THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 190 i. WARNTHEGLIOUE Russian Liberals Have Reform. BLOOD MAY HAVE TO FLOW Pajjice, Instead of Ministers, Will Be Attacked. DUCAL CIRCLES ARE ALARMED , 3 - ' '41 Von Plehve Forces Urge Czar to Com mand Zemstvos to Return Home , Memorial of Latter Will Be Presented Today. SPECIAL CABL.H 'ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 23. Members of the so-called "vanguard of the lib eral movement" have circulated a -warning that If the court clique should over throw Prince Sviatopolk-Mlrsky's feform scheme "high personages outside the government -will be treated according to the more rigorous traditions of the eman cipationists." Thi3 means that assassination -will be invoked against the palace, rather than against the Ministers. Grand ducal cir cles are greatly alarmed by this threat. It is recognized that those responsible for It are men of action. As always happens in a period of historical transition, con TBIcting decisions are bringing the authori ties into disrepute. They have been forced against their will, by a series of popular revolts, to introduce reforms, and at the same time devise means for rendering those reforms ineffectual. In both St. Petersburg and Moscow the enlightened public is highly dissatisfied and excited. The final policy of the government con sernlng the Zemstvos, -who will present their memorial tomorrow, is likely to de termine the trend of Russian politics for a long time to come. Reactionary op position to Prince Sviatopolk-Mirsky's liberal nrogramme is in full swing. The Entire Plehve clique assures the Czar that in the Interest of public order throughout the empire, the presidents of the Zemstvos must be commanded to re turn home. Prince Shlkmatoff, Governor of Tver has come to St. Petersburg In all haste to join the reactionaries. He has been received by the Czar, to whom he declared his majesty's dynasty -was entering on a dangerous crisis, and that the reformers must be suppressed. It is stated that the Czar called Prince Bviatopolk-Mlrsky to account and that the Minister of the Interior threatened to resign if his plans should be materially Interfered with. the government would not dare to re verse the policy of liberalism which lias received such an impetus since Von Plehve's death. The moment is pro pitious for concessions. The govern ment is in a difficult position and needs the support and the sympathy of the people. I believe something at least will be granted. A free press would be the greatest step of calling a National assembly.. If only the A, B, Cs of the programme are conceded, the res of the alphabet inevitably will be drawn in their wake." Thirty-one of the 22 presidents of the provincial executive committees havo now indorse the Zemstvo memorial. President Markhoff. of the St. Peters burg: committee, having- sent in his ad hesion with an explanatory letter say ing he was prevented by illness from attending the meeting when his col leagues signed the memorial. The text of the memorial, as finally adopted, differs only a few points from the version given by the Associatea Press on November' 19. The changes were made solely with a view to em phasizing and clarifying what the rep resentatives consider essential points of their position. The fifth article as amended reads: 'In order to exclude the possibility of administrative arbitrariness and still give vital effect to the people of the inviolability of person and private dom icile, no one must be subjected to pun ishment or restriction of his rights without decision of independent law authorities. To attain this end it is essential that measures be Introduced for establishing the civil and criminal responsibility of officeholders for viola tion of laws, as a guarantee of tne practical realization of the essentials of legality in government." A fresh section is inserted providing that the "personal (civil and political) rights of all citizens In the Russian Empire must be equal.' Finally, an Important and explicit definition is given as to the extent in which the "specially elected body" shall control legislation. This body is to give effect to legislation, to draw up the budget of revenue and expenditure and to control the legality of the acts of the administration." The final article follows: "In view of the importance and dif ficulty of the internal and external com plications through which Russia Is pass ing this Informal conference expresses the hope that the sovereign power will summon freely the elected representa tives of the nation in order that their co-operation be obtained for the father land for an evolution of the .state in the direction of establishing a new basis of law for mutual co-operation between the imperial authority and the people." Todays meeting also discussed and passed resolutions which will be submitted separately to