CZAR TO THE ELDERS.
Russia's Ruler Cautions Them on
Rights of Property.


ST PETERSBURG, September 15.-The
czar yesterday summoned deputations of
the elders of the cantons and villages in
the governments of kursk, Poltava, Khar-
kOff, Tchernigof, Orel and Voronezh to
meet him at the house of the governor of
Kursk. When the elders We're assembled
the car addressed them personally as fol-
lows:
Last spring peasants in some districts of
the provinces Of POltava and kharkoff
plundered neighboring estates. The culprits
will meet the punishment they deserve
The authorities Will not In future allow
such disturbances to occur. OF that 1 am
sure. 1 desire to remind you of the words
my late father at the time of his coronation
spoke to the cantonal elders: Listen to
your local nobility and do not believe SEN
sational nonsense.
Remember" continued the czar, that a
man gets rich not by seiZing the property
of others, but by honest labor and thrift
and by living according to the command
ments of God. Repeat all l have said to
you to the other people of your villages
and tell them further that l will not leave
their real needs unheeded."
The czar visited the town of Kursk this
morning and met with an enthusiastic re-
ception. After the customary function of
the presentation of bread and salt. his
majesty visited the Znamenski monastery
and the community Of the Red Cross Sis
ters of Mercy. He subsequently attended

WILL NOT CALL ON THE POPE.
Reported Intention of the Car Causes
Stir in Rome.

ROME. September 15.-The announce
ment that the czar when he returns the
visit of King Victor Emmanuel will not
call on the pope has seriously disturbed the
Vatican. II Is said that the Russian MIN
lister to the holy see will purposely be abb
sent from Rome during the sojourn Of the
ear here so as TO render it easier to ig-
more the Vatican.
PaDal diplomacy is doing its utmost to
prevent such an awkward incident, which
is attributed to the desire Of the car to
show his displeasure at the pope's action In
Withdrawing the papal nuncio from The
Hague because he was not invited 10 take
part in the peace congress.
Replying to the request of the French
ambassador to the Vatican, who wished to
secure for a French newspaper man an in
teryiew with the pope. the papaI secretary
of state. Cardinal RampolIa, in explaining
the impossibility of so doing. said:
The pope resolved months ago not to
utter a word himself and ordered us not to
utter word which might be interpreted
either for or against French policy or serve
the interests Of party politics."

NEW YORK, September 15.-As a result
of the conference which Senator Plat held
Saturday afternoon and evening with re-
publican leaders of this state the an
nouncement is made that the previous
decision not to indorse the President for
denomination at the state convention is
reconsidered and that the Endorsement will
be given.
Senator Platt's declaration that the Presi-
dent would not be indorsed was made two
weeks ago today Since that time there
has been some lively work in inside re-
publican circles. Finally, the senator found
Il desirable to get the advice of his lieu
tenants on a situation that seemed to be
full of promise Of trouble He called the
conference of Saturday evening.
The cause assigned for the change of
mind on the part of the republican man
ayers is that the interests Of the republi-
can state ticket should receive first con-
sderation a the hands of the managers,
and it is deemed best for these interests
that the friends of President Roosevelt
Should not be alienated by Withholding the
