St. Petersburg, May 21.? The czar re
fused to receive the committee of the
douma with the rep[y to the address
from the throne. Tha action has
caused such excitement that the
troublous times of last week were ser
ene and lamblike in comparison. The
parliament, revolutionists and democrats
alike, consider the refusal an alTront.
The democrats, or constitutionlists, are

Emperor refuses to receive committee of duoma with
reply to address, and peoples representatives are
furious-Radicals want immediate revolution-- Speci
al session on Sunday continuous all night.
having serious trouble in holding the
radicals in line at all. The latter are
in favor of an immediate declaratfon
of civil war.
The czar, in refusing to receive the
committee of the representatlvas of the
people, said that the communication
could be delivered to the ministry for
consideration at Monday's meeting and
that the reply to it would be delivered
by M. Goremykin, the prime minister.
Immediately the president of the duoma
called an executive session and it was
in session all day and all night. A
stormy time was had. Newspaper
correspondents could witness parts of
the proceedings through the glass doors
but no sound escaped the chamber.
Delegates, red with rage, could be
seen talking excitedly.
Much talk of civil war can be heard
on the streets.
In the eyes of the court party the
czar is preparing to dissolve the par
liament and to call another election
with a very greatly restricted fran
chise with the idea in view of electing
only partisans of the bureaucracy as
representatives.
It is said that the czar's reply to the
demards of the parliament will be to
notify it that it is infringing upon the
prerogatives of the czar.

he'was short his roll, he looked ud

found the Scotsman's vest, tucked
away in which was $180.
