tion of the governments policy pro

most cherished hopes and plans of the
people's representatives. A conflict is
now considered Inevitable. ..W--J;....:l ..
The lower house, with only seven dis
senting votes, voted the order of the
day. demanding; the resignation , of the
ministry and Its replacement by a cab
inet composed of members chosen-from
those enjoying the confidence of the
majority of the lower house of parlia
ment. . - '
There could be no .question it was
pointed outrby the premier In his speech
of the abolition of the .council of the
empire, or upper house, as that ' Is an
Institution covered by the fundamental
law and Is beyond the competence of
parliament. . r - . - . ,
Most Important of all,' the premier de
clared, that 'the basis for a solution of

lower house wsa completely Impossible.
There could be no forced expropriation
of land. He promised, however, the dis
tribution of some of the appanages of
the state domains.
When the premier, had finished reading
aad bowed to the assembly not a mur-
rout of applause was heard.
. R&dltchefr, the' leader of the eonstl-
lutroharrDemocrals. mounted the ros
trum to reject. In behalf -of -his -party,
the government's reply. With burning
words he .flung down the gauntlet to the
government, thunders of applause greet
ing his sallies of defiance. - -
The grand duke Nicholas Nlkolalevtch
shrank back Into the corner of the Im
perial' box as the orator flayed the ad
ministration and the premier, and the
other members of the cabinet seemed to
shrink lower In their . chairs. When
Rodltcheff turned toward the benches
occupied by the ministry, and with arm
outstretched menacingly . declared that
"It Is not the government, but the rep
resentatives of the people here assembled
who must decide what Is best for the
welfare of the country," the members
were wild with enthusiasm.
Rodltcheff concluded with a demand for
the retirement of the bureaucratic cabi
net and the creation of a responsible
ministry from the people's chosen rep
resentatlves. ;
