to explain the character of tho move-1

alry The emissaries delivered Premier
Keronsky's order of the day, and the
advance of the cavalry stopped nt Duo
to await further Instructions.
Premier Kerenaky has sent inMi-uc
tlons by wlreli's telegraphy to all rail
road organization, requiring tho offi
cials to refuse to obey any order from
General Kornlloff, The premier has
received a telegram from the comman

Ataman, of tho Cossacks, has tele
graphed to Premier Kerensky threat-j
enlng that if he does not accede to
General Kornlloff demands, tho Cos
sacks will cut the Moscow railway,
thus Isolating Petrograd.
Today leader of tho Petrograd
council of deputies declared that the
provisional government's trump card
was that the railroad employes were
entirely on Its lde, and that obduracy
by General Kornlloff would result In a
general strike, depriving General Kor
nlloff of all supplies and of all means
of Imposing his will on the rest of Rus

Premier Kerensky is having difficul
ties within the capital from the ex
tremists on both side. Following thf
ultimatum of General Kornlloff, the
whole Russian cabinet resigned to give
Premier Kerensky tull liberty of ac
tion. All the ministers for the time
boing will remain in their offices.
The newspaper Ishvestlt announce
that tho Constitutional Democratic
nmllster relinquished their portfolio
on the ground that the Kornlloff affair
waa one for decision by the entire cab
inet and not by a directorate.
General Savonkoff ha taken over
the office of military governor of Pe
trograd In place of General Vasllkov-'

addressed a reassuring proclamation to
the population that all necessary meas
ure were being taken for the defense
o fthe fatherland and of freedom.
Regarding military prospects of the
revolt, it was stated to day that weeks
ago, General Kornlloff, declaring that
he desired to prevent military conges
tion, withdrew from tho capital troops
devoted to the provisional government,
but at the same time sent to Petrograd
various units which he considered cer

General Kornlloff had not had time
to remove all governmental troops, It
appears, and the superiority of the
forces in Petrorcrad is believed to be

Argentina also has asked the Ger
