CzAR REALIZES THE SITUATION.
Is Giving Zemstvo Memorial Grave
Consideration-Wear Of Warfare.

ST. PETERSBURG, November 2o-Ac-
cording to the best information ootalnaple
the zemstvo memorial is still under conslo-
Grafton at Tsarskoe Selo. Emperor Nlchoias
is said to be under no illusions regarding
the gravity of his decision, and Is giving
the memorial the most careful and most
earnest consideration. BY some he Is rep
resented as greatly concerned and gr1eveo
over the situation, both at home and abroad,
to be weary of the war and unrest In the
interior, ready to welcome any honorable
means to bring the war to a conclusion, and
anxious to remove the causes for discon-
tent and secure tranquility at home.
The influences surrounding him, however
are said to be almost entirely hostile to con-
cessons. The statement made in these dls-
patches several days ago that the revolu-
tionarieS had announced truce pending
the decision of the government on the ques-
ton of convoking sort of elective natlonal
assembly to pass upon the zemstVo pro-
gram is confirmed from several quarters,
and fear is expressed that If the whole
Zemstvo program is rejected there may be
a revival of the terrorisuc duel
The emperor is said to have been ac-
quainted with Interior Minister Svlatopolk-
Mirskys irrevocable decision not to remain
in the ministry if the policy of liberalism
on which he went into office is abandoned
The reactionists and beaurocrats profess
to see no danger in the present situation,
declaring their belief that the agitation pro-
voked by the zemstvoists will soon sink out
of sight and affairs resume their normal
sway. If concessions are made they say
they will be slight and will mean little.
Prince atopolk-Mirsky himself, al
though for different reasons, is represented
as also opposed to the radical departure of
liberal regime.
According to his opinion it must come
gradually and without shock. In this
spect his opinion is shared by many liberals,
who believe that concessions in the right
direction must inevitably lead to a full
realization of their hopes. Others believe
that the real crisis will be postponed to the
end of the war.
No Middle Ground Possible.
The Associated Press correspondent today
saw NJ. Pobedonostseff. procurer general of
the Holy Synod, who is credited with hav
ing informed the emperor in connection
with the presentation of the Zemstvo me-
mortal to his majesty, that no middle
ground is possible at the present moment.
This remarkable man, who has exercised
SO much influence in the councils of the
empire is now a mere shadow, almost fOur
score, and his tail, withered form seems
bowed beneath the weight of his finely
chiseled, dome-like head. Nevertheless fire
still smolders in the sunken caverns of his
gray eyes. An impression of wondeful
virility still ciings to the ghost like figure.
