Zemstvolsti May Have Gone Too Far,
It is Now Thought.
8T. PETERSBURG. Nov. 24.—Inte
rior Mfnlsteer Svlntopolk-Mlrsky went
Tsarkoe-8elo today to present
the Zemstvos memorial to Emperor
Nicholas. The situation Is exlremely
delicate. Two Incidents have occurred
both of whllch much militate against
the Liberals and Increase the diffl
culty of Prince Svlatopolk-MIrsky's
position. Prince Mestcheresky, editor
of the Grashdanln, who Is head of the
reactionary press, thin morning un
masked his batteries, attacking the In
terior minister Id such a fashion for
his liberal tendencies the Prince
8vlatopolk-Mlaky for the first time
since he assumed the ministry ordered
the confiscation of the Issue. In the
strength of his Influence behind such
an attaclf lies the real algnflcance of
Prince MestcherlstltVs act. At th*
same time from the opposite direction
the Nasha Zefsn (Our Life), a new
radical paper authorized my minister
Svlatopold-Mlrskey, Indulged in a
direct attack on the emperor, with the
result that the m'nlster offered the
suspension of the publication.
The action of th's paper is consid
ered to be very fortunate as it places
powerful weapon in the hands of
Prince Bvlatopo|k-Mlrsky*s enemies.
Many of the minister's friends are In
clined now to believe that the Zem-
stvoists went too far away and have
Jeopardized the position of their
best friend.
