AUTOCRATS DESPERATE
RUMOR OF PALACE PLOT.
Efforts to PreUent Sanction of
Reforms bu the Csdr.

St Petersburg. March 3.-The reactionary
cabal at Tsarskoe selo. headed by Count Igna-
tieff. General Trepoff commandant of the pal
ace. and General Prince Putiatin, made last
stand at the recent meeting OF the special coun-
ell to defeat the decision OF the Emperor to in
corporate in the fundamental laws OF the en-
pire the provision that hereafter no law shall
be effective without the consent of the National
Assembly and the Council OF the Empire. Ac-
cording to some reports, their efforts were not
without the sympathy Of the Empress. Count
Ignatieff made a last personal appeal to the En-
peror. warning him bluntly that on the eve of
the assembling Of the National Assembly such
step would mark the end of the autocracy.
The Emperor however. remained firm, ordered
vote to be taken, and when the proposition
carried his majesty formally confirmed the
decision
This cabal is represented to have been driven
to desperation by the defeat. and there are sin
lister rumors of an attempt at palace revolu-
ton. In high quarters. however such a possi-
bility is secuted. who present at
the council said to-day:
No matter what the cabaI might secretly de-
sire with only the support OF a part of the Off
GERS of the guard regiments, 1t would never dare

The Emperor's determination to abide by his
promises of October 30 was announced resoutey
In answer to a reactionary delegation from
Ivanovo Voznesensk which asked him to with
draw his manifesto and to govern the country as
his fathers had done In reply to the deputation
the Emperor said:
The reforms promulgated October 30 are ad-
vanclng without deviation. While the rights
accorded the people remain unaltered, my auto
cratic power will ever remain as it always has
been.
The Emperors alluson to the retention of all-
tocratic power refers probably to a change in
the definition Of the imperial powers under the
fundamental law in which. though the word "lln-
limited" is eliminated. the expression auto
cratic is retained. the official explanation being
that the title "autocratic." which was assumed
when Russia shook off the Tartar yoke denotes
independence Of other sovereigns and has no ref
erence TO internal conditions.
The Cabinet to-day decided to establish local
Gals. zemstvo leaders and peasants, to assist
the agrartan banks to devise means for the more
