ATTACK ON ARMY
CAUSES TUMULT
Cabinet Resents Insult by
Threatening to Boycott
Douma.
OFFENDER IS SUSPENDED
Socialist Deputy Zuraboff Says Army
Always Beaten in War Storm
Breaks Ijoose nd Many
Duels Are Likely.
ST. PETERSBURG. April 29. A savage
attack was made tonight against the gov
ernment and the army by the Socialist
member, M. Zuraboff, during the first ex
ecutive session of the lower house of
Parliament, caused a rupture between the
Ministers and the Douma. which, for a
time, threatened to precipitate the disso
lution of the house. After M. Zuraboff's
harangue. In which he declared that un
der an autocratic regime the army was
"worthless except against the people and
that It was beaten whenever It engaged
In a foreign war, the Ministers withdrew
from the house and served an ultimatum
upon President Golovin that unless the
offensive expressions were retracted by
M. Zuraboff and the rule providing for
temporary suspension was applied against
liim they would sever all future relations
with the Douma.
Causes Crisis in Cabinet.
M. Golovin was unable to have the de
mand complied with, as the Radicals
supported their colleague solidly and the
Poles refused to vote. The suspension
and formal rebuke of M. Zuraboff was
pronounced by the President of the cham
ber, but this failed to satisfy the minis
tors, who subsequently ordered the gov
ernment experts to withdraw from the
evening session of the budget session.
Immediately after adjournment Premier
Btolypin summoned an extraordinary ses
sion of the Cabinet, which apparently
tirnueht matters to an issue between the
Premier and the reactionary members of
his Ministry. What transpired is not
known, but at midnight Premier Btoly
pin summoned M. Golovin artd informed
him that the incident had caused Berlous
friction in the Cabinet. He hoped, how'
ever, a way would be found tomorrow to
arranga matters without fatal conse
quences to the Douma.
Zuraboff liaises Storm.
The early discussion of the army bill
In the Douma today was stormy, but the
culmination came at 6:30 this evening,
when M. Zuraboff made his speech. Presi
dent Golovin, when he restored things to
a semblance of order, attempted to ex
plain nwav M. Zuraboff's words aa a criti
cism of the old army under the old re
gime, both of which had passed away.
lie then suspended the session ' for ten
minutes In order to allow the passions of
the members to cool.
. The recess was protracted for al
most two hours while a series of
wcishty conferences were being held
and reports were telephoned to M.
Stolvpln and the Emperor. Finally
Lieutenant-General Rudlger, Minister
of War. announced the ministerial
ultimatum, adding that the Emperor
would never stand such Insults to his
faithful army.
When the House reassembled, M.
Golovin announced that, owing to the
tumult, he had not clearly understood
the purport of M. Zuraboff's remarks,
and after having read the stenog
rapher's report, he found the reflec
tions u,pon the army unparliamentary
and inadmissible In debate. Therefore
he deprived M. Zuraboff of the right
to the floor.
Tumult Ends In Bolt.
The wild tumult again broke loose
and the members of the Right refused
to permit M. Tzereteli. who wanted
the floor, to speak. Premier Golovin
shouted that unless the uproar ceased
he would resign, but order was not
restored until the Social-Democrats,
the Social-Revolutionists and other
members of the opposition, with M.
Tzereteli at their head, filed out of
the hall. M. Golovin requested the
House to express approval of "nis
course and this was voted by the
minority Democrats remaining.
At a conference of the Social-Democrats
tonight the advisability of M.
Zuraboff's Immediately quitting St.
Petersburg, owing to the certainty of
his being challenged to -duels and the
danger of his being summarily dealt
with In case he declined to fight was
considered.

ON GUARD AGAINST RIOTING
France Expects Trouble Only in the
Ports and Revolutionary Hotbeds,
PARIS, April 29. The fear of extensive
troubles " In connection with May day
laoor demonstrations has disappeared, so.
far as Paris Is concerned. The authori
ties have decided it will not be necessary
to bring additional troops here. Last
year's disposition of troops and police
will be repeated Wednescday. Meetings of
workmen will be permitted, but no street
processions.
Several of the more violent Socialist
agitators already have been arrested.
Dispatches from the provinces indicate
that the government's energetic measures
to preserve order at all hazards have
dampened the ardor of labor organizations,,-
as many of them have abandoned
the (dea of making demonstrations, be
lieving that they would only lead to con
flicts with the police, in which the
workmen would be the greatest suffer
ers, i
Trouble Is likely, however. In the large
seaports Toulon, Brest, LOrient and
Cherbourg and in the Interior cities of
Rouen, Lyons ana Limoges, which are
revolutionary hotbeds.

AMERICANS TAKE THE LEAD
RECOGNIZED AS FIRST IN THE
FRENCH ARTISTS' SALON.
Fallieres Opens Exhibition Pro
nounced Best In a Dozen
' Years.
PARIS, April 29. President Fallieres,
accompanied by the representatives of I
France and foreign nations, including
Henry White, the American Ambassador.
this afternoon -inaugurated the Spring
salon of the society of ti-ench Artists in
the Grand Palais. It is the universal 1
verdict of critics that the exhibition of
paintings and sculpture surpasses any
seen in a dozen years.
America for the first time leads all
foreign countries, both in the number and
in the excellence of works displayed. This
is recognized and a prominent .place has
been accorded to American canvases. Eng
land secured second place. The entire
exhibition is remarkable for the uniformly-high
standard of the works. Only 1600
pictures are shown, the jury having ruth
lessly rejected those of over 4100 aspir
ants. All paintings of the decadent or the Im
pressionist schools have been vigorously
excluded.
The sensation of the salon is a huge
canvas by William Laparra, who won the
Prix de Rome last year. The painting
originally was entitled "Grandeur Mill
taire," "Dut this was subsquently changed
to "Le Piedestal." Perhaps the most
artistic bit of canvas is that of Joseph
Bail, which shows two nuns In a con
vent. The Marquise de Wentworth's portrait
