NO HOPE FOR AUTONOMY

not to be permitted to become second Finland. The Russian government. in 1ished this morning. serves notice on the Polish nationalists that for good or i'll, the ancient kingdom of Poland has now become an integral part of the Russian empire and that while the gov ernment intends to observe fully the national rights of Poland, any attempt to wrest Polish autonomy from the Emperor would be considered an act of revolt and would lead the Poles into the sorrowful paths trodden by them in 1881 and 1863.
 The Russian authorities recognize the gravity of the movement in which two antagonistic, parties. the national ists and socialists. under the leader ship of such Poles as Henrik Stenkfe- wicz, the novelist have joined forces and they declare that none of the ben- efits of the emancipation manifesto can be conferred on a country "in revolt.
 The ukaz says:
 Tn accordance with the ukaz the exceptional laws hindering the free de- veiopment of the nation were abro- gated and the Poles were given the same rights as the Russians. Educa- tional, municipal and judicial reforms were reformed, and stipulated by the decisions arrived at by the committee of ministers on June IS and by tho ul<az of ~April regarding religious liberty.
 "The general measures adopted by the government were extended to Po- land, which also was given the right of participation in the douma and free- dom of meeting. Finally, on October 30, the Poles were fully recognized as free citizens. thereby obtaining full opportunity to prove their capacity. By participating in great creative work. they would consequently have gradual- iy attained the ulterior progress of the nation.

Rejecting the idea of working in common with the Russian people in the douna they are demand I ing, in series of revolutionary meet rings, the complete autonomy of Po- land with a social constitutional diet thereby aiming at the restoring of the Kingdom of Poland. Two political par ties. one socialist and one nationalist. who are opposed to each other, are united in this aspiration, which is up- held by many writers and popular ora-- tors. who carry the people with them
 Tn different districts of the Vistula there have been numerous processions, the participants in which carried Po- fish flags and sang revolutionary songs. At the same time there has begun the arbitrary exclusion by the Poles, of the State language, even in Government institutions where its employment is provided for by law. In certain locali- ties bands of workmen and peasants are pillaging the schools. the State spirit shops and communal buildings, destroying all correspondence in the Russian language. Representatives of local authorities, in defending order and public safety have been watering the earth for a year past with their blood by falling victims to political crimes and the reasonable part of Po- fish society is impotent against the growing pressure of revolutionary or- ganizations.
 The Government will not tolerate attacks on the integrity of the empire, insurrectionary plots or acts ofviolence. It declares in a decisive manner that as long as the troubles in the Vistula districts continue, and as long as that part of the population adhering to po- litical agitators continues Its present sway, these districts shall receive none of the benefits resulting from the mani festos of August IS and October 80, 1905.

 The future If the Polish people thus depends upon themselves. The Gov- ernment, having a desire to continue safeguarding the integrity and national rights of the Polish people extended by recent legislative acts, expects the peo- pie to recover from the political in- toxication which has come over the Kingdom of Poland, the population of which has become a prey to the agita- tors, while at the same time it is put ting the people on guard against enter ing a dangerous path which unfortu- nately they have not for the first time trod."
