 Prince Sviatopolk- -Mirsky laid before the council the addresse and resolu- tions adopted by the congress of Zem- stvos which was held last month. Prince Svitopolk Mirsky, M witte and Count Solsky favored a policy of concession, but the others opposed such a policy on the grounds that the demands of Zemstvos were subversive of the essential principals of the au- tocracy.
 In the opinion in council 1t is-not the time to entertain proposals look ing to d change in the existing form of government while war is in pro- gress and 1t was decided to discourage political agitation. Measures will be drawn up relative to the distress con sequent upon mobilization
