And the Cossacks, Too?—The dread Cossack arm of the Russian soldiery, which for a long time has been the main dependence of the autocracy and the awe of the peasantry, is at last showing a disposition to join the ranks of the dissatisfied masses. A St. Petersburg despatch says: "The third squadron of the Don Cossacks is reported to have held a meeting and to have drawn up service demands, claiming that the men are fed like dogs and shabbily clothed. The government officials were forced to deprive the soldiers of their rifles and lances. This is the first sign of disaffection on the part of the Cossacks."
