st. Petersburg, March 2J-The po-

peror Nicholas held u meeting of the
ministers yesterday to consider the
state of public affairs. The czar pre-
sided at the council which was con-
vened at the Tsarskoe- Sele palace. 1t
was decided not to abolish the law for
drafting recalcitrant students into the
army, but for the present to refrain
from applying the law. 1t was also
resolved to revise the university
statute. Threatening letters have
been received by Lieutenant Gen
eral kourOpatkine, minister of
war; NJ. y. V. Mouravieff, minister of
justice, and NJ. Sipiagnine, minister of
the interior. Renewed demonstrations
on great scale are expected tOmOr-
