His threat of resignation has apparently hastened a' settlement of ; party bickerings and differences, especially as it was hacked by othor Ministerial resignations. Tko mystery about Genoral Gourko is cleared up by the. explanation that ho has been arrestod for maintaining a furtive allegiance to the old regime. Korniloff has come down with a stern and inflexible hand on those who were responsible for the recent debacle. One general—tho commander of the famous Guards regiments—has been tried by court-martial for disobedionce of orders to shoot deserters, and sentenced to death.
