tension of the sgrarian disorders and
partial strikes now affect twelve prov
inces. The latest disturbances reported
are at kief and Tver. Numerous col
1isiOns between peasants and rural

velopments broke as soon as the lower

decision TO demand months time for
consideration of the law providing for
the abrogation Of the death penalty in
accordance with the statutory privileges

communicated TO the House, NJ Nabou-
kon. in behalf Of the Constitutional

that the Government must accept the
notice Of the bill as a stay Of execu-
tion.

This was the signal for violent pro-
tests from the socialistic and peasants
workmen groups.
MN Annitin, Yakobson and AIladin
successively mounted the rostrum. in
sisting that ii was useless to parley
with the enemy. and that acts and not
