ZEMSTVOS' CHIEF

ST PETERSBURG, Dec 2s.-The
Emperor's autographic reply to the tele-
gram sent by NJ. Tchernikoff, president
of one of the zemstvos, expressing the
hope of those bodies for liberal reforms,
is regarded in St. Petersburg as a per-
emptory order from the autocrat to
cease such outside pressure on the gov
ernment and a warning that presidents
attempting to use such measures will
be punished more severely than was
Prince GalitZin, mayor Of Moscow, who
was censured for allowing the city
council to discuss the desirability of a
constitution.
Reform circles concur in the opinion
that the telegram sent by TchernikoT
was tactless 1t is understood that sew

Representative Thomas of Iowa was
one of the Presidents callers this morn

Mr.. Thomas believes that there should

Interstate Commerce Commission power
to regulate freight rates where there Is
discrimination shown
he does not think. however. that such
a measure viii get through at this ses-

question Is such A big one that IL would
take much time to discuss it fully.
