iects and ~ Rejected Hear
Those of the Lower
House.

ST. PETERSBURG, May 2.-As fore
shadowed in the statement made by Minis
ter of Agriculture stichinsky to the Asso-
cated Press last night the government has
decided on its course of action with refer
ence TO the vote of lack Of confidence Of the
lower house and it's demand for the resig-
nation of the ministry-it will swallow Par
liament's affront and treat its resolution
simply a declaration beyond its COM
potency and consequently not binding
upon the monarch. In oths- words, the
government has decided to ignore the de-
mand of the lower house and the ministry
will not resign, but neither will Parliament
be dissolved. Moreover instead Of treating
the action OF the lower house as cause for
/ offense the ministry will continue its con-
! ciliatory attitude in the hope that the storm
will subside, and unless Parliament takes
some revolutionary action the original plan
OF prolongtng the session until It is time for
! the sumner vacation, at the end OF June, will
| be carried out. In the meantime the gov
ernment will offer its own projects for the
solution of the agrariap question, and II
they are rejected the lower house will be
allowed to elaborate It's own projects. No
amnesty will be granted, but the political
prisoners win be released as rapidly as pos
sible
Ministry Looks for Victory.
The ministry is evidently strongly con-
WINGED that it's agrarian program will win
the support of the conservative interests of
the country, which naturally are frightened
at the universal scheme for the expropria-
ton Of land proposed by the lower house.
Both the ministry and court camerilla are
understood to have Joined in decision to
adopt the above tactics.
The Novoe vremya, apparently having
received its cue, this morning spoke OF the
lower house in a contemptuous spirit for
"essaying a role beyond it's jurisdiction -
! The character of the attacks of this paper
| is shown by the attempt to construe the
decision of the lower house not to hold
sessions on Saturdays well as Wednes-
days, which was adopted on the motion
Of NJ. Ostrogorki, Jew from Grodno as
a nonrecognition of the Christian Sabbath
and as a direct affront to Christian Russia
Rech Predicts a LuH.
The Rech predicts a lull, during which
the opinion of the country will have ar
opportunity to crystalline and the govern
ment will how fully It has mistaken
the temper of the peasants and of the peo
pie generally.
The radical wing of the social democrats
is urging the lower house to transform
itself into a constituent assembly, whil'
the moderate wing offers to support this
lower house If 1t continues it's present tone
The spirit of the lower house was mucl
calmer today. At the opening of the ses
sion communication from Premie
9oremykin was read announcing that tn,
Interpolation regarding the death sentence
imposed by a court-martial at Riga oi
eight worlxmen accused of political murde
and robbery had been transmitted to Min
lister Rudiger.
