.to Russia.
POLICY IS DECIDED UPON
National Representative Body
Is Made Chief Issue.
CONFERENCE AT THE 'CAPITAL
Government WIthfltrsws Official Au
spices -at Laet "Moment Because
the Representatives Decline
to Adhere to Plans.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nay? 19. The meet
ing of representatives of Zemstvos, which
had been looked forward to with so much
hope, was held this pi ternoon at a private
residence In this city, but at the last mo
ment the government withdrew the of
ficial auspices under which it was to be
held because the representatives declined
to adhere to the original purpose of the
conference. A hundred Interested men.
Included among whom were some of the
most prominent figures In Russia, there
fore met and discussed a carefully pre
pared memorandum, practically embody
ing a recommendation for a national rep
resentative body to have a share In the
government This memorandum will be
presented to Emperor Nicholas".
Prince Svlatolopolk-Mirsky, the Minister
of the Interior, guaranteed the meeting
protection from police interference, but
secrecy was maintained as to the place
of meeting, and this effectually prevented
demonstrations which it had been an-
I nounced would be made by students.
The memorandum includes ten sections,
of which seven were indorsed at today's
meeting. The remainder, It Is expected,
will be approved at a meeting to be held
tomorrow. The document, which is bound
to hold a conspicuous place in Russian
history, Is as follows:
"Preamble of proposals on 'the questions
of general conditions preventing the nor
mal course and development of our social
life, submitted to a private conference
"of Zemstvos workers November 19 and SO,
In St Petersburg.
Mutual Confidence Lacking.
"Section 1 The abnormal system of.
government prevailing among us, espe
cially noticeable since the '80s, is due to
complete estrangement of government and
people and the absence of the mutual
confidence ,so necessary to national life.
"Section 2 The relations between the
government and the people originate from
npprenension of development of popular
initiative and persistent efforts to exclude
the people from participation in internal
I government- With this object the gov
ernment endeavored to extend centralized
administration to all branches of local
government and impose a tutelage In
every branch of national life, admitting
co-operation with the people solely for the
purpose of bringing popular Institutions
into harmony with the views of the gov- !
ernment
"Section 3. The bureaucratic svstem of
I causing estrangement of the supreme
power and the people creates a field for
a wide scope of administrative arbitrari
ness and personal caprice. Such a condi
tion deprives the nation of he necessary
assurances that the rights of each and all ;
will be protected, and undermines confi
dence in the government
Section 4. The normal current and
I evolution of state and nation Is possible
only under the condition o close living
and union and the co-operation of the im
perial power with the people.
"Section E. In order to exclude the oos-
leibillty of the display of administrative
inrhltranneas and to guarantee personal
rights, it is necessary to establish and
apply a principle by which no one will
Ids subjected to punishment or the restric
tion of rights without the decision of inde-
enflent legal authorities.
Freedom of Press and Conscience.
"Section 6. For the unrestricted expres
sion of public opinion and the free expo
sition and satisfaction of popular needs it
is essential to guarantee freedom of con
science and of speech and of the press.
I ana also freedom of meeting and associa
tion. "Section 7. Self-reliance is the chief
condition of the proper and successful de
velopment of the political and economic
life of the country- A considerable ma
jority of the population of Russia belong
ing to tne peasant class, it is necessary,
first of all, to place the latter In a posi
tion favorable for development of self
reliance and energy, and this is attainable
only by a radical alteration of the present
inequitable and humiliating condition of
be peasants. For this purpose it is neces
ary (a) to equalize the civil and nolltical
lghts of peasants with the other classes:
1(b) release rural self-government from
administration tutelage: (c) safemiard
oasants by proper courts of justice.
"Section S. Zemstvo institutions In
v'hlch local and popular life is mostly
oncentrated, must be placed in conditions
in which they may successfully carry out
tneir duties. For this purpose It is neces-
ry that the zemstvo representation
based on a no-cla&s basis, and all the
forces of the local population be admitted
to share In zemstvo work; that zemstvo
finsututions be brought into closer touch
nth the people by the creation of a small
lemstvo, the "organization to agree upon
a basis guaranteeing absolute independ
ence, and that zemstvo Institutions be
ssured the necessary permanence and In-
lependence essential to their proper de
velopment and activity and mutual co
operation of governmental with nonular
institutions.
"Section 9. But for the creation and
lntenance of close and healthy com-
lunlon, a unison of the imperial authority
rith the people upon the basis above
lointed out and in order to assure the
correct development of life, state and na-
lon. It is unquestionably necessary for
National representation In the form of a
specially elective body to participate in
legislation.
"Section 10. This conference, consider
ing Itself an informal gathering of which
the members express personal views, con
siders that settlement of the question on
phe basis which forms the -relatlonshiD
jf government and popular representation
In the life of the country should be sub-
ailtted to representatives of the nation
chosen under the conditions above lndl-
ited as essential for freedom in elec-
Jons."
Popular Demonstration at Moscow.
MOSCOW, Nov. 19. Popular demons tra
ions occurred here today owing to the re
cusal of the authorities to authorize an
official meeting of the Zemstvos repre
sentatives at St Petersburg. Crowds in
the streets in front of the palace of Grand
Duke Sergius, Governor-General of Mbs
cow, shouted, "Down "with ihe Moscow
Gazette," the only newspaper in Russia
which is fiercely opposed to the Zemstvos.
Later the crowds voluntarily dispersed.
The Zemstvos supporters here telegraphed
to M. Shipoff, president of the Moscow
Zemstvos, to make a final effort to induce
the government to allow the meeting to
be held under official auspices.

