Two messengers who arrived her from Rlaa todav. having att,j nH,.ut 1 m mil.. to catch a train at Plock. hot only confirm the report that provisional government has been set up In Livonia, bit they say that many of the troops have gone over to the Insurrectionists. Dwina, fort, commanding Riga harbor, la In their possession add the governor and other Russian officials are prisoners. The messengers added that the provisional gov ernment exercises , authority throughout Livonia ,and part rf Cottrtland; that the government haa declared the separation of the Lithuanian people from the Russian empire. They have chosen new local offi cials and have decreed the closing of the spirit shops and breweries snd the annul ment of the contracts between the peasants and the land owners. There in a general uprising of the native peasants who are traveling In armed bands, attacking the estates and driving off or killing their owners. .

The position of the peasants In thesa provinces has been the most deplorable of any In the entire empire. Condltlona al most approaching those of the feudal sys tem have been continued down to the present time. They practically have kept the peasants In a. state of vassalage, pla cing them at the mercy of the German burons from whom they rent land and pur chase the right to cut wood, and fish in the waters of the gulf. . Rnsslnn Officials Expelled. The Russian officials are being expelled from tho provinces and many of them have been killed in the streets of tho towns. There is a reign of terror at Riga. Women and children are living lh the upper stories of houseae and foreign merchants are wind ing up their business or abandoning every thing to escape. ' It is doubtful Whether the promise of local slf government' contained in to days imperial ukaso will have much ef fect, at least for tho present, but it fur nishes ample proof that the government realizes it is helpless to restore order without granting heavy concessions. The partial concessions granted to tho people of tho Baltic provinces are bound to en courage the Poles, Georgians and other border peoples. Little Is known of General Sollogub, who. It is reported, will be appointed governor general of the Baltic provinces, but he Is aald to be a man of' energy with fairly liberal ldnas. Bourse Again Weakens.

PETERSBURG, Dec. 12.-Morning.-Vla Eydkuhnen, East Prussia, - Dec. 13. The restoration of cable communication with points abroad yesterday lasted only a few hours.'' Before midnight It was re ported that the cable was cut and that dispatches must again be forwarded by courier via the German frontier. Never theless, the outlook is clearing. The gov ernment Is breathing freer, with a fighting chance that Premier Wltte will yet be abl' to oteer tils way through the rocks which beset his path. The threat of a general strike In the Immediate future has dis appeared and the telegraph strike not be ing supported. Is going to pices tn spite of RIGHT NOURISHMENT. We think of nourishment as food meats, soups, vege tables, etc., but that's only half. It's not the food alone that counts but the good that we get from food that furnishes nourishment. 'A pound of steak is of less value to a weak stomach t,han a crust of bread is', to a strong digestion. But weak stomachs can be made strong. Begin by eat ing less;' have regular hours for meals;' avoid fancy things and about a half hour after eating take a tablespoonful of Scott's Emulsion. It's a fact of medical history that people have lived on not much else but Scott's Emulsion for a long time not only lived but gained flesh and recovered their strength and health. From the, pure Norwegian cod liver oil to the last drop of glycerine, Scott's Emulsion contains just the strength giving and 'health-building elements needed for low vital ity, weak digestion and poorly nourished bodies. COTT KWN, o, rtstl St New York. the wild appeals of the union to stand firm. At Moscow the tie up remains com plete, hut at many other places commun!ea Hon has been reopened, although in a pre carious fashion, as the employes of both the telegraph and postal services, who .were discharged by wholesale for refusing fo work, are cutting lh? wires wherever It Is possible to do so. The real leaders of the workmen and other proletariat organisations, realising fully their weakness and lack of preparation for a decisive struggle, have carried the day over the hot-headed strikers, and have easily convinced tho majority that It would be an irretrievable blunder to prostitute what they regard as the supreme Instru ment for forging a free nation by using It for a minor Issue like redressing the griev ances of private Individuals. In registering I this decision they placed themselves on I record "to continue the organisation ond equipment or tue nglhlng legions which tho Old president. Kruslaleff. began," thus virtually furnishing the government with evidence confirming Its charges that arti cles 102 and 126 of the criminal code, pro- hlbltlng participation in associations, the object for which Is armed revolt, and the punishment for which Is death, is violated by the strikers' head organisation. So "Martyrdom" for Prisoner. It is likely, however, that the government to discount attempts to hernise M. Krusta leff, will simply charge him with the mis appropriation of the funds of the workmen In using them In founding a socialist paper, which the government claims can bo sub- stantlated. The workmen's council yesterday sent a demand tn Pnimt Wlti. for h .U ,.r oemand to Count Wltte for the release of M. Krustaleff. Later the workmen's dele- gatea called on Procurator Kamlnshansky and demanded his release, but the pro- curator refused bluntly, saying that the case must tie tried In court. To this the Spokesmen of the delegation replied: men we will declare a general strike. "I will not release him If the whole world strikes." answered the procurator. M. Krustaleff is understood to be impris oned In the St. Teter and St. Paul fort ress, In order, it is explained, to prevent any possible attempt at rescue, which would only lead to bloodshed. This disappearance of the danger of a general strike seems to Insure the govern ment a certain period In which to vindi cate Itself and demonstrate that it Is striv ing to rc tlize the new order cf th'n and If, as Its friends hope. It will be able to show this by deeds, it will cut away public sym pathy from the proletariat and place the and that the company regarded it neces workmen's organizations, when the time sary to hold large funds to meet possible comes for a strike, in the attitude of delib- heavy demands. erately provoking a struggle to overthrow the government and establish a democratic ness figures which Mr. Hughes said showed republic. j that the Prudential wrote In the last five K Reaetlon In Cabinet.

"If the government really enters on the path of reaction," said one of the ministers today, "it must end In a dictatorship, and you may be sure that at the first evidence this Witte will step down and out." Count Witte takes the ground that the ministry is only a stop gap to transfer the power into the hands of the national assem bly and, therefore, he will not undertake to bind the country by temporary laws or a policy which the representatives, of the nation should decide for themselves. This Is the theory on which complete universal suffrage will be refused. Sailors Offer Help. M.

The commission which is discussing peas ant legislation lias reached an exceedingly Important decision, Involving the right of the -communes to assign lands tn severalty to Individuals, which would give them the right to sell the lands at will, thus vir tually sounding tho knell of the communal system. Where the peasants desire to re tain the commune, however, they may mortgnge the lands and obtain money to purchase additional lands, muke Improve ments, and buy agricultural Implements. This decision Is bused on the fact that the emperor's remission of further pay ments of the peasants' arrearage of debt ended the necessity for communal owner- ship, which In reality waa a device to I10M the entire community responsible for tht redemption of land granted when serfdom was abolished.
