THE PETROGRAD RUMPUS.
MINISTER FORCIBLY HELD.
(Eeuter Cable.)
PETBOGBAD, July 19,
During disturbances armed troops and workmen arrested the Minister of Agriculture, and did not release him until he listened to a speech by a leading Maximalist.
After meeting the Soldiers and Peasants' Committee the announcement was made that the Pan-Bussian Congress would consider the transfer of the whole governing powers to the Soldiers and Workmen's Committee. The congress will be held in a fortnight hence at Moscow, in order to prevent interference by irresponsible parties and by the Petrograd garrison. Subsequently an extraordinary Cabinet Council discussed the transfer of the seat of the Provisional Government to Moscow. The Kronstadt mutineers remain in Petrograd, but there are evidences that they are becoming disillusioned as to the .prospects of their coup d'etat.
