CZAR'S NEW PARLIAMENT 4 FARCE Imperial Manifesto Sadly Disappaints People Hoping For Freedom and Constitutional Righta—Aute. erals Retain Power, ST. PETERSBURG, March 22 The oSar's lmiperial manifesto szcd ukases which incorporate la the fundamental law of the empire the provisions for a baticual sssembly in Russias, promised lu the manifesto last fall, are disap- poluting ia wany respects. They con stitute neither a constitution sor a “Bill of rights” for the Husalan people They do create a popular assembly, but the powers granted to it are so hedged about with restrictions and conditions that it will be rather a par lament in name than in fact Nevertheless by the terms of the maulfesto the emperor himeelf i= pow- erless to revoke what he has now given. This constitutes the great vic tory which the people have won. They At last have au suthorizative medium through which they cen make thelr voice heard, and it Is In this assembly probably that the great historical struggle against prerogative and privi- lege will be fought out An examinatiou of the documents shows clearly that thelr purpose has been to Intrench the government at every poiut against the assaults of the people.

All idea that the cabinet would be responsible te parliament, whieh was freely intimated after the publication of the manifesto of last fal, is aban doned. Bveu the privilege of interpel- Iating the ministers turns out to be vague and perhaps Ineffective. This right ls specifically cvnfiued to lugui ries relating to alleged violations of lsw by ministers or their subordinates. Moreover, explanations ean vnly be de- manded upon subjects directly under consideration, aud ministers, as In the United States, can refuse to reply on the ground that reasons of state pre- vent them from se doing. A minister choosing to reply to lnterpellations has the right to demand the closing of the doors and the exclusion of the public The members of the council of the empire are elected for nine years and the members of the lower house for five years, but by Imperial ukase when the two houses are dissolved the em- peror can order new elections. Tle following is textually the oath whieh members of parilament must yn the undersigned, promise before Almighty God to fulfill to the best of my ability the dwties with which I have been charged as a member of the parliament of the empire, remaining faithful to his majesty the emperor and autoerat of all the Russias and striving only for she happiness and welfare of Russia.” Harvard Professor Dead.
