Granted to the Governor of a Russian
Province.

granted Minister of the Interior ton
Plehewe, and the governor of the pro-
vince of Tver, special plenary powers

vantage of their position to stir up
feeling against the government This
was the immediate cause for granting
the plenary powers, which permit the
minister and the governor to make ap-
pointments to district meetings, to ex-
pei obnoxious persons, to dismiss Off
