THE BERMAN EMPORIUM Third Street—DBemidji, Minnesota—Third Street X JU O O O O llllllll“llilllllllll LEADER OF LOWER HOUSE BIT- TERLY DENOUNCES CZAR'} " REPLY TO DEMANDS. CONFLICT" NOW SEEMS INEVITABLE ALL REQUESTS MADE IN REPLY TO SPEECH FROM THRONE ARE REJECTED. St. Petersburg, May 28 —Premier Goremykin's speech, in answer to the reply of the lower house of parlia- ment to the speech from the throne, was unexpectedly firm in tone and produced such a vivid impression that h conflict is now considered inevitable. To the demands made in the address of the lower house in reply to the speech from the throne it was almost a complete non possimus. It reiter- ated that general amnesty was impos- sible, but promised the release as rap. idly as possible of those who had been arrested by administrative order. There could be no question, it was pointed out, of the abolition of the council of the empir r upper house, as that is an institution covered by the fundamental law and is bevond ihe competence of parliament. Most important of all the premier declared that the basis for a solution of the ian problem proposed by thy house was completely im: po: le. There could be no forced propriation of land, He promised, however, the distribution of some of the appanages of the state domains and ocutlined a broad pr nime for popular education, the revision of the tax laws and the institution of polit- ical liberty. Speech Heard Premier Goremykin evidently was not used o public speeches, as he labored under a considerable strain and spoke in a low, weak voice, which at times, thongh deathly silence pre- vailed, failed to reach the rear of the great hall except as an indistinet mut- tering. The reading, which was rdpid, as if the premier had been in a hurry to get through with a disa- greeable task, lasted eighteen minutes, The members in the meanwhile sat stolidly silent and when the premier had iinished and bowed to the assem- bly not a murmur of approval was heard throughout the house. A woadertul scene followed when M. Roditeheft, the leader of the Con- stitutional Democ: . mounted to the rostrum to reject in behalfl of his party the government’s reply. With burning words he flung down the gauntlet to the government, thunders of applause greeting his sallies of de- fiance. frand Duke Nicholas Nicholaieviteh, who oceupied the imperial box, shrank back into a corner as the orvator flayed the administration and the premier and the other members of the cabinet seemed to shrink lower down in their chairs. Members Wildly Enthusiastic, When M. Roditcheff turned toward the benches occupied by the ministry and with armn outstretched menacing ly declared that “it is not the govern ment but the representatives of the people here assembled who must de cide what is best for the welfare of the country” the members were wild with enthusiasm. Time and again the house roared with ironical laughter at the orator sarcastic denunciations of the poli of the government. M. Roditcheff concluded with a de- mand for the retirement of the bu- reaucratic cabinet and the ereation of a respo e ministry from the peo- ple's chosen representatives. He said: “The government can destroy the country alone, but it is impossible for it to restore it without the co-opera- tion of the people and we call npon you,” turning again to the ministerial benches, “to obey the dictates of your conscience and give way to a min- in which the nation can have confidence.” As M. Roditcheff ended the mem- bers sprang to their feet and for three minutes wildly cheered him and his speech. in Silence. Strike in Full Swing. Odessa, May 28.—The strike in the harbor here is in full swing and the inhabitants of the city are greatly ex- cited owing to fears of a confliet. The Black Hundreds are attempting to in- cite the people to attack the Jews. PRESENTS HIS CREDENTIALS. Ambassador Wright Received by Jap- anese Emperor. Tokio, May 28.—Ambassador.Luke E. Wright, accompanied by the mem- bers of the American embassy and the ladies of the party, proceeded to the balace during the day to present his credentials to the emperor. The court master of the ceremonies went to the embassy to convey the ambassador to the palace in an imperial carriage and astroop of imperial lancers acted as a guard of honor. This brilliant proces- sion reached the palace through the main gate, which is reserved for their majesties and the princes of the im- perial house and for visitors arriving and departing on state occasions. It is reported that the emperor was »| most cordial in his reception of the .umbajsndor and his suite, who after- wards were received in audience by the empress, PARLIAMENT DEFIANT| INSPECTION OF MEAT PROTESTS ALREADY BEING MADE AGAINST F‘ROVlSION IN AG- RICULTURAL BILL. PRESIDENT FAVORS THE AMENDMENT LETS AMERICAN AS WELL AS FOR- EIGNER KNOW WHAT HE . IS PURCHASING. Washington, May 28.—President Roosevelt has received indirectly pro- tests against the incorporation of the amendment of Senator Beveridge of Indiana to the agricultural appropria- tion bill providing for a rigid inspec: tion of meats for domestic use. Sen- dtor Beveridge had a talk with ‘the president about the provision, The amendment provides for two inspec- tions of the meat, both on the hoof and after slaughter. The latter will determine absolutely the quality of the meat. Senator Beveridge, discuss. ing the amendment, said: “It simply provides that the Amer- ican shall know that he is getting as good meat as the foreigner, who is well protected under the inspection laws.” President Roosevelt is understood to be favorable to the amendment. The expectation is that the amend- ment will be passed by the conferees of the two branches of congress and will remain in llle bill. IN COMPLETE CONTROL. JAPS Discriminate Against Foreign Mer- chants in Manchuria. ‘Washington, May 28.—Eastern mail brings news of friction between the English merchants and the Japanese officials resulting from the difficulty experienced by the former in obtain- ing access to the markets of Man- churia.© It is charged that the Japa- nese seized the opportunity afforded by their military occupancy of the country to concentrate all of the trade in the hands of their own merchants and that not only is the country glut- ted with goods brought in by the Japa- nese to a point that makes it prac- tieally impossible to find openings for Ruropean goods, but through their control of the transportation routes in Manchuria and Korea the Japanese officials are able to discriminate against traders of other nationalities. In one place the Chinese themselves complain that the Japanese have built a bridge across one of the principal streams so low that it can no longer be used by the Chinese boats, with the result that the trafic is diverted en- tirely to the Jupanese owned rail- roads. Tne ‘wheat crop of the Punjab sec- tion of India for this year has broken all records, being 500,000 tons in ex- cess of the previous best crop. Much opposition has developed in the senate commitiee on privileges and elections to voting at this session on the question of unseating Senator Smoot of Utah. Henrik Ibsen, who died at Chris- tlania May 23, will be given a state funeral, a niotion to that efrect hav- ing been unanimously approved by the Norwegian parliament.
