RUSSIAN PEASANT. MOBS BEGIN A REIGN OF TERROR Sack and Burn in Country Provinces Where Land Is Seized Petrograd, May 26.—The agrarian disorders, wholesale confiscation of property. Incendiarism and other dangerous symptoms of anarchy which followed the overthrow of the old authority m many Important in dustrial centers and agricultural dis tricts of central and southern Rus sia are becoming more serious. In many cities the soldiers' com mittees, by taking prompt action, have succeeded in anticipating re- j volts and in restraining the impulse of the population toward indiscriml- ; nate confiscation and all kinds of j lawlessness. In others, however, the peasants, defying restraint, have burned or sacked and appropriated government and private properties and a general state of anarchy pre-; vails. The following.resume of tele- . grams indicates How acute the | trouble has become: According to a dispatch from; Tsarityan, In the government of Saratov, all authority has been over thrown in the city, which is com-! pletely in the hands of the peasants. The soldiers levied a contribution of 1,300,000 rubles for the increase of j their pay and confiscated 'ships on i the Volga. A farm belonging to Madame Bekmarmaretaba, in the Orel government, was overrun by a mob of 20,000, who wrecked the place, doing damage amounting to 750,000 rubles. The art gallery on the estate, which was one of its most valuable possessions was destroyed except for three religious paintings. The mills also were demolished. The latest reports from the Minsk government state that the agarian disorders have reached such a point that they threaten to complete ruin of agriculture there. The public or ganizations are doing their best to show the peasants the foolhardiness of their actions. In one district all the wine"cellars were sacked and the militia found itself powerless to pre vent drunken riots. Public organizations and commit- j tees are striving to stem the tide of anarchy which is sweeping many dis- | tricts of Bessarabia. The Kishinev peusants have driven their cattle into j fields where grain was being reserv ed. Food conditions are particularly serious in this part of Russia. The Pskov district committee has decided that all agricultural lands i may be taken free of charge, and this | has resulted in a general confiscation.
