PRESS IS MUZZLED
Russian Newspapers Fear to Com
ment on DOuma's Work.

st. Petersburg, April 3O.-With the
exception of the Novoe Vremya,
which holds itself outside of the ordi-
nary press restrictions, not one of the
morning papers today ventured to re-
port yesterdays debate on the gov
eminent recruiting bill in the lower
house of parliament, fearing suspen-
sion and in their accounts of the eX-
ecutive session of the house, referred
only guardedly to the conflict between
the house and the government.
The Reich, organ of the Constftu-
tional Democrats, summarizing the
work of the lower house up to the
present, says:
"In spite of enormous difficulties
and much friction the douma has
made considerable progress, having
organized 1 committees to handle the
principal problems of social recon
struction. A number of projects are
ready for presentation to the house,
including reforms of the courts, pro-
viding for the inviolability of the per-
son, and several financial laws which
the Easter recess, while a measure
providing for religious liberty and
other laws will be reported at the end
of May" a go
interview published in the Slovo to-
day as saying:
1.-THE conditions are now so changed
that there is no prospect of an early
dissolution of parliament and there is
ground to hope that the lower house
will display creative activity resulting
in the enactment of the necessary re-
forms''
The Rossi, ministerial. remarks:
1.-THE douma is daily losing author
ity in the eyes of the people owing to
the absence of a working majority,
but there is an undercurrent of hope
that the Constitutional Democrats will
be able to create a sane majority and
redeem the usual situation.
1.-THE greatest danger to the dourna
is considered to be the possibility that
the reactionists in the cabinet after
last nights conflict between the gov
eminent and the house, may appeal
over Premier Stolypin's head directly
to his majesty on the ground of the
well known devotion of the army to
the emperor, the reactionists being
encouraged by the failure of M
Stolypin to compel the retirement of
M. Won Schwanebach, the comptroller
of the empire and reaction member of
the cabinet who. has been working
hard in the campaign for the imme-
date dissolution of parliament
1.-THE latter boosted to a foreign
diplomat that he had the full backing
of the emperor in his refusal to re-
sign the com ptrollership."

IN DEAD OF NIGHT.
Body of Pope Leo VIII Be Transferred
Privately.

London, April 30.-A dispatch from
Rome says that it has been finally de-
cided that the body of Pope Leo shall
be transferred to the church of ST.
John Lateran at night, and as private
ly as possible. The idea of asking the
government to assist in the ceremony
and to guarantee the safety of the
procession conveying the remains has
been abandoned.
The pope told Cardinal Satolli that
he was convinced that he was inter-
preting his predecessors wishes cor
rectly in seeking to have privacy OBJ
served Cardinal Satolli and the other
members of the Sacred college COM
prising the funeral commission, con-
CURED in this. Cardinal Satollf SAYS
that If the procession was public no
number of troops the government
might supply could prevent a single
disrespectful shout. which would con-
stitute an outrage upon the corpse.
Moreover, the Intervention of troops
might be misconstrued as sign of
reconciliation between the vatican and
the government.
