RUSSIAN PARLIAMENT.
THE ADDRESS-IN-REPLY. PRACTICALLY AN ULTIMATUM DIM HOPES OF PEACEFUL SOLUTION. Received 16, 11.31 p.m. St. Petemdubg, May 16
Though respectfully drafted, the Douma's Address-in-Roply to the Speech, is practically an ultimatum to the Czar. It contrasts the promises made on the thirteenth of October with the subsequent repression, and insists on universal suffrage, and ministerial responsibility to the representatives of the Nation as the only means of impressing the demands of the country on the Monarch. It proposes to devote to peasants in acute* needs, lands belonging to the State, Crown and monas. tcries' appanages ; compulsory expropriation of private lands, and awaits a full amnesty as a pledge of the Czar's and the people's mutual agreement. The Council of the Empire is overwhelmingly against a full amnesty, and hopes of a peaceful solution arc dimmed.
