sells of the court camarIla, but seems 10
cling to the idea that "A compromise is
still possible.
But One Way Out of 1t.
Two plans for extricatiug the govern
ment without meeting the direct issue are
suggested by the Emperors moderate adj
visers. One Is simply to allow the lower
house to talk until the end of June, when
the summer vacation will be scheduled.
The other is to dissolve Parliament and
order a new election. But either course
will only increase the danger, The peas
ants undoubtedly will be profoundly
stirred by the governments stand and
people expect an immediate uprising.
NJ Shipoff of Moscow declares that
after the action of the lower house on
Saturday he could not accept the pre-

Emperor. but Parliament which repre-.
sented the will of the people.
Political Gulf Is Wide.
The debate on the personal liberty bill
was resumed. The feature was speech
made by NJ. ChtchegIoyito1, minister Of
justice, in an exceedingly liberal tone.
The speech created much comment, es.
pecially as the government distinctly re.
pudiated all responsibility for the min
listers conciliatory remarks on Saturday,
and in view of the fact that it was ru-
mored that he would be dismissed. The
outcome of the minister's concilatory re
