REVOLUTIONISTS WHO
ARE EXTREME RADICALS
To Abolish the Russian Autocracy
by Violent Measures If Necessary
Is Encouraged by Growing Spirit of
Discontent In the Army and Among
the Liberal Aristocrats,
New York. Sopt. 4. The now rev
olutlonary party formed in RiiBsia,
entitled tho Russian Socialist Rovoiu
tionary Purty, which differs from the
Russian Social Democratic party, in
being less doctrinaire and moro vio
lent in tactics, Is described by tho
London correspondent of tho Timoi,
In a dispatch which declares that
tho new organization has revived
something of the terrorism which
shocked Russian society 10 years
ago. There Is a third party, tho Rus-
sian Revolutionary party. All thrco
agree as to the necessity of abolish
lug tho existing autocracy.
Tim now party alms at arousing
tho heart of Russia, reaching tho
peasants not nffectod by previous ef
forts. Tho dispatch assorts that
Blnco April. l'J02. a "fighting organl
zation" has been created as a wing
of tho revolutionary party in order to
meet force with forco and torror with
terror.
Tho especial significance of this
movement can only ho understood by
taking other facts Into consideration,
such as thu reaction m military and
high aristocratic circles In Russia
against tho time-honored, hoary'
headed, ancient system of brutal op
proHslon and suppression of all liber
alism. Tho resignation from tho army
of Marshal DragomlrolT, tho czar's
favorite aide do camp, for tho avow-
ed reason that ho will not longer
countenance "the employment of tho
army for tho massacre of political
malcontents" has a vast Import to
thinking people of all classes in Russia.
