AWFUL CALAMITY OF DISASTROUS WAR. CIVIL WAR MENACING. LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE. TO ENSURE UNITY. (Received June 9, 10.4S p.m.) St. PETERSBURG, June 9. Representatives of the Zoinstvos and 280 Russ an towns appointed a deputation to present an address to the Czar, protesting against the awful calamity of a disastrous war brought' about by the criminal abuses and negligence of State Councillors, and declaring that still more menacing is the prospect of civil -war, resulting l from the vices t»f a dangerously ignorant bureaucracy. The uddress appeals to the Czar to let representatives elected on an equal franchise without distinction decide with him the vital question of peace or war. If the terms of peace were then rejected, war would become natural, and the world would see Russia in no danger of being fl vided or of exhausting her strength in internal struggles.
