st. Petersburg-At the end OF q
memorable seven hour session, the low
er house Of parliament Indignantly re-
jected the governments policy as pre-
sen;ei by Premier G~oremykin. and,
with only seven dissentient voices,
voted a lack of confidence in the min
istry. This practically throws down
the gauntlet TO the bureaucracy with
q demand for the retirement Of the pres
cnt cabinet and its suppression by a
ministry approved by q majority in the
house.
While the house avoided the appear.
ance Of declaring an ultimatum, the
government seems 10 have no alterEa-
tive between surrender and war. The
gloomy ~fOreboG'nas are heard every
where, and the general impression is
that the country Is on the verge of a
Titanic struggle, which may be de.
layed but not averted. Dispatches from
the Interior indicate that the struggle
may be i%naugurated with a general
strike. when the people learn that all
amnesty has been refused.
While the premier's statement prom
jstd cooperate on with the lower house
I'm 80 far as the latter does not trans
eress the limits OF the fundamental
laws" It recognized the agrar.an ques-
ton as paramount, proposing to rem
ely the deficiency in land through the
operation of an sgrsr.an bank and mi
grafton to Siberia. 1t proposed the in
PRODUCTION of universal and compulsory
education. the reform OF the admins
tration and the realization Of the four
Liberties.
Premier Goremykin's statement,
however. returned a o possumus on
the chief question raised by the house.
1t declared that the fiat and exception
al laws can not be withdrawn until
murder and terrorism cease. The eX-
preparation Of appange; of the crown
and church and private lands was De.

statement declared. belong to the
crown, the house having only the power
of Interpolation. Amnesty, Premier
Goremykin said, is solely the prerog-
alive of the emperor.
Programme Ia Denounced.
Such, Lr.ehy. was the governments
reply to the addres Of the house, and
the premier's words seemed to arouse
all the latent resentment in the hearts
of the members Of the house. The con-
stitutional democratic LEADERS, for the
first time gave free rein to passion, and,
with flaming words, Ora'Or after orator
denounced the governments pro-
eramme, and said that the ministry
must give way to a Cat'net In which
the people can have confidence.
NJ. RoGtcheff announced that the gov
ernment's reply had dashed to the
ground all hope of working in harmony
with The administration. NJ. Kova.ev-
sky enacted the role Of Mirabeau, prac-
tica.ly paraphrasing the Frenchman's
words, I'VE are here by the will OF the
people, and nothing but bayonets can
disperse u.s." while half a dozen peas
ants hurled defiance at the ministry.
Even Count HeydCn, the leader OF the
right, deserted the government, say
ing that inasmuch as 1t had refused to
redeem its promises to repeal the ex-
ceptional law, his O also was for CEN
sure.
The. resolution Of censure as adopted
provide; that the house shall proceed
with the Greer Of the cay, thus adro,t.