He Says the Russian Feints Are Uni
formly Repulsed.
TOKIO. Nov'. 20 (1 P. M-l.-Increasiiur
activity along the Shakhe River seems
to indicate the imminence of another great
oattie. The Russian feints, evidently In
tended to draw a Japanese attack, are
uniformly repulsed.

ing report from Field Marshal Oyama's
report dated November IS:

"Tho enemy have burned Huanglashetsu
and villages to the southeast of the right
bank of the River Hun."
Japanese Testing Both Flanks.
MUKDEN. Nov. 18, via Pekin. Nov. 19.
Opinion is divided regarding the possi
bility of the intention of the Japanese
making a flanking operation. The desul
tory cannonading today did not signify
anything.
In the absence of all reliable news the
expectations regarding Port Arthur being
captured have so far subsided that the
possibility of the garrison making a last
stand against time at the Golden Hill and
Tiger's Tall forts Is discussed. Officers
who have just arrived here from the ex
tern e right say the fighting which has com
menced there shows that the Japanese
apparently are testing both the Russian
flanks in turn.
Japanese Start Home to Join Army.

JAPAN IS IN DOUBT
Diplomats Fear Chile and Ar-.
gentinaWill Sell Warships.
RUSSIA STRAINS EVERY NERVE
British Firm Refuses, to Consider i
Flattering Offer Made by the-Ad-
' mlralty to Open a Navy-Yard
. 1 on :th& Baltic.1. ' S
LONDON, Nov. 19. The Japanese dip
lomatic representatives in Europe, at
the request of Tokio, have made in
quiries Into the report that Prussia Is
acquiring a, new fleet from Chile and
Argentina. "The Tokio government was
recently, informed that Chile and Ar
gentina between them had sold or op
tioned 'to Colombia six or seven war
vessels which Colombia Intends to turn
over to Russia, Inquiries carried on
here and in South America by Japan
ese agents have elicited an emphatic
denial from both Chile and Argentina.
These governments are said to have
stated that they are anxious to sell cer
tain vessels, but not at? the risk of be
ing heavily mulcted for breach of neu
trality. Despite the officials' denials, which
have been transmitted to Tokio, -more
than one Japanese diplomat in Europe
is apprehensive that In some way or
other these half dozen war. vessels may
shortly pass under control of Russia
Japanese independent inquiries confirm
the published statement that an Ameri
can house Is concerned in negotiations
looking to some such acquisition on the
part of Russia.
.The efforts of Russia to stimulate
shipbuilding- within her territory, as
detailed In the Associated Press dis
patch from St Petersburg last night
have been known to leading English
firms for some time. An agent of the
Russian Admiralty recently made an
offer here to one of the largest British
shipbuilding firms in which he guar
anteed a certain number of orders and
a form of subsidy If the firm would
open a navy-yard on the Baltic The
terms were unsatisfactory and the
offer was refused. A somewhat similar
suggestion is now under consideration
"by the Vlckers-Maxlm "Company, but
it is not likely to be accepted.
SURE JAPANESE FIRED SHOTS
Dutch Engineer With Russian Fleet
Writes of North Sea Incident.
AMSTERDAM, Nov. 19. The Tele
graph publishes a letter from Tangier,
written by a Dutch engineer named
