UNREST IN RDSSIA.
'INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY HOPELESS.'
ACTIVE DEMANDS FOR REFORMS.
London. January 5.
The demand for Constitutional Represen
tative Government and other reforms in
Russia continues active and persistent,
and many more municipalities have pe
titioned for concessions. The people are
protesting vigorously against the brutality
displayed by the St. Petersburg police,
with whom house- portera are affiliated, in
tlie suppression of demonstrations in con
nection with the appeals for Governmental
changes.
On December 11 a communication signed
by 200 representatives of the Liberal, legal,
tind social reviews and newspapers, was
sent to L'Humanite, M. Jaures' Socialist
newspaper, in Paris. In it the writers em
phasized the hopelessness of expecting even
the most elementary guarantees of indi
vidual liberty fti Russia under the present
regime.
