PROCLAIMS HIS PURPOSE While Political Assassination Con tinues, Justice Will Pursue As sassins Slight Hope of t Averting Revolution. ST. PETERSBURG. May 23. The fol lowing official statement of the govern ment Justifying the refusal to grant plen ary Amnesty was given out tonight, and will be made public through all the papers of Russia tomorrow morning: "The question, of full political amnesty which has been raised In Parliament, and which 1 Included in the lower house's ad dress to the Emperor and supported by several organs of the Russian press, is far from meeting with a sympathetic re sponse from all sections of Russian so ciety. Assassins Hinder Amnesty. "It la impossible to avoid noticing a strong current of feeling against full am nesty in all classes of the population, where, it is pointed out. political assassi nations do not cease. News is dally tele graphed from the provinces of fresh mur ders or attempts to murder officials. In the presence of such an irreconcilable dis position on the part of the adepts of .the terrorist socleties, the government cannot expose the peaceful, right-thinking sec tion of the population to danger. . "The government cannot refrain from bringing to Justice terrorists and bomb throwers. It cannot deliver from punish ment by judicial sentence people who have committed and still are committing such crimes." Grim Picture of Terrorism. "Concerning those who have been ar rested by administrative order, many al ready have been and others will be lib erated after careful Investigation of the causes of arrest. The full pardon of all who have been rrested by administrative order is a possibility and it may also be possible to abrogate definitely . by legis lative order states of war. extraordinary defense and further to Institute Judicial prosecution In localities where the revolu tionary movement displays itself. Judicial representation is at present impossible in those districts, owing to terrorism and assassination even of witnesses summoned to testify before the courts. But the over excited state of public feeling above all In the districts referred to is unpropltious to the revision or the abrogation of ex ceptional laws. "Such is the opinion of the impossibility and lnopportunenesa of the full amnesty entertained by those sections of society which, refusing to be carried away by preconceived views, face the reality of things In Russia in a reasonable spirit." FORESEES REIGST OF AXARCHY Mllukoff Fears Czar Will Throw Away His Opportunity. ST. PETERSBURG, May 23. Professor Mllukoff. the spokesman of the Consti tutional Democrats, according to a thoughtful article published by him In the Rech today. Is rather despondent over the prospect of staying the tide of revolution In the country. He bases his pessimism upon the con viction that the Government win not yield a full constitutional regime, with which he says it is still possible to calm the passions of the people. He regards Premier Goremykln and his Cabinet as mere puppets doing the bidding of the powerful influence at court, and be lieves that Emperor Nicholas Is destined to throw away the opportunity, aa Louis XVI did, of transferring the country to I peaceful. Parliamentary regime. This the professor considers the government's last chance, and he thinks a refusal will cut the ground from under the Consti tutional Democrats and strengthen the revolutionary elements, which are preaching that Parliamentarism is an il lusion, and make anarchy and a bloody revolution Inevitable. Nevertheless the Constitutional Democrats will persevere In their attempt to place the country on a solid constitutional basis, and If they fall and disaster follows, the responsi bility will not be upon their shoulders. The central committee of the Consti tutional Democrats has completed the drafts of the laws to be introduced In Parliament, including universal suffrage .Irrespective of sex and equal rights for til cltisens; laws guaranteeing Immunity of the person and Inviolability of domi cile except by due process of law, provid ing also the guarantee of habeas corpus and specifically excluding all exceptions. While no party at court favors a com plete surrender to the demands of the Lower House of Parliament, the Trepoff cabal, which secretly favors a dissolu tion of Parliament, la not strong enough for the moment to seriously, urge such a course. The Emperor continues well dis posed and Is supported not only by many nobles at the court, but by other big landed proprietors throughout the coun try, who now seem fully convinced that unless the peasants can be measurably satisfied by a compromise on the land question, a revolt of the peasants against the nobles will be aroused, which will ruin the latter, as the peasants will forcibly seize their property to the ac companiment of horrors and excesses. The provincial papers are filled with advertisements offering estates for sale. Inserted by property-owners who, de spairing of saving their property, are ready to accept what they can get and Bee from the country. Ciar Tries to Sell Forest. ST. PETERSBURG. May 23.

ROBBER TRAILED TO LAIR Chickasaw Mountaineers Shoot Sown Assailant of Women. OKUHOMA CITT. Okla.. May 2$ It was learned here today that a double murder to cover a robbery, followed by a lynching, occurred in the wilds of the mountains in the Chickasaw Nation two weeks ago.

Tutt. who lives sear the base of the mountains, and de manded food. He was refused, and Mrs. Tutt found it necessary to enforce her rusal by the display of a gun.

I METCALF GIVES PROOF Evidence Chinese Government Fa vored Boycott Consuls' Blunders! WASHINGTON. May 23. Secretary Metcalf, complying with a resolution of the House, has sent to that body a long report from Commissioner-General Sar gent, of the Immigration Bureau, giving the history of the enforcement of the Chinese exclusion law. The last chap ter deals with the Chinese boycott of American goods and reproduces official proclamations of Chinese officials, which. despite assertions to the contrary, show that the Chinese Government is at least not discouraging the boycott. In July of fast year an official proc lamation was made by the Chinese Consul-General at San Francisco to Chinese in this country. The official translation of It contains this language: The Chinese exclusion act of the United States is what Chinese merchants at all ports desire to retaliate against by means of commercial boycott on American goods. The said boycott this department (Chinese For eign Office) has never at any time pro hibited or obstructed. The report states that at the time this proclamation was issued newspaper re ports had come from Minister Rockhill In China "that the Chinese Government Is vigorously opposing the threatened boycott of American goods." Setting out the conflicting duties of the Consular officers in encouraging com mercial relations and scrutinizing pros pective immigrants, the report adds: Whether from the above causa or from dishonesty on the part of the consular offi cers or both, the fact Is that hundreds of certificates have been issued by the Chinese officials and vized by American consular officers -for Chinese persons so palpably ool les that it is difficult to oacetve that any one even glancing at them casually should have taken them for members of any other class. During the past three years, the report says, 1245 section 6 certificates were is sued and vized in China. Of these 277 were for persons not entitled to admis sion to the United States. The report adds that the Chinese now "have been compelled to resort to other subterfuges to effect their unlawful practices."
