GOVERNMENT NOW FEARS A REPETITION OF OUTBREAK OF NOVEMBER—ANARCHY AND LAWLESSNESS ARE RAPIDLY SPREADING THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY —THE GOV ERNMENT IS UNEASY. St. Petersburg, June 18.—The Constitutional Dem ocrats in the lower house seem almost ready to join the Revolutionists. The leaders of the Constitutional Dem ocrats are urging the necessity of keeping pace with the revolutionary movement lest they be overwhelmed and stranded. The bakeries remain closed today, as the strikers threaterl to wreck shops where attempts are made to bake bread. Little hardshi p has resulted so far. News from the interior sliows that the wave of strikes is spreading. The usual number of riotings are reported today, emphasizing the growing lawlessness and anarchy in the country. The government fears a repetition of the November mutiny at the Cronstadt fortress, where the sailors, ma rines and workmen are reported to be extremely turbu lent. Two regiments of infantry ,two batteries of artil lery and two machines gun batteries have been for warded in haste. The streets are filled with troops, and inhabitants are hurriedly leaving. Nothing Can Be Heard from Bialystok Today. St. Petersburg, June IS. — No fresh news has.been received from Bialystok, and none of the papers can get a word from the correspondents there.

The Country on the Verge of Another Upheaval. SOFT COAL MINERS IDLE SINCE APRIL RESUME WORK. 1 Kansas City, June 18.—A majority of the soft coal mines, which shut down April 1 in Missouri, Kansas, In dian Territory and Arkansas, resumed operations this morning as the result of the recent agreement between the operators and miners. A revolt Is threatened In the district of Indian Territory and Arkansas, and reporta from eight locals near Hartford, Ark., say that the strike may he continued. SENATE INSISTS ON AMENDMENTS. Washington, June 18. — The 3enate today decided to Insist on Its amend- ment to the naval appropriation bill and to ask for a further conference iiilH SL Petersburg, June 17.—The gen- eral situation Is hourly growing more disquieting, and the country seems to be on the verge of nnother gigantic upheaval. In St. Petersburg and Mos cow the populace is greatly excited, and nothing is talked of except a gen- eral political strike, which would bring the government to Its knees. The proletariat leaders, who have been preparing for months for a blow, believe the moment has come to strike. The agrarian troubles now are sufficiently extended and disorders In the army are rife. The government ha§ openly refused to accede to the demands of Parliament, and a rupture Is Imminent there. The ultimate plans of the leaders depend upon the success achieved, but if the government is brought down, it Is not doubted they are determined that they and not Parliament shall take over the reins of government and forever enjoy the fruits of victory. Are Really Political. Incipient strikes In St. Petersburg and Moscow with which the movement was started, while based ostensibly on economic grounds, really are purely political. The committee of the unem ployed Is only a revolutionary organi sation, last fall’s committee of work- men In disguise. The bakers of St. Petersburg and adjoining towns struck today, and only the black bread eaten by the poor was sold. The streets were filled with crowds of workmen. A correspondent of the Associated PreBs was stopped today In one of the suburban towns by a workman who demanded money without the slightest embarrassment. He announced that those who had money might as well divide It, as the workmen soon would be able to take what they wanted. Monster Meeting In Finland. A monster meeting of 16,000 Social Democrats and workmen held this af ternoon at Terloki, Finland, was ad dressed by several members of the "Group of Toll" of, parliament and ev ery revolutionary utterance was fran tically applauded. The government appears to be wait ing for the blow to fall before raising its hand, and It Is reported that the design of several ministers to raise the question of a more active policy during the cabinet meeting yesterday was apparently fruitless. Heavy pa trols have been placed in the streets, and the railroad stations are occupied by troops, but no action has been tak en to stop the agitation. The emperor Is reported to be spending most of his time playing tenniB at Feterhof. General Strike Expected. A general strike is expected to be Inaugurated on the Nicholas railroad between St. Petersburg and Mobcow, which was the only line out of Mos cow that was not affected during the uprising last December. The workmen In the shops of the Syzran & Vlamlrl railroad have struck, but apparently the demonstration Is premature. The Rech today again appeals to the em peror to try to save the situation by dismissing Premier Goremykin and placing members of parliament who enjoy a measure of public confidence, In control of the government. Admiral Blrelleff, commandant of the fortress at Cronstadt, has received a grim warning In the shape of a cof fin, which was delivered at his house.
