vate owners and divide it among peasants who
were without land The executive committee Of
the congress opposed the draft, especially the
section relating to the appropriation Of lands.
and in the final draft merely urged the necessity
of increasing the allotment of land and OF re-
forms in connection with the land tenure. The
final draft also urged the adoption Of measures
fo- popular educat:oa and for the establish
ment of State insurance for workingmen.
It was proposed that the congress should send
kilograms of sympathy to Prince Lvof,
marshal Of the nobility and one of the delegates

sian zen1stvo congress to the Emperor, who was
attacked in the recent disturbances at Balashoff.

Hale and Smock was to draw checks, indorse

gree the specific charge being that he drew a
