The second and last evening of tho

the neighbOring towns of Readfield and
Windsor famous. The livestock eXhib-

| Of Russian Liberties Only Means Of
Egress from Present Situation.

St Petersburg. Nov IS Premier
Fits is in constant communication
with VI. Guichkof ANA his other lieu
tenants, at Moscow, in efforts to COM
promise some of the declarations in the
resolution adopted, yesterday, by the
zcemstvo congress. He has not hope
that the policy recommended By the
congress will be completely satisfac-
tory t. the government as the consti-
tutional democrats have the bit in
their teeth and will not listen even to
the words of their former idol, NJ. Pet
runkevitch. Nevertheless the declara-
ton in favor Of universal suffrage and
the Transformation of the national as
semhiy into constituent assembly will
gradually grow less distasteful to
Count Witte.
Many Liberals believe the premier
must make a show of opposition for its
effect upon the Emperor and court, but
it is as privately known that he has
been convinced for sometime that the
elaboration of q constitution contain
ing the charter of Russian liberties to
which the Emperor will swear allegi-
anco is the safest if not the only egress
from the present situa ton. 1t would at
the same tine bUttresS the government
against Il possible attempt at reaction

against the revolutionary fcfces on the
other.

moderate Conservative majority should

missed the governors of Yaroslav, Est

The extreme Radical wing of the
Zemstvoists who are affiliated with So

propositions of the majority to support
the government under any circum-
stances as being the basest treachory.
Premier White is being bombarded by
kilograms from Poland praying for the
abolition Of martial law and the grant

Lithuanians to make similar demand.

BY MAJORITY OF 20
Zemstvo Congress Approves Impe-
rial Manifesto in Russia and
Demands a Direct Ballot.

Moscow, Nov. 23.-By a scanty ma
jority OF 20. the Zcmstvo Congress, to-
day, accepted the first sections of the
resolution drafted by the executive
committee declaring the solidarity of
the Congress with the principles of
the imperial manifesto of Oct. so and
assuring the government of the sup
port of the great ma jority of Zemstvos
and municipalities in carrying into eff
feet the liberties promised by the
manifesto, but laying down as the sole
means of guaranteeing the authority
of the douma and restoring order in
the country the election of represen-
tatives by Il general, direct. equal and
secret ballot and the formal grant to
the first douma of the power to elab-
crate constitution for the empire.
The friends of Count White on the
floor made a stout fight against the
provision for direct ballot, the one
concession which the premier consid-
cred it impossible to grant. but this
provision was carried over their heads
by two-thirds majority
Tfe resolution in it's final form is
substantially the same as cabled, yes
terday The committee to which it
was referred for further consideration
made numerous alterations in the
PHYSIOLOGY. but little change in tie
substance, except the insertion of
demand for the immediate abolition OF
martial law in Poland as among the
measures deemed to be Imperative be-
fore the convocatior Of the dourlG.

IN POLICE CIRCLES.
One OHer.der Before His Honor-En.
forcement Deputies Active.

Richard Heating WAS the only of
fender, who appeared before Judge
Larrabec, yesterday morning. Richard
was arrested in Randolph. by Officer
Conner. ana he was charged with over
Indulgence in what had been sold him
for whiskey. After pleasant little
chat with the judge, the respondent
left for Augusta. where he will remain
for about two months.
Endorsements Deputies Clifford and
Pare and Officer Locke went on the
trail for liquor, yesterday, and devoted
a greater part of the forenoon, to the
residential part of the city. They
made one or two calls. but found no
evidence of hidden liquor. These in
formal visits were made more as
matter of prccaution rather than be-
cause the officers really expected to
find any goods intended for illegal sale.
A rather amusing incident happened.
yesterday afternoon, at the ponce sta
ton. Several of the deputies and other
officers We're gathered there. and sud-
denly their ranks were broken by a
burly countryman. who rushed to the
desk, and in hurried tones claimed,

chaser of the ardent spirit, looked
about fingered long enough for look
of terror to ovcrspread his countenance
then rushed for the door.
Several knights of the road appeared
at the station. early last evening, and
were accommodated with lodgings.
