that followed lasted until well in;o

RussIA's YEAR OF TURMOIL.
The Cars Government Still Stands,
Although Terribly Shaken.

Nearly all southern Russia was in
practical rebellion last New Years day
and the revolutionists hoped to see the
last OF the autocracy before the twelve
months end. but their hopes have not
been realized. Russia Is still in a state
Of turmoil.
Preparations for the douma elections.
which did not begin until April s, were
gong on through the years entire first
quarter. An unpleasant impression was
produced April 5, just before the cleo
tons, followed by fresh bomb out
RACES, by the government resuming the
old, strict newspaper censorship. Count
Witte, who as premier had done many
things which displeased the radicals,
made many explanations and, May 2,
one day ahead of the douma's conven-
Ing, resigned. The entire cabinet fol-
lowed suit and Goremykin was made
prime. minister May 8.
When the douma, overwhelmingly
radical, convened May 10 in st. Peters
burg, the lower house chose Professor
Mouromotsey president. On the 18th
the car received him formally and the
same day the council of the empire,
of which Witte and Lamsdorf were
members, began its sessions. On the
18th the motion, originating with the
labor party, to demand immediate am
nesty, was defeated with difficulty.
The address from the throne was not
acceptable to the douma and there was
two or three days debate on the re-
ply, which was adopted May II. On
the 2fst the car announced that he
would not receive 1t. The douma made
many radical recommendations, and
May %, in spite of the ministry, insist
ed on general discussion of betterment
propositions.

bomb into a procession at Vialystok,

there was much rioting and destruction

at Sevastopol, May a. a bomb was
thrown and many wero killed By July

action without reference to the cars
wishes. Uprisings, bloodshed and
burnings were reported from several
provinces. Vice Admiral Chuknin was
murdered July IL.
Soon afterward the minister Of the
interior attended one of the douma's
sessions to defend the government.
Next day the dourna demanded the
governments resignation, urging that
1t should be made responsible to the
legislative body.
From this time till July 81, when the
car dissolved il, the duma was in con-
slant uproar. 1t resolved itself 10 take

posing to scale the budget and not to
issue a new loan. The car approved
this, but not the proposed appropriation

lands. Goremykin was succeeded by
Stolypin as premier and after the
dumas dissolution many of its members
fled to Finland, where they reassem-
bled, urging the people there not to
support the aCtocracy. Their appeals to
the army and navy caused a mutiny of
