 Moscow. Dec 2S. The zemstyo ad, journed indefinitely yesterday even ing, after the adoption of resolution as follows:
 This zemstvo, deeply moved by the governments note ill regard to pro- ceedings at zemstvo meetings is una ble to continue its business with the necessary calm and therefore adjourns sine die,2
 The resolution was signed by thirty four delegates. Seven. delegates voted against 1t.
 Prior to putting this resolution, Pres, ident Truhetzkoi said that two dis sentert statements had been appended to the minutes of the previous sitting. One had a single signature attached to if. The other had thirteen. The lattel was as follows: ssWe find it inpossi- bIe to sign the proposed address to the emperor. Together with the great mass of the Russian people we firmly believe in the ancient principle of the eTaperor.s autocracy and unconditional Iy repudiate any attempt to limit or be- little 1t, regarding it as fne fundamen; tai basis of Russia's state life. Every change which aims at the limitation Of tho imperial power cannot but be received by the people in the most hQs- tile spirit because they cannot c1lls cefge~ any other form of government than asltoeracy and will not permit any alien institutions 10 be imposed upon them that would be doing violence to their ancient ideals ana views.
 No less firmly do we believe that the autocratic power will find the right way to terminate the disorganization of the state and public life and introduce reforms corresponding with the nat, ural needs of the people without re course to radical rupture of the eX' fsting order of things m the state as the present moment, when Russia IS involved in serious war.
 i've regard the attempt to inaugu- rate radical government reforms as particularly inopportune. The whole energy of the people must be concen- trated toward the attainment ot the ooaI-namely. the defense of the honor dignity and might of the fatneriana AIl Russia must rally round the throne and help 1t to extricate the country from it's serious plight Tn utilize such moment fol carving out radical state reforms which would bring to head the inter nal disorders from which the country is already suffering sufficiently. By adopting a petition of a political na. f1re the zemstyo quite exceeds the limit of its powers and deprives itself hv openly infringing the laws of the right of protesting against interfer. ence in the conduct of the Zenastvo,s $ own affairs
 The Zemstyo congress of the Mos, COW government opened December 26 Prince Trubetzkoi, the president, in his opening address, dwelt upon the serious condition of Russia and the re. grettable war with Japan.
 Prince Trubetzkoi also expressed the view that the Zemstvos believed the happy day was nigh when through the imperial will the present bureau cratic regime would be changed ant that the emperor would summon free Iy elected representatives of the peo pie to participate in legislation, thus strengthening the close and stronl ties between the throne and the peo ole. This address was adopted by 2 majority of the votes in the congress