Kooy, who is connected with the wire
less telegraph system on board the
Russian transport Kamchatka, belong
ing to Admiral Rojestvensky's division
of the second Pacific fleet The letter
says that shortly after the Kamchatka
anchored at Skagen for coal, a wireless
message was received stating that four
torpedo-boats which had been pur
chased by Japan had left the Danish
Fjords. When the Kamchatka left
Skagen, she was -convoyed by two
cruisers, but lost them on the first
night during a fog. The weather
cleared on the second night, and short
ly after 8 o'clock four vessels were
sighted steaming rapidly. An order
was given to man the guns, and tho
Kamchatka fired blank shells as a
warning to the Vessels to change their
course. They continued to approach,
however, whereupon the Kamchatka
commenced a furious cannonade.
Two torpedo-boats crossed the line
of fire. Under tho searchlight Kooy
In his letter says, he clearly saw two
torpedo-boats, and he is certain they
were not Russian vessels. One of tho
torpedo-boats launched a torpedo, but
the Kamchatka changed her position
and no damage 'was done. The torpedo--boat
then slackened speed and Kooy
believes she was damaged by the fire
from the Kamchatka. It Is stated that
the second torpedo-boat also launched
a torpedo, but ho did not see them.
The other torpedo-boats disappeared,
and he believes they attacked Vlce-Ad-mlral
Rojestvcnsky. The Kamchatka
sent a wireless warning to Admiral
Rojestvensky. The writer says that
every one in Kronstadt knows when
and "where the Japanese purchased the
torpedo-boats.
BIG BATTLE MAY BE ON.
St. Petersburg Hears Thunder of Guns
Is Increasing at Mukden.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 20 (1:40 A. M.)
The "War Office announced at a late
hour tonight that It had no further dis
patches regarding the fighting near Muk
den. In the absence of official dispatches,
press telegrams are regarded as evidence
that Important developments arb In prog
ress and it is not improbable that a gen
eral engagement Is going on. The War
Office admits that tho activity all along
the line indicates that both armies are
ready. The Russians, according to Gen
eral Kuropatkln's report are pressing the
Japanese left while a very significant
movement of the Japanese Is reported at
Sintslntin, 45 miles cant of Mukden.
" A special correspondent telegraphing
under last night's date, says the battle
has begun and that the thunder of tho
guns is unceasing.
RUSSIANS FEAR CAPTURE.
Japanese Said to Have Threatened
Sailors Now at Chefoo.
PARIS, Nov. 19. Semi-official advices
from Chefoo ' says that the officers arid
crew of the Russian torpedo-boat destroy
er Rastoropny, who have been ashore
since tho blowing up of their boat assert
that the commander of the Japanese torpedo-boats
which entered the port threat
ened to take the Russians prisoners. Tho
latter, it Is added, believing the Japan
ese would attempt to carry out their
threats by landing, in spite of the neu
trality of Chefoo, have sought refuge on
a Chinese cruiser in the harbor, where,
it is said, the Russians will be protected
against a posslblo attempt to take them
prisoners.
The foregoing is regarded in official
quarters here as a flagrant disregard of
the neutrality of Chefoo. j

