DISTURBED RUSSIA.

Per Press Association.—Copyright. St. Petersburg, Juno IS. Russia is singularly indifferent over tne dissolution of the Domna. M. Purishkovitch created a great uproar in the Douma on Saturday by declaring that Social Democrats ought to bo sent to the scaffold. While a Russian torpedo boat was discharging a torpedo at Sevastopol one struck a cutter in which the Commander-In-Chief was cruising. Ho narrowly escaped drowning. Tiro officers of the torpedo boat have been arrested on a charge of attempted murder. $ Many social revolutionaries have fled from Russia to Sweden and some whoso arrest M. Stolypiu demanded attended the recent democratic conference in Loudon. London, June 18.

The Daily News declares that the rumoured St. Petersburg plot is fiction and the real cause of the dissolution of the Houma was a fear of offending Germany by making concessions on the language question to Poland, for without thePoles’ support, which was withheld in view of bargaining, Government would bo unable to pass the budget. Finally German influence al Court decided M. Stolypin not to yield reasonable reform.
