DOUMA APPEALS
TO ALL NATIONS
Shattering Of All Hopes Of a
Constitutional Ministry
is Certain

BY our own Wire, Publishers Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, July lS.-Ihe Press
generally attaches the greatest import
ance TO the resolution introduced in the
Douma yesterday condemning the govern
ments agrarian communlque as an illegal
act The view is taken that the resolution
is nothing less than an appeal TO the Ma
tion on the part of the Douma against the
ministers and the crown. 1t is conceded
on all sides that the resolution is almost
certain TO act as a revolutionary measure.
The speakers who discussed the resolution
yesterday likewise recognized the mea-
sure as being revolutionary in its nature.
In this connection II is significant that the
resolution was introduced following the
shattering of the hopes Of a constitutional
ministry.
The conservative papers to-day take the
stand that the appeal to the people invites
a fresh outbreak Of the revolution and ex-
presses the greatest alarm for the future.
1t is reported that the government will
dissolve the Douma IL the appeal is pub
lished
Messages have been pouring in to-day
on the Minister Of the Interior giving de-
tails Of widespread agrarian disorders
which seem TO have broken out in every
part Of the empire. The trouble is more
serious in the government Of Voronezr
than in other regions. There a district OF
100 square miles has been reduced tC
ashes. The land owners have fed panic
stricken TO save their lives. The materia
losses a result of the outbreaks are es
timated at millions OF roubles. The gov
ernor has brought in a force Of Cossackl
and Dragons. but the local authorit q
are powerless. Indescribable horrors hav'
been perpetrated on numerous victims.
