Special Gable Despatch 10 The sun.
ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. THE marshals
OF the nobility Of all the provinces have
arranged to n eet here on Sept. 10 to con-
slider the situation resulting from the con-
clusion Of peace.
The presidents of the zemstvos and
municipalities will assemble at Moscow on
Sept TO- 1t is the evident sense through
out the empire that the conclus on OF the
war requires reflection before its bearing
upon Russia's future government can be
understood. Deep dissatisfaction continues
In court circles over the position in which
Russia finds herself
Peace rejoicings are reported :fom all
over the country. Flags ire flying and there
are illuminations in many places
A deputation of residents Of Livonia
called upon the Minister of the Interior
to-day and asked for the removal Of martial
. law in that province and the recall OF the
Cossacks -...--...-.-
The Minister referred Them to tseyernor
General Trepoff, who. tod them that the
Government was resolved to suppress dis
turbannasS at yThaterar. loss- II Gfe.S> He
ordered the deputaton to leave st. Peters
burg Immediately.
LONDON, Sept. 2.-The st. Petersburg
correspondent of the Times says that never,
perhaps, in Russian history have the news
papers so boldly and clearly exp refseti the
plain truths Of the situation. 3D.. .. ....
The palm belongs to the fSloro, which,
though a persistent advocate of peace,
confesses that it's gladness is damned
by undying resentment that Russia has
been brought so low that abe should have
to rejoice because she was not compelled
to pay an indemnity. II adds:
Gan we ever forgive the regime which,
since Aug. 10, has begun to recede into the
past2 No.. We can, never forgive. The
shameful war and the wounds to national
pride will never he. eGaestl. Every time
they reopen we EEL shall feel hatred
not for the Japanese, with whom, doubt
less, we shall reach good understanding,
q. but for our own people who precipitated
the war without preparing for It. We
shall aever forgive the regime, and this
feeling, more than any other, carries the
assurance that we can never return to the
past" ..-.... ....
on every side the conviction prevails that
Russia and Japan are going to he friends.
Referring to the reports of rejoicing, the
correspondent says that it is noexaggera-
ton to state that with the soli1aryexception
of Prince Mestchersky. who heralds the
end Of the war as the beginning Of reaction,
not single note of rejoicing has been
heard.
All minds are directed to the coming
duna. The Government shows no slacken-
ing. According to an authoritative state
ment elections will have been held every
WHERE, including the frontier regions, by
December.
The total number of members OF the
first duma will be 500, including fifteen
from Poland. 1t is stated that an ukase
win shortly be ISSUED granting the right
Of meeting for electioneering purposes.
Mean while the press will be allowed the
widest measure of freedom. This is al
ready apparent from the tone of the edi-
torials on the peace agreement.
