CROWDS AT DOUMA
Russian Parliament Renews the De-
bate Today, But Nothing of Serious
Nature DeveIoped-Government Still
Hesitatins What Course to Pur

ST. Petersburg. May 2S.-There was
no direct echo at today's session of the
lower house of parliament OF the decs-
i've struggle which was opened Satur-
day, but In anticipation of sensational
sequel a crowd of considerable size
gathered outside Tauride palace. There
was much excitement In the corridors
beforS the house met. An officer iden-
titled as colonel on the general staff
created stir by openly declaring in
the presence Of a score of peasant
members that the day had come when
the army would support the parliament
which represented the will of the peo-
pie and not the emperor.
The debate on personal liberty
will he resumed. A feature was the
speech made by the minister of JUS
tice, in an exceedingly liberal tone,
menting proposed laws, which he in
#dorSed with bills providing for re-
organization of court procedure and
others To enable OFFICIALS guilty Of
abuse of powers to be prosecuted civil
i and cririinaliy. The minister's
speech created much comment, espec-
tally as the government distinctly re-
pudiated all responsibility for the
minister's conciliatory remarks on
Saturday and in view of the fact it
was rumored he would be dismissed
The outcome of the minister's con-
ciliatory remarks was to show how
great is the gulf between parliament
and the ministry.
Pessimism over the outlook contin-
ues to grow. The government, as usu-
al in every crisis, seems to be hesi-
tating as to which course to pursue.
The emperor refuses to yield to the
counsels of the court camarlla, but
his attitude continues to be negative
and not affirmative. He seems to
cling to the idea that compromise is
still possible. Several official notes
have been issued denying that the gov
ernment intends to resort to force, but
at the same time there is no evidence
that the emperor is ready to yield to
the demand for supercession of the
present ministry, with one from the
majority in the lower house of parla-
ment. The result is a virtual dead
lock, the prolongation Of which can
only serve to diminish the chances of a
peaceful settlement.
