MINISTRY MILL HOLD ON
Russian Government Has Decided to Swallow Parliament's Af-
 front for the Present.
TO CONTINUE cONCIlIAToRY ATTITUDE
Has Hopes that Present storm Will Sub- side and the Session be Prolonged Until the Summer Vacation = Government Programme Includes Release of Polit- icai Prisoners as Fast as Possible.

St. Petersburg, May 30.-As fore shadowed in the statement made by Minister of Agriculture Stichinsky to the Associated Pdess Monday night the government has decided on its course 0f action with reference to the vote of lack of confidence of the lower house and it's demand for the resignation of the ministry-it will swallow parlia. ments affront and treat it's resolution simply as declaration beyond its competency and consequently as not binding upon the monarch In other words, the government has decided to ignore the demand of the lower house and the ministry will not resign, but neither will parliament be dissolved
 Moreover, instead of treating the ac- tlon of the lower house as cause for offense the ministry will continue its conciliatory attitude in the hope that the storm will subside and unless par lament takes some revolutionary ac- tion the original plan of prolonging the session until it is time for the summer vacation at the end of June, Will be carried out. In the meantime the government will offer it's own pro Jects for the solution of the agrarian question, etc, and if they are rejected by the lower house will be allowed
 to elaborate it's own projects. No am

 shown by the attempt to construe the decision of the lower house not to hold
 sessions on Saturdays as we'll as Wednesdays which was adopted on the motion of M. Ostrogork. Jew from Grodno, as a non-recognition of the Christian sabbath and as a direct af- front to Christian Russia.
 The Rech predicts a lull during which the opinion of the country will lave an opportunity to crystalline and the government will see how woefully lit has mistaken the temper of the peasants and of the people generally. The radical wing of the social demo- crats is urging the lower house to transform itself into a constituent as sembly while the moderate wing offers to support the lower house it continues it's present tone.
 The spirit of the lower house was
 much calmer Tuesday. At the opening
 of the session a communication from
 Premier Goremykin was read announc- ing that the interpolation regarding the death sentence imposed by court martial at Riga on eight workman ac.
 ,used Of political murder and robbery had been transmitted to War Minister Rudjoer
