AUTONOMY FOR POLAND
Resolution Indorsing Stand of Previous
Congress Adopted

BY Associated Press.
MOSCOW, Nov. 25.-Late tonight,
after two days devoted to a contin-
uous discussion of the Polish question,
the resolution proposed by the COM
mittee indorsing the stand of the previ-
Gus congress for autonomy but favor
ing reference of the whole question to
the national assembly for settlement,
was adopted unchanged by the zemstvo
congress.
In the debate preceding it's adoption
representative from Georgia in a
violent speech demanded autonomy for
the ancient kingdom of Georgia and
other Russian provinces. The Pan
Slavists emphasized this as an argu-
ment against beginning the disintegra-
tion of the empire with autonomy for
Poland. M. Artzibasheff of Kazan said
the Polish delegation declared that au-
tonomy did not mean separation, but he
asked: Where Is the guarantee for
this?"
Let the Russian nation not forget
that the Polish eagle once foated over
Moscow and that Russians swore allegi-
ance to the Polish king" he said.
M. Guchkoff, speaking on behalf of
Count Witte, supported the proposal
to remove martial law, and said that
the government was ready to do this
soon as 1t was possible, but it opposed
autonomy because he said it would
leave the Lithuanian, Teuton and other
nationalitieS in Poland at the mercy
of the Poles. The speaker, however,
accepted the proposition to postpone the
question Of autonomy until the national
assembly meets.

SEBASTOPOL REVOLT
is BEYOND CONTROL
Mutineers and Strikers Parading City and
Carrying Red Flags
Vice Admiral Chouknin Takes No Measures to Re-
store Order-Officers Hope That Sailors
Will Return to Their Duty

who threw the capital into a fever of
excitement some time ago by sending
dispatch announcing that a st. Bar
tholomew's night was to take place at
Hesingfors, the chief town of Nyland
for which he was removed from Fin
land.
The approval of these appointments
Is charged to M. Durnovo, minister of
the interior, and not to Premier Witte.
The fact is that under the present con-
ditlons the government is embarrassed
by the paucity of material to fill re-
sponsible positions and it is largely
choice between men practically all
of whom have done something to
arouse popular resentment.
A popular address is being prepared
rendering the thanks of the country to
Count Witte for his services at Ports
mouth and for his present endeavors to
pacify and regenerate Russia.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 25.-In view
of the alarming news received today of
a mutiny at Sebastopol, the proceed
ings of the zemstvo congress at Mos
cow and other developments In the
Russian situation paled into insignin-
canoe. The formidable revolt in which
sailors of the fleet, shore equipages and
infantry garrisons are participating ap-
pears at the present to be beyond the
power of Vice Admiral Chouknin, com
mander of the Black sea fleet, to con-
troll, as the dispatches say nothing of
counter measures being taken or of the
attitude of the other regiments of the
regular garrison.
The mutineers and riotous strikers
are parading the city with red flags
without interference and it may be pos
sible as was the case at Odessa that
the guns of the battleship Pateleimor
(formerly the Knaz Potemkine) and
other vessels of the Euxine fleet domin-
ate the situation and prevent active
measures being taken to quell the
mutiny, even If Vice Admiral Chouknin
has sufficient loyal troops at his dis
posal.
officers of the admiralty hope that
the mutiny may end like that at Cron-
stadt, when the sailors, after a night
of drunken revelry and disturbance, re-
turned to duty, for the most part with
out compulsion. But the Sebastopol
outbreak seems to be on different
scale.
The dispatches say nothing as to the
reasons for the mutiny or of the de"
mands of the mutineers and no details
are obtainable at the admiralty, though
the conjecture is advanced that de
mands for better food and the release
of reservists might partly be respon-
sible for 1t. The lack of good officers
is frankly given by one of the highest
officers of the naval staff as the prin-
cipal and underlying reason for the
alarming conditions in the Euxine fleet.
AS at Cronstadt practically all the
good officers were drafted for service
with the fleet in the far east during the
war and the force of commanding Of
ficers at Sebastopol is now only about
one officer to over 400 men. and many
of these are utterly incapable.
The revolt of the Brest regiment is
one of the most serious features or the
situation. 1t is the first time an infan-
try regiment, as whole, has mutinied,
and the question on the lips of everyone
in the capital is how long 1t Will be
before it is followed by others, perhaps
even the ST. Petersburg garrison.

zEMsTvoIsTs OPTIMISTIC
Believe Troubles viii Be Settled With
out Much Fighting

By Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 25.-The
interesting views of a number OF lead
ers of the zemstvo congress regarolnS
the present situation telegraphed TO
the Associated Press from Moscow are
generally optimistic in tone as to the
future of Russia. provided Count Witte
follows the policy outlined in the reso-
lutions of the congress. Some or them
contain suggestions for the formation
of a coalition ministry.
Prince Paul Dolgosoukoff, whose pal
ace at Moscow was the meeting place
of this and the previous zemstvo con-
crosses, is one of the most eminent hb-
erals in Russia He telegraphed:
"If Count Witte Is sincere he Will
adopt our program and If he does not
haggle over the bargain his position
will be greatly strengthened; he will
receive support throughout the coun-
try and will scatter the agrarian and
labor disorders and rowdyism and per-
haps worse, which have been inevitable
for some time, owing to the belatedness
of the reforms wrested by the low and
not voluntarily given from above. But
in spite of the revolution with It's ter
rors of bloodshed and the accompany
ing economic and financial crises, we
are passing through an emancipation
epoch from which Russia will emerge
strengthened and regenerated. The
zemstvo workers, tempered in the long
struggle against arbitrary power. must
exercise a steadying influence both
against reaction and license"
Alexander Stakovich of Orel, another
of Russia's coming men, takes even a
more optimistic view. He wired
owing to the profoundly religious
temperament of the Russian masses,
their peculiar good nature and inborn
slavic gentleness, which naturally pro-
duce indifference on the one hand and
the more peaceful, passive, revolution
ary methods of the twentieth century
on the other, l believe Russia will as
tonish the world by the strikingly
small number of victims by which she
will purchase her emancipation upon
thoroughly democratic lines and find
new solutions for national questions"
