A COMMISSION WILL INVESTI-
GATE THE STRIKE

st. Petersburg, Feb. 13.-The news
,lat Emperor Nicholas has endorsed
the scheme for the revival of the
zemsky Tabor, or ancient land parlia-
ment. which the old emperors con
voked in times of stress, has spread
through the city and created intense
satisfaction among the liberal classes.
The newspapers this morning were
filled with articles descriptive of this
ancient Russian institution, indicating
that word had gone forth that the gov
eminent had decided to listen to the
voice of the representatives OF the
people. Naturally there is some scepti-
cism as to whether the government
intends frankly to take the step; but
the general verdict is that If the en-
peror has succeeded in shaking OF re-
actirF airy influences and now proceeds
In good faith to summon the Zemsky
Tabor, he will rally to his support the
moderate liberals and perhaps arouse
wave Of genuine enthusiasm in the
country.
The Liberals are convinced that the
meeting of such a representative body
must be followed by important and
widespread reforms.
The anticipated renewal of trouble
among the workmen was not realized.
Neither strikers nor students made the
slightest attempt to demonstrate and
the city presented a normal appear
ance. The emperors creation Of a Joint
commission of masters and worlSmen,
