to be exceedingly temperate in tone
and say that II required all their abil-

i Goremykin Attends.
When parliament reassembled this
morning Premier Goremykin and the
entire cabinet were seated on the mif,.
isterial benches. It was understood
the premier intended to outline the
Views of the government In regard to
the reply to the speech from the
throne. The excited frame of mind OF
the members of parliament was evil
denced by long list Of speakers sub
mitted even before President Mour-
omtseff had called the house to order
This was not so much due to Russian
love Of talk as to the fact that every
member seemed to feel himself charg-
ed with message from his constitu-
ents, which lie must deliver. The
speeches Of the peasants were deliv-
cred In the simple language of the vil-
layers, which was more easily compre-
hended than the utterances of city
members, who were inclined to indulge
in high flown eloquence and hyper
bole, airing their erudition in the use
Of foreign phrases and dialects, which
the members from the Baltic provinces
and Poles sometimes found 1t difficult
to understand. From the very outset
today the words in favor of moderc-
4ion were few and far between. Sem
tnoff, social revolutionist from Sara
toff, was the first speaker Amid wild
applause he declared the reply to the
speech from the throne was too weak
Parliament, he said, was evidently con-
tent with less; than the people.
Seminoff announced the peasants
were so revolutionary That only a
spark was required to kindle the con-
fiagration, and anarchy and destruc-
ton were certain If the demands OF
the peasants were not satisfied immed-
