ST. Petersburg. April l2-The radical po-
sition taken by the pan Russian congress
OF attorneys. which has been meeting
here in It's denunciation OF the bureau
cracy and its demand for n constitution.
and the similar stand taken at a meeting
of college professors. have created a great
sensation All the efforts of the govern
ment to prevent the meetings being held
by prohibiting the delegates from as
sembling in public were unavailing
The newspapers were then firbidden 20
mention the meeting. and for disobedence
in referring to the attorneys meeting this
mornings Issue OF the Son of the Father
land was conf1scated.
The Russ also boldly defed the authori-
ties, printing the resolutions adopted by
the professors.
The action OF these influential bodies
served 10 emphasize the growing out
cry against the Bouligan commission,
which is proceeding with it's work without
any representatives of the people, thus
furnishing the Liberals with justification
for the charge that the execution Of the
reforms outlined in the imperial rescript
is completely in the hands of the bureau
cracy against which all classes Of society
are fighting.
