The Government has sent two reglments from St. Petersburg in répiy to the frantic appeals for rein- forcements, but it is considered too dan- gerous to deplete the garrison of the capital any further during the present crisls, and the Government ¢an only await the arrival of/the Cossacks and other troops, which are being hurried forward by General Linevitch from Man- churld. In the meantime the Govern- ment's fear 18 that the rebeillon, which is extending southward to the Polish frontier, may arouse the Poles to an armed- rising. Reliable detalls regarding the estal lishment of the so-called republic of Kharkoff have at last arrived. The Workmen's Soclalistic organizations, Joined by 300 troops, took possession of the city, and, with the aid of the militi armed with pistols and axes, established a Government, or “Federal Counell,” 'ax the executive committee was called. This counctl issued decrees, which the authori- tles were powerless (o resist. The coun- cll turned off the electricity from the houses, on the ground that it benefited only the rich, while allowing it to burn in the streets, where it benefited the peo- ple, and declared war on the thieves who previously had been terrorizing the city. When a robber was captured he was placed under a triphammer, with the threat that it would be dropped unless he revealed the whereabouts of the booty. This usually was effective in each case, and the recovered plunder was're- turned to its owners, TWo notorious rob- bers were hanged in the public square.
