ST. PETERSB'JRG. The ii.ilial
stop? toward the adoption of n direct
address to the country to counteract
tho impression tho government's
communications with regard to tho
sotUoment of the Agrarian question
fire making among tho peasantry,
wero taken in tho lower house of
parliament, when an interpellation
was introduced asking for an explan
ation of this dissemination of the
governmental proclamation to the
peasants.
This proclamation accompanied
the publication in the Ollioial Mes
senger of the governments agrarian
bill, and set forth the emperor's con
stant solicitude for the peasant's
Welfare and denied that the govern
ment was opposing expropriation m
the interest of the landlords, con
cluding win an express! )n of the
vital necessity of maintaining tho
right of property a3 being tho
foundation oi the state.
The interpellation was referred to
4 commission which is expected to
,'ccommcnd the issuance of a counter
tppeal sotting forth the views and
Intentions ot parliament.
Professor Kuzmin-Karavaieff, the
legal expert of parliament has de
reloped the theory that the action
)f the administration in spreading
piews directly opposed to the
expressed policy opposed to the
pressed policy of the legislative
branch was an illegal encroachment
on the privileges of parliament.
Count MukhanolT, president of tho
douse agrarian commission, dilated
on how the law, which the com
mission was now elaborating, was
handicapped by tho circulation of
the emperor's proclamation. Now
tactics had been necessitated by
alarming news from sections as to
the effect? produced by the proclama
tion. The slow progress of parlia
ment was contrasted with the govern
ment's fair-sounding promises o' tho
distribution of all arable lands and
Dther measures to relievo the land
hunger of the peasants. Count'
MukhnnofT added that the report was
being spread in many parts of the
country that the emperor had ordered
the distribution of lands to tho
peasantp, but that parliament, like
tho wicked fairies in old stories was
withholding the "little lather's"
gift from his children.
The house made slight progress
with the debate on the Bialystok
report. The principal now contribu
tion was Deputy Vinavor's assertion
that anti-semitic pamphlet? are still
being printed in the oilico of the
prefecture of police at St. Petcrf
burg, the deputy giving titlo of the
pamphlet and the name of its author.
The discussion will bo continued.
During the day Baron Ropp, a
0 itholic bishop representing Vilnr-,
said a general had informed him that
the soldiers would never lire on
Christians, but only on Jews. Ho
Baid he was convinced that the chief
administrative oiliciaJs always were
capable of stopping excesses if they
cared to do so.

ST. PETERSBURG. -The full re

shows that Admiral Rojestvensky was
ncqu itted on the ground that ho was
not in his full senses and therefore
was not accountable for what trans

Some of the officers who were tried
with Rojestvensky were acq i i I ted,
