alms, but I had a right to. I am an
independent Catholic priest."

ment which started in France was

dated January 3, 1905, and signed by
Archbishop Vilatte, who authorized
him to build churches and solicit

RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT E
PLAINS WHY IT FROWNED
ON THE CELEBRATIONS
FEARED POLITICAL ACTIVITY
Letters, Addresses And Telegrams
Are Pouring in to the Great Writer
and Dreamer From All Parts ofj
Russia and the World.
ST. PETERSBURG, Sept. 11. An
official statement has been issued here
which explains the attitude of the
minister of the interior on the Tolstoi
celebration. It shows that many of
the provincial governors abused the
discretion vested in them with regard
to forbidding the celebration.
It was the intention of the ministry
merely to prevent political demonstra
tion and celebrations and gratifica
tions of Tolstoi's anti-religious and
anarchistic ideas. There was no de
sire to interfere with the honors shown
Tolstoi as a writer; Premier Stoly
pin replied in a similar tone to the
mayor of Moscow, who appealed to
him against the action of the govern
or of that province in prohibiting the
municipal celebrations. As a result
these will be held according to pro
gramme.
Count Tolstoi passed yesterday
quietly among his family and intimate
friends. His convalescence is pro
gressing favorably, but . he is still
weak. Letters, addresses, and tele
grams are pouring in from all parts
of Russia and the world and innumer
able gifts to the great author have
reached here.
Count Tolstoi, who is deply touch
ed at the kind tokens of good will is
hard at work in his customary literary
pursuits.
