Of the commercial treaty negotiations.
Should Hungary not agree to the Aus

majority to resume their studies "be.
cause an open university will be more
dangerous to Imperialism than a uni

swelteFing. perspiring mass of 1000
students stood closely packed in the
assembly hall Of the university, in
which new oil painting Of Emperor
Nicholas has taken the place of the
portrait destroyed at the meeting Of
Feb. 40, listening to series Of heated
but remarkably able speeches from
student orators. Nearly all the speak
ers were members of the socialistic
group and many of them were out
and out revolutionists and stranger
listening to the fiery debate would
have little idea that he was in Russia,
supposedly q land where free speech
is not permitted. No voice was raised
In favor of the government. All the
speakers were united in the idea that
the present concessions are unsatis-
factory and that 1t Is necessary to
continue the reform propaganda, but
they differed as to whether 1t would
be better tactics to continue the strike
or reopen the university as a center
Of agitation, or even as q temple Of
revolution. Students of the moderate
faction, who were thinking of continu-
Ing their education rather than fur.
thering the work Of reform, abandoned
the forum to the agitators, but when
the vote was taken they showed un-
der those who wished to continue the
strike. Revolutionary proclamations
were several times showered from the
galleries and the students sang Mar
seillaise. The meeting. however. was
far more orderly than; that Of Febru-
airy. Neither police nor troops were
visible in the vicinity Of the uniyer-
sity.
