DEATH SENTENCE
PASSED ON CAR
Acuon 1aken by Revolutionists For His Act in
DlSsolVlng Far1anlent--Statement by the Gov
ernment Defending It's Course

st. Petersburg, July 26.-The great
conflict between the people and the
government is now in it's preliminary
stages, and no one can forsee where
1t will end. For his act in dissolvine
parliament, the revolutionists have
passed the death sentence upon the
ozar, while war to the knife against
the revolutionists, and the knife to the
hit, was proclaimed today by Premier
Stolypin, in telegram addressed to
the governors general, governors and
projects throughout Russia and to the
viceroy of the Caucasus, who are or.
dered to strike and spare nothing in
efforts to preserve order and crush the
enemies of society"
Included in this category, as shown
by the evnts of the day, are not only
revolutionists and socialists. but also
the educated liberal and landed class
es, represented in the constitutional
democratic party, whose clubs every
where have been closed, and all the
progressive newspapers, which are not
permitted to lift their voices any
where throughout the entire land.
Governments Statement.
The official ST. Petersburg agency
was tonight authorized to issue the fol
lowing statement:
From the first days of its existence
the lower house of parliament over
stepped all the limits of law. In it's
reply to the speech from the throne.
modification of the fundamental law
was demanded, in the shape of the
suppression of the council of the en-
pire and the creation of responsible
cabinet.
IN its agrarian program, based on
the appropriation of land. the house
raised hopes that could not be realiz-
ed and weakened the respect for prop

In the speeches of its members the
house consistently discrelited the gov
ernment, which it ever accused OF or
ganizlhs programs and disorders.
