which holds itself outside of the or-

morning papers ventured to report yes-
tcrday’s debate on the government re-
cruitlng bill in the lower House of
Parliament. fearing suspension and in
their accounts of the executive ses-
sion of the house referred only guard
edly to the conflict between the house
and thmversment.
The h organ of the Constitution-
al Democrats. summarising the work
of the Lower Rouse up to the present.
says:
“in spite odionornous dlifcultles and
much friction the Duma has made con-
siderable progress. having organized
fifteen committees to handle the prin-
cipal problems of social reconstruction.
A number of projects are ready for
presentation . to the house. including
reforms of the courts, providing for
ve'al financial laws. which will be ta-
en up immediately after the lihster
recess. while a measure providing for
religious liberty and other laws Will be
reported at the end of May."
President Colman is quoted in an
interview published in the Slave to
day as sayinI'
"The conditions are now so changed
that there is no prospect of an early
dissolution of Parliament. and there is
ground to hope that the Lower House
will display creative resulting-in the
enactment of the necessary reforms."
The Russia, Ministerial, remarks:
"The Burns is daily losing authority
in the eyes of the people owing to the
absence of a working majority. but
there is an undercurrent of hope that
the Constitutional Democrats will be
this to create a sane majority and re
deem the situation. The greatest dan-
ger to the Burns is considered to be
the possibility that the reactionists
in the Cabinet after last night’slcon-
iilct between the goverment and the
house, may appeal over Premier Stolyh
pln's hesddirectly to his majesty. on
the ground of the well'known devotion
of the army to the emperor. the reac-

ure of M. Stolypln to_compei their re-

comptroller of the Empire and mac
tionery member of the cabinet. who
has been working hard in the cam-
paign for the immediate dissolution of
Parliament."
The Lower House of Parliament to-
day adopted the government‘s recruit
