Russians Want a zemsky zobor.

st. Petersburg, June 15.-The Lib
eral newspapers are taking the deci-
sion of the government to make the
best terms possible out of the accep-
tance are offered a surrender and are
following up their advantage by re
doubling their demands for a represen-
tative assembly arguing that the bu-
reaucracy which has proved its incCm-
petence to make war successfully is
equally incapable of concluding a cred
liable peace. The Russ, now the leader
of the constitutionalist papers, declares
that the government without the peo
ple's support is impotent to continue
the war and will be compelled to ac-
cept any terms. Only a national as
sembly, it insists, can now save the
situation because only with the sane
ton of the people can exorbitant con.
ditions be successfully resisted.
Even the reactionary Sviet is car
ried off its feet by the tide and the
people are asking for a Zemsky Zobor
The Sviet, however, does not ask for
Zemsky Zobor in order to make
peace, but to secure the support of the
people to continue the war.

Therefore unfair history and other
pernicious publications gained en-
trance into the schools and homes or
nearly every section north and south,
and a disastrous Inflammation OF the
sectional spirit was the result. The
protest of confederate associations has
caused Investigations which resulted
in the appalling discovery that the
South was permitting its sons and,
daughters to be taught that the gross
charges against the Southern people
of rebellion, treason and war atrocities
and the like, were historical facts.
This discovery was followed by ap-
peals to boards of education and other
civil authorities, to southern self-re-
spect and to honorable publishers RssAas-
a result that the =1.ost 1~fensive OF the
false histories have been driven from
Southern schools. This conference
body has been pleased by the changed
attitude of many Northern leaders and
honorable publishers and will welcome

Washington, June 15.-Pressure is
being brought to bear on Japan to in
duce her to fix the sum she will de-
mand as an indemnity for the pending
war at as low a figul in cash as is
possible under the circumstances. This
pressure is being exerted and espe-
cially by European governments, but
President Roosevelt, it is intimated
IN an important quarter also has ad-
vised the Japanese government that
moderation in her demand for a cash
indemnity not only would facilitate the
be regarded by the powers with par
ticular favor. The payment by Rus
sia of any such cash indemnity as a
billion dollars not only would embar-
rass seriously the st. Petersburg gov
ernment, but probably would disturb
the finances of the entire western
world. Indeed, it has been suggested
that such a payment to all intents and
purposes, might render Russia a prac-
tical bankrupt.
The opinions and views of the Unit
ed States and other powers on this
subject have been permitted to reach
the principal advisers of the japanese
emperor.
Some discussion of cash indemnity
as has occurred, has been merely sug-
gestiye of conditions likely to be en-
countered by Japan when she shall
formulate her peace terms. Thus far,
the Japanese government has refrain
ed from indicating the precise form
of her terms as it is not her purpose,
naturally, to forearm the shrewd and
powerful antagonist which she is to
meet on the field of diplomacy
