WARNING TO THE PEOPLE.
ZemStUoS Bidden to Keep Strictly
Within the Las.

st. Petersburg Dec. 27.-The following state
morning:
In the autumn Of this year there was a meet
Ing In St Petersburg of several zemstvos of the
various governments. who expressed a series of
desires concerning what were, in their opinion,
Indispensable reforms in the interior govern
ment of the empire These desires were made
the subjects OF action by members of various
other assemblies which met for the purpose
and also Notwithstanding the provisions of law
were considered at the deliberations of certain
town councils and zemstvos.
Thus, by the action of people who endeavored
to introduce discord into public and state life.
excitement arose in the minds OF certain sec
lions of society, chiefly among impressionable
youths. In certain towns OF the empire there
occurred a series of noisy meetings. which de-
manded the presentation to the government OF
certain demands which were tnadmissible in
the face of the sacred foundations of the laws
or the empire and the indestructible elements
which form the government. These sections of
the public made street demonstrations In bands
ana openly resisted the police and authorities.
Such movements against the existing order of
government, which have fallen adversely upon
the bulk OF the Russian people who are loyal
TO the everlasting foundations OF the existing
government, gave to the excitement above re-
terred to an undeserved Importance OF gem
eral tendency The Russian people involved In
this movement forgetful OF the grevous wear
