DISORDERS EXTEND

CAR Anglers PARLIAMENT

ST. PETERSBURG, June S.-Dis-
patches from the interior continue
gloomy and show that the gradual ex-
tension of the agrarian disorders and
partial strikes now affect twelve prov
inces., The latest disturbances report
ed are at Kief and Tver. Numerous
collisions between peasants ana rural
guards have taken place, but nothing
in the nature of mass movement has
yet occurred.
Although the Social revolutionists
have proclaimed temporary cessa-
ton of the terrorist campaign there
is little abatement in the murders of
police officials in the interior.
The storm produced by overnight de-
velopments broke as soon as the lower
house of Parliament opened today, ex-
posing the split between the radical
! and more moderate elements of the OPP
/ position and proving that the leaders
/ of the Constitutional Democrats will
| be unable much longer to hold their
extreme allies of the peasants work.
men group, who openly favor Parlia-
ment shaking off all Governmental
control and proceeding Independently.
The firmer attitude of the Govern
ment, as foreshadoWcd by yesterdays
decision to demand months time for
consideration of the law providing for
the abrogation of the death penalty
| in accordance with the statutory prlvi-
! leges, was further emphasized by Pre-
mier GOremyldn's reply to an inter-
pellation on the subject Of the Black
! Hundred publications. which was COM
municated in writing. 1t practically
amounted to a flat refusal to make
any explanation, basing his refusal on
the ground that the public was eX-
ceeding it's rights, as under article 40
of the regulations of Parliament 1t is
only empowered to exact explanations
upon subjects submitted directly for
its consideration
After reading this communication
| President Mouromtseff announced that
| he had officially written a letter TO the
Premier, insisting upon a reply, main
! tanning that the publication affected
the dignity Of the house as Il body, and
upon motion of NJ. Petrunkevtch the
presidents action was unanimously
approved.
| When the governments decision to
| insist on "a months delay for the death
penalty bill, contained in the form of
| a communication from the Ministers
of War, and Navy and the Interior, was
communicated to the House. NJ. Ma
! boukoff, in behalf of the Constitutional
Democrats, offered a resolution ac-
cepting the Governments decision, but
| in the meantime demanding the sus
pension of all death sentences, con-
| tending that the Government must
accept the notice of the bill as a stay
of execution.
This was the signal for violent pro-
tests from the socialistic and peas
ants wOrkmen group.
Messrs Annitin, Yakobson and AL
ladin successfully mounted the ros-
| trum, insisting that it was useless to
parley with the enemy, and that acts
and not words were necessary. The
bill abolishing the death penalty should
Immediately be passed.
Several times President Mouromtseff
was compelled to call NJ. Aladdin to
order as the latter continued his de-
nunciation of the Government. During
the course of his remarks NJ Alladin
said:
LAS soon as the reign Of liberty be-
gan the Government commenced to
publish Black Hundred dispatches"
President Mouromtseff here called
the speaker to order, saying that lis

1T may not have been proved to the
satisfaction of the Ministry" replied
Alladin, but it has been proved to the
satisfaction Of the whole Russian pco-
pie"
wild cheering from the left greeted
this statement of the peasant party
leader,
M. Sipiaguine of Sebastopol, a
nephew of the late Minister of the
Interior of that name, offered a way
out of the imbroglio by proposing q
resolution instructing President Mou,
romtseff to go to Peterhof in the name
of the house and request the Emperor
to suspend all death sentences, In his
speech in support of the motion, NJ
Spiagune called attention to the stu,
lation at Sebastopol where, he said

After an exciting debate the hOus,
