concluded the debate on the Public Meetings
hiIl this evening, and adopted it by $50 votes
against g.
In the course Of the debate the Minister Of
Education. NJ BRAND. left the Chamber and

NJ. Clemenceau. the Premier. in reply TO crit
icisms by n. Jaures, the Socialist leader ad-
nlitted that incoherence existed. but said that
he the Premier. although not responsible there
for. intended TO stand by HIS colleagues. NJ.
BRAND thereupon retired to the lobby. fully
determined to give up his portfolio. as he con-
sidered that the Premier's remarks referred d.
rectly to himself After repeated efforts on the
part OF his colleagues, NJ. BRAND consented to
reconsiders his decision. and finally returned to
the Chamber with NJ. Clemenceau. The Premier
expressed regrets from the tribune for what
ne called a pure slip of the tongue. and said
that he regarded NJ BRAND as Indispensable to
carrying out the great reform undertaken by
the government.
The resumption Of the debate afforded the
Premier opportunity TO make further explana-
tion OF the governments attitude In the matter
Of the bishops declaration. which he called "an
insolent ultimatum." and added:
II the episcopate considers this basis for
negotiation. we do not respond. The bishops
will not obtain anything beyond the common
law. We viii not concede anything, but we Will
hold the line Of battle with unexhausted re-
sources.
The Public Meetings bill consists OF four sec
lions. The first authorizes meetings without
previous declaration of Intention the second re-
peals the restrictions contained IN the acts OF
1881 1905 and 1907; the third instructs the
mayors Of France TO put the existing meeting
places at the disposal OF the public and the
fourth holds the organizers Of meetings respon-
sible for damage. This law win become opera
tive as soon as it passes the Senate.

ELECTORS IN RUSSIA.
Strong Conservative Party Probable
IN Nert House.

St Petersburg, Jan 30-The primary cleo
tions for members of the lower house of par
lament by the smaller landowners came to an
end to-day in thirty-eight provinces. comprising
one-half the total electorate in Russia. Accord
ing 10 administration figures the electors are
divided approximately follows: Conserva-
tive Monarchists. 80 per cent: Moderate Pro-
gressives 40 per cent, and Constitutional Dem
ocrats and other extremists. % per cent. These
returns, however, are admittedly untrustworthy
as a guide to the final result. but they assure
the presence Of a strong Conservative wing in
the next house.
The third group in the above enumeration
contains a large number of Social Democrats
and Social Revoutionists. including several
members Of the Group Of Toll, who had seats IN
the last House and who now are eligible for re-
election. The peasants in the Kief district
wanted TO return a member of the Group of
Toll named Zubckenko. but his nomination.
which had been unanimous. cancelled be-
cause he was of the signers Of the Viborg
address.
The election by peasants in Ekaterinoslav of
two men who had Just returned from political
exile is another indication of the sentiment Of
the peasants in some sections of the country.
Complaints have been received from several
provinces that the local authorities eXerting
pressure to prevent the election of Radicals and
are attending TO get rid of Objectionable candi-
reported that seven OF the representatives of the
St. Petersburg workInen have been removed I'm
this manner. The peasants in several districts
notably SaratOn and Slmb1rSk, defied the OIL
cials, but in most cases they yielded to coercion
The first city elections indicate that the Con-
stitutional Democrats are still strong in the
urban constituencies.
The peasants in Russian Poland generally are
electing Nationalist representatives.
