ridlcullng the governments profession
Of solicitude for the workmen and re-
newlng their demands for the immcdl-
ate abolition OF martial law In Poland,

The text of the reply IL as follows:
THE council OF workmen's delegates
expresses establishment ut the emper-
ors fsvorite, who permits himself to
call the workmen Of st. Petersburg his
brethrer.s The proletariat is. not relat-
ed to him In any way.
Count White reveals the benevolent |
intentions Of the emperor toward the
working classes. The council reminds
the proletariat Of bloody Sunday.
Count Witte calls himself a man
who is benevolent toward us and wish.
Is our good. The council declares the
working classes have no need Of the |
benevolence Of court favorite. but
demand popular government on the
basis of universal, direct and secret
suffrage"
Count Whites attempt to negotiate
directly with the strike leaders has
come to naught. although he offered
in the case of the Cron-
stadt mutineers in the event of their
being condemned to death.
But the leaders refused all compro-
mise. "All or nothing" was their re-
,ponse.
The imperial ukase on the land ques-
lion just issued, although it wipes out
,bout $40.O00,000 Of the peasants ar
garages of debt. which under ordinary
circumstances might have been receiv-

The promises of additional lands are

ng peasants who, in the valleys of the
Don and Volgn. are again marching,
