HOUSE WATTS ON GAR.
SCHEME OF CONCESSION.
Partial amnesty May BE Granted
Other Demands Ignored.

Sr petersburg, May 19.-The week closes with
suspense. but it already is certain that Emperor
Nicholas and the government do not regard the
address Of the lower house In reply to the speech
from the throne an ultimatum beyond the
demand for amnesty, which the Emperor will
seek to satisfy by partial pardon for political
Offenders The other demands OF the address
will be considered declarations of opinion upon
which the Emperor is not called to pass until
they find expression by legislative enactment.
The trip OF President Nouromtseff of the lower
house, to Peterhof to-day, as had been antlcl-
pated, was productive OF no changes in the situa-
tion Though the leader OF the house received
the utmost consideration. and was singled out

trained from referring to politics.
AS far as the rules of precedence permitted.
M. Mouromtseff was the guest of honor. On the
arrival OF the special train with the members OF
the Cabinet. NJ, Mouromtseff was seated in the
first carriage. He was ushered to a front place
at the tie Deum' at the chapel and at lunch
con was seated between General Rudiger, the
Minister of War, and M Kokovsoff, the Minister
Of Finance and the Emperor, who ad-
dressed much of his conversation to him.
The date of President Mouromtsefrs audience
to present the address has not been determined.
In case he is not summoned to Peterhof on
Monday, parliament will meet that day, but
though the radicals rampant in spirit, their
leaders are determined to hold the house in
leash until Premier Goremykin has delivered a
general statement of the governments policy.
which under consideration at a conference
lasting ten hours between the Emperor and the
Premier on Friday
The government certainly does not intend to
yield to the demands of parliament but the de-

compel parliament. by pacific assurances, to as

The moderation of the Constitutional Demo
cratic leaders has already brought them under
the ban of the Radicals. Several Social Demo-
cratic and Social Revolutionary organizations
have arraigned the party for betraying the cause
of freedom by not insisting direct secret and
equal suffrage in the address. The radicals Of
the house are expected TO break away and form
separate party groups. The chiefs of the ma
jority, however, will not regret their departure.

American books on municipal ownership in

The reformers now command the sympathy
