WHERE DANGER LURKS The (Joveriinient Has Made a Fatal Mistake WlH'ii Plot of Kovolii Itionlsts Is Complete It Will Ho Too Late to Chock It Allegations of Safrty I'liuim-niilcd. (Py the Associated rrcss.) St. . Petersburg, July". 26. The government is using' every -means at its disposal to create 'tho impression both at homo and .abroad that the crisis has been successfully passed and that the probniblity of r. general -'upheaval has disappeared. The semi-official press is filled with comforting assutances that the government now lias a firm hold of the situation and that the confusion and demoralization in the counsels of the opposition political organiza tions, produced by the coup d'etat, render united action impossible. . '.-.. .Moreover, t lie official reports' seek -. to create the impression that there has been littii response among the masses to the plan for a general Strike as a preliminary to a universal uprising. .-'..-Tin (Jovernmenl's Mistake. It is quite apparent to disinterest ed observers of tho situation that till government in entering on its pres ent policy made a. perhaps fatal blunder in taking the hardihood to arrest tho members of the outlawed parliament. : " In its desire to "save its face" it feared to go further than ..prohibit ing" tho publication of the address of parliament to the country and pro venting tho members from giving public accounts of their stewardship to their constituents. Rut this de cision only left the members of par liament personally free to conduct a '.'conspiracy against the life of thy government. When tho plot is complete and the n'ignal has gone forth arrests will be useless and t lie '-.government will j .main find that it acted too late in i closing the political clubs which has been followed by tho closing of all .'.the workmen's unions and suspected . tea houses. The; prefect of police has issued another . proclamation warning the population that persons guilty of armed resistance to the-authorities or police or of attempts to commit political crimes will lie given over to the tender mercies of military courts martial, while lesser offenses like ''participation.' in the formation of leagues, '-"'incitement to slrkes, etc., will bo punishable, administratively without trial, by a fine of $ 1 ,r.00 and imprisonment of from 3 to 6 months. The reports from the provinces indicate that tho authorities do not fear to employ harsher measures than used at the capital. The edi tors ot confiscated newspapers are compelled to give hostages as -guarantees? against, attempts at illegal publlba'tions; - - V Order To Prevent Meetings. Paris, July 2C Tho Temps' cor respondent at St. Petersburg tele graphs that the provisional gover nors have been ordered to prevent nil meetings of members of the eon sUltiitlonal democratic party and of members of the group of toll who belonged to the outlawed parliament, employing the military, in case of ne cessity, to disperse such meetings.

Kagsdale of Fuquay Springs in a scathing speech criticised the organization for the fact that J. M. Sharp, who was elected treasurer for the state organization,' had never ijualilied by giving the bond required and there seemed to be no available slate fipids for any purpose.

The asso ciation adjourned . w ithout taking any 'action us to any matter, but with the undi rstanding that steps will be taken at once to have a state treasurer duly qualified niid bonded so that more ef- feel i vi work caii be put on foot.
