Upon M. Stolypin, who in company with
his colleagues was sitting near to the
speakers tribune. the words fell as
thunderbolt, recalling the most painful in
cident of his career as premier. He turned
deathly white, clenched the desk and
stared motionless for several minutes at
the unprecedented storm let loose by the
reactionary surging past him. Finally he
left the chamber without uttering word.
TumuIt Lasts Half an Hour.
The tumult caused by M. Roditc heff's
speech continued for half an hour during
which the speaker was severely handled
and finally carried away bodily by his sup
porters to a corner Of the hall. The party
leaders then entered into a long CONSUL
tation and 1t was made plain by the con-
stitutional democrats that Mr.. Roditchef
had meant no personal attack on the pre-
mier but had been carried away by Inn
petuosity. NJ Roditcheff then went to the
pavilion and begged M. Stolylin's forgive-
ness. After an hours recess the session
was reopened.

to suspend M. Roditoheff from the sittings.

The session OF the Duma today. which

bate on the declaration Of the government
presented by Premier Stolypin yesterday.
broke up in a riot. The reactionists as
saulted Fedor 1. Rodcheff, orator Of the
constitutional democrats, and attempted to
drag him from the tribune order to
end his vitriolic attack on the government.
Premier stolypln and cabinet members
witnessed the demonstration and departed
when It became evident that the bowling
mob had no intention of allowing the ses-
sion to proceed.
NJ. Rodicheff, in a ringing speech, in
which he was constantly interrupted by
applause or jeers was eulogiZing the hun
dreds of victims Of drumhead courts-mar-
tial. and when he refurred to the officials
of the government as hangmen a hundred
reactionaries led by Vladimir Purishke-
witch, monarchist, and two priests stormed
the tribune.
President Khomyakoff, after vainly ring
ing his bell for order, abandoned the chair
and declared the sitting closed.
The constitutional democrats and social
democrats charged to the rescue Of M.
Rodicheff. who was being roughly handled.
They formed phalanx around him and
bore him, still shouting defiance, to one
corner Of the hall The tumult continued
for fully half an hour until the party
leaders succeeded IN Withdrawing their fol-
lowers to the committee rooms for con-
sultation.
CarpetbaFgers Denounced.
During his speech NJ. Roditcheff said the
Russihcation policy Of the government in
Poland and Finland made him ashamed
70 call himself a Russian citizen. He re-
ferred to the carpet bag patriotism OF
this policy and declared that since the
crude time OF the Moscow czars, the autoc-
racy has done nothing TO elevate the con-
dition OF the people, had ruined happy ana
prosperous sections Of tho Russian empire
and had inculcated, in place Of the orig
inal Slavic principles OF liberty and civic
rights, a Byzantine despotism which had
brought rpine and desolation in its train.
He maintained that the opposition parties
loved the country passionately but they
wished to make It possible for humblest
inhabitants 70 have the same equality be-
fore the throne and In the eyes OF the law
and the same pride in Russian citizenship
