Distressed Russia.

At the end of a memorable seven-hOur
session, Saturday, the lower house Of par
lament Indignantly rejected the govern
ments policy as presented by Premier
G. remykin, aud, With only seven dis
sentiment voices, voted lack of conf
dence in the ministry, practically throw
ing down the gauntlet to the bureaucracy
with demand for the retirement OF the
present cabinet and its supefsessiOn by a
ministry approved by the majority in the
house. The spirit OF absolute revolution
is in the air and a conflict between the
crown and the nation now appears to be
inevitable. While the house avoids the
appearance OF delivering an ultimatum,
the government seems to have no alter
native except surrender or war. The

pressed last night and the general impress
sion is that The country is on the verge
of titanic struggle. which may be de-
layed, but not syerted.
The Car and his bureaucratic adj
gisers, startled by the bold revolutionary
action of the lower house of parliament,
have not yet determined the next move.
Constitutional democratic members of
the Douma say that if the government
dismisses parliament revolution will
follow.
The territories are already taking ad-
vantage of the critical situation.
Bombs were thrown at Governor Cen

Special Elections.

In a decision in Winchester Saturday,
Judge Frank Christian, of Lynchburg,
who presided 10 Judge AtkinsOn's place
sustained the demurrer fled in answer to
the bill of complaint in the contested
local-option election case at Winchester
and dismissed the complaint. The local
option election was held in Winchester
on March % last, and resulted in a vic
tory for the "wet' ticket by a majority
Of 81.
On the grounds that the election was
illegal and that fraudulent voting was
permitted, the Anti-Saloon League filed
notice of contest, one of the most i'm
portan. averments being that persons
were allowed 10 register and vote who
had not paid their poll tax six months
prior to the date of the election.
Judge Christian, after having heard
arguments, decided that the payment of
poll taxes six mouths prior to an cleo
ton is applicable only to general cleo
tons for members of the legislature and
city and State officers, and that the new
constitution omits to provide the pre-
payment Of poll taxes as a prerequisite
to the right to vote at special or local
option elections.
He further declared that he could not
in his opinion inquire into the matter OF
false and illegal registration in a case
contesting an election.
The court also decided he could not
inquire into the validity Of the writ OF
election, which the complaint alleged
was valid. He considered the meaning
and extent of the constitution to be that
the registrars shall have an absolute and
uuappealable power to register whom
they see NJ,
The election was held under ruling
of Judge Atkinson, of the corporation
court, that poll taxes could be paid at
ally time before the day of election, aud
Judge Christian decided that he had no
authority 10 override Judge Atkinson.
A similar ruling had been given by Cir
cult Judge Thomas w. Harrison.
The constitution permits of no appeal
in a case like this, aud the matter is
now settled.
Judge Christians ruling that the pre-
payment Of poll taxes as prerequisite
to the right to vote al special or local
option elections has established 3 new
rule governing special elections in this
State. Unless adop.ed by the Virginia
courts, the decision may lead to an
amendment To the constitution. 10 any
event, the decision will cause the Vir-
GINA legislature, two years hence, to
enact a new law governing the qnalihca-
tons Of voters at special elections.

presenting the packers plea to the
President, the four statesmen argued
that if the packers are compelled to pay
the inspection charges, they will either
deduct them from the prices they pay
for cattle, or add them to the prices
charged for dressed beef In either
event it was urged that the public
was likely to suffer more than If called
