KORNILOFF'S REVOLT OVER.

KALEDIN THREATENS HOSTILITY. ACTION OF CADETS. Australian Cable Association. Received Sept. 10, 11.55 p.m. London, Sept. IC. The Daily News' Petrograd correspondent states that General Korniloff's revolt is over. Throughout Wednesday fraternising went on between the troops sent against Petrograd and those sent to meet them. General Kaledin, a Cossack general, is the only other recalcitrant. He has threatened to raise the Don country, and to cut the Moscow— Petrograd railway. An important factor during the revolt was the Cadets' attitude. These are constitutional democrats, opposed to Rerensky and the democratic organisations. They offered to mediate between M. Kerensky and General Korniloff, which would have led to a bloody struggle, both in the army and the country, and this would certainly have been of political advantage to th" Cadets.
