REVOLUTION IS CERTAIN
Russian Liberal Leader Sees No Prospect Of Calming the
People,, GrantiDg Full Constitutional Regime
Can Alone Prevent BloOdShed

st. Petersburg, May 24.--Professor
Milukoff, the spokesman Of the Consti-
tutional Democrats, according to a
thoughtful article published by him in
the Rech, is rather respondent over
the prospect of staying the tide of
revolution in the country. He bases
his pessimism upon the conviction
that the government will not yield a
full constitutional regime. with which,
be says, it Is still possible to calm
the passions Of the people. He re-
CARDS Premier Goremykin and his cab
met as mere puppets, doing the bid
ding Of the powerful influences at
court, and believes that Emperor Mich
Dlas is destined to throw away the
opportunity as Louis XVI. did of trans
ferring the country to a peaceful par
Ramentary regime. This the professor
considers to be the governments last
chance and that refusal to do so
will cut the ground from under the
Constitutional Democrats and will
strengthen the revolutionary elements,
which are preaching that parliamentary
ism is an Illusion, and make anarchy
and a bloody revolution Inevitable.
Nevertheless, the Constitutional Dem
ocrats will persevere in their attempt
to place the country on solid, consti-
tutional basis and if they fail and dis
aster follows the responsibility will
not be upon their shoulders.
Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1906-05-24

The central committee of the Con-
stitutional Democrats has completed
the drafts Of the laws to be introduced
in parliament, including universal
suffrage irrespective of sex and equal
rights for all citizens; laws guarantee
ing immunity of the person and in
volatility of domicile without due
process of law, providing also the
guarantee of habeas corpus and spe-
officially excluding all exceptions.
While no party at court favors a
complete surrender to the demands of
the lower house of parliament the
Trepoff cabal, which secretly favors
dissolution Of parliament, is not
strong enough for the moment to seri-
Dusly urge such course. The en-
peror continues well disposed and is
supported not only by many mobiles at
the court but by other big landed pro-
prietors throughout the country, who
now seem fully convinced that unless
the peasants can be measurably sat
lsfied by a compromise on the land
question a revolt of the peasants
against the mobiles will be aroused
which will ruin the latter, as the
peasants will forcibly seize their prop
erty to the accompaniment of horrors
and excuses.
The provincial papers are filed
with advertisements offering estates
for sale inserted by property owners
who, despairing of saving their prop
erty, are ready to accept what they
can get and fee from the country.

his name, he said he got the stock by
purchase and through the merging
with the Keystone company Of smaller
companies in which he was interested.
Mr.. Patton proved an unwilling wit
ness when he was questioned about
his holdings in the Atlantic Crushed
Coke company. The examination re-
suited in a tilt between the witness
and Attorney Glasgow for the commits
sion and caused impatient comment
by Commissioner Cockreu. The con-
troversy occurred after repeated eff
forts had been made by Mr.. Glasgow
to draw from the witness positive
statement as to whether he had paid
any actual cash for his 4OC shares in
the company, the witness insisting
that he secured them through a land
deal, but admitted he had no money

Concerning the Huron Coal company
Mr.. Patton said he thought he had
500 shares, but was not certain, which
he acquired in the same manner as
his holdings in the Atlantic Crushed
