INSISTS FIRMLY
ON CONSTITUTION
emstvo Congress Declares
Terms of Support
for Witte.
IIS FRIENDS DEFEATED
Hrect Ballot Carried by Two-
Thirds 11 Power Should Be In
Cabinet National Douma
lo Make Constitution.
MOSCOW. Nov. 23. By a scant majority
n 20 today the Zomstvo Congress adopted
he first sections of tho programme draft-
(d by the executive committee, declaring
he solidarity of the congress -with the
rlncinles of the imperial manifesto ot
October 30. and assuring the government
it the sunoort of tho great majority of
fcemstvos and municipalities in carrying
hti effect the liberties promised by the
lanifesto, but laying down as the sole
leans of guaranteeing tne autnoruy 01
Ihe Douma and restoring order in tne
our.try the election of representatives by
general, direct, equal and secret ballot.
Ind the formal grant to the first Douma
f the power to elaborate a constitution
jr the empire.
The friends of Count Witte on the floor
tiade a stout fight against the provision
Dr a direct ballot, the one concession
hich the Premier considers It- impossioie
h grant, but this provision was carried
Ivcr their heads by a two-thirds majority.
Put All Ministers in Cabinet.
The proposition in its final form is sub-
Itant!ally the same as cabled yesterday.
the committee- to which it was referred
ir further consideration made numerous
I Iterations in the phraseology, but little
tiange in the substance, except the inser-
I on of a demand for the immediate aboll-
lon of martial law In Poland as among
lie measures deemed to be Imperative be-
Iire the convocation of the Douma.
The congress also Inserted, at the stig-
hstion of the committee, a provision sub-
ctine all Ministers except the court Min
sters, to the responsibility of the Cabinet,
Mullkoff explaining that with the Min
isters of War, Navy and Foreign Affairs
cceptcd from such responsibility not only
juld war or peace be decided without
insulting the Premier, but the Minister
War could declare martial law in any
ctlon of the country without consulting
i s colleagues.
The committee rejected an amendment
roposed by Professor Kovalevsky for the
reation of a committee of ZemstvoiBts to
t in an advisory capacity with Count
.'itte until the meeting of the Douma.
ISxile Iieaden of Moderates.
I In the debate preceding the adoption of
he resolution. Prince Eugene Troubet-
oy proposed to substitute the words
ireclous acquisition of the people" for
be phrase calling the manifesto "precious
hnquest," but it was rejected.
Prince Troubotskoy, Count Heyden and
Karauloff made a final but vain effort
eliminate the section giving constitu-
it privileges to tho first Douma. M.
larauloff, a former revolutionist, who
cnt 24 years In prison or in exile, and
tho in the congress represents Yeniseisk,
berla, where he has been living in ban-
iment, opposed universal suffrage ana
irned the congress that insistence on a
knstituent assembly would precipitate a
Iruggle with tho forces of anarchy and
unge tho country into a sea of blood.

Irations in the resolution adopted yes-
lay by the Zemstvo Congress.
le has no hope that the policy recom-
Irnded by the congress will be com-
?tely satisfactory to tho government,. as
e Constitutional Democrats have the bit

the words of their forxnor i.1ol, M. Pe-

Many Liberals believe the Premier Is
ilged to make a show of opposition
its effect upon the Emperor and court,
It it is privately known that he lias been
kivinccd for some time that the elabora-
in of a constitution containing the char-
Iter of Russian libortles to which the
nperor will swear allegiance Is the
fest if not the only egress fr6m the
esent situation. It would at the same
lie buttress the government against a
Issible attempt at reacion on one hand
Id fortify for the light against the rev-
Eitionarj forces on tho other. But he
bards it as vital that the moderate
liservatlve majority should ratify the
istitution.
RVhlle ready to agree, therefore, to uni-
sal suffrage, tho Premier would never
Iisent to direct suflrago for tho lgnor-
It peasantry of the villages In the cOun-
r. His scheme Is for indirect elections
rough one set of electors in the country
id direct election in the cities, being
indent that this would insure tho re-
of conservative representatives from

Tactically all the other demands of tho
istvolists, which probably come un
the executive branch of the covern-
Int, the Premier will be "willing to con-

fhe extreme radical wing of the Zemst-
jsts. who are afflicted with Socialist
lizatlons, denounced the propositions

