the elections I'm over half the districts
and open the national assembly May 10
with a working majority, the cabinet has
recommended that tho first meeting OF the
Russian parliament be held and the long
expected imperial ukase 10 that effect was
promulgated yesterday.
This definite announcement furnished a
convincing answer 10 the revolutionary
argument that the government had no In
tentiOn Of conVoking the national assem-
bly,. II Is expected 10 do far more toward
completing the tranquilization OF the
country than all the repressive measures
of Interior Minister Durnovo. OF whose
waning power the ukase is but one OF sew
eral indications.
Many OF the members including repre-
sentatves OF the Caucasus Siberia. parts
OF Poland. the Baltic provinces and even
OF important cities like Kieff. will prob
ably not be chosen in time to participate
in the organization OF the national as
sembly and its opening sessions.
But the urgent need for a speedy convo-
cation OF the new parliament I'm order 10
reassure the country regarding the inten-
tions Of the government overweighed the
Disadvantages OF incomplete representa-
ton.
A second ukase annuls the requirement
OF a simultaneous election throughout the
empire.
The place for the convocation OF the
national assembly is the historic Kuride
Palace here, built by Catherine II for
her fsvorte, Prince Potemkin, and the
extensive alterations necessary for adapt
