WANT THE CzAR'S HEAD

ST. PETERSBURG, May 2S.-The
Russian douma has Indignantly re-
jected the governments policy as pre-
sented by Premier Goremykin and
with only seven dissentient voices vot-
ed lack of confidence in the ministry,
practically throwing down the gauntlet
to the bureaucracy with a demand for
the retirement Of the present cabinet
and its supersession by ministry ap-
proved by the majority in the house.
The spirit of absolute revolution is
In the air, and conflict between the
crown and the nation now appears to
be inevitable. While the house avoided
the appearance of delivering an uti-
matum. the government seems to have

patches received from the interior indi-

inaugurated in Il few days with gen

all amnesty has been refused them.
With breathless anxiety society
awaits the governments response to
the bold action of the douma which in
censuring the ministry and demanding
slap in the face and a direct challenge,

avoid meeting. Parliament has burned

national convention.
"The government. if it dares to
fight" said NJ. Kokoshkine, one of the
Constitutional Democratic members of
the house, "can disperse the parlia-
ment, but the victory of the bureaucra-
cy would only be temporary. 1t would
inevitably be followed shortly by
bloody revolution, which would not
leave stick of the present govern
ment standing. The emperor must
choose between n real constitutional
government and the loss not only of
his crown, but probably of his head"
Professor Kareieff said that paral-
lei of the early stage of the French
revolution is now complete.
Grave news comes from the prov
inces. Instead of acting as a sedative
the assembling of parliament has been
marked by an alarming increase in
revolutionary agitation and terrorlstic
activity on the one hand and of Black
Hundred activity on the other. The
extremists of both sides are thus di-
vided into two hostile camps, and both
are arming as If preparing for an in
evitable civil war
