Owing to the fact that telegraph and
telephone service in Russia ia in a itate
of demoralisation the reports received
during the nigh were anythng but com
plete. The telegraphers went on a
strike yesterday morning and for seven
hours no word came from the Russian
capital
finally military telegraphers were
placed ia charge of the office and the
news that was aent out contains enough
detail to warrant the assumption that
an intensely critical moment ia at hand
in the affairs of Russia, and that it may
even now be too Ute to avert a strife
that will cause the shedding of rivers of
blood.
It needs but but a perusal of the dis
patches to show that the revolutioniats

movement obtained that feara are en
tertained as to the loyalty of the Im

London, Oct. 29. A correspondent of
the Daily Chronicle at St. Petersburg
sends the following:
i
The court is in revolt against the Em
peror who is vacillating between coun
sel to grant a Constitution with Count
Witte as Premier and the advice of the
reactionaries to proclaim a dictatorship
under General Count Ignatieff, a mem
ber of the CouncU of the Empire.
One of the most ominous facters in
the situation is the feeling among the
Finns. There are 4000 troops in Fin
land, the 6000 reservists aent there hav
ing been brought back because they de
veoped revolutionary tendencies.
Should the Fin revolt the Govern
ment could not reinforce the garrisons,
because every soldier is wanted here and
the navy is unreliable.
