Associated Prem Dispatch BY Special wires
st. Petersburg Russia, May 2e.-As
foreshadowed in the statement made by
Minister of Agriculture Stichinsky 10 the
Associated Press, last night, the govern
ment has decided on its course OF action
with reference to tho vote Of lacx Of con-
tidence by the lower house and its de-
mand for the resignation Of tho ministry
il will swallow parliaments 3 atiront and
treat its resolution simply as q deciara-
ton beyond its competency and con-
sequently, as not binding upon tho
monarch. In othor words, the govern
ment has decided TO ignore the demand
Of the lower house and the ministry will
not resign, but neither viii Parliament
be dissolved Moreover instead of
treating tho action Of tho lower house as
cause for offence, the ministry will con-
tinue It's conciliatory attitude in the hope
that tho storm will suhEde and, unless
Parliament takes some revolutionary
action, the original plan Of prolonging
the session until it is time for tho
summer vacation 40 the end Of June,
will be carried out. In the meantime
the government viii offer It's own prof.
ects for the solution Of tho agrarian
question, 4rc., and II they are rejected
the lower house will bo allowed 10 elaho-
rate It's projects. No amnesty will be
granted but the political prisoners will
be released ne rapidly as possible, The
ministry is evidently strongly convinced
that its agrnrian programme will win
the support Of tho conservative interests
Of the country, which naturally are
| frightened nt tho universal scheme for
| the appropriation Of land proposed hy
/ the lower house. Both the ministry and
the court cnmarilla are understood TO
have joined in a decision to adopt the
above tactics.
The Novoe Vremyn, apparently having
received its cue, this morning, spoke Of
the lower house in a contemptuous
spirit for "essaying q role beyond It's
| jurisdiction" Tho character OF the
attacks Of this paper Is shown BY the at-
tempt to construe the decision Of the
lower house not 20 hold sessions ON
Saturdays, as well as Wednesdays, which
was adopted on the motion OF NJ. Ostro-
gorlxi, a jew from Grodno, as q nom
recognition Of tho Christian Sabbath
and as q direct affront 10 Christian
Russia.
The spirit Of the lower house was much
calmer today. At the opening Of the
session q communication from Premier
Goremyl1in was read, announcing that
the Interpolation regarding the death
sentence imposed by a oourt-martial at
Riga on eight worlxTnen accused Of politi-
cal murder and robbery had been trans
mitted to War Minister Rudiger M.
Naboukoff, leader Of the Constitutional
Democrats, presented an interpolation,
demanding 20 know who was responsible
for the provocative Black Hundred tele-
grams printed in the Official Messengers
since the assembling Of Parliament.
The Interpolation asks specifically
whether they were printed with Premier
Goremykin's permission and il so what
was the purpose OF their publication
