DISSATISFACTION IN THE BALTIC PROVINCES.
BERLIN, May 4th.-There is much agita-
ton in the Baltic provinces of Russia among
the peasants, who desire absolute ownership
of the land now held on lease. The Lutheran
pastors in many parts of Esthland have re-
fused to administer the oath of allegiance to
the Gar, or did SO with manifest reluctance.
The local press freely express the opinion
that the Government is incapable OF con-
tributing to the prosperity OF the country,
and regrets that the former advocates OF
separation have left no worthy successors.
Handbills have been distributed at Doerpat
calling upon the inhabitants of the Baltic
provinces not to swear allegiance until the
Gar has granted them laws and land rights
equal to those possessed by the Russian peo-
pie. 1t urges the people to remain united,
but to refrain from open rebellion. A mani
festo circulated at Vinday Court says Z" let
the people refuse to swear allegiance to the
Car before Russian officials. We cannot
longer be deceived like dogs. We must re-
main firm. We despise and denounce the
nobility, praying that they may disappear
from Esthland like snow in the spring Who
ever tears down this notice risks bis life"
The documents.are composed presumably by
peasants.
