All Eyes on Moscow.

St. Petersburg, Nov. 22.-All eyes
continue to be riveted on Moscow,
where tle struggle in the zemstvo con-

Premier Witte is continuing, Some Of
the most powerful men in this con
gress are urging the necessity for ral-
lying the moderate sentiment in sup
port of the government but the ire
concillable radical element appears to
make a split inevitable.
Should a resolution to support the
premier be carried, it seems almost GER
tain that it will be coupled with condi-
tiOns. The idea of constituent as
sembly seems to havebeen abandoned,
but not the demand for universal suf-
frage, to which the premier is likely
to yield.
The only direct proportion of tlus
far before the congress is Prince Dol
gokoroff's plea for support of the gov
ernment so long as it follows the prin-
ciples of a constitutional regime. But
the section under the leadership of M.
Roberti insists that portfolios be Civ,

Moscow, Nov. 22.-The excitement
among the peasants in the central and
southeastern provinces is spreading
rapidly and it is feared it will be inn
possible to suppress the movement
which promises to develop into a gen
eral uprising The revolutionists
among the peasants are industriously
spreading the story that tne imperial
reform manifesto really decreed a Ill
vision of the lands but that the mobiles
Intelligencit and Jews distorted 1t and
took all the freedom for themselves
and the peasants therefore have the
right to possess themselves of the
lands which the emperor granted them.
The peasant congress will assemble
here tomorrow. 1t is largely under the
domination of men from the villages
who, during residence in the cities
have become imbued with sociahstic
ideas. These men are preaching the eX-
pulsion of the landlords and the di-
vision of the estates and are advocat-
ing the refusal of the peasants to pay
taxes until a constituent assembly is
called Some of the radical mem
bers of the zemstvo congress are in
