st. Petersburg, May 29.-As fore
Swallowed in the statement made by
Minister of Agriculture Stichinski to
the Associated Press last night, the
Of action with reference to the vote
Of lack Of confidence of the lower
house and it's demand for the resigna-
ton of the ministry-it will swallow
parliament affront and treat its reso-
luton simply as declaration beyond
its competency and consequently as not
binding upon the monarch.
In other words the government has
decided to ignore the demand of the
lower house and the ministry will not
resign but neither will parliament be
dissolved.
Will Play for Delay.
Moreover, instead of treating the ac-
ton Of the lower house as cause for Of
Tense, the ministry will continue its
conciliatory attitude in the hope that
the storm will subside, and unless par.
Lament takes some revolutionary action,
the original plan of prolonging the ses-
sion until it is time for the summer va
cation at the end of June will be car
ried out.
In the meantime the government will
offer it's own projects for the solution Of
the agrarian question, ETC., and if they
are rejected the lower house will be al
lowed to elaborate it's own projects.
No amnesty will be granted, but the
political prisoners will be released as
rapidly as possible. Errz
:. Ministry Has Hopes.
The ministry is evidently strongly
convinced that it's agrarian program
will win the support of the conserva-
tive interests Of the country, which nat
urally are frightened al. the universal
scheme for the appropriation of land
proposed by the lower house. Both the
ministry and the court camarilla were
understood to have joined in a decision
to adopt the above tactics.
The Novoe Vremya apparently hav.
ing received it's cue, this morning spoke
of the lower house in a contemptuous

attacks of this paper is shown by the

, lower house not to hold sessions on Sat
