NICHOLAS TRIES TO STOP MOVE
THAT MAY COST HIM HIS
THRONE.
vLADIvOSTOCK is DOOMED
JAPS LAND NORTH OF CITY AND
development OF FORTRESS
is IMMINENT.

ST. Petersburg, July 20. - A sensa-
tional rumor is current here that &
large party of the zemstvoists and
Journalists at Moscow are in favor OF
the proclamation of the deposition OF
Emperor Nicholas and the establish
ment of regency for the Grand Duke
Alexis Nikolaievitch, the infant son OF
the emperor, under four grand dukes.
1t is alleged that for this reason the
meeting of the all-Russian zemstvoist
and doumaist congress has been pro-
hibited.
ZemstVo VIII Meet.
Moscow, July 20.-It is understood
that the subjects to be considered at
the congress of zemstvo representa-
tives here include perfected draft OF
the proposed constitution. 1t is said
that it follows closely the main prin-
ciples of the drafts already published,
namely, two chambers, the upper to
be elected on local government cleo
torates which appoint the zemstvos
and municipalities, and the lower to
be elected by universal franchise.
The authorities refuse to sanction
the assembly, but the representatives
persist in meeting, taking their stand
on the cars speech of June 10.
Excitement Prevails.
Considerable excitement prevails
among the peasants in several dis
tricts of Riazan province, who have
risen against the land owners. The
peasants, who demand bread, usually
proceed in a body to the neighboring
land owners and carry off all the rye,
leaving the other grain.
The nervous tension throughout the
agricultural regions is intense. The
authorities are powerless except at
those points that are within reach OF
the military stations.
Witte Leaves Russia.
ST. Petersburg, July 20.-M. White
had final interview with Emperor
Nicholas at Peterhoff yesterday. For
eign Minister Count I.amsdorff was
present, showing the complete har-
mony of views between M. White and
the foreign minister. M. White leaves
ST. Petersburg for Paris to-day, accom-
panied by Nine. White. At Paris they
will meet their daughter, who is the
wife of the secretary of the Russian
legation at Brussels. Nine. Witte has
no intention of joining her husband
later in America
Sincere Effort for Peace.

vices, either from this country or from
abroad have reached President
Roosevelt which would warrant, even
by indirection, pessimistic view Of
the result of the forthcoming peace
conference between the plenipoten-
tiaries of Japan and Russia. On the
contrary, it can be said that such adj
vices as the president has received
indicate that a sincere effort on the
part of the representatives Of both
belIigerent nations will be made to
reconcile their differences and negoti-
ate a treaty of peace that will be per
manent.
The terms that Japan will propose
have not been made known, even to
Mr.. Roosevelt, and they probably will
not be officially until the conferees as
semble as a peace commission. That
the terms will not be drastic is be-
Iieved generally in administration
circles.
VIadivostock Is Doomed.
London, July 20.-The Toxic CORES
pondent of the Daily Telegraph says
that Japanese army has been landed
north of Vladivostock and that com
plete development Of the fortress is
imminent.
