About 2 o'clock Saturday af ternoon neveral companies of Coaaacks eUttered through tbe atreete. leading to tbe headquarters of the council. Hav ing barred the approach, a force of troops and police surrounded the build ing after which secret service men run bed in and seized Kniitalcff.

The fiepnblican Party Stands for the Homo. papers of the organisation, in which the police evidently expect to find evi dence proving the ultimate effect to be an armed uprising against the govern ment. A disturbance in which two strikers were killed and policeman and several others wounded, occurred at the same hour immediately in front of the gen eral poatofTtce.' Strikers for two day a have been seeking to pcmuiule volun teer and regular carriers to refuse to work. At the door of the build in to la y strikers enraged by Uie refusal of the , volunteers to quit work, drew knivev whereupon a. earrier attempted to defend himself with a revolver. Both the carrier and hW companion wd)t IN POSTOFFICE DISTURBANCES killed on the spot. A squad of police men were stood off by the strikers and workingmen who sympathized with them.

All tbe SocJalUt, labor and kindred organixaiiomi are avoiding meetkige tonight at which most inflam matory speeches art being made in de nunciation of the government and all are talking of a general strike in order to save their leader. Kruetaleff, aa he i railed, though that ia not hia name ia regarded as the brains of the revo lutionary movement Be has displayed a geniua for organising bofll Industrial and political strikes which have terror ised the government. His offer of fin ancial support to the telegrsphers yes terday prevented the collapue of their Htrike. In some quarters it is believ ed the government realizing that a great struggle with workmen and So cialUt organizations is inevtiable in January, arretted KruHtalcff with , in tention of deliberately precipitating matter by challenging the organiza tions before they were fully prepared. This show of strength slso gives credit to the report that the Douma election law will not be promulgated next week, but instead, energetic measures to re store order even if it be neceesary to declare martial law in various parts of th empire on the grminiU that it ia impoiwible to hold elections in tlie prea ent atate of the country. Many per 'ma believe Ojunt Witte'e fall ia immi nent atfil when he goes he will leave re action and revolution face to face. It ia again rumored that Uie Premier hoa already resigned and will be auc eeeIl by General Count Alexia Igna tieff.

The AaKicuted Press U unaJlu to obtain confirmation of anr of tbeae ru mor. On the contrary it learns from high sources that Witte's poaition, so for oa the Emperor is concerned ia per fectly secure and hi majesty ia giv ing him tbe wklel co-operation. Nev- ortlfjleas, tbe, Count's failure to ac- oompJixh something tangible has caued him to loae ground steadily in public opinion. Even Slovo tuifne aavagy of him, declaring he ia a failure and urging that it ia lmptible to retore public confidence until the power baa paawd into Uie hands of Douma, when Witte mut give way to a cabinet se lected by national amnibly.
