VOL. m. NO. 150 OGDEN MINISTRY NECESSITATED OMAHA BY PARLIAMENTS ACTION Rumored That Former Finance Minister Ship-of- f Will Be Asked to Form New Cabinet Emperor in Conference With Former Governments' Policy Regarding Lands Dissatisfies Peasants. Leaders May 28. Rumors of the ministry are everywhere current tonight. It la persistently reported here and at Moscow that former Finance Minister 8hlpoff haa received an urgent aummona to Peterhof to confer with Emperor Nicholas, presumably with regard to the formation of a new cabinet, although he has frequently expressed hla unwillingness to take over the premlreshlp. A dispatch from Moscow to the Associated Press reports that M. Shipoff left that city late today for St. Petersburg, but that it was Impossible to ascertain whether his coming is or is not in response to imperial command. It la possible that M. Bhipoffa only errand is to attend the session of the council of the empire tomorrow, but the present situation is so plainly impossible that a shift is not, at all It la alao rumored that Prince Urusoff haa been summoned to an audience of the emperor. In the meanwhile the present ministry, among whom there ia no Daniel to read the handwriting on tha wall in the attitude of the lower house, 1 calmly going ahead with its agrarian program, which it hopes to submit to the lower house within a fortnight, and, contrary to expectation, to provide for the distribution of millions of acres of crown land In European Russia. All this seems to be labor lost, as in the present temper of parliament, which haa taken the bit in its teeth, no proposition from the government, however liberal, as was shown by its reception today of the speech of Minister of Justice Cfcttehegtorttoff, is rapt to, receive tha slightest consideration. . The governments policy, which the Associated Press is authorised to announce, is founded on the expectation ia landing tha board by tha decision of the crown lands, the clearing of a portion of the imperial forests, and the voluntary aala of private estates, to mast the land hunger of tue peasants without the necessity of forced expropriation. Outlining these Btlch-Insk- y plans, Minister of Agriculture said this evening that the government already had at its disposal. 25.000.- 000 acres, composed of 10,000,000 seres of crown arable lands situated largely in Volga region! ; 8,250,000 aarea of clearable foreat, and 8,760,000 acres of private estates, tha owners of which have announced their readi-nea- a St. Petersburg. a slilft In . to sell. Without doubt thousands of other landowners will be only too anxious to dispose of their holdings at reasonable prices. These lands will be sold to peasants on time through the peasants' bank, the payments not commencing for seven yean. The program, in addition to colonization of Siberia and Central Asia, contemplates the improvement of the agricultural method of the peasantry, which are primitive and unproductive in the extreme, and for bringing tha peasants, whose gregarious ness leads to their gathering in villages and even In towns of a population as high aa 30.000, nearer to their land. The optional abolishment of the communal system by authorising peasants who desire to do so to distribute their holdings in fee simple also is contemplated. This will mean abolishment of al further payments for land, under which the peasants have been groaning since 1861, and will make possible a reasonable propensity of the peasantry with regard to the resolution of lack of confidence. M. Tlchlnsky said the cabinet waa standing on constitutional ground when it considered that the public, In adopting auch resolution, had gone beyond its prerogatives and there was not the slightest binding force. The cabinet would not take notice of the vote. It must not be forgotten, however, that the government is actually bicephalous, the cabinet being one head and the emperor the other. A rude awakening from the ministry's dream of tepreasion is possible. An omen of the change of the times is given in the acquittal of Prof. Paul M. Mllukoff, M. Hessen and M. Korolenko, the writers against whom prosecutions for press offenses have been pending for two months, excluding the two first named from membership In the house of parliament. Allmdin Mlchaelinno and other radical members of. the house have been - with telegrams from social demrocratlc organizations demanding that the house adopt an offensive program, transform itself into a constituent assembly, seise the reins of power and addrea a manifesto to the troopa calling upon them to transfer their allegiance from the emperor to the peoples representatives. flooded BANK COME FORWARD.
