st. Petersburg, May 25.-Premier Goremykin
at o'clock tomorrow afternoon will read be-
fore the lower house Of parliament the govern
| speech from the throne and announce the gov
ernments policy
The purpose of NJ. COremykins trip to Peter
| hof to-day, It is learned was to read to EN-
! peror Nicholas the final draft Of the Cabinets
| declaration Of policy, and was not connected in
any wise with the rumored shift in the Ministry
which, however, is possible at no distant day
The Emperor at the last moment advised a few
changes in the declaration. These caused a hur-
rfed meeting of the Cabinet this afternoon, at
which alterations were drafted and inserted
In delivering the declaration Premier Goremy-
kin. not especially gifted as a speaker, will
! adhere strictly to the text, printed copies of
which will be distributed to the members of
the house tomorrow.
The Conservative-LiberaI newspaper "strana"
says the declaration will take up and answer
point by point the Houses address. the response
to the demands on the all important agrarian
question being fiat statement on the invioIa-
bility of private property and recommendation
that the solution be sought in the improvement
of the methods of agriculture and the migration
Of the surplus population to the sparsely settled
regions of Siberia and Central Asia On the
other points. the "Strana" says the recon-
mendations will be largely negative. but there
VIII be a positive proposal for reform in local
administration, including the abolishment OF the
hated "semsky nachalniks" or petty admins
trative despots whose tyranny is among the
main grievances of the peasantry and the plac-
ing of gendarmes and rural police under the
control of the judiciary instead Of the admins
trative branch With regard to amnesty. the
Cabinet will declare for a continuation Of the
wholesale releases as fast as possible but will
insist that general amnesty is inexpedient
The position Of the government on the am
nesty and agrarian questions will not satisfy the
general cry. dispatch from Moscow tonight
says that denial of full amnesty probably will
be followed by a general strike. Similar news
has been received from other Industrial centres
In spite Of the moderate counsels of the lead
ers the Constitutional Democrats are being
pressed on by the denuncations Of the radical
elements toward open rupture. Revolution
ary activity is increasing throughout the coun-
| try, and emissaries stirring up hatred
against the mobiles and landlords and encourae-
ing the peasants to strike. on the Other hand
the agents of reaction are adopting the same
! tactics in favor of a dispersal Of parliament and
a return to autocracy Dispatches from the in
| terror report daily conflicts between the follow
ers of the two extreme parties. At a meeting of
Black Hundreds on ArchangeI Square here last
night Workmei. began counter demonstration
Fifty revolver shots were fired One man was
killed. three We're seriously wounded and dozens
had broken heads