Mukden Reports Japanese Will Wait.
MUKDEN. Nov. 20. The position at the
front Is unchanged. Positive information
received here contradicts previous re
ports, and says the Japanese have decided
not to begin p. serious operation on Muk
den before a definite result at PortArthur,
cither a fall of the fortress or a neces
sity for the Japanese to bring up rein
forcements from Japan and recommence
the arduous work of the campaign. Until
then they Intend to confine themselves
merely to holding the Isslans In check.

PHYSICIANS EVERYWHERE'
Know the Value of Pyramid Pile Cure.
"Gratitude alone prompts me to testify
to the efficacy ot Pyramid Pile Cure. Last
March I bought a dollar package at the
drugstore, which cured me of bleeding
piles, and I was a sufferer from them for
eight years; but I had not been troubled
with them since, until last September,
when I gave birth to a baby girl, and af
ter that I had a very severe case of pro
truding piles, which a- trained nursV said
was the worst case she ever saw. and my
doctod told me to get Pyramid Pile Cure
again, which I did and was completely
cured In three days. I have not had piles
of any kind since, and It Is all owing
to this wonderful remedy. My nurse took
a box. which I was glad to be able to
give her, for I know she will be able to
help lots of suffering people whom I could
never see or know.
"I recommend 'Pyramids' wherever I
know of any one suffering as I did. It
gives me great pleasure to be able to say
I am entirely cured, which my doctor says

SWAMP-ROOTA BLESSING TO WOMEN
My kidneys and bladder gave mo" great
trouble for over two months and I suffered
untold misery. I became weak, emaciated
and very much run down. X had great dif
ficulty in retaining my urine, and was
obliged to pass water very often night and
day. After I had used a sample bottle of
Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root sent me on my
request. I experienced relief and I immedi
ately bought of my druggist two large bot
tles and continued taking it regularly. X am
pleased to say that Swamp-Root cured me
entirely. X can now stand on my feet all day
without any bad symptoms whatever.
Swamp-Root has proved a blessing to me.
Gratefully yours.

Good actions speak lomder than words,"
o too, does the testimony of many thou-
sanas ox women during a
third of a ceatmry speak
loader than mere claims
not backed by a manatee
of some kind. That is
reason why the pro-'
ipnetors of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescrip
tion are willing' to
offer $500 reward
for women who can
not be cored. Sach
remarkable offer
is founded oa the
long record of cares
'of the diseases and
weaknesses pecu
liar to women. If
there is an invalid
woman, suffering from female weakness,
prolapsus, or falling of womb, or from leu
corrhea who has used Dr. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription without complete success, the
proprietors of that medicine would like to
near from such person and it will be to
he; advantage to write them as they offer,
in perfect good faith, a reward of $500
for any case of the above maladies which
they cannot care. No other medicine for
woman's ill3 is possessed of the unparal
leled curative properties that would war
rant its makers m making sach an offer.
The Sisters ol the Good Shepherd, at tfcek
convent, Onr Lady of the Woods," Carthage,
Ohio, use a great deal of Dr. Pitree'ameciclEes;
they say, in a recent letter to Dr. Pierce: we
beg to assure yon of the great benefit these
medicines give our ailing ones. We casaet
sufficiently recommend their excellence."
When the druggist says he has some
thing that is as good as Dr. Pierce's Favor
ite Prescription, just tell him, "There's
nothing just as good." He says so becaase
he hopes to make a better profit bat Ms
own mixtures have not stood the teat of
long experience and saccesa that Doctor
Pierce's medicines have. Then, too,
patent medicines advertised as tonics, eoa
tain large quantities of alcohoL Dr. Pierce
guarantees that his "Prescription" afecc
not contain a particle of alcohol.
