st. Petersburg, June 2S.-The appear
ance of Minister Stolypin to answer an
Interpolation about the governmental
measures for famine relief, especially
the alleged orders that relief be not
given in the districts where agrarian
disorders have occurred or to the wives
or families of peasants imprisoned as
revolutfonists, was the occasion for an
other exciting scene, but the demon
stratton was again engineered by the
radical group n the majority gener-
ally did not participate in it.
The storm broke when M. Stolypin,
after giving a serious reply to the
criticism Of his response by the moder-
ates, turned to NJ. ALADDIN, who made
one of his usual virulent speeches and
declared THAT as an e%xecutice officer
OF the government / refuse to notice
the calumnies of the left"
The radicals ~thereupon made noisy
demonstrations of disapproval, kissing
and shouting assassin" 'liar,' Jew
batter and resign" The demonstra-
ton continued for some time in spite
of the efforts of President Mouromtseff
Ask for More Millions.
After giving figures showing that the
expenditures for famine relief in 1905
amounted to $37. 000, 900, M. Stolypin said
the ministry would 500 come before
the house with a request for a sum al
most as large required for this year,
though the famine conditions were ex.
n~ggerated. He then took up the charge
Of Withholding relief as a punitive
measure in disorderly districts which
was the kernel of the Interpolation
and entered a general denial. The min
lister explained that such action has
been where the p%easantry in
their u~nreasoning wrath had destroyed
the magazines of grain accumulated for
the relief. This, however, was only
temporary and in thousands of cases
assistance had been given to families
of participants in disorders.
NJ. Aladdin fatty challenged the truth
of M. Stolypin's explanation. Ee stated
that he had documentary evidence that
the policy of converting the revolution
airy %populace by allowing them to
starve was devised by the vice minister
of the interior, Gurko, who, after stand.
ing sponsor to the idea several lines
when on agrarian committees and dur
ing the ministry of NJ. Durnovo, was
now placed in charge of the agrariaE
relief by NJ. Stolypin. The speaker de.
clared that the house was ready to ap-
propriate the money asked for by. NJ.
Stolypin, but its disbursement must be
entrusted to a parliamentary commits
sion where three-fourths of it would not
adhere to the fingers of the bureau
cratic thieves who occupied high as
We'll as low places IN the ministry.
Hot Shot for Gurko.
Not a single copeck to a ministry in
which are such a man, as Gurko, who
now sits smiling With affected indif-
ference at my right" said NJ. Aladdin,
in conclusion.
After a more temperate address on
the part of NJ. Roditcheff, a leader of
the constitutional democrats in the low
er house, NJ. Stolypin again assembled
the rostrum. The demonstration oc-
CURED at the end of his second explana-
ton.
During the succeeding debate the
leaders of the constitutional democrats
and the group of toll got together and
agreed on the text Of the following res.
olution, which was adopted almost
unanimously:
1.-The lower house of parliament find
ing that relief of the famine stricken
populace has been prevented in the past
by the intervention by the ministry on
political grounds and will be SO in fu-
ture SO long as the present irresponsible
ministry is in power, finds it necessary
to organize assistance through public
establishments and entrusts the agrar-
ian commission With the elaboration
of a plan of relief under thorough par
liamentary control"
The ministers. after the vote. left the
hall amid renewed cries of resign"
