the following special bulletin:
Piactlcally the entire country was
covered by t'ie hot vweve today, except

The maximum tempeiatuto llni of 100

EDITORS ENCOURAGED
Their Audience with the Emperor
Nicholas Was at Flrt Followed by
Disappointing Results, but Later
Came the Change Which la Now
Hailed as a Forerunner of Impor
tant Developments in the Direc
tion of Modorn Progress.
t'orrevpindencc of The Aswelitcd Press.
St. Petersburg, Monday, July 8. The
grant of more liberal pi ess regulations
affords additional pioof that Umpcior
Nicholas has emancipated himself
from tho advisors who still bold tho
Ideas which prevailed during tho un
happy period that followed the murder
of tlio Czar liberator, Alexander I. As
an Instance of more benevolent ic
forms tho following example Is given:
A deputation of electors, led by a
courageous lltteiatcaur who Is no
longer actively connected with the
pi es, went bofoie his majesty with
their humble petition. "CJIve us a
piess law," they pleaded. "Let It bo
as your majesty may deem proper, but
give us a law. Let us know whore
wo stand. Fiee us fiom the domina
tion of officials, w.hose will Is their only
law. (live us as much freedom as you
can. Wo will not nbuse It."
The emperor made a giaclous ic
sponse. The editors nnd publlshois
bieathed a deep sigh of relief. Hut
they were cruelly disappointed. The
reactionary crowd gained the oar of
the cmpeior. An artificial agitation
was started. The machinery of gov
ernment and the police was set In mo
tion and the emperor was pcisuarfcd
that fanatical elements only waited
for tho giant of a modicum of llbeity
In order to -Hack the throne, altar
und his own life.
The law now granted will restoie
courage to the press. Hitherto one
warning fiom the censor has sent a
panic through the editorial rooms, two
have put them under the sword of
Damocles and three were legardcd rs
prellmlnniy to extinction, .vbioh was
raiely long delayed .flcr threo warn
ings tho authorities could shut up the
newspaper nt any moment. Now the
Hi st notice or warning will remain In
foico only n year If a second does not
follow within the year: tho second will
expire within two yeais If there Is not
a third within that period and the
third will icmaln In force only tluee
eais,
This action with logaid to tho llh
erty of the prc-s is taken by inany to
be a foreiunncr of an eia of lofoim In
Russia.