Int under any circumstances, as being
basest treachery-

VILTj AID POLAND'S STRUGGLE
Poles in America Decide to Raise
Relief Fund.
CHICAGO. Nov. 23. "Wc. the Poles
now living in America, do not only syny
pathlre with our countrymen in Polanu
and do not only unanimously approve
the demands made by them on the Rus
sian Government, but we obligate oar
selves to support, according to our means,
the cause of our countrymen in Poland
by creating a national relief fund by
contributions to be safeguarded and dis
tributed by officers of the Polish National
Alliance where such funds will do the
most good." I
In the foregoing language, a special ses-
slon of the central government of the J
Polish National Alliance, hold yesterday
at the national home here, started a
movement for tho assistance or the Polish
people, who are struggling to establish a
constitutional government.
More than 130 Polish societies, with a
membership of more than 50.000. which
will be Increased to 100.000 in Chicago,
will be asked to support the movement,
through anppeal sent out today.
The appeal is accompanied by a resolu
tion adopted by the Central Alliance and
a request for its adoption by the various
societies. The resolution, which concludes
with the obligation to contribute to the
relief fund, is to be acted upon at mass
meetings of the various sbcletics, and af
ter receiving the signatures of the mem
bers, is to bo transmitted to the office of
the Polish National Alliance.
The fund will be under the caro and
control of the central government of tho
Polish National Alliance, and contribu
tions will be received by the treasurer,

ROSEN" ON" THE REVOLUTION
Attributes 3Iassacres to Excitement
Due to Great Upheaval.
PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 23. Before a
distinguished audience of educators, other
prominent men and women of Philadel
phia and specially invited guests, Baron
Rosen, the Russian Ambawador to the
United States, appeared on the public
platform tonight for the first time since
the Czar gave freedom to the Russians,
and expressed his great faith in the new
era on which his country has entered.
The Baron was the principal speaker at
the regular meeting of the American
Academy of Political and Social Science,
the general topic under discussion being
"America's Industrial Opportunitlea in
Russia."
Scattered through tho audience were
men prominent In Jewish circles of the
city, clergymen, many professors of the
University of Pennsylvania and several
Japanese. The othr speakers were H.
D. Peirce, Third Assistant Secretary of
State; Charles Emory Smith. ox-Minister
to Russia, and Congressman Robert
Adams, of this city, a member of the for
eign affairs committee ot the House of
Representatives.
Baron Rosen expressed his regret that
the dawn of liberty In Russia should
have been marked by an outbreak ot the
wildest passions and of wholesale rioting
and bloodshed. "Impartial history will
pronounce Judgment on theso events,
placing responsibilities where they belong.
Impartial history will take into account
that in a time of great political upheaval
people's minds are apt to loso their bal
ance and that in tho fever heat of politi
cal passions long confined and at last un
loosened deeds ;wlH be done that will fill
some day with burning shame the hearts
of tho very men who committed thorn."
NEW GOVERNMENT. OF FINLAND
Witt Cltooses Gerard, 3Ian of Lib
eral Opinions.
HELSINGFORS. Finland, Nov. 23. The
report that Privy Councillor Nicholas N.
Gerhard has been appointed Governor
General of Finland is correct. He is a
Senator and president of the Dopartmont
of Civil and Ecclesiastical Affairs. Ho
held a seat In the old Committee of Min
isters, of which Count Witte was presi
dent. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 23. While
Nicholas N. Gerard is Count "WItte's se
lection for Governor-General of Finland,
he Is not the choice of the Finnish dele
gation here, which prefers Prlnco Potor
Svlatapolk-Mirsky. The members of the
delegation say the new Govenior-Genoral
probably will be entirely acceptable to
the Finnish nation. He is a man of lib
eral views. Is regarded as an authority
on matters of jurisprudence, and. It is
believed, will make a good administrator.
Both Count Witte and the Emperor
were of the opinion that it would not be
wise to appoint a military man to the
post.
Interest In the Finnish situation will
now bo absorbed In the struggle between
the Socialists and the Constitutionalists,
which Is quite as woll defined and bitter
in Finland as in Russia.

SKALLON CALLS FOR BLOOD
Orders Officials to Shoot Agitators
and Dispense Meetings.
WARSAW. Nov. 23. Governor-General
Skallon has sent a confidential circular to
the temporal Governors recently appoint
ed in the ten Polish provinces, ordering
them to consider agitators and exhorters
as insurgents and to shoot them down
until they are all exterminated, and also

PARIS. Nov. 22. Turkey's note in re
ply to the ultimatum of the powers con
tains a warning that tha action of the
powers in resorting to a navnl demonstra
tion may precipitate an internal upris
ing of Mussulmans against the Christian
population in Turkey. This Is considered
to be a throat, as It Is known that no
demonstration of Mussulmans against
Christians can occur unless it has silent
acquiescence of the Turkish authorities.
The answer of the Porte as a whole is
entirely unsatisfactory, since it docs not
respond to the demand for the extension
of tho authority of the financial agents
of the powers for two years, and Is
evasive upon tho question of the general
control by the powers of the financial
affairs of Macedonia. All the Ministers
except the Minister of "War favored yield
ing to the ultimatum, but palace influ
ences led the Sultan to overrule the fa
vorable attitude of the Porte. These In
fluences are rogarded as the outgrowth of
Germany's abstaining from taking an ac
tive part in the naval demonstration.
The Turkish reply gives a serious turn
to the negotiations.
