Rome, May 12.-Mgr. Ireland, arch
few days ago on his return to the
United States, made many additional
friends while here, but the opinion is
nevertheless held in Vatican circles
that his promotion to the Sacred college

While IN Rome, however, Mgr. Ire

American ambassador to Italy, and four
cardinals honored him by being pres.

such prominent prelates in the city OF

De ERM|NE0 TO WIRING
AMNESTY FROM Gar
Attitude Of Opposition to Throne
Very Evident in Rus
sian Assembly.

By Publishers Press.
st. Petersburg May 12.-With the
assembling of the newly constituted
douma for it's first business session yes
terday, the attitude of opposition to the
car, which the new assembly is bound
to assume, was shown without attempt
at concealment.
The deputies showed that they are
determined to secure amnesty for all
political offenders if it is within their
power to do so, as the first step in their
program of reformation for Russia. I'M
til amnesty is granted by the car there
is little likelihood that any business
of Importance can be transacted.
Conflict at Start.
So anxious were the deputies to get
a chance to put themselves on record
as fayoring amnesty in a way that the
ear cannot ignore, that there was a
sharp conflict at the very outset of the
meeting between Premier MouromtseH
and deputies who insisted upon taking
the subject up for consideration.
The presiding officer had scarcely
announced that the first order of BUSH
ness would be the selection of minor
officers of the douma when Deputy
Anikens demanded that the amnesty
subject be taken up. President
Mouromtseff proved the excellent con-
tlol he has over the douma by quickly
restoring order and insisting that the
warned the deputies that only by Civ.
ing strict accord to the chairs ruling
can profitable debate be secured.
Hurry Thru Formaities. s.
The deputies showed their earnest
| ness by needing the warning and at
cnce yielded to the ruling. The formal-;
| i@ioe "a tho donna M

important questions before the body:
might be taken up.

frame an address III reply to the speech

deputies on Thursday when the douma

The things demanded by the presi-
dent were bad enough, from the view
point Of the conservatives, but they
were no forse than the numerous other
things they knew would be added to
the bill in an effort to satisfy the de:
mands made by the general public. And
so the conservatives, as long as they
could. fought against any kind Of rail
road legislation. Now, that legislation
has come, it is accompanied by the
many radical things they had 5foreseen.
Obviously, the temper OF the country

senate, with the general railroad ques-
ton before it, could not refuse to grant
the people the relief for which they so
long have been playing in vain. -, The
only way in which that relief might
have been refused would have been thru
failure to open up the question at all.
Once opened, there was no power to
