st. Petersburg storm pro-
duced by overnight development broke
as soon as the lower house of parlla-
ment opened Saturday, expressing the
split between the radical and more
moderate elements of the opposition
and proving that the leaders OF me
constitutional democrats would be un-
able much longer to hold their ex-
treme allies Of the peasant workmen-
group, who impartially favor parlla-
ment shaking off all government con-
troll and proceeding independently.
The former attitude Of the govern
ment to demand a months time Tor
consideration Of the death penalty An
accordance with the statutory prlvl--
leges was further emphasized by Pre-
miers Goremykein's IS reply to an IN
terpellation on the subject OF the
Black Hundreds publication commu-
nicated in writing. 1t practically
amounted to fat refusal to make
an explanation, basing the refusal on
the ground that the house was ex-
ceeding its rights as under article 4O
of the regulations on matters submit
ted directly for its examination.
After reading this communication
President Mouromtzeff announced
that he had officially written letter
to the premier insisting on reply
maintaining that the publications di.
rectly affected the dignity of the
house and the presidents action was
unanimously approved. When the
governments decision to insist on
month s delay for the death penalty
bill was communicated to the house
NJ Nabulskoff, in behalf of the con-
stitutional democrats offered a resolu'
son accepting the governments de-
cision, but in the meantime demand
ing the suspension Of all death sem
tences. This was the signal for vio-
lent protests from the socialists and
peasant workmen group. Annitoin,
Yokobin and Alladon successively
mounted the rostrum, insisting that
it was useless to parley with the enc
my and that acts and not words were
necessary. The bill abolishing the
death penalty should be Immediately
passed. Several times President
Mouromtseff was compelled to call M.
Annitoin to order. The representa-
tive of Sebastopol offered way out

crease In revolutionary activity here
and it is evident that the leaders are
preparing to take advantage of the
first opportunity to start an armed up
rising The worlzmen Of the facto-
ries and mills are being Systematically
armed with Mauser rifles and drilled
under the supervision of army re-
served soldiers. In spite of the re-
pressive measures adopted by the au-
thorities revolutionary meetings are
held nightly in the industrial sections
Revolutionary emissaries have been
sent out in all directions into the
country to incite the land hungry
peasants to appropriate land and
strike on the big estates. The plan
is evidently to secure unity of action
in the country and cities and inaugu-
rate conflict with a general strike
The leaders evidently nope for COM
plete rupture between the govern
ment and parliament, which would
furnish the necessary opportunity for
an uprising. The situation has great
ly alarmed the business men of Mos
COW and the big landlords of tho
country.
