st, Petersburg. Nov. 14-Emperor
Nicholas and the Russian court will
not come TO st. Petersburg this winter,
short time ago il was announced
that the emperor was about To Teturn
TO the winter palace, in an annex OF
which Count White has installed him
self, but his majesty has now decided
TO 90 from Peterhof back to TsarskOe-
SelO, where he has been living for al
most two years. with the exception of
the last months spent at PeterhOf EX-
cept on the occasion of the ceremony
of blessing the waters last January
when the emperor narrowly escaped in
jury owing 10 d mysterious charge of
grape being fired in the direction of the
imperial party by a saluting battery,
the emperor has not stepped inside the
winter palace for over eighteen
months. His decision not to come to
the capital is regarded as unfortunate,
not only for its moral effect, but be-
cause ii keeps him surrounded by court
influences and out of close, immediate
touch with Count White. who at the
present time should have daily. almost
hourly, conference with the emperor.
Members of his majesy's encourage
have strongly advised against the en-
peror being in st. Petersburg when the
national assembly meets. as we'll as on

Another Strike Proposed.
The Polish delegation here is working
hard To secure the cooperation of the
Liberal, Social Democrats and work
mems organizations iii another general
political strike i'm aid of the Poles bat
tie for autonomy, but thus far, while
they have met with much sympathy,
no action has been taken for their as
sistance, as Count White, whom the de-
putatiOn saw, was extremely firm in
declaring emphatically that the move
ment would do no good for Pland un-
der complusion Slnd that martial law
could not be abolished until the sepa-
ratist movement ceased. The premier
declared that the most the Poles could
expect in addition 10 the rights granted
under the reform manifesto was a Sc
parpate general Zemstyo for Poland and
municipal disagreement.
Languish in Prison.
The Polish delegates say that over
1000 Polish prisoners are Ianguishins
in the iails of Warsaw. The radical
press today is not sparing in denuncia-
ton Of the governments action in put
ting all Poland under martial law. de

the specific requirement of the reform
manifesto but il is evident that the
governor has recovered his nerve and
is determined to use severe measures If

ceptional powers conferred on the
aides-de-camp of the emperor, who viii

spreading in proof OF this. AT the same
time half dozen governors, including
the governors Of Odessa, TOmsk and

a meeting held at the residence of the
metropolitan Antonius formulated and
dispatched an appeal for mercy to the
emperor.
A number of army officers, indignant
at the action of Lieutenant FrOlOff, of
the imperial horse guards. who recently
sabred Professor Tarle, of the
Polytechnic institute. have joined in a
proposal TO boycott Froloff and all the
the other officers of the horse guards

The boycott is TO include refusal to
salute the officers of the horse guards
and the exclusion of the latter from all
military festivals and assembly rooms.
