a proclamation to the workmen. This
was issued later. II is signed by NJ. Kokovt-
zefr and Gen. Trepof. 1t says:
The workmen should assist the Govern
ment in tranquillizing labor for the improve
ment OF their condition. This they can
do only by keeping apart from those TO
whom alone disturbances are necessary,
who are alien to tho true interests Of the
workmen, alien to the real good OF the
country and only use these as prete1t
to provoke disorders Let them return TO
their ordinary labor, which is as needful
to the country as for the workers for with
out it they and their wives and children
must suffer distress
Let the working people know that their
needs are az near the Enperor's heart
as those Of all his Majesty's true subjects,
that only recently the Emperor WAS pleased
Of his own personal free will 10 command
that the question was TO be taken up of
workmen's insurance, a scheme which
would help them in case Of disablemeut
or sickness, that this measure does not
exhaust the Emperor's care for the we'll
being Of the working classes, and that at
the same time an order from the Emperor
was sent to the Ministry Of Finance for
drafting law shortening the hours of labor
and for the elaboration OF such measures
as will make it legally possible for the work
ing classes to discuss and declare their
needs"
ukase from the Emperor is expected
on Friday asking the workmen to be calm
because of the foregoing arrangement,
and saying that he is celebrating over
their conditions and work.
RUSSIAN EDITORS APPEAL.
The proprietors and editors Of the prin-
cpal st. Petersburg newspapers, which
are still not published, to-day sent deputa-
ton to visit Prince Mirsky. NJ Suvorln.
proprietor of the Noroo VremgG headed
the deputation.
He declared on behalf Of the press of
Russia that as a result of the ssnguinary
events Of the last few days they had reached
the positive conclusion that there are now
two governments in Russia one of the
Car and the other of officials. who, ig-
norant and careless of the needs of the
nation, are incapable Of successfully carry
inC on the war IN which they have involved
Russia. NJ. Suvorin added:
we are deeply convinced Of the i'm
Jerative necessity for surmoning the repre-
sentative heads Of all Glasses and all sections
of the community. The ukase Of Dec. IL
promised liberty to the press, but the press
to-day remains in the hands Of the police
censors. Had the Russian press been per-
mitted TO set forth the full facts of the
workers agitation we believe that things
would never have come to such pass that
Russian soldiers fred on unarmed Russian
people.
Il am convinced that the whole Russian
people are behind the liberal movement.
The army, which has its roots in the people,
will make common cause with them
Here Prince Mirsky interrupted the
sneaker. saving:
But the troops fired on the strikers
when they were commanded to-
Eyes, i" replied NJ. suvorin, but that will
not last long. Tomorrow or next week
the soldiers and officers will join hands
with the people. Then tho struggle will
be over. II there were even five energetic
men in Russia to-day it would have been
easy for them to constitute themselves a
provisional government.
we know your Excelency is an honest
we'll intenuoned gentleman. We hope you
will repeat our words to his Majesty. We
implore him to grant tho press freedom
to set forth freely and truthfully tho events
Of the last few days"
