Von Plehve Forces Urge Czar to Com

, 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.

DENVER, Nov. 22. A special officer of

charged with violating the order of the
court appointing special watchers on elec

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. If he falls wo
take our chances, although wcfeel sure
