Mistchenko, who is in excellent spirits and Is receiving visitors. Acccording to the official army organ the wounded number 3500. The cold is Intense, and the condition of the wdUnded causes the greatest anxiety, because the exposure of their Wounds to the frost Induces gangrene. Preventive precautions have been taken, ta-ken, but the wounded are suffering the greatest pain. Tell of Disturbances. The Japanese are taking good care to see that the Russian rank and file are not left uninformed regarding the dis turbances In Russia. They are carrying on a regular campaign to spread sedition sedi-tion and discouragement among the troops. Letters are dally thrown within with-in the RusMan lines declaring that all Russia is aflame with riot and revolt, arguing that the soldiers are shedding their blood in vain and calling on them to surrender or desert. The soldiers eagerly read end discuss these communications, commu-nications, especially accounts of the 'events at St. Petersburg January 22. LAND PARLIAMENT MAY BE GRANTED AS RUSSIAN REFORM ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 31. The report re-port that Maxim Gorky may be hansed for high treason Is without the slightest slight-est foundation. Even his friends declare de-clare the rumor absurd. The expectation expecta-tion Is that he will be released In a few weeks. He was a member of the deputation depu-tation of editors and literary men who called on M. Witte, president of the committee of Ministers, January 21, all of whom were arrested but several of whom have already been released. The only other charge against Gorky is that he was a member of the committee of three which was appointed to collect funds for the strikers. The Associated prea 'nf'- exceedingly high authority that the chances ot the ciuvonm, -u.. !.- , present situation by granting a. son of zemskyzabor (old Russian land parliament) parlia-ment) are growing hourly brighter. In the opinion of many Liberals the creation crea-tion of such a body, made up of representatives repre-sentatives of all classes which could, like the old States General of France, voice the needs and grievances of the people without Intermediaries directly with the sovereign, wduld rally to the Government's support all the Conservative Conserva-tive and Liberal elements.

Eighteen arrests have been made here In connection with the throwing of a bomb at a group of police and republican guards after the meeting of the Socialist revolutionists revolution-ists last night. Twelve of the suspects have been arrested and the others are held on suspicion. The two Injured republican re-publican guards are progressing favorably. fa-vorably. The condition of the three wounded civilians Is not dangerous. An analysis made at the municipal laboratory shows that the bomb deposited depos-ited on the doorstep of Prince Trou-betskoy Trou-betskoy of the Russian embassy yesterday yes-terday was highly explosive. Special police surveillance has been established over the Russian embassy. A Police Judge has begun the examination examina-tion of the persons suspected of throwing throw-ing the bomb last night. DEMONSTRATION BY JAPANESE. ARMY IS NOT HELD SERIOUS ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 31.-Assoclated Press telegrams from Manchuria do not Indicate developments of importance since Gen. Grippenberg's order to abandon the advance. The Japanese yesterday made a demonstration in the Eastern district, but apparently it was not serious. The operations on the Russian right will probably not occasion further heavy flght- ing at present unless the Japanese de- i termlne to follow up their counter-offen sive movement, which Is not likely in view of the dispatches from Mukden, paying pay-ing the cold is more Intense, thus rendering ren-dering the movements of large bodies on 'either side well-nigh impossible.
