of parliament the governments re-
Spouse to the address in reply to the

the governments policy.
The conservative-liberal newspaper
Strana country which claims to have
inside information, says the declara-
ton will take up and answer point
by point the houses addresses, the re-
Spouse to the demands on the all i'm
porant agrarian question being fat
pronouncement on the inviOlability OF
private property and recommends
ton that the solution be sought in
improving and intensifying methods
of agriculture and the migration Of the
surplus population to the sparsely set
tied regions of Siberia and Central
Asia. On the other points, the strana
says the recommendation will be large
ly negative, but there will be a posi-
tive proposal for reform IN local ad-
ministration including the adjustment
Of the hated "zemsky nachalniks,"
or petty administrative despots, whose
harshness and tyranny Is one Of the
main grievances of the psasantry, and
the placing of gendarmes and rural po-
lice, under the control of the Judiciary
instead of the administrative branch.
With regard to amnesty, the cabinet
will declare for a continuation Of the
wholesale release as fast as possible,
but will insist that a general amnesty
Is inexpedient.
The position Of the government on
the amnesty and agrarian propositions
will not satisfy tho general cry. A
despatch to the Associated Press from
Moscow Friday night said that denial
of full amnesty probably will be fol-
lowed by q general strike. Similar
news has been received from other
industrial centers.

eral amnesty or II only limited am
nesty should be granted, a general
strike is expected. Hundreds of peo-
pie are leaving the city apprehending
a recurrence of the scenes Of last De-
cember or collisions between the black
hundreds and strikers. A strike has
already begun in the suburb Of Boz
godorsk. a--4oa.- ~...
