RUSSIAN UNIVERSITY CRISIS

 PENSION OF STUDIES

About Revolutionary Conclaves.

St. Petersburg, Nov. 5.--The acute. ness of the present university cris.s con- tinues, and threatens eventually to re- suit in the suspension of studies. The government again has addressed the faculty of the university of St. Peters, burg with an explicit statement in which 1t sets forth it's intention of shut ting down the university atonce if out siders persist in their demands, and are permitted to trespass upon the campus, to take part in mass meetings, and to bring about revolutionary conclaves within the precincts of the university
 A big mass meeting was held to-day. and continued until late hour to pro- test against the expulsion from St. Petersburg of Jews who do not belong t othe university and who desiretoN at tend the lectures, on the ground that they have not the right of residence in the capital, A resolution was adopted making light of the threats to close the university and recommending that the faculty admit into it's sittings upon student affairs delegates empowered to represent the student body. License for this meeting was granted by the pre- feet ofthe city only after earnest solic- itation by M. Bergman, the rector of the university
 The faction of so-called "academists'' is growing. This faction has fore sworn revolution, and is eager to sec ond the efforts of the faculty to keep the university open in the interests of learning.

The last day found the repub- licans active and the business men's'' rally held in historic Faneuil hall at noon, with Curtis Guild, jr., the candi- date for governor as chief speaker, proved one of the larges tand most enthusiastic campaign. The democrats spent the day in perfecting plans for a "whirlwind tour of Boston wards and nearby cities during the evening. John B. Moran, the democratic nominee, who has suffered from the strain of the campaign, having been compelled to rest until just before the hour for the night meeting. Up to the close of the day there was every indication that the republicans were planning to bring out the full strength of their vote to-mor- row. At the same time there was no indication that the leading conservative members of the democratic party who rejected MT. Moran before the demo- cratic convention, as being "fundamen- tally unfit" had changed their views.
