3? Government Will Lead the Reform Movement. The St. Pctersburg correspondent» of the. London Telegram claims to} know that ukascs are impending“ granting certain important libertiesl In connection with the establishmqu of the National Assembly, to which1 every reasonable facility will tel given for making the political condiâ€"' tion of the people practically as free as that of their Western neighbors. Wideâ€"spreading changes will be made infâ€"the Russian administration, alttl‘i which the Government will try to' lead, instead of following, the reform movement, adopting lines of policy which will run parallel with the re- forms demanded by the Moderate Liberals. Wm:- w~ The aim will be to allow the. peo- ple, through their chosen representaâ€" tives, to work out their own distin- ies on national lines. The people will be permitted to elect freely mem- bers of the National Assembly, can- didates will be allowed to publishl addresses and deliver speeches, the restrictions on the press will be re pooled, and the people generally will be treated with confidence. In a certain sense the coming changes may be described as a revolution from above. EDWARD IS CZAR'S MODEL. The St. Petersburg correspondent of the London Times says that Count do Witte is holding informal confer- ences with influential reformers, notâ€" ably Editor Hessen, of the Pravo, who expounded at great length. that the, on this and Gen.

Count, do Witle declared that tho Czar’s greatest desire is to become a constitutional sovereign. Ilis ltlt‘;il is King Edward, who rules oier loyal subjects without the terrible burden of responsibility imposed by an auâ€" tocratic icgime. IIe hesitated to grant a. constitution solely because he is yet unconvinced that the na- tion desired it. (.‘onnt. de. Witte inâ€" timaied that it would be the high mission of the National Assembly to express the people's will in this re- SI‘H‘t, but he urged moderation, so as to avoid playing into the. hands of the reactionary Counselors W110 surround the throne. I The correspondent adds that it is ditlicult to foresee. success for these. overtures.

Admiral 'I‘ogo's carriage, escorted by a bodyguard of troops passed through a triumphal arch in front of the railway station.
