SEDITION IN RUSSIA.
MANY ARMY OFFICERS ARRESTED. Copies, to the number of 165,000, of a powerfully-written seditious brochure intended for circulation in the army have been seized by the secret police in one of the port packhouses at Odessa. A similar seizure was affected the other day at Kieff, in which case the revolutionary literature weighed 21owt. Twenty - seven officers and noncommissioned officers of th? Kieff garrison are under arrest on the charge of distributing propagandist leaflets and "proclamations" among the men of their various battalions. At Ekterinoslav recently nine infantry officers of the same regiment were arrested as members of "Th 3 Uniqn of Officers of the Russian Army," an association which is stated to include nearly 7,000 army officers. Within the last'month sixty-seven of the Odessa garrison have resigned their commissions, and five of them have been placed under arrest as signatories of a privately circulated open letter, in which it is stated, inter alia, that "Russia has been converted into a huge prison and the army into policemen and gaolers."