Emperor Nicholas through Minister Svlatopolk-Mlrsky, praying for the abolition of the state of siege existing in many cities of Russia; for amnesty to all prisoners punished by administrative process or without trial by ordinary proc ess of law; for more favorable treatment of the question of primary schools, the necessity for which has hitherto not been recognized or admitted by the authorities. who, it is alleged, do everything to check and Impede primary education, and lor a more humane method of enforcing partial mobilization. It is pointed out that if the military authorities would consult with the Minister of the Interior and the Zemstvo, much unnecessary harshness and resulting disturbance would be avoided. Tonight the editors of the principal Russian papers met the presidents of the Zemstvo to arrange a plan for co-operation in their work. A communication was received from, the revolutionary organiza tion promising to suspend activity pend ing the government's action on the mem orial. Big student demonstrations which were planned for this week have been post poned on the urgent advice of the Zem stvo presidents, who are anxious not to embarrass Minister Bviatopolk-Mlrsky. The control which the Zemstvo exercises over the disturbing elements of the body politic Is one of the strongest features of their position in the great struggle. DEPEW APPEAES SAFE. Unless Odell Takes Decisive Action, Senator Will Be Re-Elected. NEW YORK, Nov. 22. The selection of United States Senator by the newly elected Legislature of this state to secure Senator Depew was the subject of con ferences today between Governor Odell, ex-Governor Black and Senator Depew, Governor Odell assured both Senator De pew and ex-Governor Black. In most posi tive terms that he would not be a candi date for the Senatorshlp, and furthermore he would not take part in any canvass by any one nor interest himself In the contest. It developed at the conferences that Senator Depew has the written pledges of a majority of the Legislature to Vote for him to succeed himself, and that unless there is decisive action on the part of Governor Odell for another candidate. Senator Depew Is assured of re-election. ARREST DEMOCRATIC TRADERS Denver Men Are Accused of Denying Watchers at Polls Their Rights. DENVER, Nov. 22.

I WANT or Box Writing Paper HARDLY EXPECT CZAR TO YIELD . i Zemstvos, However, Feel Certain of Victory In the End. ST. PETERSBURG. Nov. 22. The seri ous work of the Zemstvo meeting being accomplished, the, only remaining ques tions relating to aid of the wounded and distressed, many or tne members axe al ready leaving for their homes. At the last moment the form of the me morial was altered to make it appear an "expression of the hope that it is the wish of the Emperor to summon a national assembly." The practical result of the meeting, as represented by the Emperor's response, is now of all-absorbing interest. The memorial will be presented to In terior Minister Sviatopolk-Mirsky tomor row, and by him personally will be trans mitted to the Emperor. There is no clew as to the outcome. The general Idea in government circles, and even of many of those who partici pated In the meeting, is that it will be un favorable, but the whole situation is so unprecedented that even the best-In formed hardly know what to expect. One of the most prominent members of the Zemstvo delegation said to the As sociated Press: "The general opinion of my colleagues is the reverse of optimistic. Therefore, it is a mistake to raise hopes that are doomed probably to disappointment, but hope exists. Probably there will be the usual attempt to temporize. We may not get all, but we may get something. No matter what the immediate result, how ever, we havo gained a remarkable vic tory. We have put into concrete form our opinion that the present system In the end must spell ruin or revolution. "The Emperor knows the character of the men whose names are attached to the memorial. They represent the best blood and thought of the Empire. "We are not revolutionaries. We do not believe the people are prepared for a Republic. We support the monarchical idea, but we be lieve it must be a constitutional mon archy, and that the Emperor must choose between the moderate programme we offer or eventual revolution. If there Is no re sult now we will continue the work of agitation and education. There will be a larger and stronger meeting next year. If the meeting is forbidden in St. Peters burg, then it will take place in Moscow, Kleff or in an open field it necessary. The movement will gather headway as time elapses. We have risked our liber ties, and we shall not retreat." "The law which makes agitation for a change in the form of government pun ishable with penal servitude Is still in force, we are all amenable, but so long as Prince Svlatopolk-Mlrsky Is Minister we know we are safe.
