, where they became the prey of agitators who try to inchie them to deeds of violence. If there was danger in the situation then and the stability of the Romanoff Dynasty was threatened at that time, then it may be stated that ibis dan. ger has increased tenfold to-day and with It the chances of the Tsar losing his throne have grown greater. ́..
