RUSSIAN DUMA IS BUSY
House Has Much Work in Passing on
Credentials Of Members.
REAcTIONARltS FIGHT FOR Dissolution
NOvOe vremya Declares Duma IL Mere
Organising Center for RevOlu-
tiOnRPy Movement and
should BE Dinpersed.

ST. PETERSBURG, March 1.-THE lower
house of Parliament reassembled this
morning in sections for consideration Of
credentials of members. Protests were sub
mitted against the election of the entire
Populations from Bassarabia, Poltava,
Minsk. Mohileff. Novgorod, Voronezh,
kazan, Kherson and the city Of Kishinev.
The conservatives challenged the elections
OF the members from Hurst and several
other provinces, but with no chance OF un-
seating them.
The radical parties are hopelessly at odds
regarding the manner of raising the oues-
ton of amnesty. The socialists persist in
forcing 1t Immediately to the front. in the
form of an open declaration to the people,
which practically would be a plea for rev.
olution. caucus of the social revolu-
tionists and members Of the peasant league
last night rejected this, as we'll as a
proposition to make an appeal or demand
to the emperor on the subject and It was
decided TO introduce a regular bill provid-
ing amnesty for political prisoners. This
Is undoubtedly unconstitutional and hence
unacceptable to the constitutional demo-
Gratis. who are anxious to observe the
forms of legality. The cabinet. in any
event, win not regard the introduction OF
an amnesty resolution as warranting the
dissolution OF Parliament.
ReactiOnaries Busy.
The reactionist campaign for the proro-
| CATION Of Parliament under any pretense
Is in fun swing. The Novoe Vremya, which
is in close touch with the so-called cam
erillo at Tsarksoe Selo--the organization Of
which is opposed to both Premier stoly-
pin and Parliament-signihcant declared
today that the house is a mere organizing
| for n
should be dispersed at the earliest posi-
BILE moment.
Meetings were to have been held in sew
eral factories here yesterday and addressed
| by revolutionary members of Parliament,
but they were abandoned, owing to fear Of
police interference. The recent circular is
sued by General Dracheffski, project of
police of st. Petersburg, announcing that
he would not hesitate to violate the auton-
! omy of the university in order to prevent
the holding OF public meetings in that
building has made 1t clear that the authori-
ties do not intend 10 sanction an open rev.
dictionary propaganda under the cover OF
! Parliamentary immunity.
NJ. Golovin, president of the lower house
OF Parliament, has resigned his member
ship in the ce ltral committee OF the con-
stitutional democratic party as being In
compatible with holding the PRESIDENCY OF
the house.
