Then a joint resolution condemning
the Ministry was intrusted for presenta-
ton TO pea ant leader Jilkin. II declared
tbat the Government had failed to give
the people either laws. land or liberty,
without which prosperous development
was impossible. The Dyma therefore de-
clared its complete want Of confidence
10 the Ministry and asked that it be re-
pf ced by one representing and enjoying
the confidence of the country.
This was Immediately adopted amid
cheers Seven dissenting votes were cast.
The leader Of this minority. Stakhovitch.
explained that they concurred in the ex-
precision OF want of confidence in the
Ministry. but wished the resolution to be
framed in a more courteous manner.
The Ministry Is regarded as weak by the
leaders OF the Duma. The ineffective
ma inner Of Premier Goremyhn and the
discursive explanation Of Minister of Justice
sehegouliton about the difficulties of his
department in regard to granting complete
amnesty produced the impression that the
Gar and his personal cabinet, headed by
Gen. Trepod. were more likely to dismiss
the present Government than to dispense

The grant Of universal suffrage, although
a. boon Of immense Importance. went for
nothing when the. Premier announced II.
Any gratitude felt therefor was swallowed
UP in a wave Of indignation over the rejec-
ton Of the two demands hioh are nearest
the hearts Of the peoples representatives.

his important at this point to make clear
jua what is asked by the predominant
party In the Duma. The land bill intro
duuad by the leaders Of the Constitutional
Deriocrats is outlined by them in a COM
prebensive statement to member Of the
Duma.
THE first clause declares that the area OF
Aandto be occupied by peasants can be in
creased from the lands belonging to the
Crown which provide revenues for the
Imperial family. and from Iands owned by
moaasteriee. This can be supplemented by
the State purchasing private lands on the
basis of a price reckoned from the normal
revenue Of the lands when worked by the
owner, but not based on the existing rental,
WHICH tis Dhl NtfldItn ~ diDtIdiy' ieeo
appropriated lands should be formed into
s state agricultural reserve.
y The. principles on which these lands
sbould be transferred to peasant o%ccupiers
are explained in a series Of regulations.
The:normal unit to be distributed among
tpeasaht families a TO be governed by
local conditions, such as the price OF
food. houses, clothing and local tax
ation. Peasants who have either no
allotted land or less than the local unit will
have a claim upon the State agricultural
reserve for the deficit, Private lands in
Jfe lted for appropriation include all which
haye been leased for money OF which have
teer worked by peasants whose payment
has been in work for the landlord on the
latter's separate property; also all untitled
lands suitable for agriculture.
The bill establishes machinery for fixing
in each locality the maximum area Of pri-
vate estates Lands exempt from expro-
%priation are private estates not exceeding
the unit fixed for peasant ~oocupiers, grazing
lands belonging to villages, municipal lands
and estates Of zemstvos and educational and
benevolent institutions when they serve
