THE MORNING - OREGONTAN, SATURDAY, JUNE 15, 1907. STERN DEMANDS IE TO I 001 Allow Arrest of Conspirators or Dissolve, Says Stolypin. ULTIMATUM IS REJECTED Dissolution of Donma Is Matter of Hours Troops Surround Taurlde Palace and Reactionists Ac claim Death of Liberty. ST. PETERSBURG, June 14. The absolution of the lower house of the Russian Parliament appears today to be a question of only a few hours, or at most of a day or two. With only 130 opposing; votes, the lower house tonight rejected Premier Ktolypln's ultimatum for the immedi ate suspension of 65 Deputies for membership in the Social Democratic party, and referred the subject to a committee. Although the committee has been Instructed to repoat tomor row evening. It is known in advance that the decision on the main Question will be adverse and that the Douma Will accept the recommendations. May Demand Evidence. Tn order to keep strictly within Its leal rights, the committee may rec ommend the suspension of 16 leaders on condition that the government dis close the evidence against them, but there is not the slightest expectation on either side that thhi will save the situation. An extraordinary session of the Council of Ministers is being held to night to discuss the decision of the lower house. Up to a late hour, no re port has been received from the Coun cil and no decf" of dissolution has been Issued. Tho general Impression Is that no edict will be promulgated pending final action by the lower house. Victory for Reaction. The session of the St. Petersburg committee of the Social Democrats was attended by a large number of the accused Deputies The meeting is being held in secret, the police hav ing occupied the headquarters of tile party. The prestige of the military organ ization has been particularly affected by the recent arrests, which have al most entirely nullified the effects of the propaganda in the army. , Tile present step Is regarded by the reactionaries as a turning back of the hands of Russian history to an hour before the promulgation of the famous October manifesto. It is a foregone conclusion that no new Douha will be convoked on the basis of the present electorate. STOLYPIN MAKES DEMANDS Threatens Dissolution and Surrounds Douma With Troops. ST. PETERSBURG, June 14. Premier Stolypin today demanded that the lower house of Parliament exclude from the house all the members of the Social Democratic faction, numbering 65, and sanction the arrest of 16 of their leaders, including M. M. Alexinsky, Tzeretell, Dihaparidze and Ozel, on the charge of entering into a conspiracy to overthrow the government and establish a demo cratic republic. Continuing, the Premier announced that unless the House Immediately yielded Parliament would be dissolved. The press and public galleries were cleared, the police and troops took pos session of the entrances to the Parlia ment building, and the house went into secret session and debated the question raised by the Premier. The Douma eventually declared a recess until this evening without taking a vote on the government's demands. The streets outside the Taurlde Palace are filled with secret police, who. It is presumed, had orders to arrest the Social Iemocratlc members of the house when they emerged from the building. The courtyards of the buildings In the vicinity of the ' palace are tilled with Cossacks and mounted police. When the session was resumed, the Constitutional Democrats, Poles and Group of Toll decided to. refer the gov ernment's demand for the exclusion of the Social Democrats to a committee, which was a virtual rejection of the Premier's ultimatum.

PLAYS A WAITING GAME Clenicnceau Delays Stern Measures Against AVinegrowers. PARIS. June 14. The Ministry of the Interior has no intention at present of Instituting proceedings against the wine growers' oentral committee. The of ficials here are hopeful that the concil iatory manner of Premier Clemenceau toward the municipalities, with its grave a-arnlngs of tho responsibility attaching to attempts to breac down the whole civil government, will -prove fruitful and that tn movement will 'be .stemmed before it becomes necessary to employ sterner measures. The situation in the so-called "federated provinces" is developing most slowly. A dozen more municipal officers have sent in their resignations, but these marks of sympathy with the winegrowers' move ment are not coming in as fast as the central committee anticipated. In the meantime the Government " is pushing through the Chamber of Depu ties its anti-fraud tin, which the Minis ter considers will go a long way to satisfy the winegrowers.

Fort Pitt, Pa., were cast In 1867 for the monitor Puritan two 20-inch guns, which Captain W. C. Wise, then chief of the Naval Bureau of Ordnance, proposed to call Satan and Lu cifer. This proposition called forth a pro test from the pastor of a Presbyterian Church at. Pittsburg, who characterized it as "most unseemly, If not Impious." His .letter was referred by 'the member of Congress to whom it was addressed to the department, and finally it came into the hands of Captain Wise for reply. In answer he called attention to the foreign custom of giving to vessels such names as Jupiter, Juno. Vulcan. Venus, Juggernaut.
