NEW ERA OF UNCOMPRO
MISING REPRESSION.
INTRIGUES AT COURT.
LONDON, July 22.
It is understood that m dissolving the
Duma the Czar accepted the advice of the
venerable M. Pobiedonostzeff (exProcura
tor of the Holy Syaod), Prince Putiakin,
and M. Stolypm (Minister of the Interior).
M. Goremykin is said to have opposed the
idea, and to have recommended the C^ar
to try to arrive at some sort of an agree
ment with the people's representatives
M. Stolypin refused to accept the Pre
miership unless the garrison of St. Peters
burg were immensely reinforced and the
city placed in a condition of extraordinary
defence, and subjected to n temporary ad
ministration equivalent to martial law.
The Czar agreed to this course, and fresh
troops were promptly poured into the
capital from various districts.
M. Goremykin voluntarily resigned the
Premiership, and M. Stolypin energetically
took up the duties of the office. He is
said to manifest liberal tendencies; but he
is of a very determined nature, and means
to iuflk-t a sharp lesson on the revolu
tionist?.
An era of uncompromising repression has
begun. Numerous arrests have been made
M persons suspected of disloyalty to the
throne, and the police are busy visiting
the homes of reformers and examining all
the private papers and literature they can
iind in them.
