Pessimism in Russia.
ST. PETERSBURG. May 2S.-The
pessimism over the outlook continues to
grow. The government as usual in ev-
cry crisis. seems to be hesitating. The
Emperor refuses to yield to the coun-
sells of the court camarilla. but seems to
cling to the idea that a compromise is
still possible
But One Way Out of It.
Two plans for eXtricating the govern
ment without meeting the direct issue are
suggested by the EmperOr'S moderate adj
visers One Is simply to allow the lower
house to talk until the end of June. when
the summer vacation will be scheduled.
The other is to dissolve Parliament and
order a new election. But either course
will only increase the danger The peas
ants undoubtedly will be profoundly
stirred by the governments stand and
people expect an immediate uprising.
NJ. Shipotf of Moscow declares that
after the action Of the lower house on
Saturday he could not accept the pre-
miership. Tha only hope now of saving
Russia from revolution IS the forma-
ton of ministry Of Constitutional Dem
ocrats, which would throw upon the
dominant party in the lower house the
responsibility of fighting the extreme eie-
mentS.

sensational sequel, crowd of consid-
cradle size gathered outside the Tauride
palace.
There was much excitement in the
corridors before the house met. An ofh-
Ger identified as Il colonel on the gen
eral staff created a stir by openly de-
claring in the presence of a score of
peasant members that the time had come
when the army should support not the
Emperor, but Parliament which repre-
sented the will Of the people.
Political Gulf Is Wide.
The debate on the personal liberty bill
was resumed The feature was a speech
made by NJ Chtcheglovitoff, minister of
justice. in an exceedingly liberal tone.
The speech created much comment, es-
pecialiy as the government distinctly re-
pudiated all responsibility for the min
listers conciliatory remarks on Saturday,
and in view of the fact that it was ru-
mored that he would be dismissed. The
outcome of the minister's conciliatory re
marks was to show how great is the gulf
between Parliament and the ministry.
