PARLIAMENT MEETS.
Elect or
Russian People Assemble In
Open Session.
Bt. Petersburg, May 11. 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.

age Customs Service.
Pekin, May 11. An imperial edict
which may radically affect the status of
Sir Robert Hart, director general of tb
Chinese customs and tbe customs estab
lishment, waa published today, aa fol
lows:
"Tieh Liang, president ot tbe board
of revenue, is hereby appointed super
intendent of customs affairs. Tons -
Sbao, junior vice president of the For
eign board, is appointed associate min
ister of Customs affairs. All Chinee

governmenst are expected to resist it.
