Without single bitch and with only a minor in cident to mar tb memorable day. tb Russian parliament wa inaugurated yesterday. Tbe emperor's message in reality was less a tbron speech than a greeting, and required only tbree min ute for JU delivery. Emperor Nicho las read slowly. The admirable and even cordial ton of the sovereign in re newing bit pledges and asking the co operation ot parliament for tbe regen eration of the country was only nega tively satisfactory. Courtiers and spectators other than members ot tbe national parliament led the cheering, bnt the members were ominously silent. Wbat rankled most wa tbe failure ol tbe emperor to men tion amnesty, and later, when tb members assembled in the Tanride pal ace, away from the spell of tbe tbron room, many of them were with diffi culty restrained from precipitating matters by offering resolutions on tb subject. Tbe Constitutional Democra tic leaders, however, who dominated everything, were anxions not to weaken the reply which tbe lower houte will prepare to tbe speech from tb throne, in which issues with tbe crown will be joined, and succeeded in staving off premature action. By tbe irony ot fata, Ivan Petrunke- vitch, whose first mention of tb word constitution 12 years ago was dismissed by Emperor Nicholas II aa "a foolish dream." today stood in tbe front rank ol tbe members ot tbe representative chamber, while Emperor Nicholas pnt nis official seal npon tb Russian parliament.
