PLANT OF THE POLES
SAD HISTORY or DISTRESSED
 NATION REVIEWED.
Delegation to Plead the Countrys Cause at st. Petepburw Issues Manifesto Asking
 Sympathy.

St. Petersburg, Nov 20.-The delega- tion of twenty-one prominent Poles, comprising representatives of all the principal parties in Poland except the Socialists and also including members of the Catholic, Evangelical and He- brew churches, which came to St. Petersburg to plead the cause of Poland, to make known the attitude of that country towards the government and to outline the demands which ought to be immediately granted in order to restore tranquility, issued a manifesto today to the Russian people reviewing the sad history of Poland in the last century, declaring that the Poles have no thought of separation or of inde- pendence and asking the support of all parties ,n Russia.
 The manifesto firmly declares that the normal and peaceful existence of Poland will only be made possible by the granting of autonomy, permission to use the Polish language in the schools and in the courts and by the local administration and the entrusting of the Poles with the government of the Kingdom. The assertions recently made in government communication regarding the causes which led to the declaration of martial law in Poland are categorically denied It is insisted that the country is not in state of revolution and that the acts of violence which formed the pretext for the im- position of martial law were not the acts of the Polish people as a whole. but of the same revolutionary elements which are to bc found throughout all Russia.
 Count Krassezinsky. leader of the delegation. who Is grand son of the famous Polish poet, declared to the Associated Press tonight not only that all the Polish parties recognized that the restoration of Polish influence was a dream impossible of realization, but that the economic future of the country was bound up with that of Russia and that if given autonomy and freedom from the domination of Russian admin istrators. the Poles would be willing to become faithful Russian subjects and share the same aspirations for the future development of the Empire and its expansion towards the Balkan and the Dardanelles.

 gedienne appeared at the Grand Opera

 is advertised as her farewell tour of
 America. she was greeted by an audi
 ence made up of Chicago's most repre-
 sentative citizens, who showed their ap-
 preciation of the work of the great act
 ress at every opportunity. Had the playhouse been twice the size that it Is every seat would have been occupied, as the "sold out" sign was hung up in front of the box office as early as 6 o'clock in the evening while hundreds of persons were standing in line and offering all sorts of premiums to those who had been fortunate enough to ob- tain seats.
 At the first nights performance of her weeks engagement Mime. Bern hardt produced La Sorcere," and al- though suffering fatigue from her long and tiresome journey from Paris to Chi- cago without stopping to rest in New York after leaving the boat showed she is still the same great actress as she | eral years ago.

MOSCOW zEMsrvo CONGRESS.
Attitude Toward The New Governmel
 Han Not Keen Decided.

Attitude Toward The New Government
 Has Not Been Decided.
 Moscow, Nov. 20.--The Zemstvo Con gress today devoted two long sessions to the discussion of the attitude 1t should adopt toward the new govern out coming to a decision.
 The debate indicated quite clearly, however, the appearance of two par ties as well as the lines on which the division ultimately will be made. though the relative strength of the parties was not shown. A score of orators participated in the debate and they were about evenly divided be- tween the advocates of the immediate convocation of constituent assembly and those who are supporting the new government. No set resolution was proposed but the discussion took the widest range.
 Prominent among the speakers for the Conservative party were M. Kras- offsky, president of the St. Petersburg Municipal Council: Prince Eugene Tro- betskoy, M. Nemriovski, Mayor of Sara toff. and Count Heyden, president of the Congress. These men with Demitri Shipoff, M. Guchkoff. M struve, M. Sta kovich and M. Rodicheff will form the nucleus around which will rally the members of the Party of Law and Order" the peace party and others who are in favor of coming to the support of Count Witte If sufficient guarantees be given for the fulfillment of the lib- critics promised. The speakers who opposed the giving of any support to Count Witte's government were less we'll known but they made up in bit- terness what they lacked in prestige.
 M. Roberti, of Tver, who for years has ben prominent in the struggle inc hn erNx lad o rnx O- mise party. declaring it would be need less haste to throw themselves into the arms of Count Witte, which he added, were none too clean" but he would be willing to cooperate if Count Witte would punish those accused of outrages.
 Prince Eugene Troubetskoy spoke at considerable length. He declared that the present was no time for hair splitting but that all parties should place confidence in the ministry which would not dare let go thrilled the promise in the imperial manifesto, of which It's existence was based.
 Perhaps the ministry was not alto- gether satisfactory, he said; but he asked his hearers to place themselves in tho position of Count Witte in his endeavor to form a cabinet when the persons whom he desired to partici- pate in 1t declined to accept office ex- cept on conditions with which the Premier was unable to agree.
 The Prince proceeded to warn the congress that It's non-support of the government would create the impress sion that all Russia was discontented with the Emperor's manifesto. He proposed that the government be asked to approve a committee selected by the Zemstvos, the municipalities and the higher educational establishments to elaborate regulations for the State Douma.
