GAR TALKS WITH

st. Petersburg, Nov. 26.-The unex-
pected may happen after all. The meet
ing of the zemstvoists 81 first Russian
congress- as it is now called, may in
deed work the inauguration Of new
era for Russia. The basis of such a
possibility is the significant fact that
late this afternoon the emperor received
in the palace at Tsarskoe-Selo, M. Shi.-
poff Of Moscow, M. Petrunkeivitch of
liver, M. Rogzianko of Ekaterinoslav
and Count Heiden, tour prominent mem
beers of the zemstvO congress, and lis
tened at length to their. views.
Emperor Impressed.
When Minister Of the interior Svia-
topolk -Mirsky presented the -zemstvo
memorial and resolutions on Nov. "a,
the emperor was SO deeply impressed,
as well by the contents of the docu-
ments, as by the character OF the sign
ers, that he Immediately expressed the
desire personally to receive deputa-
tion of four. -. --s
The zemsvoists, therefore, went to
Tsarskoe-Selo by imperial command. At
their audience, it is. understood, they
explained fully their position and reit-
Grated the views expressed by the me-
mortal that the salvation of the empire
from ruin by revolution lay in the adop-
tion of the general ideas expressed in

ly. impressed by what he heard, and
asked many questions.
While it is understood that he gave
no indication Of his purposes except the
sympathy he displayed, the members of
the deputation, when they returned to
st. Petersburg, were in high spirits.
Naturally, they declined to say any
thing for publication regarding the
visit. -.lE. . t. , ..
Sensation Is Tremendous.
The news that the delegation had
been given an audience by the emperor
spread like wildfire thru the city and
created tremendous sensation, re.
joising among the liberals and amaze
ment among the incorporating sup
porters Of the old regime. Earlier in
immediate effect Of the zemstvo meet
ing would likely be the realization of
the plan Of giving two elected zemstvo
representatives seats in the council of
the empire.
One of the prominent liberals who
participated in the congress declined
tonight to share in the jubilation OF
some Of his colleagues, and expressed
the opinion that victory was yet a long
way off, altho he said he believed it
was sure to come in the. end. He point
ed out that the declaration in the me-
mortal in favor Of the abrogation of
special privileges and for the equality
OF all classes before the law, when it
became known thruout Russia, was
bound to appeal strongly to the peas
antry.

Surveyor, in Ten Years Resi-.
dence, Saw No improvements
on Homesteads.

Portland, Ore, Nov. 26.-Another
support to the superstructure in the
government side in the trial of the
land fraud cases was supplied by the
testimony Of Robert J. Pierce, one Of
the surveying party that accompanied
A. w. Barber on his tour Of examina-
ton of the claims. His testimony was
a detail Of the trip made by the party
during the six days they scrambled
thru the virgin forests of township IL
stead improvements which certain
documents on file in the land depart
ment make it appear were made.
The testimony Of Pierce was cor
roboratiye Of that of Barber. given yes
terday, but it was stronger in that the
witness today testified that for ten
years he had resided on a HON estead of
his own in this territory and during
that time saw not one sight which led
him to believe that any such persons as
those whose names were now figuring in
court ever lived on the claims to which
they are accredited by patents issued by
the general land office.
When court resumed today the gov
eminent called A. W. Barber to the
stand and turned him over to the de-
Tense for examination.
Barber's examination brought out
the fact that there were several signs
of habitation in the township; that sew
eral deserted cabins were found, but
that none Of these improvements were
discovered on the claims in question.
