The fol- lowing communication was issued by tha government early this morning: In ths autumn of thia year there was a meeting in St, Petersburg of several Zemstvos of the various governments, w ho expressed a aeries of desires concerning what ore, in their opinion, indispensable reforms in the different tlra empire. Thera degovernments sires were mode the subjects of action by members of ' the various other assemblies which met for the purpose, and also, knowing the provisions of law, wore oumddered nt the deliberations of certain councils and Zemstvos. Thus; by the action of people who endeavored to introduce disuonl into public and state life, excitement arose In the minds tof certain sections of society, chiefly among impressionable youths... In certain towns of the empire there occurred a aeries of noisy meetings, which demanded the presentation to the government of certain demands which were Inadmissible, In the face of the sacred foundations of the laws of tha empire and the indestructible elements which form ths governmenL These sections of . the public made street demonstrations in bands and openly misted the police authorities. Such movements against the existing order of tha government which have fallen adversely upon the bulk of the Runslan people, who are loyal to the everlasting foundation of the existing government,, egave to the excitement above referred to an undeserved importance of a general tendency. The Russian people involved in thia movement, forgetful, of the grievous year which has fallen to tha lot of Russia, blinded by chimerical hopes of profits which they might expect from a radical change in the ancient foundations of ths Russian state and life, and not knowing what they were doing, acted to the advantage not of the country but of its enemies. Now the duty of the government in to preserve order in the state and protect the public confidence from all change In the true course of internal life. Therefore, any destruction of order and pence turd all meetings of an character must and will be stopped by nil legal means at the disposition of the authorities and those concerned in those disorders, especially persona employed in the government service, will be held responsible. ' 'Zemstvos and town statute and every form of institution and company must trot go beyond the limits provided for them and must not concern themselves jn questions in tha consideration of which they have no legal authority. Presidents of public meetings who allow consideration to rake place of mat ten not la their province on questions of general goverament are liable under the existing laws; and organa of the preen with the knowledge of the responsibility which rests upon them, must for their part Introduce the neces-csr- y calming effect on public life, wrhich has deviated in recent times from its proper course. WAR A YOKE ON PEOPLE. Moscow, Dec. 28. The Zemstvo congress of the Moscow government opened today. Prince Trubetskoi, the president, tn his opening address, dwelt up-f- n ths serious condition of Russia and ths regrettable war with Japan the end of which could not be anticipated in the near future, ns well as the grave economical crisis through which tho country Is passing, end the internal disorganization of the empire. All this, he sold, lay ns a heavy yoke on ths Russian people and produced the condition of strong nervous excitement under which It labored. Prince Trubetzkoi then proposed ths adoption and forwarding to Emperor Nicholas of a comresolution announcing that to memorate tha birth of tha czarevitch, ths Zemstvos had set aside ths capital sum of $150,000 to be devoted to the construction of new school buildings, and that the emperor should be asked to name the new foundation after his son. Alexia. Continuing, Prince Trubetzkoi declared that Minister of the Interior Sviatopolk-Mlrwky- 's assurance of confidence in the people hod given the Zemstvos new power to serve ths state. The Zemstvos had firm confidence in tha emperor. They believed the happy Jay was nigh when, through the Imperial will, the present bureaucratic regime, which had estranged the supietne power from the people would bo changed; the day on which the emperor would summon freely elected representatives of the people to participate in legislation through whoso tho Imperial power and greatness of the throne would be strengthened end the triumphant development of the fatherland assured. The development, the prince said, was dependent upon the Immutability of the principles of the law, the inviolability of persona, and equality of rights for ail citizens, as well as freedom of speech and faith, which would bring them a strengthening of the close and strong ties between the throne and tha people and enable, them to for the good of the fatherland.
