SATS THE MEASURE IS ILLEGAL Governor Scailon Refuses to Permit Organization of Municipal I ! Ililitia. : ' Conditions in Poland in Unsettled State and Final Result Is Feared Eminent Diplomat Says Enormous Difficulties Confront Count Wltte. ST. I'ETERSBUEG.. Nov. 13. The League of Leagues has adopted a reso lution condemning the proclamation of martial law in Poland as an illegal mea sure directed against the Polish eman cipation movement. The Ruskeye Slove prints a dispateh from Warsaw describ ing the conversation which Governor Seallon had with a deputation of prom inent Poles during which the governor distinctly announced he would not al low the organization of a municipal mi litia. Moreover, he added, he would neither remove the troops from the city nor streets, and warned the depu tation that he is prepared to deal with the situation should the agitation be communicated to the masses. Under ordinary circumstances. In view of past experiences with Poland, the Kusian people would beapt to sym pathize with the coercive measures for the suppression of the nationalist move ment in. - Poland, but in the j present state of public opinion, the coercion is more likely to create a bad impression, especially as many liberals immediately greeted the proe.amation declaring mar tial law with charges of bad faith. They assert if the goernment can suspend the reform manifesto in Poland for an in definite term by imperial) ukase, aris tocracy can likewise suspend it through the w'hole of Russia. On the other hand, according to a government offi cial, if the government allows the Poles to continue the present agitation they will inevitably force the government to suppress th( movement with the, bayo net, which the government desires , to avoid, If Poland's demand for auto nomy Is yielded to, ths Same demand will eanse the surrender of the Baltic provinces and perhaps Ciucasus and later a alien races, which so decentral ize the power of the empire ahd its disintegration will be inevitable. Priat.anl reliable reports from War saw say all parties joining the rmtion ftlist. movement are following the tac tics of Finland, for a complete strike. Sri ohg as the attitude cjf passive re sistance continues the issue will be one of endurance. The danger is that the Poles mav irovok! th aetivp menwiire whicht'wiil mean nothing snort of a eivill war. :,It would be extremely ditticult under ithe present circumstances to t tMript'to withdraw the troops from Fu-rops- Russia. The nnmlwr of troops in Poland, however, is sufficient to copo with the situation. Disquieting reports of the progress of 'Agrarian disorders were re-eivfd today.
