THE CHICAGO STORE On Greeting Loyal Deputation the Czar Ap. pears on Verge of Tears. GENEVA, Feb. 20 Russia is facing a revolution of greut magnitude, and the uprising may come at any moment. .At the headquarters of the central revolutionary Russian uommittce this evening it was stated that reliable advices received from St. Petersburg show that everything is now in readinese for n far reaching revolutionary movement. The men who have pre pared the ground have left nothing undone to add to the general feeling of unrest within the country, and have seized on the defeat of Russian naval forces in the Far East as a pretext f their ugit.ition. At the word of a fresh Russian reveree, the trouble is to be begun with demonstrations against the government in all of the principal cities of the empire. The revolutionists are declared o be well urmed and equipped and to have a' well nigh perfect rganissation and that numbered in the rankB are .some of the best known persons in Russia.
