IN Orstory Instead of Action

Revolt

ST. PETERSBURG, June 9-The report
of the retirement Of the Goremykin min
istry was definitely killed late tonight.
when the premier returned to St. Peters
burg from Peterhof, where he went this
afternoon for an audience with the EN-
peror, and authorized the statement that
he had not rendered his resignation and
had no expectation OF retiring. Since Par
llament's passage of the resolution Of lack
Of confidence, when the emperor declined
to avail himself OF Premier Goremykin' $
offer 70 resign and expressed accord with
the policy outlined in his address TO Par
lament his majesty has given no intima-
ton Of desire for his resignation. No
immediate Developments are expected.
VIII Continue Policy of Drift.
The avoidance thus far Of an open rup-
ture and the prospective maintenance Of
the status quo for a month to come, while
the lower house of Parliament is iudulg-
ing in oratory instead Of action on the
agrarian problem. apparently inspired the
emperors determination TO retain NJ.
Goremykin and continue the policy OF
drift
Another motive probably was the diff
Guilty Of finding an available man to re-
place Goremykin. Another bureaucrat
would be no more acceptable to Parlia-
ment NJ. Shipof and Prince Svia topolk-
Mirsky, who are qualified to mediate be-
tween the throne and Parliament, declined
the post in advance, the first named be-
cause he believed the attempt would be
ffuitless and the latter on account OF III
health. Besides, Emperor Nicholas is not
vet ready TO take the plunge with a min
istry chosen from Parliament.
Debate I'm the Duma.
The demand for an opportunity to speak
on the agrarian question in the lower
house of Parliament is so pressing that
the rule against the house sitting on Sat
urdsy has been abandoned and the debate
on this important subject was resumed to-
day.
Some of the members have already
spoken a dozen times. advancing the same
ideas over and over again. The few CON
servatives no longer attempt to defend their
views and by tacit consent the constitu-
tional democrats who feel certain that
thci. program will prevail, are abandoning
the field to the radicals. who continue TO
urge the full naturalization of land.
The debate on the agrarian question
continued until $3.50 p. m. and after the
reading OF number OF interpretations re-
garding the hunger strikes" the political
prisoners at Warsaw. Minsk and simbirsk
and prospective famine conditions in the
Volga region the house adjourned.
One Regiment in Mutiny.
! he Novtcherkassk regiment. which is
located at Okhta, near ST. Petersburg, is
practically in state OF open mutiny. It
was under orders to proceed to the Baltic
provinces. but the men refused to go.
private letter received here from Count
White is couched in a very pessimistic
tone. He believes that the Russian gov
eminent is throwing away its chance Of
nppeasing Parliament and rendered GER
tain conflict within brief period. Count
White left Russia May 20 for Brussels
whence he was to go to Germany. t
