DANGER
Of Early Conflict Between Gov
ernment and Parliament is
Apparent.
FEELING OF MISTRUST
IS AGAIN RAMPANT
Obnoxious Fundamental Law Revived
Acts as Red Flag Before Angry
Members.
A-.ocl.ted Pre.. e.sl. to The Evening

Annotated Press Cable to The Exe.iax
Times.
st. Petersburg, May s.-The danger
of an early conflict between the gov
ernment and parliament has been
greatly increased by what has hap
pened within the last twenty-four
hours. The good impression produced
by the official intimation of the new
premier that the emperor and govern
ment were sincerely desirOus of work.
Ing In harmony with parliament. which
was accepted in good faith by leaders
OF the constii ..lonal democrats en-
aDllng then4 counsel moderation.
has been largely dissipated and in its
place the old feeling OF mistrust has
been revived.
The liberals are utterly dumbfound-
ed i'll view OF semi-official assurances
on the subject by the unexpected pro-
mitigation last night of the obnox-
ious fundamental law in a slightly
modified form. At one stroke it put
an end to the chain which the new
cabinet tried to foster, namely that
the downfall of the Witte cabinet was
due to the imperial disapproval of the
original draft of law.
An article in the law not mentioned
in last nights dispatches exempting
crown lands from. taxation, and. ex-
preparation and another reserving the
power OF amnesty for political prison
ers to the emperor, run counter to the
already expressed will of the majority
and are bound to produce a clash.
The only cemmendable new feature
of the fundamental law is the provision
to the effect that imperial orders must
be countersigned by the president of
the council of ministers and the mem
ber of the cabinet whose department is
effected. But SO long as the cabinet is
not responsible to parliament it is
easy for the emperor to dismiss an un-
willing minister and replace him By
one who will do his bidding.
The indignation aroused by the en-
peror's attempt to build an artificial
dyke around the prerogatives of the
crown has been intensified by the as
founding act of the police last night in
dispensing meeting of some of the
members of the lower house of parlia-
ment and of the upper house OF new
council of the empire, at, the hall of
the Commercial society.
