PRoVEMENT.

st. Petersburg, May 29.-As FORE
shadowed in a statement made by
Minister of Agriculture Stichlnksy to
the Associated Press last night the
government has decided on its course
of action with reference to a vote OF
lack of confidence of the lower house
and its demand for the resignation OF
the ministry.
1t will swallow the parliament af-
front and treat it's resolution simply
as a declaration beyond it's compet-
ency and consequently as not binding
upon the monarch.
In other words the government has
decided to ignore the demand of the
lower house and the ministry will not
resign, but neither will parliament bc
dissolved. Moreover, instead OF
treating the action of the lower house
as a cause for offense the ministry viii
continue its conciliatory attitude I'm
the hope that the storm will subside
and unless parliament takes some
revolutionary action the original plan
of prolonging the session until 1t is
time for the summer vacation at the
end of June, will be carried out.
In the meantime the government will
offer it's own projects for the solution
of the agrarian question and other
matters, ard If they are rejected the
lower house will be allowed to elab-
orate It's own projects.
No amnesty will be granted but po-
liticaI prisoners will be released as
rapidly as possible
