Today's developments show that ths
activity of the troops has passed to the
point of butchery. " The worst feature of
this Is that It came at a time when the
backbone of- the - rebellion ' seemed
broken. It Is this which has so aroused
the people. Messages from a score of
towns which were bombarded brought
the same tale Oi how women and chil
dren had been killed, fighting side by
side with their husbands, brothers and
sweethearts against the troops.
At Caneschtl there was a virtual mas
sacra An outbreak there called the
troops, to the town. By the tuna they
arrived the ringleaders had disappeared.
Hundreds of peasants threw themselves1
on their knees,as ths soldiers fell Into
Una begging for their Uvea Unmoved
by their prayers, the commander made
deliberate preparations to fire on ths
helpless creatures. Then the women,
many of them with children tugging
at their skirts, rushed to the front to
shield the men. When the ' volley
cleared there were scores of women and
children mingled with the dead. All
who had escaped death or wounds rose
and fled In a panic. ... , ...... ,

The peasants secured revenge for this
act at Ghlmpatil. When a squad of
hussars arrived there the rioters , met
them with cheers. This deceived the
commander and he ordered the troops
to dismount When their arms had been
stacked, the peasants fell en the sol
diers and massacred half of them. In
stances similar to this have been re
ported from r scores ef ' towns. They
show that the whole country Is em
broiled. A dosen towns have been wiped
out by the bombardments, but this ter
rible punishment has only lnoensed
greater disorders.

a week of the most nerve racking work
In which the members of the "Kvery

allotted- to the solicitors to raise the
amount - It was not raised. The whys
and wherefores need not be entered into.

which started soon after the holidays.

: EARLY DISSOLUTION
(Hearst Newe by tensest Leased Wire.)
St Petersburg, March 10. An early
dissolution of the do'uma appears to be
forecasted by the action of the council
of ministers, who decided at today's
meeting In the Winter palace not to
attempt cooperation with the anuma.
In faot a rumor prevails in military
circles that dissolution Is certain to
occur within the next two weeks.
" This ' attitude of the government is
believed to be, due to the action of the
Social Democratic leaders In persist

Premier Stolypln has shown ' a dispo

His enemies- say that Hughes has
lost control of the general assembly In

There Is the best of reason te believe
that he will choose the latter course

to make him a national figure,' for with
the presidential tlreworke being
touched off prematurely In Ohio, thoee
on the Inside are not unaware of the
fact that Hughes' presidential boom,
although not blossoming above ground,

It la said Hughes is thoroughly
aware that with the New Tork ma

knowledge has at no time tempted him
from his present course. On the other
