Such is the construction" plsced upon the endorse ment written lit' Ms own hand on the resolutions telegraphed by the Chornl gov Zemstvo, December 20, begging bim In the most loyal manner to con voke legally -elected members to pres ent a programme of reforms for his consideration. The Kmperor wrote on the dispatch: "I consider the action of the president to be presumptuous and tactless, Questions of state ad ministration are of no concern to the Zemstvos, whose functions and rirhts are clearly defined by the law." Ihe endorsement is Drinted In The Official Messenger this morning, dash ing tne hopes of the extremists. It did not come as a treat surprise. The Kmperor from the beitlniilne. although he has shown'"hlinself favorably dis posed towards a more liberal realme and In entire sympathy with some of the Zemstvos demands, had resolved not to yield the principle of autocracy.

It Is not be lieved, however, that such a smalt squadron can have been BOnt out by Japan with any Idea of enaatrine- m offensive operations, but it is regarded as mora probable that It Is tha purpose of this aquadron to keep . surveillance over the two detachments of the Rus sian neet, which are expected to soon unite In the neighborhood ' of Mada gascar.
