st. Petersburg, June 1.-THE lower
house Of parliament was rocked and
swayed this afternoon by successive
waves Of passion evoked by a series of
government communications, including
Military PPOcurator Pavloh's rejection
Of the appeal Of the house for a cessa-
ton of the executions in the Baltic
provinces, and the cool request of the
procurator OF the district court that the
house expel NJ. Ulianoff, who has been
indicted, although a member Of parIia-
ment, in order that he may be arrested
pending his trial for press offenses. So
fierce was the storm that President
MOuromtzeff announced that he would
be compelled to adjourn the session if
the demonstration was continued.
The district procurator's letter in
formed the house that the trial of NJ
Uliaanoff was set for June p. but that
he was protected from arrest by the
constitutional privilege Of the house and
that according to a proviso of the stat
ute, the right of expulsion was asked
for.
This was read after number of
speeches assailing the courts action as
being the most barefaced effrontery-
VI. KOkOsinies' resolution, that the
house sees no reason to utilize the right
Of expulsion. and proceeds with the or
der Of the day was adopted.
House Is Enraged
Procurator PavIoff then assembled the
rOstTum in the face of the already en-
ragged house and read his promised COM
munication regarding the death SEN
fences He declared that until the mill
UaTy laws were changed the court mar
tiaI had no option but TO impose death
sentences for such Offenses as those
committed at Riga and SevastOpOI. The
right of revision, he explained. rested
solely with the governor generals who
can reject appeals or confirm sentences.
The minister Of war cannot interfere
and cannot decide whether culprits shall
be judged by military or civil courts.
PTOcuTatOr PaVlOff, after reading his
communication in a hurried. agitated
voice, Immediately left the hall but none
too soon to escape cries of murderer -
assassin" and dog" from the radicals
who had posted themselves i'm all parts
of the nall.
At this point the president threatened
to suspend the session unless order was
restored. He recognized Professor Ku-
-Karavieff, who fatty gave Pevlonf
the lie He cited case after case with
which he was familiar from his former
connection with the academy of mill
taTy law, in which the minister of war
threw the influence of the COurts-mar-
tiaI against accused persons.
Charge of Murder.
NJ LeduitSky. a Polish representative.
presented without a word Of rebuke
from the chair the charge that Pavlof
had deliberately delayed the orders sus-
pending the sentences of the eight work
men executed at Riga. the TepFieve ar
irving an hour after the executions.
He concluded:
These are murders and not sentences
and you are muTdeFers instead Of full
filters Of the law"
Father Akhanatieff of Ufa brought
the house OF its feet with a reference to
the holy synOd's prohibition of prayers
for the Tep0se of the soul Of Leuten-
ant Schmidt, who was executed for par
ticipatiOn i'm the naval mutiny at Sc
vastopOI. He said the ministry Is
marked with the brand Of Cain and is
ripe for divine vengeance.
N. Aladin, the leader of the peasant
workmen group, was stopped by Presi-
dent MOurOmtsef when he called the
ministers traitors.
The house adjourned at o'clock after
adopting a resolution expressing pro-
found discomfort with the answers of
the ministry on the subject of the death
sentences.
