st. Petersburg. Aug. 19.-Empeior
Nicholas has to-day announced the
grant to the people of Russia OF ma
I tional consultative assembly TO be
formed by elected representatives
from the whole of Russia.
The new national assembly will be n
consultative organization in connection
with the Council of the Empire and
not a legislative body. The powers OF
the Emperor remain theoretically abb
solute. AS the Emperor is the SUI
preme lawgiver and autocrat, the de-
cisions of the Douma have only rec
ommendatory and not a binding force,
though the rejection of any legislative
measures by two-thirds majority of
both houses is sufficient to prevent
that measure from becoming law.
The representatives of the people
will have not only the right to be heard
on any legislation proposed by the
government but also can voice their
desires on new laws and will have the
right to exert a certain supervision
over budgetary expenditures.
The suffrage, though wide, is not
universal. 1t Is based on property
qualifications, the peasantry having
vote through membership in communal
organizations. A considerable portion
of the residents of the cities, possess
ing no lands, together with women, so
diers, civil functionaries, etc, are with
out suffrage.
The term of the Douma is to be five
years, but it can be dissolved by the
Emperor. There is to be general ses-
sion, but the Douma will also meet
by sections, the length OF the sessions
being determined by the Emperor. The
president and other officials are to be
elected by the members.
Paragraph 10 of Section provides
members of the Douma shall enjoy
freedom in exchanging their opinions
on matters within the competence Of
the body and are not to be responsible
to the electors"
Several sections are devoted to the
exemptions to be enjoyed by the mem
bers and the reasons for and the oc-
casions on whihc they can be deprived
of their membership. The Douma can
demand explanations from the minis
ters.
