ST PETERSBURG. Sept. THE open.
ing conflict between Premier stoiypin and
the reaetionists at court. due to the re-
fusal Of the premier to aeauiesce in the
abandonment Of the proposed reforms, lie
rejected by the comment Of the reactionary
newspapers on the premier's note OF Sep
TENDER 5. which are now openly demanding
the retirement Of NJ. Stolypin
The Svet. whose court connections are
known. while approving the Institution OF
drum-head courts-martial for the trial of
political offenders asia step in the right
direction does not conceal its dlssatisfac-
ton at the promise of reforms
The Russian Banner. organ OF the League
of the Russian People and other reaction
list organizations. demands the premer's
resignation, presuming that he is bidding
for the support of the moderate liberals
instead OF leaning only on true patriots"
The paper adds: M Stolypin's declaration
that no terrors can drive the government
on the way Of reaction is nonsense of the
rankest sort. Under such pilotage our ship
can never weather the storm"
One Paper Praises Plan.
Aside from the fsossia, M, Stolypin's per-
sonal organ, only Prof. Kovalevsky' 8
Strana has a few words of commenda ton
for the program Of reforms which the
paper says. was drafted by NJ. Stolypin
in accordance with :he best traditions of
Russian liberalism" but with the moro
radical papers the strana finds fault with
the establishment of courts-martial for the
trial Of political offenders and other meas
ures for restoring order. which, according
to the Strsna, embody the worst features
OF the policy Of the old regime.
The Rech recognizes the fight which the
premier Is making against being compelled
20 make a full surrender to the reaction
airy influences at court, but says his efforts
are foredoomed to failure, and adds that he
must yield to the demand for the abolition
of Parliament. Even the Novoe Vremya
is noncommittal.
Moscow Not Sympathetic.
The attitude OF the Moscow press toward
the premier's announcement of his policy
is not sympathetic. The leaders of the
peaceful regeneration party, who are gath
ering at Moscow after touring the country
in the interests OF their party, have slight
hope of the government winning the cleo
| tions, not even with the aid OF the reforms
To the correspondent Of the Associated
| Press at Moscow, M. Guchkoff, Coun
Heyden and others said they were wei
| impressed with the tone of the premier
notes but unless the distribution of land
and the removal of the restrictive law
bearing on the peasantry and old believer
had a more sweeping effect than antici
pated. the coming Parliament is apt to b.
even more radical than the first one.
The reopening OF the universities is prac
tically certain. Meetings of students an,
the councils of various institutions hav
adopted the same view as did the revolu
tionary students of st. Petersburg yester
day evening namely, that Il is advisabl
to abandon entirely all destructive tactic
and to resume the studies, instead OF max
ing the universities centers for the revoiu
tionary movement.
i May Admit Jews 10 Army,
The Batjnoff commission, which is elabor
ating reforms for the army, has recon
mended the admission of Jews to the ONCE
corps. from which hitherto they have bee
excluded. except in the capacity of SUI
geons. The recommendation, which is cou
pied with the condition that the assent c
the officers OF the union to whom they ar
assigned must be secured in each cas-,
will be presented to the emperor for ar
proval and is in the line OF the policy 1
which Premier Stolypin is committed. ]
probably will be accepted, though the re
Gently formed anti-Jewish party Is cam
pakgning energetically against the propos
ton and is also much enraged at the dec
sion Of the minister of education providin
for the unrestricted admission OF Jews t
the universities. which goes into effect q
the opening of the next term.
The Svet declares that IL the Jews ar
unrestrIctedly admitted In ten years the
will have driven the Russians from tn
higher schools The Jews heretofore hav
been restricted TO from three TO FIVE pc
cent of the enrolment
Dispatches from Odessa and other cite
in the south Russia pale report the retur
of many Jewish. families who went I
Palestine under the influence of the Zion
list movement. They complain of inabllit
to exist there owing to the oppression @
the Arabs
Attempt ON Kryshsnovsl<y's Life.
