AMNESTY DEMANDED.
President of Russian Parlia-
 ment Talks With Czar.
WOULD CURB COUNCIL OF EMPIRE

Muromtsen After an Interview With 1 Emperor Nicholas Testified to Ex-
 treme Courtesy With Which
 He Had Been Received.
 ST. PETERSBURG, May 12.-The new council of the empire, or upper house of parliament, was opened by Count Solsky, it's president. with elab- crate ceremonies aAd much autocratic pomp.
 Count Witte appeared as working member of the council of the empire at its opening session.
 Professor Muromtseff went to Peter hof and notified the emperor of his cleo tion to the presidency of the lower house of parliament. He spoke plainly to the czar about the views of the coun- try and demanded amnesty for those engaged in the late troubles through out Russia
 Besides demanding amnesty, Profess or Muromtseff presented in behalf of the Constitutional Democrats ma jority suggestion that the council of the empire be made purely consulta- tive body, with no right to stand be- tween the representatives of the people and the sovereign.
 Professor Muromtseff returned to St. Petersburg from the audience ap- parently much impressed by the em- peror's earnest interest in the prob lens of the country. Though the radi- cal hotheads had been praying that Professor Muromtseff would lay down the law to the emperor and make . scene, the half hours conversation was skillfully guided both by the sover- eign and the parliamentary chief so that friction was avoided. To the Con stitutioual Democratic members of the house who awaited his return from Peterhof at the Constitutional club Professor Muromtsef spoke only brief ly, laying especial emphasis on the em- peror's courtesy and consideration.
